FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
Rural Credit.
OKKUON CITY. Sept. 12. iKditor
of the Knterpise i Following my re
marks in the last issue of the Kilter
prise on the national rural credits law
I will take up the proposed Oregon
rural credits amendment.
In the voters bulletin. Issued for
November 7, llU'l, It will be noticed
that there are no arguments advanced
against the rural credits ameiulmeni.
. This mav e vp the impression to
many that this law lias no bad fea
tures and Is practically perfect. There
by gaining many votes that It does
not deserve.
To cover the whole question of rural
credits at one time would require a
very long article, so I will confine
myself to only one or two points at
this time. Later on I will show the
weaknesses of the arguments in the
voters pamphlet.
The first step to make in a reform
of any kind is to consider the condi
tions that call for a change and de
termine what has caused these condi
tions. It is not necessary to cite separate
illustrations of the depressing rural
conditions that should bo changed Any
person can see hundreds of these Il
lustrations in almost uny rural sec
lion, and practically every one has
some friend or relative living in these
conditions.
The cause of these conditions Is al
most as plain as the conditions them
selves. There is practically no dif
ference in mv views regarding the
cause and the views of those support-j
ing rural credits excepting that I do j
not lay the blame all on one or two
things as some ol the supporters of
this amendment do.
Dot-tor Hec tor Mud'hcraon of the O.
A. C. madf the following; statement
legarding the cause of these rural
conditions in the April liO, issue of the
"Oregon Farmer." and I also believe
it to be the main cause. He says:
"Following a land boom people came
he-re, paid whatever was asked for
land, spent all they had, went into
debt, and find it a desperate strug
(;!" to exist, let alone make money."
Generally speaking, In order to real
ly cure any unfavorable condition it
is universally admitted that th . catme
must be removed. Ilindlng a cloth
over a cancer may make It present
able for a time, but it will not relieve
the person. The cancer itself must
be removed in order to obtain a cure.
Taking Doctor Macpherson's words,
"Following a land boom," we have
the main cause of these depressing
mral conditions stated in the words
"land boom." Every one knows that
rural credita deals with the Interest,
rate proposed to lower it. Now, sure-

ly. anyone that will pause to think;
w ill see that according to the above j
stated cause and tho suggested cure,
that, a high interest rule causes land,
booms and by lowering tho interest j
rate it proposed to decrease or stoi
the land booms; which remember are
the cause of the depressing rural con
ditions that exist today.
Actually instead of a high Interest j
rale causing land hooma It would df
Ihe opposite and likewise a low Inter-1
,.,i r-.ii. uiii,i imvfi a tendency to
create land booms. One of the re
sults that Is apt to follow the Inaot-iin-iit
of this amendment Is a move to
the land, which will result In thc In
creasing the depressing rural condi
tions we now- have, instead of de
creasing or removing them.
I believe that anyone will see, after
giving it some thought, that rural
c redits cannot possibly "top or de
crease land booms, that it may actual
ly inc rease them. Also that If It does
not prevent or slop land booms, which
the farmers of this hill say are the
cause of our unfavorably rural condi
tions, that It is truely a "fake reform."

diveisll!ed farming. With the rapidly'
increasing business of the two planli
In Salem, the future of the loganberry
Is assured. The price of three cent

it gives the grower, the manufacturer

all the business of the loganberry Is
baneil on the price of three cents u

HEADS OF WHEAT TURN BLACK
IN WEATHER LIKE THIS
SOME GRAIN IS SAVED.
Italn of the lust week has cost
Cluckamas county farmers thousands
of dollars. Grain Is turning black In
tlin fields, hops uro molding nml other
crops are being spoiled by Ihe un
timely showers.
Kvery section of tho county Is suf
fering. In koiiio purls the grain has
been threshed, but In other localities
the heavy showers have beat down the
grain. Tho rnln came in the heart of
the harvesting season, probably at thai
time of year when II would do the
most damage.
Willi pickers gathered In the hop.
fields nml the proprietors of the yards
cheered by tho prospects of una of
the best yields of recent years, the
rain has suddenly washed away their
hopes. Kurly HiIh week mold devel
oped in yards In southern Clackamas
and northern Marlon counties and sev
eral owners announced that they
would not pick this year.
Around the Molalla and Muckslmrg
countries much grain has been gath
ered In, the farmers harvesting good
crops, but In other districts the rain
came loo soon, or the thresher too
lute; nt least the crops are spoiling.
Some few farmers with their crops
still out, however, will not suffer a
total loss.
