SHANKS OFFERS PLAN Restricting Power of Suite Land Board Has Aim, While Farmers' Bodies Want Board to Have Full Charge. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 17." (Special.) A lively fight Is brewing over the enacting law which the pres ent Legislature must pass to put Into effect the rural-credits amendment to the state constitution adopted by the people last November. This amendment provides for a state bond issue of S18,- vuu.uuu. Senator Shanks, of Gilliam. Sherman and Wheeler counties, introduced a bill mat is now before the Senate com mittee on agriculture and forestry that represents one view of the situation. His measure, of course, would lnva the administration of the law with the state Land Board, as the amendment requires, but It puts certain restric tions upon the administrative power of the Board and provides a superin tendent for the direct supervision of bue man. Farmers Favor Land Board. The legislative eommIttenr tb. State Grange. Farmers' Union SLnrl h State Federation of Labor are prepar ing; anotner measure whlh would have the State Land Board handle the run credlts fund in the same manner that they now handle the common school fund. In a formal statement Issued tnnln-ht Senator Shanks declares that the rea son for the restrictions on the power of this Board Imposed by his measure Is that, the state's credit being at stake, more strict business methods than have been used by the Board in handling the common school fund will be Impera tive. Board la Derelict, Says Mr. Shanks. He points out that under the admin istration of the State Land Board in terest on a large part of the state school, fund has been permitted to re main delinquent for a considerable time without serious effort to col lect iti He cites figures from the reoort of the State Treasurer to show that inter est on 12, 870.618. 9 of this fund has .been permitted to be delinquent all the way irom one aay to six months; on 1514,713.81 for more than six months, on 1132,511.17 for more than 18 months. and on $39,900 for more than 2!i years. Ike report of the same official for the biennial period ending September 30, 1914, shows practically a like con dition," says Senator Shanks' state ment. "I want it distinctly under stood that I am not questioning the Integrity of the members of the State Land Board, but simply show the con dition of tnese school loans as a reason why the rural credits fund should have a superintendent whose sole duty It Is to look after this Important matter of keeping the Interest on the loans paid promtply. Superintendent of Loans Urged. "I have aimed in my bill to provide substantial method for carrying Into effect the provisions of the amendment In a business-like manner, and in-earry- ing out this idea have provided for a superintendent of farm loans, to be appointed by and under the supervi sion of the State Land Board at a salary of $2400 a year. "I also provide for a title examiner to examine all titles and not leave the matter to the various agents throughout the different counties of tho state, who are not required to be attorneys. It is my understanding that at least-two of the number employed at this time are not attorneys. I also provide for the appointment of one of more appraisers to be optional with the State Land Board. "The measure whicn tnis joint ieei latlve committee of the Grange, etc., is to present, leaves the handling of the rural credits fund to the same ma chinery which now handles the com mon school fund. It U exactly this feature of their proposed bill that 1 oppose, and have eliminated in my bill, and I feel that I have a very valid reason for so doing." Prompt Interest Payment Aim. Senator Shanks' statement then goes on to quote the statistics already cited, relative to loans on which the Interest has been permitted to become delin quent. "The rural credits amendment, con tinues the statement, "provides for the raising by the sale of bonds of ap proximately J18.000.000 to be loaned at a cheap rate of Interest to the farmers throughout the state. The interest on these bonds must be paid promptly on the day it falls due, otherwise the credit of the state will be impaired, so It is imperative that the interest on the loans, from which the bond In terest must be paid, be met more promptly than Is now the case with the school fund, or there will be no money on hand to meet the bond interest- , "Inasmuch as the" present machinery does not keep the interest collected on the $6,000,000 of school money, is 11 reasonable to expect this same ma chinery to do any better when it hat an extra $18,000,000 to handle? Sidelights of Legislature. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 17. (Special.) Roderick Macleay, who operates one of the big com mercial fishing plants 'near the mouth of the Rogue River, which some of the sportsmen are anxious- to annihilate because they say it interferes with the propagation of the fish, has been around the Statehouse for the last few days. Macleay is not particularly in terested In the fishing legislation, he says merely stopped here on his way to Portland to see some of his friends. Representative Lewis made a fairly good speech this, morning In defense of his bill to permit whites to marry negroes, Chinese and other colored folks, but learned after he was through that another bill was under considers tlon. Anyway the Lewis bill came up a few minutes later. The skids were, well greased ana oown it went.

Hurd, ex-Representative of Lane County, visited the Capitol this morn ing and shook hands with some of the old-timers. The grange lobbyists James 8. Stewart and C ' E. Spence who were caught napping yesterday and per mitted the roads committee to report favorably on the Bean bill providing for a state bond Issue to match the Federal road appropriations for the state, lost another chance to make good to redeem themselves this morn ing. The committee report came be fore the House and was accepted with out a whimper. Stewart and Spenoe had hoped to start a fight against It. Harry Crltchlow, one of the news papermen covering the Legislative ses sion, was 26 years old yesterday but looks about 16. His deceptively youth ful appearance caused the Polk County Observer, published in Dallas, where Crltchlow was born and reared and "the boys" should certainly have known better, to refer to him In the follow ing unforglveable terms: "Harry Critchlow. of Portland, who was in Dallas Saturday, Is employed as a page In the Senate during the Legislature." Senator Julien A. Hurley, of Vale, is the youngest member of the upper house. He Is only 81 years old. There never Is any trouble about understanding Senator Farrell's posi tion on a bill.
