t TTT13 MORXTXG OTIEGOXTAX, SATTTRDAT, MARCH 10, 1917. 7 RURAL CREDIT RATE IS NOT GUARANTEED Point Emphasized That .Inter est to Be Paid Depends on How Bonds Sell. INSTALLMENTS MAY VARY Ir. Macpherson Says Law Does Xot Conform With the Amendment Adopted by Voters, Providing for Straight Amortization. eAJJEM, Or, March 9. (Special.) Tt wa-3 pointed out today at a meeting of the State Land Board with Professor Hector Macpherson, of the Oreron Agri cultural College, that rural credits money aoe.y be loaned to the farmers at any Interest rate orer 6 per cent, ac cording' to the fluctuating- price of the bonds If they are sold below par, and that 6 per cent money is not at all a certainty. State Treasurer Kay ma4 the asser tion today that he had d'scvraaed the ruestlon of selling' rural credits bonds with a representative of one of the leading bond-buying houses in the United States. The bond buyer told him that while three months ago the rural credits bonds would have sold considerably above par, it Is very doubt ful If the bonds would sell above par now anoj that In a month or two more they may have to be sold, at a dis count. In event they are sold at a discount. Jt will be necessary for farmers bor rowing money from the fund derived from the sale of such bonds to pay a Ihlg'her rate of Interest than S per cent. It developed at today's meeting that the amendment Which was passed, was not the amendment designed by the promoters of the plan and the amend ment which Its backers believed, had passed. Ir. Macpherson declared that on an examination of the amendment a few lays ago he discovered the word "equal1 had been left out of It as It was adopted by the voters and as a result It was considered by the members of the hoard and upheld by Assistant Attorney-General Van Winkle that It would not be necessary to adhere to the straight amortization plan, of paying off the notes. The elimination of the word "eqiraJ does not require equal payments to be made each year, and the fact that the amendment allows the principal to be paid off at the rate of $50 or multiples thereof on any payment date also leads the board to believe that the amend ment does not Insist on the straight amortization plan of payment. Members of the board are more con vlnced that there will be no slump In the demand for the 6 per cent money of the state school fund. as arrived.

Superintendent Alderman and Dr. J. Francis Drake Upturn From Kansas City With Advice for Extensive Plana. Portland is the most talked-nf rtt- that has ever entertained the National Education Association, say L. R. Alder man, Superintendent of Schools, and Dr. J. Francis Drake, member of the Board of Education, who returned yes terdaw from the convention of city school superintendents at Kansas City. jaoin are emphatic In the assertions that Portland will entertain at least 16.000 visitors to the convention this Summer. Dr. Drake and Mr. Alderman returned yesterday, having stopped to visit the schools of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Portland and Oregon were both well advertised at the Kansas City conven tion, sam Mr. Alderman. "Samuel Lancaster did one of the biggest pieces of advertising the state could get in showing the color pictures oerore tne Kansas City people, said Mr. Alderman. Wild Applanso Given. "He exhibited the pictures before the biggest single crowd that assembled at the convention, through a strange trick the electrician anticipated the end of the pictures, and turned on the lights before Mr. Lancaster had quite finished. The people went wild and It was almost 15 minutes before they ceased applauding." Another bit of advertising1 for the state took place at the conclusion of the lecture when Portland visitors to the convention and railway officials served loganberry lulce to 2000 persons. It was a new drink and added greatly to the desire to visit Portland, it is asserted. Besides the advertising given at the Kansas City convention, Mr. Alderman said that wide publicity was being given the city by educators of National prominence who are lecturing through out the country. He said that wher ever Dr. A. E. Wlnshlp, publisher of the Journal of Education In Boston lectured, he spoke a good word for Portland, and lauded Its school system. Mr. Alderman also said that Carroll G. Pearse, head of the Milwaukee Nor mal School, who was a Portland visi tor during the educational convention here recently, had told him that Port land was destined to have the best con vention in the history of the National Education Association. Portland people should mobilize all the public agencies to make the con vention a success, said the superintend ent. "We must have co-operation from all soucres," said Mr. Alderman yesterday. "There may be a few petty differences existing, but let those be forgotten and let us all work to make the convention what eastern people anticipate It will be." In his several publlo appearances while east, Mr. Alderman, in urging attendance at the convention, told the people that wherever they haled from when they arrived in Portland they would find their own state societies to welcome them. There will be sepa rate headquarters for visitors from all states that maintain state societies here, and the state flowers will be much In evidence. Mr. Alderman said that he found the two-group plan had given the Portland school system Nation-wide publicity. In fact, he said that Portland was recognized as a leader In public edu- atlon.

Mr. Alderman said that al though there was some sentiment In favor of it there was a greater feeling that there should be universal military training instead. He said that one of the most inspir ing addresses he had ever heard was delivered by ex-Senator Albert J. Beverldge on the "New Nationalism." In which It was urged that this coun try strengthen Its own institutions In stead of copying the institutions of other countries. Dr. Drake asserted that Mr. Alder man was regarded as one of the coun try's foremost superintendents, and that with the exception of the teachers' tenure of office law and the shortening of the tenure of schools directors, Portlands educational system was re garded efficient.
