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.

Prominent Place Achieved In Wasbln-

SEATTLE, Wash., March S. (Spe
cial.) State Senator Lincoln Davis, a
Republican, and for nearly 20 years a
prominent figure In the political life
of Washington, died this morning in a
local hospital. Incapacitated by Illness
from attending- the session of the Leg
islature, of which be was a holdover
member, almost the last thought of the
veteran was of "the boys at Olympla,
and he asked those at his bedside to
send his greetings to them. The 15tb
session of the Legislature was dying
this morning as Senator Davis, for six
terms an honored member of the upper
branch, passed away. Only once did he
answer the rollcall during the session,
and on that occasion he was wheeled
into the Senate chamber In an Invalid
chair.
Senator Davis was 56 years old, a
native of Iowa. He Is survived by his
widow and one daughter, Anna v.. by
a former marriage.
He was a life member of the Elks,
and a prominent Eagle. Twice in bis
career he was an unsuccessful candi
date for Congress, once in Pierce Coun
ty, and last year in the Seattle district.
Before his election to the fctate ben-
ate from the Twenty-second District of

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.
Among the many subjects to come
up for discussion at the Kansas City
convention was the question of military

training; In the hlgrh schools of the
country. 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.
Great praise. was given Dan Freeman,
of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
road; and R H. Atkinson, of the O.-W.
R. & N.. for their aid to the educators
of Portland in advertising this part of
the country.
