THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY. TANU ART 14. 1921 8 LONG-TIME LOAN BONUS PROPOSAL Gordon to Have Idea Put Into Proposed Measure. FINANCES HELD POSSIBLE Cash for ex-Servlce Men Is De clared to Be Out or All Possi bility at Present. STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Jan. 13. (Special.) Long-time loana far ex ervlce men instead of a cash bonus is an idea which Representative Gor don of Multnomah will have drafted into a measure to submit to the legis lature next week. All of the ex-sol diers who are members of the legls latnre are said to be heartily in favor of the plan ana at conferences which have been held the main points of the idea have met with approval Those who have studied the sug gestion of a cash bonus to ex-aervice men have been unable to eee their Way clear to raise a fund sufficiently large to meet the demands. A cash bonus by the slate would run into many millions no one knows just how many The 6 per cent limitation makes it Impossible u handle a cash bonus, o that a special election would have to be called to authorise a bond issue. Substitute Held Excellent, Since the plan of Mr. Gordon has keen promulgated it hal been seised Upon as an excellent substitute for caeh bonus and in the long run It Is Believed will be better for the service men and for the state as welL The legislature Is willing and eager to do something for the service men, but the cash bonus has been a stum bling block because of the tremendous um required. The Gordon solution Is mere practical and can be worked ut wltheiit unnecessary machinery. Briefly, Mr. Gordon's plan is to have leans made to ex-service men up to 92000. This money Ls to be repaid to the state In installments, so arranged that 4 per cent of the payment will be for Interest and 2 per cent applies to the principal. The period of the loan is set for 29 years. Financing Is Discussed. By obtaining a loan of $2000 In a lump sum on city or farm property, to be repaid in 20 years, an ex-service man receives a substantial start to ward being a home owner- or farm owner The loans would run about "5 per cent of the value of the property. Financing of this loan proposition Coald be handled by drawing on the Industrial accident fund, the school fund and possibly one or two other funds which can be lent by. the state treasurer. As to placing loans, the tatc land board has the organization for putting into effect such a pro gramme, this board having facilities for making appraisals of property and attending to the details of making the loans and, In short, administering the idea. Da tails of the suggestion have not been worked out, but Mr. Gordon will have a rough draft of his bill pre pared during the week-end adjourn ment. The rough bill will serve as a basis for amendments and can be whipped Into final shape in com mittee. Mr. Gordon has held a conference with Representatives Korell, Leonard, Hammond and Speaker Bean and Adjutant-General White as well as Others interested in the wt-ifare of the ex-service men and thus far the Gordon plan has met with hearty ap proval.

Tele ran Aid Proposed. STATE HOUSE. Salem, Or, Jan. 1J. (Special) Extension of the provi sion now made for the relief of indi gent veterans of the Spanish-American war to -the veterans of the world war is provided In a bill presented to the house by Representatives Johnston, Hammond. Marsh, Pierce, Koreli, Leonard. Wells and North. STATE HOUSE, Salem. Or., Jan. 13. (Special.) A bill designed to fur nish protection for persons who fur nish labor and materials for highway construction and at the same time eliminate the alleged exorbitant pre miums now exacted by surety com panies as a consideration for bonds ls h.inr rirAfted hv J. M. Devers. attor ney for the highway department, for introduction In the legislature some time next week. The present statute demands that the highway commission require 01 each contractor fox highway con struction a bond in at least 50 per cent of the amount of the contract. The surety companies charge a pre mium of 1V4 per cent of the face of the contract, or 3 per cent of the amount of the bond. It will be ob served, therefore, that on a contract involving a consideration of J200.000 the statutory bond would be $100,000. and the premium on the bond would be S3000. It also will be noted that on a programme of highway con struction costing 10,000,000 the pre mium on the bonds required in sup-' port of the contracts on a basis of lhi per cent of the face of the con tract would be 3150,000. The fact that so large a sum of money must be paid out for premiums on the bonds required by the statute has often suggested the question as to whether or not some other means might not be provided by the legis lature which would furnish ample protection to persons furnishing labor and material In connection with high way construction and which would, at the same time, save to the public at least a portion of the amount of money now paid out as premium on these bonds. From Information given the high way department. Jt appears that the concerns furnishing these bonds pro ceed on the theory that it is the ex ception that a contractor wlll fail or default In a sum in excess of 20 per cent of the face of the contract, and. working on that theory it appears that the bonding companies require the applicant for a bond to be able to qualify, dr to indemnify, the surety company to the extent of at least 20 per cent of the face of his contract. It will be noted, therefore, that work- ng on this theory, the percentage bf loss to tbe surety companies would not be very great. In the last year approximately 70 contracts for highway construction have been awarded by the commis sion. During the pasf year of those 70 contracts only two have defaulted thereby making it neessary for the state to take over and complete the work. It is provided by law that not more than 85 per cent of the contract price of any job can be paid until the Job is completed and accepted. Under this provision, a contract in volving construction work to the amount of $100,000 could qualify for only tho payment of $85,000 of the contract price, leaving $15,000 in the custody of the commission until the job was completed. If the expericnees of the bonding companies are a re liable showing that it is exceptional for a contractor to fall In excess of 0 per cent of his job. It would appear that if the commission were author ised to retain 20 per cenf Instead of li per cent that this sum, together with the final estimate, which Is never paid until the job is completed and accepted, ought to be sufficient to insure the payment of labor and material cist iris. During the last three years ap proximately 180 contracts have been awarded for highway construction, of which number only three defaulted. One of the three defaulting jobs al ready nas Been completed without loss to the state and with no out standing unpahS claims for labor or material, while the other two lobs are still under construction under the jurisdiction of the state liichwav commission.' . Under the highway laws, when a contractor defaults tbe surety on a bono, it tne surety company does not take over the job and complete it for the state, the state must take over the work, and after final settlement if there is a deficit the surety com pany nvist pay unless there has been some irregularity which would re lieve jt from legal liability. air. jicvcrs said today that it did not appear that the protection of the services which the state gets under the present system is adequate or commensurate with the amount of Tremiunis paid: also that there does not appear to be any competition among surety companies for the rca on that practically all of them charge the same rates. "There la no controversy over the lact that protection fhould be re rquircd for persons furnishing labor and material for highway, construc tion, said Mr. Devers, "and that the taie snouia ne indemnified n case of loss: but, based on the percentage jot loss, it Is evident that much of the money which is paid for premiums these bonds should go into high way construction." 0INT COMMITTEE ASKED (Continued From First Page.) raising more taxes. But It Is not be lieved here that he had any Idea at that time of Including churches and other property now exempt from tax ation on the tax rolls.
