SENATOR DENNIS SPONSOR

Impossible lor Most People
Unless Aid Is Given.
STATE HOUSE, Salem. Or.. Jan. 20.
(Special.) Every citizen will hv
chance to ne a home owner unaer
the'plan of Senator Dennie. submitted
this afternoon as a senate Joint reso
lution. Senator Dennis has undertaken
. .tmni solution of the housing
hl-h is now receiving the
attention of some of the leading minds
qC America.
Briefly stated. It Is the contention
of thinking people that one way to
meet the unrest of the nation is to
provide suitable housing and gratify
the inherent desire, sometimes latent,
in every man to own a home for his
familv. The home owner is the re
sponsible citizen who is the strongest
champion of the .government.
Acquiring real estate and owning
a home is an impossible task for the
bulk of people, unless assistance is
given. Senator Dennis' plan is to
point out a way in which this aid
can be offered in a businesslike man
iver. Housing Scheme Vtg Tnlng.
One of the big things in the hous
ing scheme of the senator from Union
and Wallowa counties is that it will
Inculcate thrift, as the people who are
granted loans will be inuusinuus mm
thrifty in order to repay the loan and
clear their home of incumbrance.
It is a new idea in Oregon. Senator
Dennis has not canvassed tne senate,
nor has he discussed the idea with
members of the house, and therefore
h nnt the slightest idea of the fate
In store for his proposed cure of a
difficult problem.
In the first place, the resolution,
whirh. if aDoroved by the legislature,
will have to be voted on by the people.
as it calls for a change in tne state
constitution, provides that the credit
of the state may be lent and indebt
edness incurred to an amount not ex
ceeding 2 per cent of the assessed
valuation of the property of the state.
Under this grant the state land
board, which Is to administer the
home owners'" fund, has power to
Issue J50.UOO.000 "Oregon owners'
credit bonds," these bonds to run 36
years and bear 4 per cent interest.
Proceeds to Afford Loan.
From the proceeds of these bonds
the state land board can make loans
on real estate from t-0 to $5000, the
loan not to exceed 50 per cent of the
valuation of the property on which
the loan is made.
Borrowers will be charged a rate
not to exceed 2 per cent of the rate
of interest on the bonds, and when
making application the borrower will
be charged 1 per cent of the loan to
defray cost of appraisal and exami
nation of title. The minimum lee win
be $10.
These loans are to be rcratd on
the amortization plan. The interest
and part of the principal being paid
at etated periods, and the loan to be
for a time fixed by the board, and
the applicant, but in no event to be
tor a period longer than 30 years.
A borrower receives the right to
liquidate the debts In amounts of $50
or any multiple thereof, so that, if
convenient, a borrower can wipe out
' the loan from the state at anx period.
State Land Board Judge.
Should the names of the applicants
exceed the available funds, the
smaller borrower will receive prefer
ence. The lowest loan obtainable is
$200.
Loans are to be granted for pay
ment of purchase price of real estate;
for purchase of livestock or other
farm equipment and improvements
which increase the usefulness of the
real estate or add to the value to a
degree to justify such expenditure;
for satisfying Incumbrances upon
auch lands and for such other pur
poses as may be " authorized by
Statute.
The state lanij board Is made the
Judge as to value of the property and
the size of the loan and is to .deter
mine whether tho improvements Jus
tify the loans. There is also a sec
tion which outlines what an appli
cant ehall state in his application for
a loan and tho course of action to
pursue in the event of the borrower
undertaking to divert the loan money
from the object for which It was
given.

Wkik the measure is paternalistic.
Senator Dennis contends that It will

everything to have the bill acted upon
favorably.
Many ex-service men from Portland
and other parts of the state are in Sa

seen about the legislative lobby are
recognized leaders in various veteran
organizations and many ex-service
men who heretofore have taken no
active interest in the activities of the
soldier organizations.
The soldiers' compensation ace Is
not a popular subject with the aver
age legislator. Many are said secret
ly to oppose a cash bonus from the
state, although few will voice their
opposition when approached.

acting as a unit, holding conferences
daily, and working on the preparation
of a bonus bill that will care for the

STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Jan. 20.
(Special.) Ira F. Powers, one of
the committee of 15, which has ap
proved the port bills, came to Salem
today. It dawned on him that this
was his birthday, so he hurried back
home without waiting for the rest
of the committee to arrive. "Any
one who says he Is as young at -18
as he was at 30," declared Mr. Powers,
"is a prevaricator."
e
"W. S. Cren, one of tho sponsors
of the Oregon system, came a lobby
ing today for the workmen's com
pensation act, which is to be amend
ed. Mr. U'ren, who on several occa
sions has tried to put the state senate
out of business, and who has probably
done more lawmaking on his own
account with the initiative than any
two or three legislators, viewed the
scene as from the heights. "No," he
answered. "I have no bills to have
tho legislature consider I have some,
however, but I'll ask the pec-pul to
enact them." Which is more of a
threat than a promise.
Representative Allen of Lane Is not
enthusiastic over his Job. "I had two
bills which I thought would simplify
practice and cut down costs," he
sighed. "One bill affected the law
yers and they walloped It. The other
affected abstractors and they finished
It." Mr. Allen is tapidly becoming
disillusioned.
.
Knowing Bill North's attitude to
ward "moon," some lobbyist decided
not to affront him, so a ten-pound
box of candy appeared on the repre
sentative's desk. Mr. North Is ruin
ing his digestion and threatening
himself with fatty degeneration of
the heart by munching the confection
all day long. .
Captain Hosford is the best lobbyist
in the house. He is systematic and
is always taking a poll of members on
his pet bills. The average member
works his bills with the committees,
but Captain Hosford covers more
ground and keeps pegging away pa
tiently, and sometimes gets results.
In other days members of the
lobby were dependent on the trains to
get into and out of Salem. Now, with
the highways practically paved be
tween Portland and Salem, legislators
and lobbyists shoot from one place to
the other in a little better than two
hours. With good roads and an auto
mobile, there are several members
who scoot home to visit the folks at
night every now and then.
Xobodv knows what became of
house bill 100: nobody apparently
knows the nature of the bill or its
author, and complete mystery sur
rounds It. For a time today house

bill 100 has been lost, strayed or stol

XEWrfCCMOtlTTEE IS ASSURED
Body to Handle Legislative District
. Bills Unopposed.
RTATE HOUSE. Salem, Or., .Jan. 20.
(Special.) Appointment of a Joint
committee to handle puis aeanng
with reapportionment of legislative
districts now is considered a foregone
conclusion. Today the senate adopted
Upton's joint resolution calling , for
this commission without a dissenting
vote. No opposition is expected in
the hduse.
President Ritner, calling Senator
Eberhard to the chair, took the- floor
when the resolution came up as a spe
cial order of business, and briefly ex
plained its history and purpose. Mr.
Kltner said the Idea of a joint com
mittee to handle reapportionment was
conceivod by Speaker Bean and him
self while they were traveling to
gether on a train In eastern Oregon
in December. The president made this
explanation, for there was a rumor
that some of the opposition to the
measure was caused by personal an
tagonism to Senator Upton, these op
ponents being of the mind that the
resolution was a device of that sena
tor. Furthermore, the president as
sured the senators that he has im
plicit confidence in (his standing
committees, which he appointed last
week, but believed, with Speaker
Bean, that the nature of the reap
portionment was such that it could
best be disposed of by a special joint
committee, so selected that its mem
bers would represent all parts of the
state.
Having been adopted by the senate,
the resolution -will next go to tha
house, where smooth sailing is as
sured. The joint committee will be
appointed- as soon as the house takes
favorable action.

STATE HOUSE, Salem. Or.. Jan. 20.
(Special.) A new state fire mar
