HANDICAP FOR POOR NOTED
I.tibln System of Community Co-operation,
Explained as Going on
Vour Neighbor's Hole, Is Con
demned as Impractical.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis. Jan. 15. (Special.) At the
conference on rural credits, during
Farmers' week, the rural credit system,
embodie J in the paper of Elwood Mead,
professor of rural institutions of the
University of California, with its de
pendence on state M and state super
vision, was the principal theme of dis
cussion, which was favorable to all es
sentials of the plan. Long-time loans
at low rate of interest, secured by
state authority, with amortized pay
ments, were the principal features of
the plan.
J Dr. Macpherson, who presided, out
lined the chief plans for a system of
rural credits that were advocated at
the Chicago conferences.
Dr. Macpherson also referred to Sen
ator Day's plan, which was adopted by
the Portland Irrigation Congress, as
depending- on state aid, like the Mead
plan.
Clearing; Cost Cited.
Some of the essential points of Pro
fessor Mead's paper were as follows:
The most important question connected
with the rural development of the Pa
cific Coast region is how to maintain
the balance between city and country
life. Economic changes in recent years
make it impossible for a farmer to do
today what he could have done a gen
eration ago clear and improve a 160
acre farm on a capital of 11000 to
J 2000. There are few places in the
West where improved farms can be
bought or raw public land brought into
cultivation for less than $100 an acre.
Necessary Improvements to make the
property a going concern are greater
than most tettlers are able to meet.
Tet these should be made immediately.
If a farm can be made productive, and
especially if a settler can have time
enough in which to earn the money,
he nearly always succeeds.
The absence of adequate credit fa
cilities, continued Mr. Mead, is an eco
nomic wrong; to the settler. To the
beginner in a new country, who wastes
money and effort through ignorance
of local conditions and correct methods
of work, especially in irrigated re
gions, the absence of organized over
sight of settlement is another economic
wrong. Under present conditions in
California many settlers are stranded
for lack of funds to start right: the
few who are able to borrow money do
so at exorbitant rates of interest,
under restrictions so drastic that they
usually spell ultimate ruin.
Farmers View Given.
C. E. Spence, master of the State
Grange, spoke of the shortcomings of
our present financial system, so far
as the farmer is concerned, declaring
that when loans are most needed the
stringency of the , money market is
greatest.
J. D. Brown, president of the Ore
gon Farmers' Union, also expressed his
faith in a state system, like that ad
vocated by Mr. Mead.
Professor Young, of the University
of Oregon, spoke of the Lublin sys
tem as "going your neighbor's note,"
and expressed the belief that a state
system should succeed better in a new
country like ours. "The state of Ore
gon," he said, "has good credit and
good resources."
Professor Macpherson called atten
tion to the state school fund, loaned on
first-mortgage farm loans at 6 per
cent, as evidence that the state of Ore
gon already has the beginning of a
rural credit system capable of being
made adequate for all purposes. To
place the $6,000,000 of farm securities
now in the vaults of the State Treasury
In a trust company where they could
be loaned at four and a half per cent
interest, would, he declared, be the
shortest, most direct, and most sensible
ttep toward an efficient rural credit
system for Oregon.

Congress Evinces Growing De
sire to Know How Affairs
Are Being Managed.
DEFIANCE, OF LAW IRKS
Sir. Dill, of Washington, Proposes
Appointment of Commission to
Recommend New System of
Caring for Wards.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 15. There appears to be a
growing desire in Congress to know
positively whether the Indian Service
is being grossly mismanaged. For two
years Senator Lane, of Oregon, as a
member of the Indian affairs commit
tee, has been hammering away on the
Indian Bureau, contending that it is
not only inefficient, but lax in its ad
ministration, and that it Is honey
combed with officials who are incom
petent, if they are not worse.
Now comes Representative Dill, of
Washington, a Democrat, like Senator
Lane, Insisting that the Indian service
needs overhauling, and thus far there
have been half a dozen resolutions in
troduced in Congress proposing to
create commissions, as does Mr. Dill, to
investigate the Indian administration.
It is noteworthy that the Indian
Service, as conducted by Cato Sells,
has given rise to much complaint
from Western Senators and Repre
sentatives, and the most severe criti
cism comes from Democrats. There is
no politics in this criticism, but it Is
true that much of it Is aimed at the
nresent Commissioner.
To find out what is what In Indian
affairs. Mr. Dill proposes that the
President shall appoint a commission
of three members, at salaries of $15 a
day while at work; this commissin to
make a thorough investigation, doiu
of the Indian Bureau in Washington
and of the Indian Service in the field
and report to Congress within one year
their findings, and also to recommena
a new system of handling Indian at'
fairs.
Mr. Dill was moved to make this step
because of his experience with com
missioner Sells in connection with the
opening of the Colville reservation. In
that matter Commissioner Sells re
fuses flatly to carry out an act of
Congress, and the strongest influence
the Washington delegation has been
able to bring to bear has not jarrea
him from his position. That one inci
dent led Mr. Dill to make inquiry, and
he learned that Commissioner Sells is
as stubbornly refusing to carry out
other laws nassed by congress airect
ing Iudians and their reservations in
other states. . It is Mr. Dill's idea, as it
is Senator Lane's idea, that Congress
has a right to expect its enactments to
be carried out by the executive branch
of the Government, and the defiance of
Congress by Commissioner Sells prom
ises to get the Commissioner into hot
water.

strawberry situation, which is causing
growers here much concern, Mr. Des
granges said:
"The growers in this early district
must get together and market their
strawberries through one channel
