With springs In abyssos profound.

And lightens the earth's woary round,

MULTNOMAH County Pomona
Gnuigo at Qrosham, Or., has
passed resolutions favoring a rural
credit system for farmers that will

ot interest. Tho grange Inaugurated
what It Is hoped will bo a stato-wldo
National campaign tor this system.
Tho Hist set of resolutions, Intro
duced by W, II. II. Dutur, provides
that tho statu shall Issue non-lntereat
bearing bonds to tho general Gov
ernment, which shall loan to tho
farmora tho cash represented by tlicso
bonds at not moro then 3 per cent
Interest to run 5, 10, IS, 20, 25 or
CO years. Tho money would bo
lonnod on tho HO per cent valuation
ot farm property, aud tho stato would
handle the money through a laud
office
Tho second plan, indorsed by tho
Masters' and Lecturers' Association,
makes tho postal saving fund tho
sourco ot supplying farmora with
long-time loans at 4 por cent. Accord
ing to this plan, the postal saving
fund shall bo loaned to tbo farmors
ot tho country. To accumulate a
sufficient sum, tho doposlt, now lim
ited to $100, shall bo increased to
$1000. This plan proposes that tho
money shall bo loaned through tho
laud office
I Since both plans will rcqulro Con
lercsslouu'l action the G fun go declared
It would not support candidates for
Congress unless thoy plod go them
selves to support soma rural credit
Bystom. Representatives to tho State
Grango from Multnomah County will

tions. Tho measures woro discussed by W.
