WATCH YOUR STEP Another revolutionary measure to be presented to the people of Oregon at the election this fall, which if passed will more than do its part in disrupt ing financial conditions in our state. The niiasuro is to reduce the Inter est rate to a maximum of five per cent as the legal limit in this state. The mere fact that this bill Is on the ballot will be sufficient to dis courage considerable investment tn Oregon. If It passes, it will, of course have to be repealed, but In the menn. time dan-ige will have been done that will take many years to overcome, o SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN IS HERE .
