NATIONS 11 GLUT
"MARKET, IT IS SAID
Proposed Loan Not Safe
From the Standpoint of
Americans, Says Writer.
REPUDIATION IS FEARED
Against Sattonalaeimdlatlon There Zs
Ho Xemedy, Ee Says; Debts
Climbing Up.
Portland, Sept 18. To the Editor of
The Journal There are several mat
ters involved in the proposed loan. A
nation Is like an individual. The In
dividual's credit Is good If he has a
going business, and his Indebtedness
does not Increase too rapidly and to
such a sum as to imperil his ability
to meet his obligations. If bonds of
Great Britain and France Were floated
In this country without other security
than the promise of the two nations,
such investments, consfdering the tre
mendous Increase in the national debts
of the two nations 6lrice the war be
gan, and the prospect lot a further in
crease before the war is over, would
bo speculative to the list degree.
Great Britain's debt before the war
was over $3,600,000,000, and is double
that sum at the present time. The in--terest
and other charges on this vast
sum before the war was approximately
$120,000,voo per annum, and will be in
all probability something like $300,000,
000, before the war Is over.
English Situation Cited.
English consols (bonus) bearing 2 V4
per cent were 79.31 in 1911. It has
been stated that Great Britain is still
carrying the debt Incurred in the Na
poleonic war. There is little pros
pect that either Great Britain or
Fiance would ever pay any of theas
bonds for money borrowed to carry on
this present war. The only way in
which a holder of such bonds could
secure the cash for such bonds would
be to find a market for them in the
exchanges of the world. That would
be costly in the event that a ready
market could not be found after the
war for such enormous amounts of
bonds as wouid be thrown on the
market.
There is a limit to the amount of
money which a nation can secure by
taxation, and the other horn of the
dilemma Is repudiation. Nations have
repudiated their debts, and the bank
ers of Europe today are seeing visions
of repudiation If this exhausting war
continues much longer. Against na
tional repudiation there Is no remedy
or recourse. The unfortunate holder
of bonds which are repudiated must
take his loss. It is clear that Great
Britain and France cannot pay 4 per
cent or more for such vast sums of j
money as the burden of interest and
charges would be prohibitive, and on j
the other hand if the nations Beek to
float a 2V4 per cent bond it cannot ba I
sold at par or anywhere near par. j
Trance's Debt Soaring. j
The debt of France before the war
was upward of $6,000,000,000, with an- ;
nual and other charges in interest of '
$186,000,000. This debt has been enor
mously increased since the war began,
with a great increase in the interest
charges. French rentes (bonds') bear-
lng 3 per cent interest were quoted at ;
95.61 in 1911. France is a marvelouo ;
country, but there Is a limit to pro- ;
ductive wealth. The people of Franca i
have absorbed millions of dollnrs of ,
French bonds since the war began, but i
with the constantly Increasing burden ;
of interest taxation must increase, and j
the future of French bonds is highly j
speculative. i
There are millions of dollars of j
United States and other bonds of j
United States corporations owned anl
held for investment in France and j
Grat Britain. If the people of France
and Great Britain prefer the bonds or
the United States government and cor
porations of our country to thgir own
government bonds, it seems presump
tuous In English and French financiers
to float or try to float the bonds of
their respective governments when
their own investors refuse to buy the
English and French bonds. ,Tnder all
of these conditions it seems highly
speculative for financiers of this coun
try to underwrite and offer to the
American investing public unsecured
French and English bonds, and it the
commonwealths of this country per
mlt the savings banks of the Unitl
States to Invest in such bonds it will
bn a hazard and speculation not a legi
timate investment..
Threat Hot Convincing,
The covert threat to buy In other
markets if this unsecured bond issue
-1s not taken over by the financial in-
terests of this country is interesting j
if true, but not convincing. Where!
will they get the money to buy their I
food and other supplies in other coun-
tries.
Can Australia finance their' pur- i
chases, can the Argentine or any other ,
South American country finance them, I
or extend them credit? Obviously not. :
These countries could help them to the I
extent of exchanging commodities, but
the balances of trade would be against '
France and Great Britain, and some !
sort of wealth or representative of j
value would have to be furnished the
creditor country.
When reduced to its final analysis, i
an unsecured loan of this kind is in
effect a financing the war for France
and Great Eritain to the extent of
$1,000,000,000. There are Immense
brokerage and underwriting profits in
sight for the flotation and sale of such
a bond issue, but the innocent holder ,
and Investor in uch bonds would hold
the bag and suffer all the loss whicn :
might occur.
Home Development Urged.
This is the first time in the history '
of our nation that we are a creditor 1
In a large way. Instead of being in
toxicated with our good fortune, which
was not of our own seeking, but comes
to us as a nation in a legitimate way,
let us develop our own immense re
sources, our mines, our farms, and if
we do loan money, let it be on good
American securities, instead of highly
speculative bonds of nations well nigh
exhausted economically by war and
facing grave financial troubles after
the war-la over.' This war has broken
all records, economically and financial
ly, and the end is1 not in sight. Ameri- '
can money has helped the starring Tn
Belgium, and helped to equip hospitals
and homes in France for the sick and
injured, but to invite the poor man or
the well to do American to invest his
savings in such bonds would be an
outrage. Thel bonds of the. warring
nations will glut the markets of the ,
world for two decades, if not repudiat- !
ed; and the irability to realise on such
bonds will cause untold misery and
suffering to thousands of innocent
holders. FRANK F. CASSEDAY.

Land Grant
Statehouse, Salem, Or., Sept. 18. Following are the resolution
adopted at the O. & C. land grant conference:
Whereas, The people of the state of Oregon by their representatives,
duly assembled at Salem, Or., September 16 and 17, 1915, have been
brought together by a common inspiration to consider the material welfare
of Oregon made imperative by the rendition of the opinion of the supreme
court of the United States in the case of the Oregon-California Railroad
company et aL vs. the United States, popularly known as the land grant
case, and
Whereas, In said case the supreme court has construed the acts of
congress of the United States, approved July 25, 1866, as amended by the
act approved June 25, 1868, and April 10, 1869, and the act of May 4,
1870, to be not only laws rut enforceable and continuing covenants, and
Whereas, Said acts contain conditions for the sale of the lands granted
thereunder, requiring the said lands to be sold to actual settlers in quanti
ties not greater than 160 acres and for sums not exceeding $2.50 per acre,
and
Whereas, The said conditions plainly imply an obligation upon the
grantees in said grant to sell said lands to actual settlers who comply with
the Conditions of said grant, and bring themselves within the conditions of
said grant as actual settlers, and
Whereas, It is apparent that the grantees in said grant by the accept
ance of said grant plainly agreed to convey the said lands according to the
terms of said grant to such settlers upon the payment of the amount speci
fied in .said grant, and to make such conveyance upon the full performance
of the terms of said grant by said actual settlers, and
Whereas, The supreme court in its opinion of June 15, 1915, held
that congress should have a reasonable opportunity to provide by legislation
for the disposition of said lands in accordance with such policy as it might
deem fitting under the circumstances and at the same time to secure the
defendants, at all times keeping in view the policy which will insure actual
settlement of the lands rather than speculation, and
Whereas, The United States government has heretofore created national
forests within the state of Oregon, occupying approximately one-third of
the area of the state of Oregon, and thereby militating greatly against the
growth nd development of the state of Oregon; therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this conference that the congress of
the United States should enact laws defining and settling who shall be con
sidered an actual settler under the terms of said acts, and what shall be
considered" an actual settlement, and requiring the grantees under said act
to perform the terms and conditions of said act, and sell and dispose of said
lands according to the true intent and purpose of said acts to such actual
settlers, and, be it further
Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to any further increase of
forest reserves in the state of Oregon; and lastly, be it
Resolved, That we urge upon congress the enactment of legislation
which shall provide for the immediate sale of said grant lands in areas of
not greater than 160 acres to any one person and to actual settlers at a
price not in excess of $2.5o per acre, and to provide against all fraud in
the settlement and disposition of said lands.
TEACHERS NOV HAVE
VOICE IN SHAPING OF
POLICY OF SCHOOLS
Advisory Council Organized
With Two Instructors From
Each Grade,
An advisory council of grade teach
ers, to, consult with the superintendent
on matters relating to the improve
ment of the Portland school system, is
the latest organization to be launched
for the benefit of the city schools.
At a meeting of grade teachers at
the Lincoln high school Friday after
noon, two teachers from each grade
were selected to form the advisory
council, which was organized at the
suggestion of Superintendent Alder
man. It will serve as a spokesman
for the gTade teachers in presenting
tj the superintendent any suggestions
they may have. It also exemplifies the
spirit of cooperation that is being man
ifested in the Portland schools.
The members of the advisory council
are as follows:
First grade Eva Rice, Failing
school; Rozene Epple, Eliot school;
Second grade Anna Bowie, Arleta
school; Jean Brownlie, Woodstock
school.
Third grade Lilah Rogers, Holladay
school; Mrs. N". C McAdam, Buckman
school.
Fourth grade Elsie Schmeer, Sunny
side school; Incy Baker, Kenton school.
Fifth grad E. Kalherine Graves,
Thompson school; Madge Hill, Failing
school.
Sixth grade Estella Hickey, Arleta
school; Abble Wright, Sunnyside
school.
Seventh grade Harriet Monroe,
Hawthorne school; Mrs. Emma Bland
ford, Creston school.
' Eighth grade Nellie Washburne,
Shattuck school; Jennie Limbocker,
Ladd school.
Ninth grade May I. Rathbun, Sun
nyside school; Emma Whitney, Eliot,
school.
OFFICIALS OF
STATE TO MEET
RAILROAD MEN
(Continued From Tage One.)
lng through their program, securing
what they had from the beginning
sought, but at one time feared would
fail They were aided also by the
half hope held out by P. F. Dunne, at
torney for the railroad interests, who
in the end secured what he told the
delegates the raiiroad wanted.
No record votes were taken, but thera
was no doubt as the decisive majori
ties cast for both ends of tfie bargain
Under the motion calling for a confer
ence with the railroad, which was put
forward by former State Senator L. E.
Bean of Eugene, the representatives of
the state are to be Governor Withy
combe, Secretary of State Benson,
Treasurer Kay, Chairman W. I. Vaw
ter of the conference, and three mem
bers named by Mr. Vawter.
The chairman had his appointments
ready and announced them as soon as
the vote was taken. They are former
Senator Bean, proponent of the motion;
State Senator Sam L. Garland of Linn
county, and C. E. Spence, a leader of
the state grange.
Oratory Precedes Pinal Vote.
Prior to the taking of the final votea
there was a season of fervid oratory
In which 10 minute speeclfea were the
rule. When the resolutions were put
through the Bean motion came on for
debate and a vigorous but hopeless on
slaught upon it was led by State Sen
ator W. A. Dimick of Clackamas coun
ty. Enough opposition was manifested,
however, to cause charges of bad faith
to be entered by leaders of the com
bination. State Treasurer Kay was es
pecially bitter in arraigning those who
might refuse to swallow the railroad
conference resolution, former State
fcenator E. W. Haines of Forest Grove
and Secretary . C. Chapman; being
likewise severe in demanding ratifica
tion of the deal.
The part of the resolutions arous
ing most opposition was tbe last
paragraph, urging congress to pro
vide for immediate sale of the land
grant in quantities not greater than
160 acres and at not more than $2.50
an acre.
Several speakers declared this was
inconsistent with other parts of the
resolution attacking land speculation,
because settlement in this manner
will lead to a speculative rush and to
acquisition of the lands by large tim
ber and corporate Interests, after the
Resolutions
speculators and early entrymen had
reaped their harvest.
State Benefits Opposed.
All the way through, the conference
was strongly set against giving any
heed to any plan that would turn over
excess proceeds from the sale of
valuable timber for the benefit of
the irreducible school fund of the
state of Oregon, or for any other of
the suggested Ideas for state benefit,
such as irrigation, or the creation of
a loan fund to aid settlers upon the
lands. It was decreed by the leaders
that all such plans should be dubbed
"theories" and "impossibilities."
The last efl'ort for the action that
would return beneiits to the state of
Oregon was made in the form of an
amendment to the resolutions proposed
by C. Schuebel of Oregon City, which
proposed to male Oregon trustee for
sale of the agricultural lands at S-'.'jO
an iirre and for the sale of timber
land at reasonable value, the proceeds
in excess of $2.60 an acre to po to the
f-chool fund and be made available for
loans to settlers upon the land.
The schuebel amendment went on
its faltering way with only an occas
ional speaker in its favor, and was
voted down by a larne majority, no
division being demanded .
Conference With Railroad Next More.
As the matter now stands, the next j
proceeding will be to confer with rep-1
resentatives of the Southern Pacific to1
obtain some tangible idea of the basts
upon which the railroad company
Ttouirt re willing to 1ft go or Its hold
onjhe lands and refrain from the con -
tinued litigation it now threatens.
Dunne, the Southern Pacific attor-
ney, laid down the law to the confer-
ence on several occasions, but he per-
sistently avoided nny close definition
of the demands of the raiiroad in what
he termed an "'equitable settlement."
Pressed vesterdav afternoon to make
himself more' clear, he said it would
be indelicate on hi part to Indicate
what the railroad wants. The plan
ehonld come from the state, he said.
"I have not formulated any plan,"
he said. "I have averted my mind
from consideration of the details of a
plan. If a plan comlnsr from the rail
road were to become common knowl
edge, it would meet with misunder
standing and misinterpretation. My
lda is that this conferpnee should
name a 'committee to sit down with a
coipmittee from the railroad and con
sider their respective eiuitje, line two
e-entlemen. We want the plan to come
from you, and we will go Half wav to
meet It." j
Would Have Secret Conference. I
It was inferred from Mr. Dunne's I
remark that the railroad will insist.'
upon the proceedings of the conferees
being secret, to avoid mtsrepresenta-
tion. It was also plainlv to be in-
ferred that the railroad will not con- '
sider any plan based upon the assump- i
tlon that the railroad can ever be com- i
pelled to dirose of the land Rrant !
lands, or that it will consider anything!
less than taking unto Itsflf all thel
timber and the stone now on the land, i
This, it is inferred from what Mr.
Dunne said, will be the basis from
which the railroad will start to
'negotiate." leaving in the field, on
which the railroad may be disposed to
make "concessions," its so-called
equitable interests, such as its plea
that it should be compensated in some
way for free transportation to govern
mfit troops and munitions to the ex
tent of $2,500,000.

other session of the land grant con-

GRANGE ANIV CLUBS
TO PROTEST USE OF
"UNSAFE" SCHOOLS
Woodlawn and Portsmouth
Improvement Organiza
tions Meet With Grange,
BOARD RULING IS THEME
Civic Center Idea, As Interpreted BJ
rlrs Department and School Board,
Discussed Ey Official.
Delegations from the Woodlawn Im
provement club and the Portsmouth
Improvement club will meet tonight
with the Woodlawn grange at Green's
hall to discuss the use of school houses
for public gatherings. The meeting
will be in the nature of a protest
against the use of the assembly rooms
In the various school houses by the
school children when the fire depart
ment and school board consider it un
safe for public gatherings of adults
in these rooms.
A law enacted by the last legislative
assembly provides that all school
houses shall be civic centers, but
leaves it to the discretion of the
school board to refuse the use of
echool houses if the board deems such
action wise.
Use of the Vernon, Portsmouth and
other school buildings has been denied
by the school board after obtaining a
report to Fire Marshal Jay Stevens
that it would not be safe to permit
a crowd In the school assembly halls
where the seats are not fastened down
and the exits are not deemed adequate
means of escape in case of fire.
Mrs. Josephine It. Sharp. Mrs.
Thomas O. Green and other women are
making a protest against the use of
the buildings by the children if the
buildings are not safe for grownups.
Tots Trained Says Thomas.
School Clerk Thomas says the
school board takes the view that the
buildings are safe for the children, as
they are well trained in getting out
of the building In the event of acci
dent, while he said the grownups who
are unfamiliar with the building would
be much more likely to become panic
stricken and confused.
The high schools and the new Oouch
and Shattuck schools are the only
6chool buildings in the city which
have auditoriums that will be ap
proved for public gatherings.
It is explained at the school clerk's
office that small gatherings, such as
the parent-teacher meetings where not
more than 40 Or- 60 persons are pres
ent, may be held as usual, but the
auditoriums cannot be used for public
entertainments and large gatherings.
Fire Marshal Stevens has submitted
recommendations to the school board
that panic bolts be placed on all as
sembly hall doors, that lights be
placed at the exits, that the seats be
fastened to the floor, that seating
capacity be limited, that automatic
sprinklers be placed in all basements,
that all doors open out, that there be
direct exits to grade, that oil burners
be removed from all frame school
houses.
Schools Comply With HrUea.
Clerk Thomas said all the doors do
open out, that all boiler rooms are
i equipped
with automatic sprinklers
; and the only frame building which has
i an oil burner Is the Eliot school,
j He eaid if the seats were fastened
) to the floor the room would be
j spoiled for gymnasium purposes. The
j other rerommendations, he said. he
considered good, but he did not expect
the school board to take any action on
i them,

Terrific battle rages along western

rivers Oise and Meuse, where ths al
lies are attempting to do three things
first, dislodge the Germans from the
heights of the Aisne; second, to break
through the German center held by
the Fourth and Fifth armies, and third,
to outflank the German right wing- held
by von Kluck.
Germans change their war plan,
planning to hold the newly assumed
line in the western front In order to
have time and forces with which to
begin great Russian campaign.
Russians capture Sandoinlr from
