HAWLEY URGES
TEN-YEAR BOND
IN CREDITS BILL
(Contlnned From Ptjs One)
public. He was keenly disappointed
that the house refused to make 10
years the minimum time in which the
bonds may be called in after issue, in
stead of the five years fixed in tho
house bill.
Advantage of long Term.
"I believe this will make a differ
ence of one half of l per cent In the
Interest rate secured by th farmer,"
he says. "A $1000 bond running for
10 years will command about $2 more
in 4he market than a five year bond.
That difference In the sale price of
the bond should be used to reduce the
interest rate. With the five year pro
vision a rate of 4ft per cent will be
required, where 4 per cent could be
obtained on a 10 year bond.
"Th five year bond was urged on
the- theory that tha minimum term of
tne Dona snouid correspond to the
minimum time in which the bor
rower may pay off part or all
of his loan. This Is not a good
reason. Before the first fiv years
are up, the system' should be estab
lished firmly enough ao take care of
all such matters. In the natural order
of things tha loans paid off in one
place will be offset by. new loans else
where, and there will be no necessity
for retiring the bonds in such a short
period.
Included la Senate BUI.-
"From tha informatlnm T hiva T am
Irclined to think the conference com-1
mtttee will report In favor of the 10
year bond. The senate bill carries that
provision, and I thtnk the house con
ferees will accept It, despite- the fact
that In committee of the whole tha
house rejected the amendment, I urged
upon the subject.'
Mr. Hawley Is of tha opinion that
the rural credits plan will be found of
substanltal benefit and use in tha
middle western agricultural states.
despite tha statements of McKlnley of
Illinois, ureen ana Steele of Iowa and
others from that section that tha hill
will be of no benefit there, because
rarmers can now obtain money tt o

"It may be true that a large number
of borrowers do obtain loans on com
paratively low terms," ha said, "but It
Is also true that large numbers of

vorable loans, or get them at all. I

oppressive weight of growing local
censorships."
He dedai es that the federal board
will carry the weight of leadership and
there will be a lessening tendency for
harrowing local restrictions. If such
legislation Is not passed, he predicts,
the leading film makers will be back
at the next session themselves asking
for a bill of this kind.
The bill reported provides for a board
of three, with an unnamed number of
deputies, the latter possessing the
power of license. Every' film destined
for pasage over a state line mast be
licensed, unless found objectlnoable be
cause Immoral, tending to corrupt mor
als or Inciting to crime. Reproductions
of prizefights or bullfights are specifi
cally prohibited.
Branch offices of the board may be
established where convenient, an appeal
being allowed to the full commission
and then to the court of appeals for
the District of Columbia. Pictured
may be specially licensed for produc
tion before audiences composed of per
sons over 18 years af age.
"News films," ; depleting current
events, may be granted specjal permit
to be shown as soon as manufactured,
such permit to be withdrawn it the
privilege is found to be abused by ex
hibition of improper pictures.
Fees are fixed at $2 for 1009 feet
of film for originals and 60, cents for
duplicates. It Is estimated that 200
such films are produced' each week tn
the United States, and an average of
55 duplicates made of each original.
The fees will therefore produce
$20,800 a year from originals and
$120,000 from duplicates, a total of
$150,800. The board is juthorired to
reduce these fees after six months,
with the object of making the amount
collected In fees no more than enough
to provide for the expenses cf the
censorship.

Coco Cola Loses
In Supreme Court
Washington, May 2C. (I. N. S.)
Tha United States supreme court to
day reversed the decision of the
United States circuit court of appeals
in the long controversy as to whether
coco-cola comes under the ban of the
federal pure food law. The decision
is a victory for tha government.
The government Brought a libel In
the United States district court of
Tennessee under the pure fodd act to
condemn 40 barrels and 20 kegs of
coca-cola shipped from Atlanta. Ga..
to Chattanooga Tenn., on the ground
that it was adulterated and mis-
branded.
The charge or adulteration was
based on the . fact that coca-cola.
which Is a soda fountain syrup dr
base for soft drinks, contains caffeine;
it waa contended that caffeine is In
jurious to the health of children and
nervous persons, many of whom drink
coca-cola.
The charge of misbranding wai
based on the fact that while there
are two such substances having trade
names as coca and cola, coca-cola
practically contains neither "coca nor
cola. These articles are present in
coca-cola in the ratio of one part to
37,000 parts of the drink. Evidence
showed that there was not enough
coca or cola present to affect either
the odor or, the flavor.

WOULD LET TEXTS REMAIN
Unslghtliness Only Objection, It Is
Declared.
Unslghtliness la the only objection
to a colony of tent houses on Heights
Terrace, Portland Heights, according
to a report to be submitted to the
council by City Commissioner Dieck.
Protests have been received by the
council from a large delegation of
Heights residents headed by Tom
Richardson, because Mrs. O. A. Wells
erected seven tent houses on Heights
Terrace at the head, of Sixteenth
street. FivOv of them have been
rented.
City Building Inspector Plummer
finds that all provisions of the build
ing, plymbing and electrical codes
have been complied with and says that
although the houses project into Six
teenth street, inasmuch as the street
is - useless for traffic, 'there Is no
reason for disturbing the tents.
The time' will come, he says, when
districts for different types of build
ings will be necessary in Portland,
but this time Is still far away.
Underground Service Wanted.
Commissioner Daly will introduce
an ordinance Wednesday which, if
passed, will do away with 'overhead
electric wires and cables In a large
portion of the business east side
after June 1. 1917. It Is intended that
poles carrying these wires shall give
way to underground conduits.

WOMAN TELL ?
Occasionally there is found a man who, when he loyes and is beloved
looks only at the present and future, never into the past. If there has been
a dark chapter in the woman's life, it makes no' difference to him. ' ' ,
But more there are who must believe that (here has been no one else'
whose jealousy reaches back into every year that has gone before. , Because
of such men, women tell lies. They conceal a misstep, rather" than risk; the'
loss of the man's love. . ; C - . ;
