ARE NAMED
Students ot rural , credit legislation
have been Interested and somewhat
amused, at the solution of tne rural
creatia nroniem out forth rv Governor
AVtthvrifmhA In hAm uAtr nn rural
credits at Oregon City last Saturday.
as a aar ana simple plan. Those who
hava 'looked Into 'the rronositlon. nut
forth by, the aovernor. as given in the
newspaper reports of his address, say
that his (reasoning i based upon a fal
lacy and that his nlau would not be
financed by banking men.
x Brief statement of Plan.
briefly stated the governor con
tended at Oregon City that the irre
ducible . school fund could be utilized
as. the basin for a $ 11,000,000 fund to
be loaned to farmers at 5 per cent.
There ,1a; in round numbers, $4,000,000
Jd the school fund. This sum Is
loaned on farm land at 8 per cent per
annum and flrjt mortgage security is
taken back by the state land board, no
loan being made on land not worth at
least three times the face of the loan.
The governor pointed out that with
the $8,000,000 loaned, the state has In
the possession of the state treasurer
first mortgage securities of the face
value of $6, 800, 000 hut covering prop
erty worth not less then J18,000,00. so
that thre were, In effect, collateral se
curities of at lea: $12,000,000 lying
idle in the vaults.
Would Borrow on Margin.
The plan proposed by hlni was 'to
borrow $6,000,000 on this J12.000.J00 of
margin, at 4 per cent per annum, and.
in turn .loan the $6,000,000 thus bor
rowed to farmers at 5 per cent.
: The state now loans its school fund
t 6 per cent, which gives an annual
income on the $6,000,004 of $360,000.
According to the governor's plan, the
$6,000,000 In the school fund would be
loaned at 6 per nent, which would bring
in an annual Income of $300,000. while
the $6,000,000 borrowed at four per
ent and loaned at five would yield a
net income of $60,000. thus making the
total income from the $12,000,000
oaned the same Is Is now received
from the present fund. In this way the
s.tate would receive the a:e Income
Or the schools and the farmers would
he able to borrow double the amount at
per cent less Interest.
Weakness of Scheme Shown.
While the scheme looks aood at first
glance, it la pointed out that the state
does not own $18,000,000 of collateral
security. The face of the mortgages
otal no more than the loans, or 16,-
OOQ.000, and while they cover prop
erty: Worth $18,000,000, the $12,000,000
lof ejfoess value represents the borrow
er' ,eyUyJW th lands, which he could
tout under second mortgages or en- t
umber with tares or other Hens. In
kther words, as an observer remarked,
'the state could not float a loan on , . .
property, the title of which is vested , I r 1 CJ h K OTTf 111 tl fitll OT .
n a large number of private lndl- i akjjj. avu uiuuiumow
Mduals."
It is believed that the aovernor. in
thinking out his plan, overlooked the
nortgatOr's equity in the $12,000,000 of
;xcss valuation represented by the
and mortgaged to the state, and forgot
hat the state could not control, except
inder foreclosure, more than the face
bf its loans.'

of the applause which greeted par

more enthusiasm, the gray haired vet

on foot or carried In automobiles, or
the youngsters composing the drum

erans. Both, tha saviors, of tb coun

with generous salvo of handclapping.

Afterwards, at the German House,
Thirteenth, and Main streets, Charles
G. Burton, past commander In chief of
the G. A, R., who la now a resident of
Portland, aroused a large audience to
height of enthusiasm by a atlrrlng
patrlotlo address In which ha reviewed
the glorious past of the United States
and urged adequate preparation for na
tional defense. At the conclusion of
his talk many people crowded on the
platform-to extend him their personal
thanks.
The rest of tha program at the Ger
man House was mad up of patriotic
musical selections and ma reciting of
Lincoln's famous Gettysburg address
by Elmer Lundbarg, of the United
Spanish War Veterans. The meeting
closed with the singing of America
and th sounding of "taps'' by Bugler
Smith.
