The Oregonian declared that "Republicans will put the knife to any or

Continually and constantly, this sort of thing ie going on. The Port

A Solution Proposed.
Oswego, Or., May 27. To the Editor
of The Journal Not being a citiren,
I do not vote, and can honestly say I
do not want to. From an impartial
point of view, politics as practiced
here, appears to have been promotea
by the late Mr. Barnum.
Here in Oregon the atmosphere has
been full of discussions recently ad
to what to do about the water power
sites of the state. Many were for con
serving them for the state or nation,
but others werA for letting the power
companies lease them.
Then you have the O. & C land
grant proposition. This offered the
state a possible SO,OUO,000 in real
cash. Having squandered all the
previous resources of the state, the
only thing they can think of to do
with this new windfall is to make
good on their earlier mistakes, schools
and roads. Heaven knows these are
both worthy causes, but I should like
to see what a business-like organiza
tion would do with a prospect like
this.
One country I could mention, and
not mine either, would certainly not
let "politicians" Handle an affair of
such magnitude. Twenty years from
now the people of this state will begin
to realize possibly what this means,
when the roads they have built are
wearing out and taxes are being raised
to pay for the repairs, no Investment
having been made to cover deprecia
tion,

possible and convenient to alternate

pointing to the American flag entirely
ignores Americans of English blood in
the glory that surrounds It. England
has ruined my motherland, but Eng
land ls not all bad Englisnmen. In my
hate of tory England I am not blind to
the virtues of liberal England. Sons
of rebel Englishmen struck off the
constitution of these United States,
fought and died for our liberties, and
their names and deeds are writ large In
our country's history. I do not hate
these men. John Redmo'nd taught me
never to lie, for you can't lie truth
out of court. The battle of Saratoga
was the deciding factor in American
independence. One half of the British
army at that battle was of hireling
Germans commanded by a German
general. The French fleet and French
generals and French valor did their
share tn freeing our country in the
American revolution, as did the Rus
sian fleet in 1864 help to keep this
union one and indissoluble. Tell the
truth and shame the devil. Ireland
will get home rule, but only with John
Redmond s policy in the fore. The
American Sinn Feiners have done their
worst to destroy it.

doublo the state's present loaning busi
ness, a notable Impetus would be given
to agricultural development. Later, if
the plan worked out with entire satis
faction, the fields of activity could be
broadened.
"Enlargement of the work of the
state land board by increasing Its loan
ing capacity will create practically no
additional cost. The state already has
a-gplendid organization and equipment
ana it ls estimated that the actual cost
of supervising the loaning of $12,000,-

$6,000,000, as the overhead expenses re
main practically identical.
"Each county has at present a spe
cial agent of the state land board,'
through whose hands pass all matters
pertaining to loans in his territory.
The loans are made for one year with
the privilege of running for 10 years,
without renewal. The borrower pays
the land board agents a fee of 1 per
cent of the loan, which therefore
amounts to one-tenth, of 1 per cent
per annum, if the 10 year period Is
taken advantage of. The .cost' of the
detailed outside work, therefore, would
be no greater to the state than it is
now, no matter how much its volume

for the office administration is now
