Dowty, a Clackamas county fanner who was In Portland today. Mr. Dowty owns a farm near Barton. Before President Wilson took from the money barons of Wall- street the power to bring; about financial panics, the fanners were ths first to be hard pressed and compelled to pay exor bitant Interest rates when the money lords began to call la their money, Mr. Dowty pointed out. . At best, he said, the farmers have been required to pay higher interest rates than almost any other borrower. "The panics have been made impos sible by the federal reserve banking law," said Mr.' Dowty, "and as soon as the farm land banks are put Into operation the farmers will be able to borrow money as cheaply as anyone else. No one but a farmer can fully appreciate what it will mean to be able to get -money at 4 to t per cent. - "I remember in 1889 I was farming at Smith's Center. Kan., and needed some money with which to handle my crops. I went to the bank and was told I could borrow some money at 12 per cent a month Interest. "When I lived in Kansas the bulls of the money that was loaned to farm ers came from London, England, and the farmers were paying 9 per cent interest for It. Conditions have sji proved there since then, but they will be better still when the new rural credits law in put Into operation. "Farmers in Oregon are now pay ing 8 to 10 per cent for short time loans, and for long time loans we have to pay 8 per cent. "The benefits that will come to the farmers from President Wilson's ad ministration are enough to convince me that he ought to be kept In the White House." CANDIDATE DANA SPEAKS County Clerk Aspirant Addressee the Litbor Council. "The office of the county clerk may be made one of the most powerful agencies for good or evil In the county," de clared Marshall N. Dana, candidate for county clerk, in a talk before the Cen tral Labor council last night. "No other office lends itself so well to the building up of a political ma- chine if directed by a group whose first thought is to serve selfish schemes and Interests. "The office of county clerk handles Juries more than 1300 jury cases (have been tried in the past three years and the utmost fairness only can in sure justice to litigants. "The county clerk's office handles registration, appoints the hundreds of Judges and clerks of election, records the uncounted deeds and other docu ments of record and in every branch is needed an efficient, non-political ad ministration by a county clerk and deputies chosen because they can do their work responsibly and capably."

Winters, Is charged with gross malad ministration in a petition which has been filed In the county court by number of heirs who ask for an ac counting and surrender of real prop erty. Mr. Winters died June 20, 1911, and on the following day Mrs. Hecker, then Agnes Butts, was appointed adminis tratrix. Though more than five years have elapsed since her appointment, It is alleged that she has not yet filed her final report and accounting, refus ing to close the estate, the petitioners charge, because of the loss of revenue to herself. The heirs signing tine petition are Thomas J. Winters, Polly Forbes, Paul- lne A. Jennings, Anna M. Dillon and A, C. Winters. They protest against th allowance to the administratrix of $100 per month extra compensation for her services and an attorney's fee of $16,000.
