A review of 1 1 A ; AVHrll III the report of the state treasurer for III UinLU flUllLU IU the biennial period ending September Selinq.aents Proportionately small and More In County of Solon Than Anywhere Else in Oregon. Salem. Or., Jan. 19. In support of his bill creating the office of superin tendent of farm loans and providing other machinery for carrying into ef fect the rural credits amendment to the state constitution, Senator Shanks has quoted 'figures intended to show that the state treasurer has been derel ict in the collection of Interest on the J6, 000,000 school fund which is now loaned to farmers by the state land board. Citation to the school fund loans is msde because the organizations which Initialed the rural credits amendment end the state board have agreed on the terms of a rural credits bill which will provide for handling the rural credits fund in the same manner as the school fund is now loaned. State Treasurer Kay has replied to Senator Shanks by declaring it is not the policy of the state board to col lect Interest on the school fund loans more often than once a year, although the law says the Interest shall be due semi-annually. Mr. Kay says It would work hardship on farmers to collect Interest semi-annually. Delinquent Interest Is Small. Out of 6000 school fund notes only S20 have delinquent Interest, says Mr Kay who declares this a better show ing than can be made by any bank, lie pointed out that six years ago, when he entered office, more school fund loans were outstanding in Oil 11am county, which is Senator Shank's home county, than in any other county in the state. At that time Jay Bower- man, who was associated with Shanks was the attorney in that county for the state land board and made the loans. "We have today 35 delinquent notes In Gilliam county," said Mr. Kay, "This is more than in any other county in the state. The next highest number in one county is 24. Five foreclosure suits are pending In Gilliam county, W have had more trouble with the Gilliam county loans than in any other county. And the fact that Senator Shanks who was an applicant for ap polntment as attorney for the state land board did not succeed Jay Bower man may have something to do with his attack on me at this time.' Statement by Senator Shanks. Senator Shanks, in his statement, says: "It is a matter of common knowledge that the interest on a goodly portion of the school fund i permitted to become delinquent and to remain delinquent for a considerable SO. 1916, shows that interest had not been paid on $8100 of the fund for more than four years; that Interest had not ben paid on $39,900 for a period of more than three years; on $132,611.17 for a period of more than two years; on the sum of $514,713.81 for a period of more than one year and on the enormous sum of $2,870,618.29 interest was delinquent all the way from one day to six months: The re port of the same official for the bien nial period ending September 30, 1914, shows practically a like condition. Integrity Is Hot Questioned. "I want It distinctly understood that I am not questioning the integrity of the members of the state land board, but simply showing tn condition of these school loans as a reason why the rural credits fund should have a su perintendent whose sole duty it is to look after the important matter of keeping the interest on the loans paid promptly." Senator Shanks -says If the Interest on rural credits loans Is not collected promptly it will be impossible for the board to meet the interest on the rural credits bonds which are to be issued. Mr, Kay says a leeway of 1 per ceni is provided ror. whlcn -will more than meet any tardiness Jn collection of interest on farm loans. EXPLAIN THEIR STAND ON THE STRIKE LAW C. English. O. M.

Municipal Judge Langguth of Portland and Sher iff Hurlburt of Multnomah county ap peared before the Multnomah legisla tive delegation last night In response to a summons from the delegation to appear and explain why section 2176 of Lord's Oregon Laws, prohibiting violence In connection with strikes and picketing, is not being enforced in Portland. They were summoned, along with District Attorney Evans and Mayor Albee of Portland, as the result of a happy thought on the part of the mem bers of the Multnomah delegation, who do not favor a drastic anti-picketing and antl-bannering bill which has been put up to them for enactment by the Employers' association ol Oregon. They told the delegaticn there was law enough on the statute books now to cope with any violence that may occur or be attempted in connection with the strikes In connection with the shipbuilding industry in Portland or any other industry. They denied that any complaints had been made to them. Evans Bends Compliments. District Attorney Evans did not re spond to the summons, but sent a let ter to Chairman D. C. Lewis to refer Senator Gus Moser, who made the mo tion to put it up to the county and city officials as to why the laws are not enforced in Portland, to the re mark of Governor Pennoyer in his con troversy with the late Grover Cleve- and. The remark was: "You attend to your business and I will attend to mine." Mayor Albee replied he considered the letter from Chairman Lewis an in sult. E. J. Stack, secretary of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, was pres ent and invited to speak. He spoke in defense of bannering and picketing. In time of strikes. "There is a big lobby here," said Mr. Stack. "Those lobbyists are pick ets and you men have to run the gauntlet every time you pass fronton house to the other." Thomas McCusker, secretary of the Employers' association, quizzed Judge Langguth and Sheriff Hurlburt. Telegram Is Bead. C. C. Chapman of the Oregon Voter read a telegram signed by B. C. Ball, E. Ij. Thompson, A. H. Avertll, D. A. Pattullo, John Tait, R. D. Fontana. M. Goodman, Adolphe Wolfe, Leo Friede, Max Hirsch, C. W. Hodson, A. C. Labbe, J. H. Corcoran. I. X. Fleisch ner, Emery Olm&tead, H. K. Kiln am, J. quizzing the municipal judge. McCua- ; ker refused to take the lead, but soon 1 began firing questions after the ball I was started. I Senator Huston told Judge Langguth that members of the delegation had ( been Informed that he and other of ' f icials in Portland had said there was ' no law under which they could control strikers and prevent violence, or otber- wise the officials were failing to en ! force the law. "I have never had a conversation I with anybody In which I said we did not have law enough to handle any situation," replied Langguth. "We have no strike trouble that I know of, and the section of law referred to has never been brought to my attention." i Mr. McCusker declared that at the ! time of the longshoremen's strike last j year. District Attorney Evans had ad vised them that there was no law. to prevent picketing and he recalled that Judge Langguth had released 17 men who were arrested in connection with that labor trouble Ho Question ef Law. "No question of law was raised. It was a question of evidence," replied Langguth. who continued that he knew of no city ordinance against picketing or bannering, but that anyone could be arrested for violence and the dis orderly conduct ordinance will reach most any offense, he sarfd. Representative ICubli declared that when 300 or 400 men followed a train down Fourth street, yelling at other men on the train. It certainly was dis orderly conduct. "Were any arrests made?" asked Kubli. "None came into my court," replied Lancrauth. "There is no violence in Portland in connection with strike 1 1 v I ' V -1 ! lfc4 Vim i I 0 r l Linton It. Davies.

I know there is no strike, except as 1 see It in the newspapers." Hever Eeaxd of It. "We have been told," said Senator John Gill, "that peaceful men going to work at the Willamette Tron Works have been completely surrounded by strikers and were made to force their way out." 'Never heard of such a thing," said Langguth. "Have you made any effort to find out?" asked Gill. "That Is for the police." replied the judge. "I have nothing to do with the duties of the police."

Senator Moser read the section of the present law prohibiting violence in connection with picketing and asked 'if any employers with strikes on their hands had asked him to make arrests under the statute. "No complaints have been filed," re plied the sheriff, "but the Northwest Steel company applied for extra depu ties and I kept 10 out near their plant. None ever made report of any trouble." "You can make arrests if you have the evidence," said Senator Olson. "You won't need evidence under th proposed law," said McCusker, "be cause if a man has a banner, that s evidence enough, and you can arrest the other men with him." Plenty of Laws. Sheriff Hurlburt said there were ample laws to reach any man who commits violence or disturbs th peace.
