The State Land Board on the
9th day of October passed a reso
lutlonregardlng the irreducible
school" fund. Instead of giving
that f-esiolution to the press, It was
circulated at state expense. It la
full hi bqison, full of venom and
beneath! the dignity of state of
ficers. The resolution i3 given
In full herewith:
C WA wtfiKKAS, m me issue oi
the Morning uregonian
of Wednesday, October 8. 1924, on
page seven, the following state
ments were made'. 'Both Governor
Pierce ind Mr. Myers have inti
mated fhat they favor investing
the school funds' In bonds, which
, would deprive the farmers . of
money wt a reasonable cost. It
also! is likely, -4t was said, that
both the governor and Mr, Myers
within the next month will go on
record favoring the foreclosure of
all mortgages securing loans from
the schciol fund in cases where the
Interest is delinquent more than a
few weeiks. Such a course on the
part of i the officials would bank
rupt a large number of farmers,
It wasald.'
NowL whereas, the above state
ment is misleading and untrue
both in facts as stated and intima
tions' conveyed and does by its
very nature tend , to unsettle the
Invested money of the chool
: funds, increase unrest and dis
. satisfaction among the borrowers
of said school fund and add to the
burden of the farmers of Oregon
and is by its very nature Injurious
, to the beet interests of the most
f eacred money of our common
wealth, ?the irreducible school
fund ; therefore, be it
J "Resolved, that we, the mem
bers of the State Land Board, duly
assembled in special meeting this
ninth day of October, 1924, do
hereby declare that It is not and
at no time has been our purpose
to change in any way the char
acter of the loans from the irre
ducible school fund and that we
shall during our term of office
continue to loan aid fund to the
farmers of Oregon bn their im
proved farms in such amounts as
shall be properly safeguarded by
the security of said farms as of
fered to us; and further, be it
"Resolved, that we do not and
never have contemplated any ac
tion looking ; towards the unjust
foreclosure-of any properties now
covered by our mortgages. That
we will extend to the farmers of
the state who are now making use
of this money every courtesy and
consideration compatible with the
safety of the fund and the laws of
Oregon. That we will give earnest
and careful consideration to all
requests for extensron of interest
and other payments due, realizing
'that the farmers of Oregon are in
many cases temporarily embar
rassed by economic condition now
existing, and that we will in no
lease make foreclosures of proper
ties covered by state mortgage?
until every other means of pro
tecting this most sacred fund has
been exhausted; furthermore, be
It, . .
I "Resolved, that we hereby state
that In practically every case
where foreclosure proceedings
have been instituted the proper
ties covered by the mortgages are
worthless and abandoned, the
taxes overdue and foreclosure the
only remedy left for us, and that
we never have and never will deny
to the farmers of Oregon every
Opportunity to make good on their
loans, but will on the other hand
extend to them every aid in keep
ing with the safety of the fund
Intrusted to our care.
"And further, that a copy of
this resolution be sent to the press
of the state and mailed to each
person who la now making use
of the money of the school fund
or Oregon."
In the first place an auditor was
employed last spring for the pur
pose of making an investigation
of the school fund. , It is stated
that he never investigated the fi
nancial end, contenting himself
with going through the files of
the office and giving the records
of each loan. For this alleged
audit the state of Oregon paid
91200 a' sum certainly sufficient
to have made a complete audit of
all the .affairs of the land loan
branch of the state government.
That audit was filed under date
of June-30th and yet it was held
privately until about four weeks
before the election when it was
handed out cautiously among the
friends of the administration. The
secretary of state, Sam Kozer, de
manded a copy and received it as
was his due, but not ttntil about
four months after the ' audit was
filed. Then he had to fortify him
self; for defense against the in
nuendo and give to the state. the
facts to prevent a spread of the

V" By IVAN WHITE
Tho . boys of Salem have piit
their faith in' the citizens of this
town to get them a new Y. Why
do they want this new building?
Because in former years it has
been a place tor them to congre
gate and carry on many activities
under the right kind of leadership.
A place where they can enjoy
themselves in the gym, swimming
tank,- and game rooms. But the
building where we have enjoyed
ourselves has outlived its useful
ness and is far inadequate to the
needs of our large city. -i
If . you want the boys in this
city to run on the streets, to be
getting constantly into trouble arid
finally to become a detriment to
this city, don't' support the cam
paign.. But, If you want this city
to continue along its present lines
of progress, to have 4 YMCA thM
is a credit to you.i if you want the
young people to 'grow into the
right kind, pat this campaign over.
