OREGON HAS NO REAL BONDED DEBT The following bulletin of the Bank of North America 44 Wall street, New -York has been given to the pres through out the country for publication: i J .. - "Construction of highways and payment of bonuses to soldiers are the principal purposes for which Oregon has incurred its present bonded debt 'of $(3,613,610, or $72.49 for every man, woman and Child in the state.' 'Ten states in the Union have a larger bonded Indebtedness, but, only one state has a higher per capita debt. "These facta are brought out in a nation-wide survey just com pleted by , The Bank of America, New York, which reveals that the state governments of the -United States have a total bonded debt of $1,846,113,577,72, or $15.75 per capita. ;- ' Nearly half-thii huger outstanding debt has been incurred within the paM;flvQ years and in the past two years alone more than $355, 000,000 worth of new bonds have been issued while some $68,000,000 worth haVe .been retired. ... . t V' "Highways and bridge construction is responsible for .45 J2. -per cent of the total indebtedness, the Bank of America statisticians have found." Actually $834,467,058 worth of bonds outstanding have been issued for this purpose, which is significant, in view of the compara tively recent large-scale building of roads. Soldiers' bonuses account for $271,528,000 or 14.7 per cent of the total outstanding debt, while waterways and harbors comes third' in the list of purposes for bond issues with a total of $222,508,800 or,12.1 per cent. Only 1.9 per cent of the total debt represents expenditure for educational pur poses. , VNew York state's debt of $341,059,000 is Xh largest of any State in the Union. North Carolina ranks second with a debt of $143,392,600 and Illinois third with $137,212,500. Florida, Nebras kaKentucky and Wisconsin have no bonded debt. r4 The highest per capita debt of any state in the Union is that of South Dakota, amounting to $85.15 or nearly five and a half times the average for the nation. Oregon is second with $72.49 per capita. North Carolina third with $50.17, ftorth Dakota fourth with $48.12 and, Delaware fifth with a per capita debt of $45.45. "The Pacific group comprising Washington, Oregon and California have the highest per capita debt of any section, the Bank of America finds in grouping Its figures according to the geographical areas of the country. Its debt per inhabitant is $25.93, more than one and a half times the average for the nation. At the opposite end of . the country, New England ranks second having a per capita debt of $22.31. The West north central division, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, . North." Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas has a per. capita OeDl OI tZZ.Zt wnrue toe Aiiaaia aau per person of $20.98 ana lis. 14, respectively. f BeIow the average for the country as a whole are the mountain states having a. debt of;, $11.09. the east north central $9.77, east South "central J7. 32 and west south central with $5.22. All but two of the, geographlcalgronps icreased their debts within the past two 'years, decreases being recorded only by the west Bouth central and ;inOTol'alB;dlTisi6n .:' 1 '; In the; strictest enseV Oregon has no bonded state debt at aU, as' such state debts-are generally '.-known, created for the construction i bfcapitolsir elcl, etc. A T ' But the figures given by the Bank of America are no doubt from .the records ; only that bank's writer does not fully explain the records. -There are four kinds 'of Oregon state bonds, as follows, as of last September 30 : Highway bonds, $36,677,750. : Rural credit bonds; $450,000. ; s' ; Irrigation interest .bonds,, $2,043,410. Soldier bonus loan bon3s, $25,000,000. -i The total of the above figures up slightly more than the amount given by? the Bank of "America. The difference jsj ' accounted "for by payments sjnctf Sept. 30 on the principafpf 1 highway bonds . They are constantly being paid. The last These highway bbndswhi backed by the whole credit of the 'state-wfll never be a jcharge upon i-eal property-- j, -" Neither will the" soldier bonus loan bonds. That fund Will wipe itself out in time, from the payment ol the loans on thei property of the World war veterans. The same is true of the rural credit bonds 1 ; ; . ? And the irrigation interest bonds are secured ,by the prop erty of the irrigation districts. , There may be a Ios here, linally, to be charged to the general taxpayers pf the state. Arid there may not be. There .would not ha ve been danger of loss if the business of ;the irrigation districts had all been handled judiciously, and with vigorous business methods ' If the tate Jiad gone a little further with its credit, and, with vision and good management, encouraged the settling and working of the lands. , CL- . As said in the. heading, Oregon has no real bonded debt This state ,is merely surety for the payment" of bonds issued for development purposes, and for loans to World war veterans to enable them to acquire homes and farms. - i , Z' For the jbiggest issue, we have our magnificent state hign-? way system to show for it. For the next largest) we have the property and honor of our World war veterans. ,. ' ' : y . ' .

The writer wihes them all great expansion, and hopes more 'groups may be developed fast. This thing cannot be over done.

S That is just a simple squander ing of government money. It is as silly as the cat chasing , her tail. ;'. - . , , ' .. : ' : . , The thing to do. the thing Ger many and Prance and other coun tries do. is. to put in locks and dams and prpvide still water and a boating stage the year through', so that barges may be put on to earry the heavy freight, at very low cost. That is what will be done for the Willamette, in course of time. Why wait? Why dilly dally? . Congressman Hawley has in serted an item for a survey of the Willamette from Salem to Port land, in the present rivers and har bors bill, with a view to securing still water; but the underlings of the engineering department have tied It up with red tape and chased the cat after her tail While the heads at Washington want something done. They have the vision. Can't they endow their subordinates with the vis ion, or get those who already have it? "a "a On apple blossom Sunday, a few weeks ago,""In the Annapolis val ley, Nora Scotia.

"I sa'w a mob, wildly cheering, set alight a small police station behind parliament house, the po lice fled, the nfob pursuing them down the side streets. When any policeman was caught he was ruthlessly killed with sticks or swords. Suddenly there was a clatter of hpofs and a large gie tachment of mounted police gal loped down the street, making a regular cavalry charge, whirling swords over their heads. ; ."Workmen quickly , ran motor lorries across streets, piling up ledders. and-building materials in improvised barricades. As the mounted police passed slashing at all who were in their way, many emerged from doorways armed with strips of planking and lead piping with which they tried to injure and fell the horses.- "Behind the mounted ' police c4i me tfoot police. They opened a rapid fire wih pistols on the demonstrators. As I stopped to take a picture, two demonstrators rolled over dead." I ; After a tour of the streets the jnter says ne went to parliament Inouse which had been turned into an emergency dressing station. There was a strong smell of anti septics, the floor was blood stained and ambulance men were working feverishly. "As I entered," he says, "a girl was led in bandaged and a man was carried in, shot through the face. The howls of the infuriated mob outside were distinctly heard within the building. ' "The tragic feature is the num ber of factory Kirls who Joined in the demonstration. It will proba bly be found many of them were among the victims.
