He suggested that the money derived from the sale of the bonds be handled by the state treasurer, and that only first mortgages be accepted as security for loans. Bennett referred to the Port land banks as "pawn shops." "It there is any fault to find with the Portland banks it is be ntisa the nerson In charge are jiot bankers." Governor Meier re viled.
