ittate Board Has
'Policy of Lealency "
Governor Meier averred that
the state land board long ago ad
opted a lenient policy In dealing
with its loans, and that worthy
borrowers hare been rraated ex-
tensions of time in which to meet
their obligations.
; -James Stewart, special investi
gator for the land board, said
" that a somewhat similar policy
had been adopted by the federal
land banks which hold many
mortgages on farm property in
Oregon and other northwest
states, i
"If I were you men". Governor
Meier continued, "I would go to
the men from whom I borrowed
the. money and place my cards on
the table. I would tell them of
conditions, and ask for further
time in j which to par them I am
sure that in more than 90 cases

granted: The loan companies do
not want land under the present
i.etuD."
It was brpught out at the con
ference that the state land board
has no questionable loans either
In Yamhill or Washington coun
ties. -The further statement was
made -that none of the borrowers
In that section of the state have
been threatened with eviction be
cause they have not met their ob
ligations. This statement ' was in
connection with loans approved
by the federal land banks and
large loan companies.
. Governor Meier declared that
as far as he knew the executive
department has no authority to
grant a moratorium of private
debt.
"In-event of a bank panic the
governor has authority to declare
a series of holldlys," Governor
Meier continued. k . ,
Governor Meier made it plain
that a general moratorium prob
ably would result disastrously to
-the state and Its people Instead of
assisting those who are request

"I Take This Woman" now

is the love story of a carefree, sel
fish, petted girl used to luxury
and the .glitter-of smart New
York, who flirts with and mar
ries, a 'rugged, devil-may-care
ranger.. ' Disinherited -because of
her mad act, she tastes the bit
terness of hopeless struggle on f
barren western ranch. Discour
aged, ah? throws it all away and
returns to her father's home.
There she renews her life of gay-
ety and luxury, but without zest.
She discovers that she had tied
herself to her plainsman husband
with bonds more lasting than
those of law. j
The picture Is well acted by a
superior cast, and the direction In
tensifies its poignant, emotional
theme. In these days of easy
love, easy marriage and easy di
vorce, this picture- is timely and
pertinent. This girl reckoned on
an easy out, j divorce, after her
hair-brained marriage grew wear
isome! she didn't reckon on the
uncontrollable force of love. Ton

ing: backgrounds are fascinating,
from the rowdy night club to the
vast Wyoming ranch, to the lux
urious Park Avenue home. And It
is one' picture with a wallip as
big as its title. ,

fled. Automobile tracks from near

could commandeer it by chance
and It was assumed he had a
machine hidden there for use.
The plane In which Billingsley
escaped with the boys was flown
back to Bishop. He never had
flown a plane before, and it was
considered remarkable he landed
without mishap.
At Bishop Bllllngsley's wife Ra
chel told authorities her husband,
"nervous and desperate," arrived
at her home about 10 a. m., and
forcibly removed Junior, 5. and
Gene. 8. As ho drove away in
an automobile, she said he called
