. The Home Loan Bill
THE government makes a big mistake, except as a tem
porary expedient, in getting over into the field of home
financing. There are signs everywhere of a healthy rising
of the people against this wet-nursing by government of en-
terprise better left to private initiative. As an emergency
measure the move may have some excuses, but as a perman
v ent thing it is unnecessary and unwise. There is not at the
present time a great lack of housing accommodation. In
most cities there are surpluses of houses due to the doubling
up of families when incomes shrink. One cause of our trouble
was the over-abundance of capital for construction purposes
in the last decade. The over-building of apartment houses as
speculative enterprises has been exposed as one of the great
financial scandals of the gilded era.
But in the field of finance there is nothing, scarcely,
more safe than loans on homes. In the states of Oregon and
Washington, while there have been numerous bank failures,
not a single savings and loan association honestly operated
has failed in receat years, so far as our information goes.
Some have had their troubles, but they are weathering the
storm and nearly all of them are continuing dividends.
This is a great tribute to this form of savings and in
vestment. In fact if we were recommending an investment
policy for persons whether of large or small means we would
endorse
First, an insurance policy for protection against emer
gencies : death, sickness, accident.
Second, a savings account in a bank, which is immedi
ately available and should make borrowing except for per
manent investment unnecessary.
Third, certificate in a savings and loan association call
ing for regular weekly or monthly payments. This is a long
term savings program, and should not be withdrawn, except
in case of grave necessity, until it is completed.
After this come first mortgages, bonds, real estate and
stocks. So many people have gotten bad burns on bonds
and stocks they fl much niore kindly to the conservative,
if low interest, savings bank and building and loan asso
ciation investments. We are confident enough money is be
ing saved right here in Salem to supply even now all the leg
itimate demand for loans for constructing new homes, but
the savings are scattered all over the country. That of course
is the individual's privilege; but we do not know where a
person could go to find safer investment than in the homes
of Salem and the farms of Marion county on the basis of
current values.
. We do not look for much general benefit from the home
loan bill, but what there is ought to be of some benefit to the
lumber industry which is flat on its back with its tongue
hanging out. Our hope is that industry, which has within it
self abundant resources for self -recovery, will hit its stride
before many months, and make this new government ma
chine unnecessary.
Board Continues to Crawl
SATURDAY'S paper has a dispatch from Portland quot
ing members of the state board of higher education to
the effect that it was "not certain" that a chancellor will
be elected Sept. 12th.
That indeed is the most prominent characteristic of the
state board. It is "not certain". It has never been certain. It
has run now for over three years on a program of continu
ing uncertainty and vacillation until the people are thor
oughly disgusted and higher education is in a state of flux.
j This is illustrated again in the quotation from C. C.
Coif:
"In fairness to Dr. W. J. Kerr, I wish to say that he has not
-been eliminated from the list of .candidates because his nam
has never been presented to the board as a candidate."
So then the bo i may change its mind again after def
initely -deciding to ... east for a chancellor? More uncertain
ty. Charting the course of the state board of higher educa
tion, either past or prospective is, like making a graph of the
movements of a flea. 4- '
The naivete of Mr. Colt's interview is indeed engaging.
From his remarks one would infer the board had never heard
of Dr. Kerr, that his name had not been considered, that
if mentioned it was only a casual reference, that the board
did not go into a huddle for hours over electing him, that it
did not deadlock after days of conferences, and that the news
reports of the four-four split with Charlie Starr on the fence
are vagaries of reporters.
How, may we inquire is a man's name presented to the
board as a candidate? Is it necessary to initiate petitions
and hire shovers at ten. cents a name and store the petitions
in bank vaults pending a board meeting? How was Doctor
Zook's name presented as a candidate? And how about all
the ethers whose names the board zealously safeguards lest
they feel the snub of second-choice? The board seems quite
sensitive of the feelings of other "candidates"; but seems to
think after snooping around all over the country it can come
back and hire Dr. Kerr if it wants to. The board would make

Ia a rare little .book on the life
ot Cyrus Shepard, written by
Bar. Z. A. Mudge, published la
1811, only a few copies of which
are ia existence, one of them In
the collection of A. N. Bush ot
Salem, several incidents are re
lated that led Shepard and hia
friends to believe that he was
called of the God of Christian
peoples
Called to be a Christian, a mis
sionary, directed to come to Ore
gon, guided on his way, placed to
meet tha persons and be ia the
places where his work might be
fruitful.

The little book telle ot his birth
and boyhood la the home of a
humble Massachusetta farmer; of
his becoming a school teacher,
his conversion, hia removal to
tha city of Lyna. Mass.. where ha
became a member of tha First
Methodist church and a teacher
la Sunday school.
.
Exceptionally devout he felt a
can to do larger work for ha
manlty; hoped to be sent to Af
rica as a missionary teacher.
Talliag a friead of a dream he
dreamed of being actually on tha
way In a ship to tha African field,
his name was proposed by tha
friend for that service. . But he
was denied that opportunity. He
had been fond of tine clothes,
personal display. Ha felt called to
suppress this pride, and dressed
shabbily, la a sort of psnaee, so
much so that many who noticed
this remarked upon It area when
ha was at the old Oregon mission.

be a missionary. Jason Lea aad

been commissioned to open n mis

as doubt familiar with the cir

been mentioned to Jason Lee by
a member of tha Methodist mis
sionary board at New Tork. But
It was only a faiat memory. He
visited Boston, had a chance

Lieutenant Wilkes, la his "Ex

of this Incident: "It was near

the very remarkable occurrence
ot the wreck of a Japanese juak
happened, la the year 1811. The
officers of the Hudson's Bay com

They received a drawing, on a
piece of China paper, of -three
shipwrecked persons, with a juak
on the rocks, and the Indians en
gaged In plundering. This waa
sufficient to Induce them to make
inquiries; and Captain McNeil

find the three Japanese, whom ha
