Pierce in 1903 shows the absurdity of the Portland mud squad's efforts to Slander the good name of Mr. Pierce. The loan to Mr. Pierce in 1903 was perfectly regular, according to Mr. Chamberlain, who was then governor. The loan was granted by a staie loard on which there were two republicans and one 'democrat. The loan was repaid with interest and the state benefited by j making that loan because it received six per cent whereas oth erwise the money would have been unused. i The problem before the state board was how to keep the : school fund working so as to get the maximum amount of inter- . fist allowed by law. It was good business to make a loan to a re sponsible Eastern Oregon farmer who offered ample security . and who subsequently proved the soundness of the loan by re- paying it and making prompt interest payments. It was better for the state to use its money in that manner as called for by law ' than to have the state treasurer keep the fund in some pet bank receiving in return a personal reward as was done in Oregon years ago. If it is a crime for an Eastern Oregon farmer to borrow mon ey on his land there are few farmers in this regionwho are inno cent. Without borrowed money the farming business could not be carried on with success. Nor is there anything hazardous about loaning money with good wheat land as security. Pos sibly Mr. Pierce's critics think the school fund loans should be made only to hop growers and loganberry farmers, but if so they know little about loan values. 1 The methods used by the mud squad in trying to defeat Mr. Pierce should be sufficient in themselves to insure his election. After commenting on the facts as to the Pierce loan in 1903 and Senator Chamberlain's statement relating thereto the Oregon Journal offers this pungent observation today: Vet, 19 yi'ai'S iiftcr, ve huvo JiiHt had tlm nilmirulile Hpcctaclc of thin per fectly proper trunsaiik n (IriiKtii-'d out in an attempt to blacken the name of a good citizens becauKe ho Is niukiiiK a Hlate-wiile sti'UKKle to secure reduction of taxes. We hud front rawes of I'oilland newspapers smeared over with fac simile slfe-naturex. We hail huuo headlines falsely alleging that a fraud had been discovered. We had insinuation, innuendo and other rotten bunk. ' We hud solemn questions proposed io Mr. rierco. We saw journalism, which otiKht to 1 honest dragged in the sewatie and mire of misrepresentation. We saw newspapers as scavengers, smeared with offal and reeking with slime, and what for? Merely to heat I'lerce because he has become a state-wide leader I'oi the thousands of taxpayers In tn;s stale who are bunded together In a JrtoVment to secure some relief from outrageous luxes. That is a correct analysis of the motive back of the mud cast ing attack upon Walter Pierce. Mr. Pierce is assailed because he offers a practical and workable plan for equalizing the tax burden so that the farmer and the home owner may have re lief. The mud squad speaks for those who dont want tax equal ization. Portland's millionaire timbermen and others of that Coterie are perfectly willing to have the farmer and home owner pull the load indefinitely. That is why they ask "What can be done, where will Pierce cut taxes?" They try to create the im pression that the task is hopeless and that Mr. Pierce as gover nor could do nothing to help the situation. But in their hearts they know better. They know that the problem can be solved as has been done in other states along the lines suggested by Mr. Pierce and that his election will be a mandate from the people for tax equalization. That is why they are fighting Mr. Pierce so viciously, it is why they arc lampooning him with cartons, it is why they they raised their $25,000 slush fund to "fight Pierce." Inadvertently the mud squad is paying Walter Pierce a splen did compliment and their motive when once understood will make his election certain. It is almost a sure sign, when, a man stops working, that he is about to stop living. ' If you can t eoop. rat,. win, tno ,MJU!je t,,(t mri,s up your Job and go where you can.
