DAILY EAST OBEOONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1922,
WHY THE MUD SQUAD IS SO VICIOUS
SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN'S statement regarding the
school fund loan made to Walter M. 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. '

attendance at the Oregon-Whitman football game yes
terday proves that this place is one of the northwest's big
football centers and should assure one or more bur confer
ence games each year. We have an ideal football field and
seating accommodations for a crowd of 25,000 people. It will be
profitable lor the colleges to stage a game here each year and 3
likewise a source of enjoyment to local people. Because of our! 3
geographical position this is the logical battlefield for either the
O. A. C. or University of Oregon teams against Whitman, Idaho
and Washington State College. 4
