PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON" CapitaM$ournal Salem, Oregon An Independent Newspaper, Published every evening except Sunday StarlighT By the Noted Author IDAH M'OLONB GIBSON Telephone 81; news 81 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor end Publisher Farm Loan Usury Secretary of Ihe Treasury Fall has informed President Harding and his cabinet, as a result of a personal investiga tion, that Lanka m the southwest are profiteering oy practicing usury in reloaning government funds advanced by the War Finance corporation for the reuei 01 iarmers aim stock-growers. Fall declares that millions of the federal fund loaned to banks in the present agricultural emergency at 6Va percent have been reloaned to farmers and stockmen for as high as 12 percent. In addition many of the banks have charged an extra commission for procuring the loan, despite the fact that the law prohibits the charging of more than two percent above the government Interest to cover costs. The same charges have been made in congress for some time by Texas congressmen, who declare that Kve-stock associations have been organized by the packers working in conjunction with their banks to further their control of the livestock industry. This is the natural result of a law which is so framed that it aids banks rather than farmers by forcing the latter to pay tribute to the former or go without federal aid. "The government is not going to tolerate usury, and all interest charges over 7J2 percent for government loans is usury" declares President Harding. But instead of prose cution and disciplining of the delinquent banks, the pres ident says that he "relies upon the newspapers to help term inate the evil by broadcasting the fact to stock-growers and farmers that if they pay more than iy percent for govern-) ment money, they are being defrauded." The proposed remedy is quite characteristic of the admin istration, and quite futile. The borrowing farmers in the banks' power, are not in a position to protest. All who receive loans are quite cognizant of the law and of the usury exacted-they can pay or lose the loan, and protest would lose it in a majority of cases. Emergency farm loans should be made direct to the farm er, just as federal land loans are. This will eliminate usury and unfair practices. Under the present law, new money has not found its way to the farmer who is benefitted only as the bank carrying his credit is benefitted. Legislation is proposed to provide for rediscounting through the Federal Land Bank act, which will provide for semi-investment paper of agricultural communities and thus solve a most important problem. Let Pandemonium Reign When it is desired to "put anything over" in Portland nowadays they resort to noise instead of appealing to reason. The 1925 exposition sentiment was worked up by means of bombs, sirens, jazz and clamor. The "community chest" drive, for the organized charities of the city, is to be ushered in by the same hullabaloo, as a sure and certain way get results in the Oregon metropolis. To quote the Oregonian: Noise? And then gome. Deop-throated sirens, capable of casting their bellowing a full ten miles, will shout, bidding the city remember l int It in fliim .til I tAil - -it ...

Not a noon will pass without the crusning detonation or annul bombs above the business district. For once however this appeal to dull intellect is in behalf of a worthy cause. As emotion replaces reason in Portland, let pandemonium reign. John Storm Calls "You must be careful, child John Storm admonished. "Theo dore Stratton baa the reputation of making women into stars and . , "And t what?" I Interrupted quickly, and even to myself my roloe sounded strange. "And of breaking their hearts." "I do not bell ere It." Eren as I said It the saddened face of Maud Sanson came up In front of me. , " . "Oh I wish you had" not told met this, Mr. Storm.

And to do It well I must believe In him a. well as mjaelf.'" Yes, I understand and I do not mean to discourage you. You know, Virginia, that I am your friend and I came here tonight to tell you that almost the last thing Rla said to me as she bade me goodbye this morning was: "Take care of Virgle. Sbe will not get Into trouble except through Ig norance of worldly ways.' " He smiled a little Quizzical as he continued telling what Rla said. " 'Although I do not think that you are so worldly yourself, but we are told that two negatives make a positive. Perhaps two in nocents, like yourself and Virgle, might make a wise one.' " "Hello, Virgle." Jack Thompson peeped his head Into the . door. "Gee, but I am sorry. I heard about it over at the Chinese res taurant and cams over to see If you were a vlotlm." "Oh, Jack, I have lost every thing I bare In the world!" "Here, cheer up, Virginia. We are all for you. Need any money? Ill lend you half my check for today." i Deneve mat am me more good than all the things that John Storm had said to me. Right then and there I learned that all of the people in the world the mov ing picture actor, as well as the actor of the speaking stage, is most generous. He will divide his last dollar with you. John Storm In punctllllous ob servance of the condition, had left my door open. Jack Thomp son had rushed through it and shut It with a bang. That is Just the difference between the two classes. One insists upon telling the whole world that the things he doeg are all right, consequent ly he doesn't care what the whole world thinks. "Jack, this is the minister who married Rla and Herb.

"Oh, great, I was In hopes you had a car to take us in. I'm tired. John Storm looked at Jack with approval. I could see that Jack's frankness, which wss htg most at tractive quality, had met with in stant favor. It was the best thing that I could possibly happen making out the list for It took my mind away from my loss to put It down on paper. Soon we were on our way to the police station and the red tape waa cut quickly by John Storm. I was taken directly to the chief's office and made my deaposltlon and left the written account of my loss. On the way back I heard some one say: "Virgle. Wake up!" and I found that Jack was gently Bhak Ing me. "I didn't know I had gone to sleep." "Why you have been asleep an hour," was John Storm's surpris ing assertion. But It omy takes five mln utes to come from the police sta tion to the apartment. Yes, but you were asleep be fore we had hardly gotten Into the car. Mr. Thompson suggested that the nlr would do, you good and so we drove around a bit." Jack closed the eye toward me slowly. I was mystified. I did not understand what he meant until he was taking me upstairs when he divulged his reason. I waa so tired, lVrgie, that I knew I couldn't sleep.
