Interest On f
loans Made to Farmers
From State
School Fund
Greater Than In Previous
Years As Cash Heceived
By HARRY N. CRAIN
Desperate in their endeavors to
discredit former state administra
tions and extend their control
over state institutions and affairs
thru tho election of Jefferson
Myers as stato treasurer, whose
presence in that office would give
the governor the majority he seeks
on the state board of control,
Governor Pierce and the Oregon
Journal are allowing themsolvcs
to indulge in extravagant claims
and charges which are shown to
be utterly false by careful analysis
of the facts.
Perhaps the most misleading
and unfounded of these allegations
are the statements designed to
create the impression that the
Btatc irreducible school fund has
been so depleted by wasteful in
vestment of the fund in "worth
less" farm loans as to prevent the
annual apportionment of the in
terest returns to the various
echools this year, and that the
apportionment next year may have
to be passed to allow the fund to
be reimbursed to the extent of
these depletions out of the inter
est returns.
Receipts Greater
Political expediency cannot ex
cuso these statements, or their
absurdity. The school fund ap
portionment for the present year
has already been made, was made
on August 1 as provided by law.

Council decides that n hot
tnmalc Is not a median irnl
contrivance, and that Charley
Maxwell may sell tninalch on

Some one is
neglecting city
business.
Mayor Giesy and several mem
hers of the. city council who spoke
on the subject last night didn't
fasten the blame on any particular
person or persons, or say whether
the fault lies with some of the
members of the council or some
other city officials, but they declar
ed tho negligence must cease, and
that when the council resolves by
formnl action to do any public
work It must be done and not for
gotten by the responsible officers.
Sidewalks Never Built
The subject came up with regard
to sidewalks. An 'Instance or two
was cited in which the council
adopted resolutions and caused no
tices to be served a year and a
half ago, and no sidewalks have
yet been built. Another instance
was cited in which notice to build
was served on property owners,
and the officer who served tho no
tice was Informed that the new
walks had been built for about a
year. It was believed the council
had ordered tho work done, for
gotten all nbout it and then taken
tho action over again. Alderman
Ralph Thompson said that side
walks had been ordered on Twenty
fourth streot a. year and a half
ago, but nothing had been done
