More Frenzied Finance
During the recent annual meeting of county assessors
held here, H. V. Welch, assessor for Multnomah county sub
mitted data showing that building permits in Portland were
heavily inflated so as to help sell or bond property for more
than its value.. Inflation, ran as high as 100 percent above
actual cost, especially on some of the buildings of hotel
properties. Bonds were sold to the public on the basis of
appraisals inflated far beyond the value of land and build
ing cost. '
Colonel Welch also stated as to residence values, accord
ing to the Oregon Voter, that .Portland
Prices of residence property as reported by real estate' sales
men and loan boosters was based on an Inflated instalment sale value
of the lot, an Inflated estimate of building costs, and enough added
to cover various slip-ups between realty promoters, contractors, sec
, ond nortguge financors, insurance agentB and others who had to get
a slice. The purchase of a residence on the installment plan from
expert realty promoters usually meant heavy inflation in lot value
plus Iniluted price of good construction plus loss of reul value by
poor construction plus a general split of fees among those who
financed the deal. If the buyor survived the Investors would get
tueir money, it they didn't they would get the property back and
make another profit out of a similar sale.
The above indicates that Portland boomers are piling up
a lot of grief for investors to i-eaiize after the boom bubble
bursts. It is not only the cities of Washington that are de
liberately defrauding investors on improvement bonds, as
pictured so minutely in the Oregonian, but the builders of
Portland as well. In the inevitable reaction and deflation,
the crash will come. Yet we see nothing to forewarn the
investing public in the Oregonian or other Portland papers.
Shocked by the frenzied finance of past days of neighboring
cities, they are strangely silent concerning that of the
present in then own community.

Sane Government?
Even H. L. Mencken will acknowledge his error and ad
mit that we have statesmen in Oregon when he reads the
following from the sapient Salem Statesman.
Tho peoplo of the United States over subscrbed the IUlaa
100,000,000 loan four times. Which gives an Idea of wbat the
peoplo of tills country think of a government that is sane and Is
conducted along tho lines of common honesty.
That the unspeakable tyrant Mussolini who rules Italy by
terrorism, who at the head of 300,000 armed Fascists, cowes
opposition by murder, arson and abduction, suppresses the
press and forbids free speech, provides "a government that
is sane and conducted along lines of common honesty," is
news indeed.
What is syne'or honest about the egotistical, megalomani-
cal Italian usurper who imagines himself a now Napoleon,
and his government? It is true Italy agreed to settle its war
indebtedness to the United States on the basis of $1.17 for
the dollar spread over the most of the next century, about
one tenth of one percent interest, but Great Britain had al
ready agreed to pay on the basis of $2.41 and the United
States had rejected France's offer on the - basis of $1.55.
What is there meretorious about such a settlement for a pre
ferred creditor?
The Italian loan was over-subscribed, just as every other
European loan has been, even without an agreement upon
funding of war indebtedness, simply because nearly all of
the gold in the world is in America and seeks a market.

looking at Marin most' devotedly.

that Bob could give the last of

city's medical colleges).
Billy telephoned Marie Wednes
day morning, just as the maid
brought her her breakfast tray.
"Marie!" his voice was that of nn
angry father speaking to disobed
ient child. "What's this I hear
a boot you marrying Bob Randall?
I thought you weren't going to do
it?"
"I am." she replied serenely.

about her wanting to marry Bob
Yet when Billy had hung off she
felt as If she had lost something
very precious, Hho had told Billy
that she cared for Bob, that she
felt her happiness lay In marrying
him. And Billy had been hurt and
angry when he hung up the re
ceiver.
Tho day sped on winged feet.
The next morning at breakfast dif

factory'lhnt night some time when
she had gone to his apartment and

Marie's heart stood still as she
read. There had been an explos

many were hurt, and there was no
news of Billy, who had gone to the
factory early In the evening. The
company was known to be In fi

Mario jumped out of bed and be

Caroline, who came running to the
room. ;

asked as she opened the door.
Yes, and I'm going to Billy. Oh
Caroline, I can't marry anyone else,

my memories of him than with any

Caroline did not try to argue; i

day's plans, and when Maria start

by her side In the motor that bore
them swiftly to the scene of the
