The net results of the effort to curb usury, was the re
duction of interest rates on pawnbroker's loans from three
to two and a half percent a month. Yet pawnbrokers are
the least obnoxious of the loan sharks and their rates less
than those of so-called companies that flourish by exploiting
the poor. The representatives refused to lower interest rates
on loans ot sau or less to 10 percent a montn, though no one,
even in prosperous times can
and survive. The bill to limit interest rates on all loans up to
$300, to two and one-half percent a month was killed as was
the bill to reduce the limit for three percent a month loans
from $800 to $300, and that reducing interest rates on month

Representative Hannah Martin of Marion asserted that
8 percent monthly rates were unconscionable and that it
was "common gossip that a strong lobby, with ample money
had worked against the bills." A similarly well financed lobby
two years ago put over the legislation that makes Oregon a
mecca for loan sharks. Representative Paulus, also of Marion,
was the chief defender of the
Christianity his constituency should be proud of.
: Peruna for Depression
,A United States senate
Idea of summoning 250 or more of the "best minds" of
finance, industry, law, economics, technocracy, labor, etc..
to give their individual formulas for the cure of depression
and restoration of prosperity. The result thus far has been a
curious hodge-podge of conflicting ideas and suggestions
that proves that the best minds know little more about the
subject than the man on the
the majority in agreement the
even on the method there is disagreement.
John W. Davis, democratic nominee for the presidency
in 1924, declined the senate invitation to set the world aright
as beyond him, saying;
As the depression Is not due to any single cause, unless It be human
folly, I am sure It cannot be cured by any single remedy. I have long
since cased to believe In governmental miracles or legislative cure-alls.
To my mind the most helpful thing congtcss can do Is to devote Itself
to the obvious things that lie close at
.guidance.
This would seem to blow-up the grandiose ' scheme of
providing a peruna for depression. There is nothing logical
about humanity or government that reflects it and there
are too many variables to be considered to provide a simple
solution, it is folly to attempt
Congress should, as Mr. Davis says, confine itself "to
the obvious things that lie close at hand," among which he
mentions four, budget, beer,
which congress has so far failed to touch. While these re
visions would not end the depression, each would contribute
something to relief.
There seems some suspicion that the senate has sum
moned these best minds really to exonorate itself by show-
ing that congress is no more at
dustry and finance, and thus restore some of its lost prestige,
But on the other hand, it is easier to listen to 250 witnesses

that once a dentist has qualified and been licensed, his ethics
were a matter for himself and the dental profession and not
the province of the state.
The bill provides that any

or making use of advertising solicitors or free publicity agents; or ad

lessly. There would seem to be ample safeguards in the present
law, which provides that any dentist may have his license re
voked for "the advertisement of dental business or treatment
or devices in which untruthful and misleading, improbable or
impossible statements are made."
This would seem to supply safeguards enough, for the
public is already protected from untruthful and misleading
advertising. Fraudulent statements can be controlled through
existing legal methods and through the better business
bureaus. The proposed law will prevent dentists who desire
to use proper and effective advertising for their profession
and business from so doing.
It is doubtful if the bill is constitutional for it is class
legislation and an infringement of personal rights and privil

RELIEF BOARD
ORGANIZES TO
SPEED PROGRAM
Members of the state-wide relief
committee appointed recently by
Governor Meier under an act of the
present legislature, met all day to
consider various problems having to
do with the general relief program.
Raymond Wilcox ot Portland, chair
man, presided.
The committee indorsed the food
conservation program and the ef
forts of the Oregon building con-
gross to crcat work for the unem
ployed through self liquidating pro
jects. It 'was recommended that
each of the county committees In
elude one woman.
F. O. Croxton presented a letter
authorizing the use ot reconstruc
tion finance corporation funds in
providing garden seed for the regis.
tered unemployed. Wilcox said that
wmie the committee had requested
additional federal funds to cover
relief demands for March and April
he was not in a position to divulge
the amount of money involved untU
the application has been acted upon
in wasnington.
Considerable thought is now be
ing given to tho selection of the
county committees, Wilcox declared
He said these committees would be
composed of seven members, three
of whom will be selected by the
county courts. The remaining four
members will be appointed by the
governor, wncox declared that the
relief committee would cooperate
with the governor in selecting these
persons.
"There Is rather too much com
placency In the thought that having
passed house bill No. 109, providing
for a small appropriation for the
expenses of the state relief com
mittee, that five or six million dol
lars or any other large amount can
be definitely counted upon from
the reconstruction finance corpora
tion," Wilcox continued.
There is no definite assurance
that this money can be obtained
and there still remains the obliga
tion of the state to the unemployed.
The state relief committee repeats
its former recommendation that
there be Included In any revenue
bill passed by this legislature a
reasonable per cent for unemploy
ment relief, the committee announ
ced.

POLICE CARS TO
SECURE RADIOS
Installation of the short wave
broadcasting station and the equip
ping of six police cars with receiv
ers will be completed within the
next 10 days, Chief of Police Frank
Mlnto stated today. The equip
mcnt was assured Monday night
when the city council appropriated
$300 out of the emergency fund
with which to match $400 raised by
the police department. The total of
700 will not entirely finance the
transmitter and receivers but the
balance is expected to be available
by the time the set has been in
stalled. One substantial donation
from a business firm has been prom
ised Chief Mlnto while others are
expected to follow.
The value of radio In handling
crime was emphasized Monday by
Chief L. V. Jenkins of Portland
during a talk before the Salem
chamber of commerce. He said the
running time of traffic cars in an
swering calls had been cut from 30
minutes under the old system to a
fraction of a minute through the
use of radio.
Installation of radio cars here will
make It possible to put an additional

PLAN TO RELIEVE
FARM DEBTORS
ON MORTGAGES
Portland, Feb. 21 (P) Operating
on the theory ot "applied Christian
ity" and on the premise that many
mortgages can be re-written at a
lower rate of Interest to the benefit
of both mortgagor and mortgagee,
the state mortgage adjustment com
mittee met In conference here Mon
day to forestall such a situation as
has developed in the middle west.
The purpose of the organization
Is to effect amicable agreements be
tween farmers threatened with
mortgage foreclosures, and mortgage
holders. Forty volunteer workers
from Columbia, Clackamas, Clatsop,
Hood River, Washington, Yamhill
and Multnomah counties met In the
conference.
A similar meeting was set for to
day at Medford, and one will be held
Thursday at Arlington, and Friday
at Baker,
"Just a little applied Christianity,
that's our goal," Said O. M. Plum
mer, chairman of the committee. "It
will be a case of getting the bor
rower and the lender together and
doing what we can In the way of
adjustments that will rebond to
the benefit of botn."
One application for readjustment
has already been received In Mult
nomah county. These applications
are made through the secretaries of
the several county committees after
they have been turned into the of
fice of the county agricultural agent.
