Interest earnings on loans from the state's irre ducible school fund for tne year enamg ouij ox were $403,000. For the year ending July 1, 1924 they 4Anp;nnn Th increase is 42000. In those cold : i;l o nnrviota Answer to the Governor Pierce Oregon Journal campaign canard that the school tuna had become depleted to the point of making it doubtful whether school districts could expect their annual interest apportionments this year ana next. Governor Pierce, in hiB efforts to make political capital for Jefferson Myers, state treasurer, who is a candidate for election, and with tho connivance of the Oregon Journal, has been stooping to very shady meth ods, and through the Salem Capital Journal and other independent agencies who do not look with favor on such methods and who are not politically hide-bound ho haa been caught at it and exposed. ."' The governor procured the filing of a so-called survey by a public accountant of Portland which purported to ' show that 225 farmer-borrowers from the school fund were to be classed as delinquent. The independent in vestigation which followed showed that these . alleged "delinquents" in practically every case were up in their interest payments to within the year of grace al lowed under the law. It showed also that more than half ' of the "delinquents," classed by the survey as reflecting ! "marked tendencies of weakness" have since the date I of the survey, June 30, 1924, paid part or all of their i alleged delinquencies. The survey said that principal involved in tho alleged delinquencies aggregated $430, ! ill 7 4Q nnrl that delinonent interest acerecated $15,636.95. j The later investigation showed that nearly two-thirds of this principal amount cad been ro-estaoiisnea Dy pay ments made since the survey report was filed and that $7,737.80 of the interest maao delinquent oy tne gov ernor's refusal to allow borrowers the one year of grace provided under the law. There ia a good deal more involved here than the mere question or wnai candidate snaa uu muuiuu biuiu treasurer next Tuesday. There is the principlo of hon esty in-political method and practice. By what has taken place Governor Pier.ce and State Treasurer Myers and tho Oregon Journal are shown as lacking in that principle."

' Tho campaicm is ending as it began, with La Fol- lettcism and the national menace that it involves as the ' paramount issue.

La Toilette represents these latter, a vote tor mm is votc--in its ultimate effect for. them. Republican partisan spokesmen declare that La Follotte will derive his support largely from among voters heretofore democratic. Democratic partisan pokesmcn dcolare he will get his votes mostly from those who have been republican. The truth lies botweon these two extremes. La Folietto's votes will come Irom the forces of discontent and olass demand in both major parties and from similar forces m minor parties and factions. No ono can gauge with certainty tho propor tionate effect of this as botweon tho two old parties in the contry as a whole.

(CorvalliB Gasette-Times) The Eugene city council has the right Idea. Eugene haa a street rail way system. Now a number of bus lines propose to opera to in competi tion with tho street, milium. which is limiting e precarious living at best with the auto business amounting to what It does. So, the city of Eugene will mnlto the auto bus franchise so cxtienslvn Hint ih cannot afford to operate. If tho stuto in. urcgon ni.d tiiat much sense it would do (ho same thing with the slago lines and the truck linea. Wo build our paved highways with money furnished by owners of privi te cars.

We. the public, furnish the road bed for tbe trucks and stages and keen it in re pair for them. It is a raw deal and hence H is encouraging to find a city council with tbe good judgment and rigbt perspective such as that of Eu gt-ne seems to have in this instance This is the first time since Iteforra struck us that a ci council has not taken advantugo of un opportunity to sock it to a public utility. Forcing the Railroads (Salem Capital Journal) The railroad situation in Oregon is due to the fact that railroads were not constructed to develop Oregon but merely as branch lines for rail roads built to develop California or Washington. Tho railroads only toucb the borders bence Oregon has not developed as her sister states. With' out railroads, interior development lias been impostible and what con struction there has been,, has been of feeders for main hues compelling a round-about outlet. Thut the latent resources of this neglected empire justify the construe. tion of railroads is now an establish ed fact and if the railroads them selves do not act volunatrily to com plete the railroad map of Oregon they will nave to tict under federal com pulsion.
