EX C H A NG E COMMENT
It is perhaps a waste of effort to
discuss at greater length the prepos­
terous bill, proposed by Initiation at
the coming election to limit the Ore­
gon rate o f Interest to 4 and 5 per
cent.
Contemplation of the disas­
ters that would follow such legisla­
tion render it absurd in the eyas of
any sane elector who takes time to
study it. Instead of being able to
borrow money at a. cheap rate of
interest, Oregon folk seeking loans
would be unable to secure funds at
all. Oregon money would seek other
investments.

that this has been so as we view the
mass of press agent stuff coming
from pseudo-managers of favorite

MARNE MEMORIAL POSTER
JIM ROACH USHERS IN SPRING
If there are any lingering doubts
iu our mind as to the advent of
spring they were dispelled this morn­
ing by the arrival of "Jim ” Roach,
" typographic nomad" emeritus, who
always appears just ahead of wild
geese, and is a sure sign o f spring.
"Jim " is the last of his kind. Time
was when the journeyman printer was
as common as the present day flivver.
But times^have changed. With the
advent of the machine and the many j
changes in the trade the day ot tbe[
typo drew to a close. But not f o r !

He kept on.
He knows j
the lay of every office in 14 states; j
he can glance at the "n ick" on
set of type and tell the color of the

shirt on the man that made it. He
treats a piece of advertising like a*
piece of sacred script and would fol­
low copy through hades if it were
written on asbestos. He has been a
printer half a century In fl member j
of the union since Gen. Grant was,
president for the second time. He
learned in a good school and he has
forgotten more about printing than
many a machine-made latter day
workman will ever know. He can
