WHY STRINGENT TIMES’
T is gem-rally admit ted that, while
there has been plenty of mom-j
in the Irnnk« and to loan on first
clas* farm mortgages during the
past war. there has existed a finan
cial stringency a dis|swition not to
«|H*nd money in investments hy our
moneyed men.
Just why this condition exist can
l»e, at least, partially accounted for
Alsiut the only sourr«-« of bringing
money from outside points to On-
gon. aie our wheat fields. Hocks,
dairies, stock, salmon industry and
lumtw-r
Other manufacturi«*« are
small
Our expenditures for ordi
nary family supplies, farm imple
ments. (mtronage of the mail order
houses, automobiles, etc., are the
things which attract money else
where.
Of course our merchant« supply
their stocks of goods from eastern
factories.
Our farm implements
are nearly all products of eastern
factories
likewise our pleasure
carriages, automobiles, etc. arc all
products of the east
Secretary of
State Olcott is authority for the
statement that Oregon has 22.000
or more automobiles
The average
cost of these machines is. probably.
fNiin each, making the cost of thia
one item more than fl7,000,000.
If to this we add what goes to the
mail order houses and what merch
ants pay for their goods, an immense
sum of money leaves the state,
never to return, unless we sell Ore
