FOR. more than fifty yours flic State of Oregon has been engaged in the business of selling land and lending money, in the early days the business was parried on negligently and sometimes dishonestly. George E. Chamberlain and Oswald West changed the system and methods and showed how Ihe slate could conduct its land selling and money lending business, economically, hon- I'&u,) mm wiiu gruai oeiieiiL The land the slate has ernment and tlie money loaned is that received from the sale of such lands. The land is known as school land, and the money loaned is from what is known as the irreducible school fund which now amounts to about .$u,000,000. Is there any reason why the state should not sell other land for the benefit of the school fund if it could acquire it and sell it at a profit? There is one objection, and that is that speculation in land should not be encouraged for the reason that the price of land must be kept within cer tain limits or its cultivation will not be profitable. mi,.. ,w.i:..., ,.r ii. ..t..i.. ,.i Li i... i .. t ii i. i m- jjujii.y in wiu &IUIU SIIUU1U uu lu Keep uiu price 1)1 land within the reach of the man who is willing to work it. The stale is lending over iji(i,()00,()00 without loss at the interest rate ol six per annum a year on farm lands. These loans are. of great benefit lo the farmers and the stale. But the demand for such loans on unquestioned security is throe times the amount available. Many thousand far mers would find the road to m-osnerilv through dcvclon- nient of their lands and increased production obtain long time loans at six per cent. "Why does not the state lend more1? Because it has no more. Can the slate obtain more money for that pur pose? The slate can do so. Then why docs not the state do so? "lir II 1 l ucii, (tear reader you are nun is i or you io answer. .Just now you are being i Ihe stale lo build roads. That is a good plan in hc minds ol many. 11 will mean the of money and give good highways and will bring tourists and develop llie stale. If that is a good scheme, better scheme to build better farms? Good roads wear out, and produce nothing -to eat, wear or sell. A good farm property tended lasts forever and produces annual wealth. The .J a pin use proverb says, "Agriculture is the oacic-none ol prosperity." ize it. WJiv not begin lo s Suij)ose the state of Oregon could lend .$50,000,000 to Ihe fnrmcrs of Oregon in the next five or ten years on tho unionization plan at six percent, what effect would it have on our agricultural production and exports? Jf it would be of great benefit why not do it? The people of this slate can furnish the money by vot ng for issuance of bonds lo bear not more than four ner out interest lo be sold at, not less than par lo run fifty eai-s. The bonds would be sold from time to time as he money was needed for loans. It could be loaned at u'x percent as the state school fuid is now loaned, but for i longer time The extra two per cent would of course constitute a inking fund and be re-loaned and at the end of fifty years vould retire the bonds and the state wouhl have the'prin ipal of twenty or fifty million to add to its irreducible ehool fund. Or tho extra two per cent could be used to n'ovide for printing school books in Oregon and furnish- ng llinm Iree ol cost to the school children. Another benefit would be conferred by purchasing roin this fund four per cent bonds of cities and counties (hat, would meet certain requirements at par and thereby savo cities and counties from one to three percent intercsi. Provision could be made that the purchase of said bonds should be made after public notice, and if no legal proceed ings were instituted before the purchase, that the bonds would be iiiconteslible thereafter. When the war is over American bonds will doubtless be in demand as never before, and next to Ihe national bonds the state bond is the highest security. ' The farmers of Oregon have alwavs been handicapped oy me iacic oi long nine loans ,J' J . ll.,. I. .. It! ll i Hbiuiiuic me nciiciu mai would roads are improved, railroads built and population in creases farm lands grow in value; the security will con xtautly increase. The effect of such a plan would be lo lower the interest rale losix percent in nearly every part of the state. The hankers would not be hurl because their increased busi ness would more than compensate for the reduction of iuteret, Stagnation would be replaced by activity. Oregon is a debtor state. We must borrow money for development. We ought to get it as a mere matter of business at the lowest possible interest rate, for the les we send out for interest the more we keep tit home. M'he people acting through their state government, can get money cheaper than they can as individuals. With such a fund available for farm loans, the people of this state could build a great dairy industry that would in lime produce enough in four or live years to repay the whole Ixuid issue. The dairy business requires more capital than the aver age farmer can command. .If he gets it now he pays eight or ten nr ctuit for a short period. Tho difference be tween a six per cent loan for ten or twenty years and ten ner cent loan for one or two years, spells the difference between kuccoss and failure.' This is as true of com munities as well as individuals. 'Phis state must have outside capital to develop its re source, but it must eomo from a source that will enable the borrower to sloop well aftor he signs tho mortgage be fore he Iin to begin hunting for another loan to take up the find one. The people of Oregon have tho making of their own laws and through that power their own biuiueiis and eco iiojnic salvation. Tho plan outlined needs no now or com plicated machinery to carry it out.
