HiUace Benlea Ouronw,
A REMEDY FOR HARD TIMES.
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

.Just now you are being

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. '

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. It is simply enlarging
