Dear Mr. Bensenlcht
I have sent thla morning a letter
to Harry Corbett stating my view of
this situation at present and urging
Mm to see that the statement which
Williams submitted to you and Harry
last Saturday be published Imme
diately In the newspapers. I am pre
paring such a statement to be pub
llahed In the local newspapers my
self. Since writing the letter to Mr. Cor
bett I have come to the conclusion
that in order to clear the skirts of
our committee we must not only pub
lish such a statement, but we must
go on record as a committee, through
you as chairman, atatlng to the board
In Washington that we unhesitatingly
recommend to them that they lnv
mediately paas back to Portland the
authority to proceed with these loans
on the same basis as the Ban rran-
clsco regional Is now proceeding.
I want to especially call to your
attention the attached copy of letter
from Mr. Nagle in which he states
they have made loans of 40c per box
which Is Intended to cover only the
growing charge, and does not Include
harvesting and does not Include pack
ng. If we were granted the same
privilege and I think our committee
should demand It, not one single one
Krf these loans would have to go to
Washington. Our committee Is being
placed In an Impossible position and
the big criticism that will ensue will
Undoubtedly center upon you

The Regional Agricultural Credit
corporation, a subsidiary of the Re
construction Finance corporation, au
thorized to make production loana,
takes Into consideration first, In oon
seotlon with loans on . doclduous
crops, the financial statement of the
applicant: his record of (production
and sales for a period of three years
past: varieties; and whether or not
bo la a marginal producer. If he has
any reasonable equity In his proper
ties, taking Into consideration a rea
sonable value of the Improved land,
as against his liabilities, and if, tsk
tng marketing conditions Into con
sideration and varletea produced,
there la also a reasonable ninrgln.
baaed on last year's sales, between hU
production and harvesting, the loan
la generally made on a budget basis
for production purposes, allowing 40
cents for a box of pears. THIS IS EX
CLUSIVE OF HARVESTING EX

MATED, FOR PIOKINO AND PACK

IN OTHER WORDS, PUTT1NO THE

80 CENTS.
In addition to the above security,
which represents a crop mortgage, a
chattel mortgage Is required on sll
material Inventoried on the property,
together with a subordination of all
creditors" Hens. These subordinations
are generally for the crop season, but
In some Inatancea a subordination for
the enttre period of the loan Is re
quired. .
Practically no loana have been made

two varieties produced In California,

The San Franclaco office or the RACO
has had no applications for loans on
Belleiteure, and In the few applies

allowed. . .
If there is any additional Informa

Garden homes are the result or
modern architectural practice. Do
mestic architecture In America has
gone through several phases of de
velopment. In the main we have ar
rived at more or leas conservative
lines. The designs of our small homes
In general are derived from the best
of foreign colonial types, as built In
various parts of our country.
The past ten years, however, have
brought about a definite change in
floor-plan arrangement; whereas the
types of exterior treatment have re
mained fairly steady, the Interior of
the house has changed completely.
Why?
The reason for this definite change
Is because of the automobile. Hav
ing accepted this type of family
snd personal transportation to the
degree we have, it naturally became
necessary to house one or more auto- 1
be required to pledge other collateral
In addition to his growing crop, and
such loans after first being approved
by the local executive committee,
must then be forwarded to Washing
ton for final approval by the recon
struction finance corporation board,.
'Wherever the total loan exceeds
16,000, regardless of the per box cost,
a grower's application must first be
approved by the local committee and
then forwarded to Washington for
final approval by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation board.
The local committee can only ap
prove loans not exceeding BSo per box
and not exceeding 916,000. In such
case where the applicant can submit
an Itemised budget showing that his
total coat of growing, harvesting and
packing will not exceed flflc per box
as per the following schedule:
Growing .. loo .
Harvesting 13c
Packing . 37o
the growing crop alone will be con
sidered sufficient collateral.
Loans will be made only to pro
ducers having a good operating rec
ord., and each and every loan will be
considered on Its individual merits.
It will not be the policy of the Re
gional Agricultural Credit corporation
to make loana to marginal operators.
no loans win be made to a grower
whose crop, based on past records,
Is B0 per cent O grade fruit, Nr.
funds will be advanced for packing
O grade fruit, and advances for har
vesting and packing are to be made
on an actual, rather than an esti
mated per box basts.
The opinion has been expressed
that many growers have withheld
filing their applications with the
Portland office, in the hopea that a
more liberal policy would be an
nounced. At present there la no In
dication that there will be any modi
fication In the regulations, and
growers In need of funds should Im
mediately arrange to file their appli
cations with the proper office. Grow
er In Oregon should make applica
tion through the Portland office.
Washington growers through the Spo
kane office, and Idaho growers
through the Boise office."

As a logical result of all this

INSIDE STORY OF
BALLOT ROBBERY
(Continued Irom rag One)
Fehl snd Bsnk hsd asked him lor
"ths law and the penalty If anything
happened to the ballots." and that
he contended against sny such pro
cedure. Several statements to the
authorities say that the orders were
to destroy all the ballots "don't
leave a one." The recount ol the
ballots was the cause ol deep concern
among leaders and the rank and tile
of the "congressmen" lor weeks, the
officials say.
Little If any consideration was
given to the matter of alibis, "but if
one Is needed, you will be at the
home of L. A. Banks, from It o'clock
to 3 a. m.". was asserted assurance.
The officiate claim that some of
the "higher-ups", under Indictment,
were stationed at strategic points, to
"Inspire confidence and lend dig
nity." One such was seen standing
across the street from the rear of the
courthouse, by several witnesses, who
were awakened by the departing
autos and went to the window In
their night dress, "to see what was
going on."
Two Recruited
Two of the Indicted men were in
veigled Into the bsllot thefts after It
velgled Into the ballot theft after It
cers. The two went to their auto
parked at the rear of the courthouse,
following the "congress" session. A
third man, also Indicted when ap
prised of what was occurring, said:
"I don't like Jennings; we'll take a
couple of sacks." The ballots were
thrown Into the auto.
The driver considered driving the
auto to the police station, but was
"afraid that the police would -not
believe the story." The ballots were
taken to a house In the Jacksonville
district. A 70-ycar-old woman, and
an 18-year-old girl, In the house.
have made affidavits and statements
that the ballots were burned In the
cook stove. Ashes and pieces of bal
lots were afterward! removed from
the stove. Most of the ballots were
burned In. the courthouse furnace.
or dumped Into Rogue river. The
latter were recovered, In a water
soaked condition.
More To Plead Guilty
Five or more" Indicted men are
scheduled to enter pleas of guilty, at
an early date. Judge Duncan was
called back to Klamath county late
yesieraay, ana tne date or his return
here Is indefinite.
Authorities reiterate their previous
statement, "the state has a complete
chain of evidence without a missing
link, supported by confessions and
corroborative testimony of citizens."
it is also said that many apparent
ly meaningless words and acts of
leaders, before the thefts, are reveal
ed as possessing significance. Banks'
dramatic construction of a crude
cross out of a match and his foun
tain pen, was Just one Instance. This
was the pre-arranged code, to the
"Inside circle," that the burning of
tne write-in votes had started. It Is
alleged by officers.

It was after a concert appearance and
the celebrated baritone, warned of an
approaching train, was hastily sing
ing several favorite compositions to
the great Joy of a large group of In
valids. His last song or what was
intended to be his final song, was
an aria from a celebrated opera. Tears
came to the eyes of two hopeless
cripples one of them with but one
leg. The singer questioned them and
found that the two had been "bud

Immediately vanished and It was not

happy, boarded a train that meant an
