Oregon on "Velvet" by he 28th
Tho the Fourth Liberty Loan does not open for actual
subscription until Saturday, September 28th it is the plan
of the Oregon Liberty Loan Managers that all preliminary '
work shall be done before that time.
The making out of quotas, the thinking and talking and
figuring ; the hemming and hawing EVERYTHING that
can possibly be used as a "weut-a-whiU" excuse must be
. done away with before that date Even the pUdging -TwitWriptfona
and the signini of application are PRE
LIMINARIES which must be' completed. ..

Parlor and pink tea" BoUhevlkl lB
America are torrldly scored by Theo
dore Roosevelt la aa editorial la
Thursday's Portland Telegram. Soma
of tbeeo "parlor" anarchists aro
harmless, some even have good Inten
tions, he says, but most of theaucon
stltute a grave menace to American
Ideals. The misguided followers of
Townsley and Haywood, character
ised by Roosevelt aa the American
Lenlne and Trotsky, must bo reclaim
ed from tho paths of class hatred,
preached by their leaders, or the
foundations of the republic will be
undermined. No keener analysis of
tho menace to the American Bolsho
rlkl haa been made than Roosevelt's
printed on the editorial page of The
Telegram.

One can either par tea per cent aad
tho balance. In Siir other payments,
or ho can pay tor his bond la full.
If bonds are paid for la full your
bank remits la full to the Govern
ment oa the same day. If only tea
per cent Is paid, then1 the bank re
mits tea per cent and the other pay
ments when, the time for them cornea,
Deferred payments of ,20 per cent
each will be due this time on Novem
ber 11, December 19, January II,
and So per cent, the final payment, oa
January 30th.
If you pay for your bond In full at
once, Interest on your money starts
at once. But bonds which are.iasusd;
by the Government to be turned over
when final payment Is made carry tho
same coupons as bonds turned over
oa cash payments. It Is for this rea
son that the Government charges the
banks 4 per cent on the deferred pay
ments and the banka charge the sub
scribers the same amount of Interest
a matter of course. There has
been more or less misunderstanding
over this Interest charge in the past.
The amounts are of course small, be
ing 39 cents on a $50 bond under tho
terms of the last loan and probably
about the aame amount this time.
We hope to start Monday, the llth,
to take voluntary pledges, but cannot
start till we know, where we are to
land. ARTHUR R. WILSON.
