a position to say a word of warning
as to tho effect of tho Intorest

constitutional limit upon the rato of

Includes bonds, mortgages and notes,
and to 4 per cont for money borrow

reasonable return. A considerable
proportion of their Investments have
been In Oregon municipal bonds,
which my company purchased and
sold to them. Yet In order to at
tract their Investment, It was neces
sary that these Oregon municipal
bonds yield an Interest return that
would compare with the return
yielded by municipal bonds Issued In
other states or by government
bonds.

Rer. and Mrs, R. T. Cooklngham

celebrating their blrthdaya which
come on tho same day. ,
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Morrltt had a
dinner party for iho Agency visitors
at their homo here today.
Mr. and Mrs. Merrltt havo but re

school at Ban Francisco. j
yield from 6 per cent up to as
high as "H per cent, depending on
conditions of maturity. It is obvl
as that if tbo Interest rate Is limit
ed by constitution to S per cent that
there would be no market for Ore
gon bonds. Oregon Investors would
purchase bonds of other states.
I-argo sums are Invested by Ore
gon Inventors In other forms ot obli
gation Industrials, mortgages, bus
iness loans and banking. The aim
of these Investors is to reallio a re
turn somewhat larger than Is ob
tainable from municipal or govern
ment bonds. Were these Investors
denied tbo right to receive more
than S per cent Interest on such
loans or Investments made In Ore
gon, thoy would purchase securities
from other states.
The offect of this 6 per cent limi
tation would be to withdraw all In
vestments from, Oregon. Not oaly
would Oregon Investor refuse to
loan or invest In the state, but out
side Invostors would shun Oregon as
a plague. The result' would be that
Industry, agriculture and develop
ment would languish. With this
withdrawal of capital prosperity
would ceaao, and be replaced by hard
tlmos. poverty und want. Tho Inves
tors would not suffer, as they could
ohtnln tholr return from othor
states, but tho farmer, business men
man
would suffer ruinous losses. 'Labor
would suffer most of all, through tho
cciwntlon of employment that would
be Inevitable when capital was with
drawn from Industry und public
work. .
Tho flow of m'onoy for investment
cannot bo controlled by law. All
that It rnn accomplish Is to shut
money out of tho statu which adopts
a' foolish limitation. The net result
of Oregon adopting this amendment
would bo to shut money out of the
state, stlHo prosperity, throttle In
dustry, destroy enterprise and Im
poverish labor. Aa'a measure It Is
s-lcldal, and.it should be voted down

It these wants, together with tho
wants ot tbo Klamath project, ara
fully satisfied, there should be no
valid objection to utilizing the re
mainder of the waters of Upper
Klamath lake and Klamath river to
Irrigate landa in Shasta valley ta
California.
Should the government build a
dam at the head of Link river, It
would also probably be feasible for It
to build the Horse Fly dam, thereby
Impounding waters In Horse Fly res
ervoir sufficient to irrigate the Tale

could also require the people In
