NO MONEY TO LOAN IN OREGON !
If Interest Measure Passes in November
Will Cripple Business and Drive Money
Over Into Washington.
If the proposed constitutional a-
mendment fixing the rate of interest
on money carries at the November
election, people will have to go over
into Washington to borrow money,
as all of the financial institutions
of the state of Oregon will have
to go there to do business should the
people give the measure a favorable
vote. The measure is another freak,
similiar to the newspaper rate bills
that were initiated by Jackson, of
the Oregon Journal, to injure the
newspaper industry. The new freak
measure initiated by J. F. Albright,
of Oregon City, aims to injure the
banking business. Instead of having
flve prosperous banks in Tillamook
county, should the measure carry,
they .will simply act as agents for
some bank in the state of Washing-
I ton.
Looking at the measure from all
| angles, any one with ordinary com-
' -.non sense can see that it will drive
money out of the state and those who
I want to borrow money for any pur-
! pose will have to get it elsewhere,
i and they will have to pay the pre­
vailing rate of interest.
I
This is how the bill reads:
*
Sec. 9. The legal rate of interest
in this state shall be four per cent
per annum, and no more, on all mon­
eys after the same shall become due,
but on contract the rate of five.per
cent per annum, and no more, may
be charged by express agreement of
I
the parties, which rate shall be in­
clusive of all brokerage and commis­
sions.
No doubt, some persons will be
foolish - enough to think that they
will be able to borrow money at 4
and 5 per cent if the measure carries,
but they will not be able to obtain it,
any more than if some crank initiat­
ed a bill and it became a law that
flour should not be sold for more
than $1.00 a sack.
It is simply another case of one
person endeavoring to butt in and
ruin other person’s businesses.

Would Cause Industrial Stagnation
Should the Four Per Cent Interest
Measure which will be voted on in
November become a law. it would be
the greatest curse that evr happened
to Tillamook county or the State of
Orgon. No person who wanted to bor­
row money could do so, because no
money could be had at that rate
when a higliei rate could be obtain­
ed in other States. It would drive
Oregon money out, and at the same
time would keep outside money from
investment In the Sstate, which am­
ounts to more than one half of the
total investments. It would mean
that all mortgages, notes, and ac­
counts would have to be paid when
due, or suit would be brought to col­
lect. Mills would shut down, and dll
industrial developments would cease,
t sounds like U’Renism and that a-
lone should be enough to defeat the
measure.
A. M. HARE
Financial Conditions Should Not Be
Tampered With
I am in receipt of yodr letter re
Questing me to write a short article
on “What Effect the Reduction of
the Legal State Rate of interest would
have on the Business and Industrial
Development of Tillamook County
should Proposed Measure Reducing
Int ¡rest to 4 and 5 per cent Pass?”
1'his can be answered in a very
few words. In my opinion, if legislat­
ion is passed as contemplated, for­
eign investors outside of the state
could not be Induced to invest their
money In securities within the state,
the investors within the state as well
would be very foolish to invest their
money in low rate interest, when
they can buy securities representing a
higher tale of interest income. As It
is today many thousands of dollars
in captial are’being taken from our
state for investment In Canadian
bonds which brings higher rate of
interest on very desirable security.
I would not like to see the financial
conditions of our state tampered
with by adverse legislation at this
critical time.
ROLLI E WATSON
credit in one form or another, and
credit means borrowing.
Tillamook county is comparatively
new in its development. The great
industry here new is dairying, but
probably not more than 12 per cent
of its land adapted to the raising of
pasture is in grass. It is still un­
cleared and in trees and brush and
logs. The same is true of the state
at large.
Our state and county have not the
means within themselves with which
to finance their development. Money
must be borrowed and brought in
from other centers. We, here in Till­
amook county, are in the pioneering
stag of our economic life. And as is
the case with pioneers in general, we
are long on natural resources but
short on cash. We want to expand
our business and grow, but to do so
must borrow heavily at times. In
order to borrow we must offer at­
tractive security and pay the going
rates of interest.
In my judgement the proposed a-
mendment reducing the legal rate of
interest on Ioans is far too drastic in
its terms, and if adopted would stifle
industry, because it would stop the
loaning of new money. It would pre­
vent outside money from coming in­
to the state.
It would be a cruel law and do un­
told harm to the commonwealth.
This would be particularly true here
in Tilamook county because It is now-
just entering upon an era of great
lumber development and one that
will call for borrowing in an im­
mense volume. Such a law would
place a greater burden on the indus­
try than is could bear and prosper.
It could not compete with other com-
muities outside the 'state, more fav­
orably situated with respect to fin­
ancing. Our lumber industry would
languish, and so, also, would busi­
ness in general.
The way to safety lies in voting
down the proposed amendment.
