like other property taxes, has broken down. While all
schools have opened this fall many are doing so entirely on
faith and on heavy sacrifice on the part of teachers who
have not only taken a cut but a chance on getting their pay
until warrants become cash.
The situation may right itself to some extent if the farm
income turns out to be as good as some believe it will be. If
j the farmer makes money on his crop this year, taxes will
probably be one of the first matters attended to.

WHAT IS THE HOME LOAN PLAN?
FOR SCHOOLS
The Oregon legislature, if and when it meets in special
session in October, will, in add'tion to providing funds for
the winter relief program in Oiegon, also be requested to
create a fund for the emergency support of schools handi
capped by the delinquency in tax payments in the various
counties.
C. A. Howard, state superintedent of public instruc
tion, estimates that at least $1,000,000 will be needed to
keep all of the schools open during the next year unless

TIMES ARE BETTER
Secretary of
Labor Mrs. Perkins
should be the best of authority on the
matter of economic conditions in the
United States. Her late report on the
progress of Industrial recovery Is most
cheering. Here Is a summary:
The number of people who found
employment In factories In August was
380,000; In the non-manufacturing
groups, 370.000.
The factory employment gain over
July was 6.4 per cent and the payroll
increase 11.6 per cent.
Mrs. Perkins reported a gain of 2,-
200,000 in employment In both manu
facturing and non-manufacturing In
dustries since March, the low point.
This, she points out, was a gain of 29.9
per cent.
On the other side of the picture, Mrs.
Perkins pointed out th at the unem
ployment is yet 28.4 per cent below the
normal In 1926 and that payrolls are
forty-eight per cent below that year.
The August employment index, how
ever, reached the highest point in more
than two years and the payroll figures
were the highest since December, 1931.
Of eighty-nine industries surveyed,
elghty-one reported increased employ
ment last month and eighty-three had
higher payrolls as compared with those
of July.
In current street comment there
is considerable discussion as to what, if
any, progress is actually being made in
the effort to revive industry but fig
ures, covering the nation, are the best
of evidence.—Ex.
Designed to assist home owners in danger of fore
closure by mortgagors, the home owners’ loan corpora
tion act was passed by congress last June and in this dis
trict is functioning under C. J. Shorb, La Grande, district
manager.
A loan on a home may be obtained amounting to 80
per cent of its value for a period of 15 years at 5 per cent
interest, provided the holder of the mortgage will accept
government bonds. If not, the government will advance
cash to pay off indebtedness that is not more than 40 per
cent of the value of the property. Inf either case it will ad
vance cash to pay off delinquent taxes. If there is no mort
gage, a small cash loan may be obtained to pay delin
quent taxes or make necessary repairs. A cash loan draws
6 per cent interest.
There is no intention of the corporation entering into
the loan business in competition with existing loaning
agencies. Its mission is merely that of salvaging homes of
those people who are temporarily unable to meet their ob-
igations. The act should prove of much help to burdened
home owners.
