One of the most . conservative In

with, the Equitable Savings & .Loan
Association - of Portland, of which.
Chas. E- Ladd is president.
They are represented In .Salem by
Mr. W.' A. Henderson, special agent.
Their depository in the city Is : .with
the Capital National Bank, where full

"Their investment Invites systematic
monthly; quarterly, semi-annual .; or
annual payments, and positively guar
antee 5 rer cent, but has 'earned In
the past about 9 er cent.
It guarantee is backed by a large
reserve fund and Its securities are all

an examination will show the perfect
fafety of its plan, t '
It not only offers a savins for the
man who desires to have means, but
an investment ton the man or means.
Their plan of making loans and re
paying them by easy monthly install
ments meets the wants of many to
either pay off a mortgage or build a
home.

applause of the whole House.
When the committee "rose and report

final passage a general discussion arose
and it deevloped that the political line
was pretty - sharply drawn upon the
bill. .
I tell you," said Mr.. Edwards, of
Lane, "thfe bill is all nonsense and it
should be defeated. Why I raise all
kinds of stock, including poultry, on my
ranch, and to legislate in favor of the

horses, cattle and hogs, is what I call
class legislation, and moreover, it is
money 'wasted, for it is not needed and
I consider It my duty to vote against it.

Multnomah, the representative of the

argument settled the nuestion onrp nri

favored it.
