OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
LAwFoR LoANING SCHOOL FUND SHOULD
BE AMENDED.

The law under which the common
school fund of the state has been
loaned for some years past requires
the security given to be real estate
and of three times the value of the
money loaned exclusive of perishable
improvements and that interest there
on shall be charged at the rate of
ten per cent. per annum. During the
last two years foreign companies
have rushed money INTO the state to
loan, charging therefor from s to 8
percent interest, and in the majority
of cases leaning to the extent of one,
half the value of real estate. This
relaxation of rules by such companies
has made it difficult to at all times
loan the school fund for the rate of
interest required by law, and also to
get the security to equal in value
three times the amount of the loan.
AS parties would generally borrow
where they could upon the most rea-
sonable terms which has had the
effect much of the time TO prevent a
a great deal of school money from
being loaned, thereby loosing to the
support of the schools considerable
interest. The present law nndrr
which school loans are being made
should Ger, ainly be amended so as to
at least give the board of school
commissioners discretionary power
to loan for not less than per cent.
with real estate security of not less
than twice the cash value Of the
amount loaned exclusive OF perish
able improvements. That amount of
value for the security is ample il
those who make the loans exercise
due care, and if they do not exercise
the proper care they would be just
as likely to make loans poorly secur
ed no matter what the restrictions
were as to the value of security.
With the amendments suggested III"
difficulty will be experienced in keep
ing the school fund loaned upon good
security.

THAT ENDOWMENT PROPOSITION.

The proposition of Mr.. Willard te
endow the Oregon State University y
with $4,000, coming as it does IL,
this particular time, and heard Of the
first time when the legislature is in
session, and also at a time when Nj.
Willard is constructing various lines
through the state, the future profits of
which depend much, upon the action
of the Legislature i'll regard TO those
enterprises, certainly comes at time
to be regarded with but little favor
by those who have thought seriously
Of the disposition OF railroad monop-
olles to over reach the peoples
rights. While it is the desire of
every citizen of Oregon, having the
true interests of the state at heart, TO
wish all of our educational institn-
tions prosperity and have all the
financial aid possible 10 get, under all
circumstances consistent with the
public good, yet there is certainly
none of our people who like to see
institutions of this kind placed under
improper or injudicious obligations
to those money powers whose inter
ests tend to the oppression of the
people. Our educational institutions
under the theory of our republican
government are for the purpose of
perpetuatlng our posterity and Amer
lean institutions free from oppression
and in accordance with American
ideas of free and independent gov
ernment. In order to do so effectu-
ally our educational interests, the
only safeguard of that freedom and
independence, should certainly be
kept aloot and entirely free from the
influences of those extensive railroad
interests, the corrupt influences Of
which to-day are doing more 10 un-
dermine and overturn our republican
institutions than any other. Al
though our state is young and her
institutions of learning have to con-
tend with financial difficulties, yet it
is much better that our state by tax
alton or some way within her own
means, provide financial measures
necessary for the support OF her in
stitulions of learning rather than TO
accept such an unholy proposition as
the one under consideration.
