The Detroit Tigers OF 1910 were up
against the same proposition that has
stopped 30 many other good clubs
that have won three big-league titles
IN q row. They just couldn't get 1t

Politics and business co not mix
and we fear that Idaho will come
to this conclusion that it is better
to separate these elements in the
handling of its school funds. On
the face of it, it would seem that
the state, by charging a low rate
of interest could secure the cream
Of the security, but as a matter Of
fact nothing of the sort occurs. The
common farmer, whose security is
the best on earth takes little or no
interest in politics. To him, it is
easier far to go to his local loan
broker, make application for his
loan and close che matter in a
short business like manner. True,
he pays a little more for the loan,
perhaps one per cent, nut he knows
with whom he is dealing and his
security does the business and he
needs no pull. On the other hand
the man who knows he has not
sufficient security for the amount he
wants, resorts to little politics and
the consequence is that the state
has perhaps purchased a piece OF
Indifferent land in the form of a
first mortgage. The red tape and
complications attending the making
OF loan through the state is so
formed and there is such a pull for
favoriteism by the politicians that
the advantage of the low interest
rate is more than overcome. Con-
sidering these things we are of the
opinion that the state land board
would serve the schools of the state
to much better advantage by in
vesting their funds in school bonds
and similar investments.

The STATE and
The FARM LOANS

From recent reports it seems that
the State Land Board is working
overtime these days owing to the
great mass of applications for farm
loans which they are receiving from
all over the state These applica-
lions we understand total half a
million dollars and have been sent
in from nearly every county in
Idaho. While on the face of
these reports it might seem that the
state was engaged in very worthy
line of business, little study of the
situation causes us to doubt the
wisdom of this class of investments
for our school funds. Disclosures
during the recent campaign revealed
some very interesting facts concern
ing the states farm loan operations
and we seriously doubt whether 1t
will be possible for our present
board to overcome these same OBJ
stacles. In tho first place one OF the
objections to this sort of paterna-
lism is that tho officers in charge
of making these loans find them
selves overcome with applications
from politicians to whom in a
degree they owe their positions.
Members of the legislature are often
eager applicants for heavy loans on
real estate and as disclosures have
shown other state officers think
themselves privileged to obtain mon
ey before the everyday farmer has a
chance. 1t is also discovered that
many of these loans have INSULT
Client security behind them. The
law of this state requires that funds
may only be loaned to one-third
of the valuation of the land ex-
elusive of any buildings. But who
puts this valuation on the land?
1t is done by an appointee of the
board, who is not only under obli-
cations to the board for his posi-
ton at the peresent and in the flu
ture, but often to politicians in his
district where tho applications are
made. The idea possess many peo-
Pile that the state can enter business
and compete with business men but
they fail to take into consideration
tho fact that just as certainly as a
politician is charged with a business
operation where judgment is needed
he is bound to be Influenced by the
politics that are his stock In trade.
