belong 10 the people who are liv-

70 those coming here ia the fn-
lure, and surely we Of the present
ARE entitled TO all the benefits pos

Ia other words, the state is get

The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1916-03-23

The greatest handicap 10 the
development Of our state at this
time is the high rate Of interest
our farmers, merchants and man
ufacturerS are compelled 10 pay
70 get money 10 make their inn
prOyenents. If we could mobilize
the one hundred million dollars
into loans the next few years at
a low rate Of interest, on the one
per cent amortization plan, Ida
no would not need government
aid 70 get cheap money
We now have between 1900 and
400 farm loans, made on lands
IN almost every county Of the
state. These loans range IN
amounts from 5000 to $20,0 and
cover from five TO 1900 acres.
The records show that small
borrower pays both principal and
interest more promptly than the
larger one, and any banker viii
testify that ten loans Of 800 are
safer than one loan Of $1,000 based
on an equal security While, in
my judgement. il would be very
to unnecessarily restrict
large loans, the small loan should
always have the preference, re-
gardless Of the higher proportion

in the state. In any event, the

The recent extension Of time
for the payment Of state land pur-
chases from l6 to 40 years, on the
partial payment plan, has notice
ably stimulated buying and mat
erially increased the bids. How
much more money the state would
get from the sale Of its lands by
a material reduction Of interest
and a long time amortization (the
system of applying a portion Of
a periodical payment on the prin-
eipal until the debt is iiquidated,
or Of charging off a portion Of

but that II would be extremely
profitable 10 the state by the I'M
crease III the value Of its lands
none viii even doubt and that
other lands would rise in value
Is also self-cyident. That every
school district, taxpayer and bor-
rover Of money would be bene-
fitted is also just as self-evidenf.
Every dollar Of increase ia the
value OF the states lands adds
just that much more 70 the
amount Of the endowment funds
which will earn interest for all
time. and as this interest is all
used for the expenses of schools
and the state institutions, il re-
duces taxes accordingly.
SO far as the future sale Of our
land is concerned, il would well
pay the state 10 sell on a FIVE per
cent basis that is four percent
interest and one per cent amor
tization Of the principal This
would certainly enhance the price
Of the land far beyond the differ
ence in interest for a few years,
besides the increased price would
be IN the permanent endowment
funds and would be to loan for
an times.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1916-03-23

IN fact is too small to consider.
That small loans win aid more
people should be a sufficient rea-
son for the loan and for the cheer
ful assistance Of every official in
whatever station he may serve.
The long time amortization

successfully ia many places and
always with great advantage to
the people. II has the direct ef-
feet of offsetting faxes, stimulat-
ing improvements Of lands IN par

the states resources in general,
and increases very materially the
desirability Of the new land to be
sold.

making loans, follows the method

Judiciary.
A long step forward in the matter

taken in the constitutional amend

Judges by the people and increasing
the supreme court from three to six
Judges. 1t is believed that the justice
courts as administered under the ex-
listing fee system, are an expensive
nuisance; and so far from contribut-
ing to the dispensation of justice are,
often the instruments of gross oppres-
sion and wrong OF which the poor and
helpless are the principal victims. The
