Would Keep Rural Credits From Oregon

After years of preparation, which in
volved an extensive study of the sys.
tenn used in European countries, con
gress has passed law providing for
rural credits. Much of the work of put
ting this new system for the develop
ment of the United States into opera
tion has already been accomplished. But
if the single tax bill ON the November
ballot is adopted, Oregon will be shut
out from participating in the benefits
of the rural credits act.
r. Furthermore, the statewide campaign
for a system of state rural credits will
go for naught if the single tax amend
ment is adopted, for this system, like
that of the federal government, is bas-
ed upon the integrity of present land
titles.
A section of the federal act provides
that emo such loan shall exceed so per
cent of the value of the permanent, in
sured improvements thereon, said value
to be ascertained by appraisal" Ano-
ther section provides that the commits
sioner shall examine the laws of every
state regarding land titles and assure
himself (with advice of the attorney
generaD as to whether or not they as
sure the holders of first mortgages ade-
quate safeguards; and il not, such state
may be declared ineligible to partici-
patton in the benefits Of the farm loan
law.
The single tax bill, framed to force
all land out of private hands and into
state ownership through excessive taxes
or Gland rentals", appears on the bal
lot under the name of the "Full Rental
Value Land Tax and Homemakers Loan
Fund Amendment" to the state consti-
tution II is the first initiative meas.
ure. The rural credits bill, with which
il is often confused because of the title,
is the seventh initiative measure.
On all sides it is acknowledged that
Oregon is state which needs the in
vestment Of outside capital to develop
its wonderful resources. Other states,
however, have great mineral wealth,
forests, and great water powers as well
as have Oregon. The man with money
finds opportunities beckoning to him
from every point of the compass.
How will the capitalist consider in.
vesting his money in state which even
allows confiscatOry measure to 90 on
its BALLOT 1t is generally believed that
adoption of the single tax bill win re-
suit in its being thrown out by the
courts because of unconstitutionality
But what view will be taken by Eastern
capital of a state which depends upon
court decision to knock out vicious
laws its people have passed through ut

by single tax adherents one of the stock
arguments was that "The man who is
holding raw land idle will be forced to
cultivate it and not merely speculate
with it. But fine-sounding phrases do
not disguise the fact that the man who
has come to Oregon within the last few
years and is working hard to convert
land covered with brush and stumps in
to q real farm will, under this scheme
be made to pay the same per acre that
the owner of prosperous, improved
farm will pay. This is looking on the
other side of the measure now named
ON the November ballot the Full Rent
al Value Land Tax and Homemakers'
Loan Fund Amendment. That is but
one of the calamitous results of this
scheme. II is a single tax under a new
the voters to confuse it with the state
rural credits bin, which appears later
ON the ballot.
Within the state of Oregon are some
100000 acres of Carey act projects land
and $4,000 acres of school land. None
of this great area can be sold if the
"Full Rental Value Land Tax and
Home makers Loan Fund Amendment -
to the state constitution is adopted by
the voters this year. The bill specifi-
cally says that the state shall not sell
any land, that being one of the few
perfectly unmistakable clauses the mea-
sure contains.
The policy of absentee landlordism
is TO prevail for the state, by the very
nature of things, can be nothing but an
absentee landlord; and, acting through
its agents, be unable to show mercy but
Lound to collect the last penny of rent,
whether crops fail or not. Such a con
dition-renting by five.year leases the
property they now own outright-will
be what the farmers of Oregon must
face if this amendment is adopted and
its provisions ever made operative,
The measure is drawn to force all
land out of the present owners hands
and into state ownership. 1t will accom-
plish that purpose beyond doubt unless
the voters can crush it with their bal
lots. This measure is the first initiative
bill on the ballot. Its voting numbers
are 306 yes and 307 no.
Socialism seeking to put all forms of
wealth into common fund out of which
each individual shall, theoretically, re-
eeive his share, is generally considered
"a revolutionary plan of distribution.
But the single tax bill which appears
on this years ballot under the mislead
ing title Of "Full Rental Value Land
Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund Am
endment" is not as revolutionary but
far less fair than socialism, for it is
drawn to force all land into state ow-
nership but leaves every other form Of
property untouched.
