BOOSTING RURAL CREDITS.

60N0AA&N0 AsSt&<A1 SAs4~1A ~
The principle of rural credits has
been pretty well supported in the
public mind. the national government
by congressional enactment having
given it endorsement and life. The
people Of Oregon are to vote upon
the initiated measure next November,
q measure through which an annual
saving Of over s75O.O00 is claimed
Dr. Macpherson. Of the state agri-
cultural college. is doing valiant ser
vice in support Of the measure. His
department, the bureau of organiza-
tion and markets. has made thorough
investigation Of the rural credits sys-
tenn. and recently he made the fol-
lowing comment upon the pending
bill:
'It means an end to the perpetual
worry and expense Of mortgage re-
newing. It means an end to fore
closures, lost homes and blighted
hopes. It means better equipped
farms and a greater rural prosperity.
This in turn means more business for
railroads, factories and stores and
moro work for laborers In our cities.
Although agriculture is the basic
industry Of Oregon. our farmers are
now far from being prosperous. In
addition to high interest rates. the
long and expensive freight hauls to
distant markets and inflated land
values have placed Oregon agricul-
ture under an almost unbearable
handicap. It is estimated that the
average Oregon farm is not making
wages at two per cent on the invest
ment represented.
'dThe farm debt Of Oregon secured
by real and chattel mortgage is es-
timated conservatively at s30,000.-
600. On this debt the farmers are
paying an average rate of about sA
per cent interest. Adding to this the
cost Of renewal and commission, the
average rate is probably but little
under sA per cent.
''It is the purpose Of the proposed
constitutional amendment to take the
burden out Of the farm mortgage IN
cubus OF the state. It proposes to
give the farmer a period of 36 years
III WHlCu " pay ulo lhOItbd6C. iue
actual rate OF interest is s per cent
The cost Of title and land appraisal
varies from SO to $50. The farmer
pays on one per cent OF the original
sum borrowed each year. that is q
payment Of SIX per cent year will
be suficient to pay the interest and
cost Of operation and wipe out the
debt entirely in a period Of thirty
six years.
"The system Is inexpensive. The
loan funds will be supplied on thu
credit Of the state, which can obtair
lower rates OF interest and bettel
terms than any OF It's subdivisions Of
any individual. The cost Of opera
ton in loaning the state school fund.-
Is only two-tenths OF one per cent
and this system will be handled II
much the same way by the stat,
land board"

Former Chief of
Sioux City Police
Granted New Trial

Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 18.-Georgc
Peierce, formerly chief of police OF
Sioux City, was granted a new trial
by the supreme court of Iowa yester-
day.
Peierce was convicted about two
years ago in the district court of
Woodbury. county on the charge of
soliciting bribes from vice resorts for
protection.
The opinion, handed down by Judge
Salinger, gives as the chief reason for
reversal the introduction of improper
evidence into the record. The de-
cision holds that the defense should
have been permitted to show the real
character of certain witnesses who
testified against Peierce.
Peerce is now a resident of Omaha.

SteHens to Lecture
On Mexico for Press Club
Noted Magazine Writer and
Newspaper Mar Will Mar
rate His Personal
Observations.

Lincoln Steffens, noted journalist,
who has spent the greater part of
two years in Mexico, wintering at
Vera Cruz and at Mexico City, is
to lecture under the auspices of the
Omaha Press club at the Young
Mems Christian association audito-
rum Wednesday evening at o'clock.
He is to talk on Mexico in terms
of the United States. He has heard
both sides of the controversy in Mex
leo and the American side also. Such
understanding as | had of our con-
dition at home" says Mr.. Stefcns,
gave me the key to Mexico, before
and during the revolution there" Mr..
Steffens, it is said, does not try to
impose his views on Mexico upon
anybody. He tells a plain story
the story OF the clumsy, violent,
often corrupt, but fundamentally earn
est attempt Of the Mexican people
to solve their problem, which is at
the bottom our problem, the problem
of social living.
Mr.. Steffens will speak Thursday
noon before the Commercial club at
a public affairs luncheon.

Socialists to Hold
Big Convention in
London This Winter

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. L.
As many as fourteen different nation
al sections are being p'vited to take
part in the socialist conference of
entente countries, which is being or
ganized by the Socialist lnterna-
tionale of this city, namely, Britain
France, Italy, Portugal, Canada, Au
strala and New Zealand. The dele
gates of the entente socialists are
to meet in London, probably in
January next, the conference having
been called on the initiative Of the
party. in France. More significance
naturally attaches to the decisions
which may be arrived at than was the
case with the less influential confer
ence of neutral socialists held at
The Hague some months since
The program, as published here,
aims at establishing common action
with a view to directing the policy
of their respective countries in the
direction OF non-anneXatlon, the guar
anteeing of the rights of the nations
by international institutions, and the
exclusion from all economic treaties
of everything that would contain the
germs of fresh conflicts. 1t will be
recalled that while the international
socialist bureau is still in touch with
the parties of the central empires as
well as of the entente countries, it
has not yet succeeded in its ultimate
object OF bringing all socialist par
ties together again on common
agreed policy in regard to the war.
1t is doubtless hoped that the coming
London conference will bring the
desired goal nearer.

German Women Work
In All Lines of Trade

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Berlin, Nov. l0.-According to the
official municipal insurance bureaus,
the number of women now employed
industrially has advanced to AIS per
cent of all workers, as against 206
per cent little over thirty years ago
1t rose from 24.5 per cent, in 1907,
an average year, to 36.3, in 1914; to
Az, in 1915, and to AS, i'll 1916,
Whereas the number OF women
now at work almost exactly equals
the number of men, in some indus
tries female help far outweighs nu-
merically male help. This is especi-
ally the case in the textile and the
paper industries, though the excess
of women employed seems in no
manner to have !essened the number
of women who are now offering their
services.
