The rural credits constitutional
amendment drafted by the committee
appointed by the drainage, irrigation
and rural credits conference whica met
in Salem, March 8 and 10, is now be-
fore the people upon the initiative
petitions.
As it stands, this measure has prob
+ably combined within it the wisdom OF
larger number of people than any
bill that has been submitted to the
people Of Oregon since the adoption Of
the constitution. The committee in
charge is composed of G. f. Spence,
master of the state grange; j. d..
Brown, state president Of the farmers
union; and T. H Burchard, ex-presi-
dent of the Oregon state federation
of labor.
The committee, and those who have
worked with them on this bill claim
neither honor nor originality for
themselves. They have been assemb-
lers Of ideas and not ordinations. They
have consulted farmers in all parts Of
the state, lawyers, bankers, real estate
dealers, statesmen, and professors Of
Agricultural economies. They have ac-
cumulated a large amount Of diverse,
and frequently conflicting, opinion as
to tne form and content Of the bill.
Out of the whole mass they have seq
regated the provisions as they appear
upon the petitions.
( 1t was realized that the new bill
forms a somewhat radical departure
/ from established custom in the United
States. Consequently, although there
was a large amount OF precedent in
/ the old world and in new countries,
such as the Australian commonwealtns
1 New Zealand, South Africa and the
Canadian provinces, the committee de-
cided to make a very conservative be-
ginning. The paramount aims were
absolute safety on the one hand, and
safe guarding the system from abuse
Iby land speculation on the other The
careful student Of the measure will
recognize that the committee has gone
the limit in attempting to achieve
bOta of these aims.
In his concern lest the committee
had fallen short in these particulars
the writer submitted the bill to Hon.
Harris Weinstock, marketing commits
sioner of California, and Professor FL
wood Meade, chairman Of the Califor-
MIA state commission ON colonTatin
land rural credits. Both Of these gen.
tlemen have for long time been max
ing special study Of rural credits
systems as an aid to colonization and
national prosperity. Both are mem
bers Of q commission appointed by the
state legislature Of California for the
Investigation of the subject Profes
sor Mead has had seven years exper
ience as director Of similar but mucf
more far reaching system Of rura
credits in Australia. The following
extracts from letters show the opinion
which these men hold of the rura
credits measure which is submitted
to the people Of Oregon:

Delaware Team Getting in
Shape for St. Johns
Game on Saturday
ELEVEN UNUSUALLY
STRONG ON DEFENSE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Nov. 9.--1he Delaware
College varsity football team was put
through a hard scrimmage against the
scrubs yesterday afternoon to get the
eleven in shape for the St. Johns game
on Frazer Field Saturday afternoon. The
players have all recovered from their
bruises received in the hard Dickinson
game and are prepared to put up a
strong game against their old rivals,
St. Johns.

who returned several days ago from
Eagle Pass. Texas, where he was located
with the Maryland Troops, he having
been a member of Company +, Of Elk
ton. has not returned for practice the
last two days Bratton was in uniform
Tuesday. but has not reported since and
there is no chance of him getting in any
of the remaining games if he does not
report for practice to get in shape and
learn the signals and formations
McAvov's team has done wonderful
work in the lat three games and fully
expects to win from st. Johns on Satur-
day. although the Annapolis boys have a
strong eleven. The defense Of the Della
ware team has been wonderfully strong
all season. and seems TO be getting
stronger with every game No matter
who wins the game on Saturday 1t rs
safe to say St. Johns will not score
many points by getting through Della
wares line if the hue and gold play the
same sort of defensive game they are
capable o.
The players are also playing well 10.

Honus Wagner To Take CaIIahan's
lob? All Piffsburg Thinks He Will!
BY PAUL PURMAN.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 9.-Barney Drey-
fuss is making a determined EFFORT TO
induce HOnus Wagner to accept the
management of the Pirates for next
season. according to men close to the
Pittsburg president.
That Jimmie Callahan will leave
Pittsburg and probably succeed Joe
Tinker as pilot of the Cubs is an open
secret in Pittsburg. and although
there have been many conjectures on
who would step into Callahan's shoes
here. those best informed declare
Wagner will get the job if he will ac-
cept it. They depend upon the ancient
friendship of Wagner and Dreyfuss to
bring this about
Wagner has said in the past that
he will not accept the job. Only
last year when Christy Mathew
son signed 20 pilot the Reds,
Wagner said he would never
manage a ball team.
1T may be all right for some fell
lows to sit back and watch games
from the bench" Wagner sad. but
not for me. When I'm through as a
bailplayer I'm through.
But those who know Wagner's rela-
ton with Dreyfuss say if Dreyfuss in
sists Wagner VII not refuse.
They recall time a few years
back when Wagner decided 10
rrI ~. 81. ~
after a talk with Dreyfuss.
They also recall that when Federal
League agents asked Wagner to sign
a contract he went to Dreyfuss late
al night. reused him from bed and
signed a blank contract so he could
tell the Federal Leaguers he was al
ready in the employ OF the Pittsburgh
team.
In Pittsburgh there IS talk Of only
two men for Callahan's berth Wag-
ner and Fred Clark But Il is not
thought likely here Clarke will be re-
called.
There are many reasons for wag-
ner's selection.

It IS well known that Wagner
would have been named to manage
the club at the retirement OF Fred
Clarke, but he would not accept.
The argument is made that Honus

Whether he viii be wiling to give III
