PROPOSES STATE
FARM LOAN SYSTEM
SENATOR IVERSON THINKS 1T
WILL SOLVE LOGGED.OFF
LAND PROBLEM.

Financial assistance which it is
believed will materially aid in solv-
ing the logged-off land problem is
the real purpose behind the farm
loan bill recently introduced in the
state senate by Senator Peter Iver-
son, OF Kitsap county. II it accom-
plfshes all that its trainers expect
Of 1t. Washington's rural population
will be increased tremendously in
the next few years.
The system will be of vastly more
help In encouraging the establish
ment of farm homes than the federal
farm loan act, Senator Iverson
thinks, because, as he says:
1.-THE federal act is not we'll adapt
ed to our needs. The main idea of
It is to loan money on improved
farms. Our problem is to make
farms of waste lands. In our state
many Of the homes hewn out of the
forests are 80 far apart that 1t would
be difficult, If not impossible, to form
associations to get the benefit of the

North Dakota and South Dakota
have loaned their school funds at low
interest for long periods and neither
state, SO far as I can learn. has lost
a cent.
II believe the basic idea of senate
bill 25 is sound and will not endan-
ger any of the public funds. 1t
should serve to solve one of the most
important problems confronting us
that Of getting settlers on our unoc-
cupied lands and building up a large
rural population"

BOOM LISTER FOR SENATE
Federal Attorney Boosts Governor
for Place In 1920.

Washington, although heavily
Republican, is now found in the right
column, and under the leadership of
a sterling Democrat, Governor Ern-
est Lister. Governor Lister is not a
stranger to Oregon, my home state.
He came down to Oregon and helped
in the campaign.
THE United States senate needs
Governor Lister just as badly as the
State of Washington needs him as it's
chief executive and he is the man to
send to Washington as soon as he
has completed his term as governor.
This was the statement made by

Clarence L. Reaves, Of Portland, dur
ing ringing speech at a luncheon
given BY the King County Democrat
ic club recently. He urged the
followers OF Andrew Jackson not to
rest on their laurels while entrenched
in power, but to be up and doing,
ever feeling the responsibility with
which they have been intrusted.
Reames said that the last presi-
dental election taught a lesson in
practical government. He urged that
the electoral college be abolished and
that the people elect their presidents
by direct popular vote.

federal farm loan act. It was neces-
sary to devise some other plan.
LOnR.Tima Ixnans Proxidefl For

federal farm loan act. It was neces-
sary to devise some other plan.
Longtime Loans Provided For.
1.-THE basic idea of our bill is that
the state must lend its credit to as
sist men and women in establishing
homes. The plan will not interfere
with the banking business because
the banks will not loan money on the
class of property sought to be devel-
oped.
"The proposed law provides for
longtime loans at a rate of interest
not to exceed per cent. On the
terms proposed, the principal and in
terest on the loan will be paid in So
years. Money can be loaned only to
those actually engaged in agricul-
tural work.
THE state is authorized to issue
bonds for the purpose Of creating a
farm loan fund to the amount of 2
per cent of the assessed valuation OF
all the property in the state. The
state will have the power to acquire
lands through eminent domain pro-
ceedings for the purpose of making
farms.
1.-THE bill gives authority to invest
the trust funds, either public or pri-
vate, in the farm loan bonds.
OregOn's Loan Act More Liberal.
Gorgeous farm loan act is even
more liberal than the one proposed
in Washington. British Columbia
also has taken an advanced position
in this line of public endeavor.

dents of the state, including leading

agent of the State Federation of La

Growing Achievement

For we operate On the basis Of
one executive organization
one factory management
-one purchasing unit
-one sales expense
-one group Of dealers to plan, produce and sell
al Overland, WHY'S and WHY'S Knight models.
Buying power is concentrated. Costs are dis
hibuted over all these cars. The savings are
enormous.
As result we are producing cars of exceptional
quality-and marketing them at unusually low
prices.
Every car is built to a rigid standard Of per-
Torrance, comfort and appearance.
The new models are listed in this announcement.
They include Overland models from the snappy
comfortable $665 Light -Four to the beautiful
Light Six Sedan at $1585.
They include also the big, handsome WHY'S
Knights from the Four at $1285, to the super
efficient Eight at $3.50.
These new models establish price records, value
records and performance records which we believe
will prove to the public conclusively that the vast
economies Of vast production are the key note and
manufacturing secret Of the greatest value for the
least amount If Sr1nnev

This means an even higher. grade Of cars at
much more attractive prices.
All Of which means q substantial saving for you
