STATE farm LOANS
ARE NOW Being MADE
Law Passed but Month Ago is Now in
Operation while Federal System
Is Vet Unufganized.

That with the Introduction Of the
Farm Loan Act, Nhioh IS now in OPP
GRAFTON land loans in oregon will
within a short time reach a Eve per
cent basis. is the opinion of Attorney
w. II. Brooke, attorney for the land
board for Malheur county.
While this is perhaps the matter of
most Importance to the probable and
possible borrowers from the fund. the
remarkable thing about the rural
credit system is the speed with which
the administrative board has pre-
pared for operation. The bill which
provided the machinery was enacted
into law only little more than a
month ago and already the board is
ready to make loans on farm lands
when this record Is compared with
the Federal rural board which was
named months ago and is still per-
ieoting It's organization the advantage
of tho smaller governmental unit is
pronounced
In speaking OF the rules laid down
by the board for the operation OF the
law Mr.. Brooke said:
According to the rules OF the board
no loan will be made for more than
$4,000, at the present time. The law
prescribes $4,000 as the maximum,
but the board has determined 10
make the smaller amount the limit
for the present. The land on which
the loan is made must be operated by
the borrower himself and he reside
upon the premises. otherwise the reg
ulations are almost identical with the
regulations governing loans from the
state school funds. with this exception
that whereas one may secure loan
for iifty per cent OF the value OF the
land under the now law only ne
third of the value could be secured
from the school funds have re-
ceived copies OF the application
blanks and pamphlets describing
the amortization plans aud schedules
Tor retiring the loans aud the board
IN ready 10 do business"
In commenting upon the success
which attended the loan of school
funds In Malheur county Mr. Brooke
said that altho more than a quarter
of a million dollars had been loaned
In Malheur county 10 hundreds of
borrowers only four had failed TO
meet their obligations and not cent
had been lost In principal or interest
In twelve years,
Under the terms OF the rural cred
It's bill which was passed by initia-
tive last fall the state was authorized
10 sell bonds To raise the money, This !
has not been done M yet, the various
state FUNDS having purchased the
bonds needed To put the new law In
operation with the states credit so
high, MIR, Brooke believes that an
the money needed can be secured so
that farm loans in this state will soon
be On a fiye per cent basis.

TAX DODGERS MUST
RESTORE SEVENTEEN MILLION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct fin
ternal revenue agents here report that
eyasions of the special tax of twelve
and one-half per cent. on munitions
manufacturers so far totalled $780,
600 of which amount more than $10,>
100000 had been recovered.
Revenue authorities state that one
method used to report minimum taxes
was to charge off a large percentage,
and sometimes all of the plants valua-
ton, under the head of depreciation. .
Manufacturers detected in this prac-
tice defended their action by claiming
their plants were worthless after hav-
ing been used for the manufacture of
munitions, because of extensive alter
ations which would necessary have to
be destroyed at the end of the war
