POLITICAL BANKING

Banking is business where facts

of politics and personal ambition.
The recent failure of the Scandi-
nayian bank at Pargo, n. D., is a
good example of political banking.
This institution with Il reported
capital of $4,000 and Il surplus Of
$4,000 was Investigated and closed
by the state banking board. Its
liabilities We're about S750,O0O.
North Dakota has five supreme
judges, the majority of whom owe
their positions to the Non-Partisan
league 50 by straight party de-
cision Of to ?. the supreme court
has decided the bank is not insol-
vent.
The facts and figures remain,
however, that a little bank dominut-
ed by a political organization had
loaned the activities OF that organiza-
tion three quarters of a million dol
lars.
This is political banking and not
business banking and all the court
decisions in the world cannot change
the figures.

ing the private banking industry with

CAN YOU BEAT 1T?

Initiating freak laws for the peo'
nle TO vote on is a popular pastlme
in Oregon and a prize is now pro-
posed by asking the voters to amend
the constitution and reduce the le-
cal rate of interest to per cent on
omen accounts and per cent on
contract obligations.
That would be fine for the bor-
rover ff he could get the money!
but who would loan it" Oregon
cannot set the interest rate of the
world by merely passing a law. nel-
ther can the state compel a man to
loan money If he does not wish
Oreeonians would not loan money
in their own state at these rates
and it is self-evident that no one
else would be fool enough to do so.
Homebuilders, merchants and ins
dustries would be absolutely cut OF!
from borrowing money for who
would loan on private account with
attendant risks when they could buy
government bonds. municipal and
state bonds or sound corporation and
foreign bonds netting much highei
rate of interest and many of them
tax free?
Only the rich could do business in
Oregon under such a law and banks
would be forced out Of business.

ON FINANCIAL BLACKLIST

Oregon citizens will have to use
GOOD judgment at the coming cleo
ton to steer the old ship of state
clear of the shoals which are threat
ening in the shape Of proposed freak
legislation.
The old single tax measure is again
on the ballot and a new proposition
to reduce the legal rate Of interest
to four and five per cent, This lat
ter measure would make it abso-
lutely impossible to borrow money
in Oregon for who would loan it to
individuals at this rate when they
could invest in safe government, state
and municipal securities drawing
greater interest with no risk in
volved.
Such measure would put Ore
gon on the financial blacklist of
the world and the small borrower
could never get a dollar.
Oregon has voted down radical
measures for years and it will have
to do so once more.
