that they had found what they were
looking for, paid more for wheat than
it was worth and sold flour for less

ATTACKS PROBLEM
OF OLD BAD LOANS
INVESTMENT COMMISSIONERS
MAKES PROGRESS CLEAN
ING UP MESS.

BOISE-One of 4he most interest,
ing and Illuminating features of the
recent report of c. A. Elmer, COM
missioner in charge of Idaho's de-
partment of public investments, is the
statement that the department is not
only cleaning up lot of loans, many
of them of years standing, but that
the state, for the first time, given pro-
lection pending settlement.
A number of cases are cited, one of
the most glaring being that of the
w. A. Rankin loan for $4,000 In
order to protect itself on this loan
the state was forced to buy a $500
water right, pay taxes, etc. For years
this loan was allowed to run, uncol-
lected, but Commissioner Elmer Sc
cured for the state judgment for $32,-
600. The property, which is worth it,
will be sold this month and the state
will get its money.
Collects Share of Crop
Several similar instances are cited
in the report, revealing what is being
done under business-like treatment
OF purely business matter, as con-
trasted with former procrastination
and inaction, apparently promised on
the theory that what is owned the
state is not a matter of real concern.
The department has also placed all
these delinquent loans in receivership
and for the first time the state is
securing share of the crops pending
final payment.
Commissioner Elmcr's report shows
that the state now has invested nearly
ten and three quarter million dollars
in farm loans. The new policy of
wedding out the bad ones, accumulated
from former administrations, is plac-
ing the business on safe and most
profitable basis.
