TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Your attention is directed to the
proposed measure entitled "Constitu-
tional Amendment fixing legal rate OF
interest in Oregon" No. 314 and BIB
on the November ballot. This meas
ure proposes to limit interest rates IN
Oregon to 5@c and its adoption would
prevent the lending of money in Ore
gon and result in the financial distress
which comes from lack of capital with
which to finance industry and business.
Seventy per cent of the money
loaned en- Oregon real estate is out
side capital and the passage of this
measure would result in its with
drawal to other states. wholesale
foreclosures would follow and thous-
ands of home owners, farmers ana
business men would lose their mort
gagged property. With the Government
offering so interest on short time
loans the Federal Reserve Bank charg-
ing 7Co on rediscounts, commercial
loans could not be secured in a state
where the interest rate was limited TO
59o and mills and factories would be
forced to close. There would be wide
spread unemployment and financial
distress.
No doubt you yourself realize the
inevitable results of the passage OF
this measure and believe there is no
danger of its adoption but have you
discussed it with persons who are less
experienced in financial matters and
pointed out to them its fallacies ani
viciousness? 1t will not be sufficient
to merely defeat this measure at the
polls.
oreeon's Financial Reputation and
Future Require that it be Overwhelm-
tngly Beaten!

catcher! Sorehead eatcher.' The desig-
nation was so apt that it caught the
crowd, and grsndstand and bleachers
took it up and applied it mercilessly
to the poor fellow throughout the rest
Of the game.
Now that catcher was a very foolish
fellow Perhaps he was not to blame
for feeling sore" over the decision, or
even for protesting against it. But
to carry his discomfort through the
game, TO allow himself to get surly and
ugly because Of il, was childishness
and folly of the most inexcusable sort.
He gained nothing by it, and he lost
much. Il spoiled the game for him,
and it spoiled him for the game, 1t
prevented any enjoyment that he
might otherwise have had-the JOY Of
the true sportsman in a well contest
cd struggle whatever the result. And
Just as certainly it prevented him from
playing the game with his utmost
skill. No one can do his best, in base
ball OF in anything else, in a sullen,
grumbling. disconnected spirit. A man

his temper, Psychologically, anger ia
weakness and inefficency. Unless one
masters himself he is not likely to
master Others or other things. A sore
head" means a clouded brain, a weak
arm. an unskilled hand.
All this is just as true in that other
game that we call life. Lots of peo-
pie are making themselves and those
about them uncomfortable and are
handicapping their game by disputlng
the decision and carrying a "groueh"
because of it, Something goes wrong,
some plan miscsrries; some advice i
turned down, some slight or injury is
done them: Intentionally or uninten
tionallv they are over looked in some
way-the adverse decision many take
many forms. Possibly they were right
in the initial instance, possibly injus
tice was done them But they are not
right. they cannot be right, in persist
ing in PLAYING the game under the
handicap of a nursed and cherished
crouch. Waterman Examiner.

PORTUGAL NEEDS COAL.
Shortage Is Being Keenly Felt Because
English Importation Is Cut Off.

Lisbon, Sept. "a coal shortage is
being keenly felt in Portugal owing
to the prohibition of coal expectation
from England and the absence of any
good coal producing districts in this
country.
All coal for industries was imported
chiefly from Cardiff and Newcastle
and since that has ceased and orders
placed in the United States have been
cancelled, the situation threatens to
become serious and people are looking
forward with alarm TO the coming win
ter Abnormal conditions exist as a
result, all restaurants, cafes and places
Of amusement must close promptly at
midnight and external illumlnations
are prohibited.
There is but little coal produced in
Portugal. which has been entirely de-
pendent on imported coal For domes.
tic purposes charcoal is chiefly used all
over the country in small earthernware
stoves, specially made for its use. Now
however, even that has disappeared as
the price of fuel rose to such an extent
that the government was obliged TO en-
force fixed prices. In consequence, al
though there is plenty of charcoal,
farmers are not sending il TO the mar
ket, hoping to obtain ever increasing
prices for wood.
In the meantime all Portugal is suf-
fering from utter absence of coal and
people are Obliged to buy wood when
