East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-09-23

The menace OF the fnaxip1um 6 pei
cent bill is so great, and IL 1t were te
become law the disaster to the state
would be 30 widespread and so pro-
found, that every thoughtful voter
ought to be made familiar with an
analysis OF what would actually. hap
pen II the blu were to pass. There
should be no mistake in the minds Of
the voters that this is In no sense a
political question. but Is purely an eco
nome one. No,vote cast because of
party affiliation, or because OF de-
sire to elect candidates OF any politi-
cal party win be at all affected by
voto on this bill.
The most cheerful view to take is
that the trainers OF this measure in
initiating 1t. had In mind some object
which would be beneficial to the peo-
pie OF the state. While 1t Is difficult for
any banker or business man to discern
what this beneficial object could be,
nevertheless an inquiry into what the
various possible benefits would be is
desirable. It is obvious that the farm |
ers of this measure could only ask for
the peoples support upon a platform
OF this character. In other words.
" they had had no beneficial object In
View they are actuated by the rankest
dishonesty. IL they are dishonest. the
measure Is not entitled to the support
OF a single intelligent voter of the
state. II their object is honest and
ostensibly beneficial. then think II
will be quite easy to demonstrate that
their measure has been conceived in !
the most abysmai ignorance of the ef- !
feet II would have upon tho commu !
nifty. II we can;show that II has been !,
conceived In ignorance. II is no more /,
entitled to the support of the people
than II II were conceived in dishonesty. 2
No matter from what motives on the n
part OF the people the piil- may he =
passed, It's DISASTROUS effect will be n
the same. lls
Let us briefly analyze the measure n
and its objects: IL
Do its trainers expect to give the p
borrowing public cheaper money? II

isst experiment In cheap money that II

many years, and it is quite likely new
er to return. The evil effects of thii
nature could be expended into details
of endless variety.
Another unfortunate result of the
law would be that 1t would put a
premium upon usuary, dishonesty.
and evasion of the law. People must
have money when they need it for pur-
poses that are imperative to them.
and a group of usurers would spring
up. dishonest practices would become
prevalent. and there would be end
less evasions of the s per cent bill; all
Of which would work seriously to the
injury and detriment of the wage
earning and farming classes.
In order to defeat this bill. | believe
Il is only necessary to sweep away the
log which obscures the vision of
thousands of good people to whom
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-09-23

such an economic monstrosity and fall
lacy will appeal only because Of their
ignorance of economic principles and
because Of their failure to comprehend
the direful consequences if it should
become law. Once thoroughly under
stood. no intelligent citizen of this
state, man or woman, will vote for
such a suicidal measure. In this task
Of education, the business men and
women should join. The bill must be
fought vigorously with every weapon
that can be made effective. These vi
cions doctrines we must smash, and
must keep smashing them until they
become reduced to dust and are scat
tered TO the four winds of heaven.
Only in this way can we secure the
perpetuity, of the union as embodied
in a government of the people. for the
people and by the people.

no cheap money In the market.
II I. Is a move 10 benefit those two i'm.
/ portant factors in Industrial life; the
wage Garner and the farmer? Let me
assure you that both will suffer more
| from the effects of this bill than from
any economic pestllencc that ever af-
/ flicted the people OF aEy country in
any time.
I, Is 1t n blow at the rich? n II is so
intended. 1t would be wholly futile
because the rich would suffer least OF
lall from the effects of such a bill.

ment are easily transferable to other
states. and other fields outside OF Ore

affected by idiotic maximum interest
laws The bill would utterly fail to
accomplish any such result, II that is
one of its objects.
Is it the object to reduce the bust
ness OF banking TO an Improbable
condition? The unqualified answer
to that is that the bill might be sue
cessful; but let me warn you, in no un-
certain terms. that vital blow at the
banks OF tho state Of Oregon would be ,
a far more serious and deadly blow
at the industries of this state than at 4

The strongest commercial and indus
trial houses are paying from 7 to 8
per cent for funds, and even at these
high rates are unable to borrow any
thing like the amount of money they
require. As the loans now carried by
the banks are matured, the banks =
would be unable to renew them and
would be compelled to exact payment. N
stoppage of bank loans would mean ei
/ paralysis OF industry of all kinds. M
Let someone who knows arise and tell ol

The Diary of an Engaged Girl
BY Phyllis Phillips

had sent her to get me for fitting,
dressmaker waiting and all that, SO
there was no earthly use to call her
down for sneaking in. I told her to
sit down and help herself to some
candy, which Cecil had brought in to
me, which she did, gratefully.
After engaging us in stupid con
yersation, In which l heard the latest
back-stairs history, just who the new
cook was in love with, and why Will
lam, the chauffeur, was going to leave
etc., she announced that she had de
cided to put on longer frocks- and
soon. This made me open my eyes
for If Nanny is really growing up
must remember to-remember at al
times.
Hardly had gotten rid of her, wher
Cecil came over to the chaise lounge
I was artistically draped on, and pick
ed me up in his arms, just as though
were a baby. He was trembling
quite violently, and for the first time
was thoroughly frightened-at every
thing.
He kissed me on the mouth till the
breath seemed to leave my body, ant
then put me back and dashed out o
the room.

What S in a Name
(Copyright)
MIRIAM


The exquisite name Of Miriam seems
to be a predecessor of Mary. 1t too
signifies 'bitter" and comes from the
Hebrew word marah, which has that
translation. But Miriam, according to
the Scriptures, antedates Mary.
Miriam first named the sister Of
Moses and Aaron, who led the songs Of
the Israelites when they saw their
enemies dead upon the seashore. 1t
was not repeated until after the cap
tivity, when it took the Greek forms of
Marian and Marianne, and became
much used by Jewish women. The
Asmonean princess in whom the brave
Maccabean line was extinguished by
Herod the Great, was called Marian.
Later it is found designating the poor
soul who is cited as having fulfilled
the most terrible of all the woes de-
nounced by Moses upon the daughters
Of Jerusalem.
Miriam was at one time the name
by which the Blessed Virgin herself
was called and also it named two
popular saints: the Magdalen and the
Penitent Of Egypt. Marianne, the
derivative, is sufficiently important to
be discussed separately at a later
date.

Got back from Philly this morning,
tired but refreshed. The family re-
marked on my pale cheeks. and dad
pinched one OF them and told me he
just knew that l had had the time of
my life. He is the dearest thing.
On top of hugging me to pieces he
fished out most thrilling emerald
ring for his Lindsey, which sent me
into fits of delight. Assured me it
was not wedding present, just a
little in-between gift, you know.
Mother was glad to see me, and
asked me If had behaved as I should
while I was away. AS for Aunt Ce-
ella, she just danced about, she was

Cecil lounged in to see me round
lunch time, and asked me what sort
Of a time I had had. The boy looks
bit thin, and his eyes affected me
strangely. l wonder if he could be in
love with me. 1t would be strange,
for l am everything that he most dis.
approves of, l imagine. But then he
is so eccentric that I don't for a
moment put 1t by him to fall for his
direct opposite, and some one as un
suited to him in every way as a but
tercup to a frog!
He told me that the home had been
CHASTITY still and dull since 1 had de
parted, and that he had not enjoyed
| a single meal, they were all so laugh
less. F1attering to say the least, Ell
what?
l was in an extremely fetching blue
negligee, and so cool and composed
you've no idea, so I told him it was
sweet to be missed and all that; then
began to comb my hair.
The next thing I felt was a very
soft kiss on the nape of my neck
| and I turned to find Cecil very wild
eyed in back of me. OF course kept
