OREGON EE BUNK.
Several years ago some men came
up here selling shares in the
western Savings and Loan Associa
tion. They had papers showing that
this institution was under the
direct supervision of the State of
Oregon. They promised 10^ on the
money deposited and guaranteed 1%.
They went thru a lot of hazy talk
to show how they stirred, this
money around and made it pay this
big interest in spite of the big
overhead in collecting and placing
it in loans.Of course people who
understood knew it was impossible
'& did not invest,but a lot of them
did. The Corporation Commissioner
of Oregon has just- issued a state
ment to shareholders telling them
the concern is busted and in the
paper he admits that,"an enormous
loss will undoubtedly be sustained
in the disposition of these proper
ties. The whole history of the
operation of this concern indicates
a program of financial juggling in
utter disregard of statutory re
strictions which surround the hand
ling of the saving and loan funds.
There is no evidence of the value
of the property being given to KEE&
secure these loans having been
given the slightest consideration.
Lax supervision -has caused a
serious loss to thousands*-this
mo n ume nt a1 swindie."
Kany Alaskans remember mournful
ly how Seattle permitted the other
Seattle Banks to wreck the
Scandinavian American when its
assets were way more than its lia
bilities and after liquifying it
paid less.
Aliskans might as well invest
their money up here.Alaskans may
not be very big business men but
at least they are not mostly big
crooks.

suppose the Democrats are thankful
that they have control so they can
fix things up' better for everybody.

Republicans are thankful for the
same reason. vre hope that everyone
is willing to help them and that
next year we will be thankful that
