revive the land boom.

compensation for half a million acres of

tion declaring the claim was founded in

granted except to buy or save a home
Funds to carry out the act are to be pro
vided by the issue of treasury notes to
an amount of $1.60 for every $1 worth of

ing to the United States. The bill pro
hibits banks or corporations from taking
more than 5 per cent, interest or 4 per
cent, where tbe loan extends over one
