THE DAILY CAPITAL oCJRNAL. SALEM. OREGON, THURSDAY, FEB. 24, 1916. THREE IB POUNDS OF BLOOD is the average quantity in a healthy adult, but it is the quality o! the blood that determines our strength to resist 6ickness. With weak blood we find cold hands and chilly feet; in children an aversion to study, and in adults rheumatic tendencies. In changing seasons get abundant fresh air and take a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals, because Scott's Emulsion is a rich blood-food that will increase both quantity and quality of the blood while it warms the body and helps carry off the impurities. When multitudes of people are to day taking Scott's Emulsion to avert winter sickness, and are giving it to their children, it is careless to neglect its benefits. Look out for substitutes.

Measure Provides for Home Builders' Loan Fund on Part of the State Petitions for the initiation of what is calleil the "land and loan" bill are now being cireulutcd by labor unions and the socialist party. The measure, which is iu the form of a proposed amendment to the state constitution, will be submitted to the others at the geueral election to be held Novem ber 7. The bill provides for the collection, through taxation, of all land rent, and exempts from taxation all improve ments, and then provides a fund from which the state may make loans to home builders with no interest charged for the first five years and a rato not to exceed li per cent thereafter. Public Ownership Flan Defended. " Public ownership of all land rent is right," says the bill, "because such tent is created by the presence, in dustry and productive power of the whole people. Private ownership of land rent is the chief cause of land monopoly, land speculation and eco nomic oppression. It is therefore right and necessary, in order to pro mote the general welfare, that all land rent shall be collected by public taxation, whether the land is actually used or not." Another paragraph says: "One purpose of this section is to restore public ownership of land rent, but it does not change, limit or abol ish any personal right of private property and exclusive possession of land and land leases, as long as the land rent tax is paid." Rental Terms Stated. The bill says that the words "land rent" as used therein means the fair and just price per year as appraised by public officers, that a renter -should pay for the use of any lot or piece of land on a lease which includes the fol lowing conditions: That the renter has a five-year lease with the perpetual right to renew his lease at the end of each five-year term; that the rent shall be appraised and readjusted every fifth year and no charge shall be made for the use of the land im provements. The law is to be administered by the state land board, the bill provides. In case of land being sold for de linquent taxes, the state land bonn' is directed to bid the amount of the delinquency, with penatlies and costs. All land o acquired by the state is to be leased. The state is prohibited from selling any land. Special Tax Planned. A special tax may be levied oh per sonal property and land improvements I tor local purposes only, by school and road districts, or city or county by submitting the question to the voters j and being approved by a majority of those voting. I Two-thirds of the revenue obtained i' each county from the land rent tax is i to be apportioned to the various cities, i towns and districts and to the count' and state in the same ratio that each received from the general tax levy of 1 Ol Tl.. .... ,i. , . 11;j ine inn provmes mar mrs (lis hibution may be changed from time to time by law. The remaining one-third of the rev enue is to go into the "home makers loan fund." This fund, the bill pro vides, is to also receive herenfter all revenue derived lrom inheritance taxes. "This fund," says tho bill, 'shall I be loaned to home makers, both in ; town and country, in amounts not ex ceeding two-thirds of the actual value ot the land improvements they may make or have already made, on nny 101 or tract or. land. To Aid Worthy Persons. "One purpose of this section is to help person, with no capital but their labor and character to mako homes and fnrms, but not more thun $1,500 shall be loaned for tho making of one such home or farm. "If the sum total of all the prop erty owned by any family shall ex ceed $2,250 in value, then no part ot such fund shall be loaned to any member of that family. "The loans shall be secured by first mortgage- on the Miiprovements anil the land. There shall be no interest on any such loan for the first five years, and thereafter the rato of in terest shall not be greater than six per cent per annum. Kvory such loan may be made repayable bv install- Bracnts, but the final payment shall ' Tint in nnv ituua Kn !,.. tin iii.iu muiu mail years from the date of the loan, un less such limitation shall be extended bv law."
