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."
