ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of TehaHaa County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
nom $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12o, 100 and 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated. by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annuTn,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to core.
sPond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
Iands, suitable for general farming, and es-
Pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and Its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

who go very frequently, without having

The Usury Law,

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: Your editorial
of February 18th argues against the
usury bill, which has passed one house.
AS an officer ola national bank allow me
to refer your readers to Section 5l97, etc.,
of the United States Revised Statutes,
which prescribe that national banks may
take the same rate of interest, and no
more, as State banks.
For violation of this prescription the
national banker can only be punished by
losing twice the amount of the entire in
terest; he is not subject to punishment
under any State law. (9l L. S. %; ll5
Mass. $50; 81 n. y. 2l2). He commits no
felony and the loan is not lost. The pro-
posed law makes heavier penalties fall on
the State banker and he will be driven to
enlist under the flag OF the General Gov
ernment.
The State Constitution says the Legis-
lature shall not make special or local laws
regulating the rate of interest. In view
of the limits laid down by the United
States law, which is supreme over the
State law, this usury law would be special
and local, and decidedly against the inter
ests OF State bankers, as compared with
national banks. FRANK MILLER.
