sentative investor involves certain
element of risk, on a basis of per
cent, in a state where the legal rate
of interest, as you know, is much
larger, which they cannot do, and his
tory in this case will repeat itself. as
it has done in many other instances
of similar character The ultimate
outcome will be failure.
| notice in their pamphlet a state
ment that they expect to sell their
bonds in the Eastern market to in
vestors on per cent basis. This
is ridiculous proposition. Why
should investors buy their bonds at
4 per cent when. they can buy munich
pal obligations OF your own state,
with the entire credit of the com
munity behind the obligations, on a
5 per cent, and even as high as a E
per cent basis?
By careful reading of the contents
Of this booklet you will also notice
that they will make loans in the order
that they are received, and as funds
are available, and then only after a
thorough investigation of the collat-
eral. This simply makes the PROPOSE
ton one, to the person who buys the
company's securities, that he must
stand in line and wait for his loan, and
he may get gray haired, his bones
rickety, and his blood feeble, before
he can secure loan, if the company
does not succeed on a large scale in
placing its obligations.
Instead OF investing money safely,
those who go into this enterprise
will involve their money in consider
able risk.
| noticed only the other day a cir
cular issued by the Orange Judd
Farmer which advises its subscribers
to refrain from investing their money
in this enterprise, on the same theory,
no doubt, which | have explained to
you.
| am somewhat amused at the crit
icism by this company of building
and loan associations, which are mu-
tual affairs, and which charge per
cent interest on the face amount of
the loan instead of on the amount
paid in, merely because they find that
by this process they are able to sue
coed.
You must also remember that build
ing and loan associations under the
laws of most of the states are mutual
affairs, and cannot be run for pro-
fit. The only individual who gets a
salary is usually the Secretary, and
his salary is but a nominal one. Yet
these associations cannot loan money
for less than 6 per cent, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they are not estab-
lished for profit. and consequently do
not have to make any profit.

Home Company claim they can for

GOOD NEWS
Many Caldwell Readers Have Heard

Good news travels fast" and the
bad back sufferers in Caldwell are
glad to learn where relief may be
found. Many lame. weak and ach-

Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens
are telling the good news of their ex-
perience with this tested remedy.
Here is an example worth reading:
Frank Janik, shoemaker, III Sixth
Ave-, Caldwell, says: My back was
lame and sore and terribly painful
and my kidneys were out of order;
was in awful shape at times and
could hardly straighten. The kidney
secretions passed too frequently and
were unnatural Twice | was in that
condition. and Doan's Kidney Pills rid
me of the trouble both times after
everything else had failed"

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

This week we are able to present
to our readers another opinion on the
Empire Home Company of Boise. We
have letter from Mr.. Louis Guen-
Their, editor of the Financial World of
New York, one of the leading journals
of the country on matters of finance
and investment. The Financial World
is a recognized authority.
Thus far we have given the verdict
of the Financial Age and the Ameri-
can Banker on this particular enter
prise. 1t will be noted that these
three authorities, who are without
prejudice or interest, are of the same
opinion. The plans and methods of
the Empire Home Company appeal
to none of them.
The Tribune is very thankful for
the interest shown by Mr.. Guenther of
the Financial World, Mr.. w. S.
Cousins of the American Banker

bert Myrick of the Orange Judd Com
the time and trouble to investigate and
report upon the plan of the Empire
Home Company at our request. These
a.
terest in a matter that was not of the
slightest importance to them per-
soanlly, solely because they were will
ing to do whatever they could to pro-
tect and advise the general public.
The readers of The Tribune undoub-
teddy appreciate the kindness of these
men-men of big affairs-whose time
is we'll occupied and whose work for
them and for us required a real Sacri-
fee.

Dear Mr.. Davis:
take pleasure in further replying
to yours of May lst, inquiring about
the Empire Home Company of Boise,

dulgenece for not answering sooner,

PEELED to lay the booklet you sent me
aside until | could read it at my leis-
ure, and give the contents the
thorough consideration it warranted
to intelligently advise you what
think of this company's proposition.
Frankly as an investment PROPOSE
ton | view the scheme of the En-
pire Home Company of Boise. Idaho,
as impracticable. They state in their
phamphlet that they can negotiate
loans for small borrowers. on a basis
of per cent. | do not believe that
they can do this, and besides pay
commissions to solicitors. maintain
branch offices, provide for loans, and
make a sufficient turnover to earn a
profit.
Savings banks which come about as
near to the mutual plan of savings
whereby the profit in handling money
is reduced to the smallest percentage,
and even savings banks which are CON
Quoted on mutual plan paying no
dividends on stock, find the margin of

lateral, which as far as human judg-

so small that they can at most only

states not more than per cent.

HAS NO OTHER CONNECTION
WITH EMPIRE COMPANY
BUT is CONSIDERING
PRESIDENCY
Iago Like Selfish Souls Are Trying to
Tear Down Benehciens Association
His Company is Different From
Other Companies-Blanket Endor-
sement Given but Details Lacking

The Tribune is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. John T. Morrison, general
counsel and head OF the legal depart
ment, of the Empire Home Company
of Boise, which indicates an I'M
suspected innocence on the part of
Mr. Morrison. He states that he is
not a member of the company and in
no wise connected with it except as
an attorney for it. He also states that
he has been invited to become a
stakeholder and to assume the presi-
dency of the company, and further,
that he is seriously considering doing
so.
The statements of Mr.. Morrison
are gratifying. The Tribune trusts
that he has not been deceived. We
were in hopes that he would give us
in detail the differences between this
and other companies mentioned, but
these differences may come to light
later. No one has ever believed that
attempted to mislead the public. All
that we ever feared was that he him
self had been deceived
1t will be noted that Mr.. Morrison
does not go into details in his letter.
He gives the Empire Home Company
blanket endorsement, which under
the circumstances is the safe course

Dear Sir:
A copy of your issue of the 21st
inst, containing an open letter ad-
dressed to me by you, is before me.
But for the action of friend, who
handed me the paper and directed my
attention to the letter, | would have
remained in ignorance of your de-
clared kindness and single purpose.
Your words at once appealed to me
as genuine and revealed you as a
friend without guile.
For your information l will say
was not aware of my name being used
in any wrong way, or that | was be-
ing connected with the Empire Home
Company in any other way than as an
Attorney for it. | am not a member
of the company and only became its
attorney after it had organized and
taken rooms in the Empire building.
The plan of this company is very
different from that of the companies
to which you have been pleased to
liken it so different that it completely
dltfereniates itself Its purposes arc
entirely honorable and its successful
working will be distinct advantage
to this section of the country. | am
aware that there are interests which
are bitterly opposed to the working
out of cooperative or accumulative
plan of creating a source of cheap
money for the people, and who in
dulge a system of indirect and cover
ed criticism. There seems to be an
unfortunate trait in some natures that,
lago like, they would wreck the hap
piness and ruin the life of benefactors
10 accomplish a spite against others.
| have been asked to become a
stakeholder and to assume the presi-
dency of the Empire Home Com pany,
and am seriously considering doing so
Private and personal limitations may
deter me.
Yours very truly
