interest demanded, when there is
competition with the idea that the
purchaser will receive his money back
in case the land is redeemed, with in
terest at the rate he bids. The legal
rate in case of no competition is IL
per cent.
For government land, the method
differs, from the fact that the pur-
chaser buys taxes for the purpose of
homesteading, and would therefore
become the owner himself, and any
interest paid by him would come back
to him when he redeemed. Besides,
under the provisions of the ''Vol-
stead Act" competition is provided for
and bids to any amount above the
delinquent tax or interest for which
the land is sold, may be made, the tax
certificate going to the highest bid
der. and any excess being paid to the
government before patent shall be
issued.

Liens for Year.

The delinuent taxes for which gov
ernment land is sold consists of. the
delinuent interest on drainage liens
for one year. The interest is payable
yearly and must be paid before June
to save penalty and interest. The
interest for 1915 which is now due,
must be paid by purchasers before
patent will be issued.

A large number of land buyers are
