Sank Petition. Ready.

The initiative petitions by which
the Gardner state land bank act will
be submitted to the voters Of Missouri
at the November election have been
completed and they soon will be filed
with the secretary of state.
While the law provides that it is
only necessary to file petitions cover
ing 5 per cent of the voters in IL con-
gr~essional districts, the initiative petit
ton committee canvassed each OF the
ia Missouri counties and each Of the
16 congressional districts, and has
more than sufficient signatures from
each of the districts.
Samuel Resented is chairman OF
the initiative committee Other mem
bers are: C. o. Raine of Canton, Noah
w. Simpson of LaBelle, Senator An
derson Craig of Maryville, and A. T.
Edmonston, the secretary, of Jeffer-
son City.
The land bank act was passed by
the general assembly. 1t was held,
however, that the law could not be-
come effective, because the state con-
stitution contained no provision au-
thorizing such aylaw. 1t was for this
reason that the initiative was invoked.
The petitions will submit the law
to the voters, and if it carries the law
becomes effective January l, 1917,
without further action.
The idea of the land bank was con-
ceived by Col. Fred D. Gardner, one
of the candidates for the Democratic
nomination for governor more than
two years ago.

Berlin, Germany.-The Austrian pas

here. The Dubrovnik was not armed.
An official dispatch from Rome an

Provision Of Proposed Lew.

The land bank law is calculated
to relieve the farmer of paying the
interest that with bonuses and pre-
miums sometimes reaches from 10 to
20 per cent. Under the proposed sys-
ten the farmer can obtain a loan on
his land or the improvements on the
land at the rate Of 4 ga to 5 per cent
by issuing what is practically a bond
with the state Of Missouri back Of it.
The loan will be issued in such a way
that at the time of the payment Of
the interest the farmers will also pay
a part of the principal.

that the attack on the Dubrovnik, even
