Many farmers have written the Leader about this bill, some opposing and some favoring it, while still, others were in doubt and asked the Leader’s opinion. The Nolan bill is a measure upon which _the Nonpartisan league has taken no cfficial position and we can not, therefore,’ either recommend or attack it. We can, however, tell what: it is and what its friends and enemies say about it. The Nolan bill proposes to raise 25 per cent of the national taxes (about $1,000,000,000) by levying a 1 per cent tax on land values and natural resources above $10,000, exclusive of improvements. Farm improvements of all kinds, including buildings, fences, tiling, irrigation systems, ma- chinery and livestock, would be exempt. On the bare land value above $10,000 the farmer would pay a tax of 1 per cent or $10 on $11,000 worth of land, $20 on $12,000 worth of land and so - on. The major portlon of the revenue would be secured, however, by the fact that the 1 per cent tax also applies on waterpower sites, oil lands, iron mines, clty lots, ete., much of which property is now held 1dle and- escapes taxatlon to a large degree. ' WHAT ITS FRIENDS AND OPPONENTS SAY The sponsors of the Nolan bill claim that 90 per cent of all the farmers in America would be exempt from its provisions, that the tax on idle city lots would compel their owners to put up houses and solve the housing ques- tion, that. the tax on big landlords would compel them to sell to tenants at reasonable figures and that the tax on idle mines, timber lands, water- power sites, ete., would compel their use and thus build up industry. The opponents of the Nolan bill claim that.it is a modified form of the single tax, that it would apply to more than 10 per cent of the farmers, that landlords instead of selling their land to tena!gts on easy terms would add the cost of the tax to the rent, and that it is easier to collect taxes by levying upon sales of tea, coffee, sugar, ete., than by levying upon land values, It is undoubtedly true, that the Nolan bill is a form of what is known as the single tax. Whether the single tax is right or wrong is another ques- tion and whether the Nolan bill as drafted would bear too heavily upon working farmers with farms valued at more than $10,000, outside of build- ings and improvements, is another questxon. It is probable, however, that the Nolan bill will not be passed at this which would pay: heavily for its hold- ings of idle waterpower sites, mines, etc,, is against it, so are speculators in city and farm property, while farmers appear to be divided at the present tifne. PUBLIC ELEVATOR AT NORFOLK The city of Norfolk, Va., has or- dered plans prepared for ‘a mumclpal ‘grain elevator in connection with its municipal port. The elevator will be built on the “unit” system. The first unit will have a capacity of 1,000,000 ‘bushels, but a working house will be ‘built- large enough to handle four 1,000,000-bushel units.

CO. 573Coal St., Dayton, Ohio With a film-coat on your teeth Millions of people on retiring now combat the film on teeth. They fight it day by day. And those glistening teeth seen everywhere now form one of the results. You owe yourself a trial of this fiew teeth-cleaning method. ‘Dentists everywhere advise it. The results it brings are all-important, and they do not come without it. : What film does " Your teeth are coated with a vis- cous film. Feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. And dentists now trace most tooth troubles to it. The ordinary tooth paste does not end film. So, despite all brushing, much film remains, to cause stain, tartar, germ troubles and decay. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. Itholds food substance which fermients and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed init. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Ways to combat it Dental science, after years of re- search, has found effective ways to fight film. Able authorities have proved their eficxency . Together they bring, in modern opinion, a new era in teeth cleaning. These five methods are combmed in a dentifrice called Pepsodent—a tooth paste which complies with all the new requxrements And a ten- day tube is now sent free to every- one who asks. Watch the teeth whiten You will see and feel results from Pepsodent which brushing never brought you heretofore. A week’s use, we think, will amaze you. One ingredient is pepsin. One mul- tiplies the starch dxgestant in the sa- hva, to digest all starch deposits that cling. One multiplies the kahmty of the saliva to neutralize mouth acids. Two factors directly attack the film. One of them keeps the teeth so Pepsadéid The New-Day Dentifrice A scientific film combatant combined with two other mod- ern requisites. Now advised by leading dentists everywhere and highly polished that film cannot ‘easily cling. Watch these effects. Send the cou- pon for a ten-Day.Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. Note how teeth whiten as the film-coat disappears. The book we send 'explains all these results. Judge what they mean to you and yours.
