PROPOSED srAY Law

s@@aAr A~eNtNy A0auty htcDfuL
The state IL being eanvassed for
signatures 10 petitions asking Gov.
Humphrey to convene the legisla-
turs 10 extra session with . view Of
providing stay Law" which would
operate a. q delay IN the foreclos-
ure Of mortgages on real estate In
this state.
During the last session several
bills were introduced int both
houses which sought to provide
some measure Of relief 10 the farm
ers whose homes were loaded down
with . mortgage. Some Of these
measures were In the form Of "stay
laws" and others were simply .
statutory provision regulating. not
the contract between the mortgagor
and the mortgage, but the proce-
dure In the courts looking to Judg-
ment aud sale Of the lands.
Anything which would In any
way change or impair the terms
OF the mortgage contract, IL has been
decided would not be sustained by
the supreme court. Such Is the in-
tent and design Of the proposed
"stay law" and it would be q waste
Of time followed by disappointment,
to place such = law on the statute
books. The only manner by or
through which relief could be Sc
cured would be from the passage OF
a Law similar to Senate Bill No.
one, introduced by Mr.. Mohler, of
Saline county. The bill Is printed
in full on another column, and by q
careful perusaI, 1t will be seen that
ID does not interfere with any pro-
vision OF the mortgage contract, but
simply regulates the court proceed
ings which shall be the basis Of
judgment and sale OF such mort
gagged property. II will be seen that
provisions are made for notices,
writs, pleas, etc covering a period
Of eighteen months, aud nj the end
of that time the shylUck secures his |
pound Of flesh, hut the proceedings
have been such n to preserve for
the victim every drop Of blood. And
In this mode Of procedure the interest
OF the money lender has ever been
protected. aud at the end he lnses
not n cent of his interest, but the
land owner 10 given a chance to
catch his second breath, and meet
the judgment with cash instead of
his home.

KANSAS HILLS.

Commissioner Bettos, Of the bu-
reaa Of labor aud industrial statis-
tics, has compiled for his forthcom-
ing annual report some very valu-
able statistics regarding the milling
industry OF the state which 10 treat
cd separately, ~ Il has been In all
the prsesdisg reports, the commits
sioner regarding this as the most
important branch Of our local in
dustries. SeveRty-two counties are
represented In the tables, which
give the location Of every mill, the
motive power used, capital, number
OF bushels Of grain ground during
the year and cost Of same, number,
Of barrels Of product manufactured
and value, hands employed and
number Of sets Of rolls or buhrs
used In the process Of manufsctur-
ing.
The information gathered from
these tables IL again presented 10
condensed tables and q very intelli-
gent view Of this important industry
can be gained from these deductions.
Two hundred aud twenty-four
mills with . capital Of 80, 4Ol ,552,
make reports. These mills use ! ISL
sets Of rolls aud 25l pair Of buhrs In
the manufacture Of -four. Only Is
$40 per cent Of the product was
ground by the buhrs, and this
chiefly In the form Of corn meal.
The commissioner regards buhr
-four rs . thing OF the past, 80 far e.
Kansas 10 concerned. From this
report we learn that Kansas has
many first class mills fully equipped
with all the latest inventions In the
way Of machinery, and more are In
process Of construction. One mill
reports an invested capital Of $780,
600, eight range from sl00,0O0, nine
from ga, 900 to 100000 seven from
$4,000 to $4,000 fifty-two from
$4,000 to $4,000, and the rest re-
present smaller amounts. The
business Of -four making H. increas-
ing In the larger cities Of the state,
and Kansas -four already has q we'll
established reputation In Europe.
Nearly 3,OOO,tOO barrels were pro-
duced during the year ending June
80, 1889. The average cost Of grain
was about ~ cents and some 1000
90 bushels was ground. This part
Of the report is very valuable,
especially to millers, aud il 10 to be
regretted that larger edition is not
published.
