STRIKING ATTHE ROOT
No More of Fraudulent Loan Com
panies That Have Swindled East
ern Investors.

Some measure is likely to pass the
next legislature which viii have for
its object the protection of both bor-
rowers and eastern investors in the
matter of making investments in kan
sas mortgages.
Such a measure is already being dis
cussed by some of the newly elected
members, and should such a bin be
proposed would be one at least that
could not be picked to pieces by the
eastern press and its readers, as the
eastern people would perhaps be the
class that would be most directly bene-
flied.
The proposed measure will be some
what along the lines that were rec
commended in the report of the state
bank commissioner in his report two
years ago. At the session of the leg1S-
lature in 1895 a bill was introduced in
accordance with these recommends
tiOns and passed the senate, but failed
to pass the house. This time the same
party being in control of both branches
of the legislature will enable them to
pass such a measure should it be in
trOduced. The proposed measure is in
effect to place loan companies doing
business in the state under the super
vision of the bank commissioner, and
make such companies conform to the
provisions of the present banking law
as near as practical, and enacting that
where q loan company guarantees the
Ors that it shall deposit with the state
treasurer 10 per cent of the amount of
the loans so guaranteed in securities
to be approved by the department. This
fund in the hands Of the state treas
urer would be held as q guarantee fund
for the payment of mortgages and other
securities that had been negotiated by
the company. It would act it is
claimed, similar to the present law in
states that require insurance cOmpa-
MES to keep a guarantee fund on de-
pOSit with the states for the protection
of their policy holders, and would pre-
vent companies with a few thousands
of capital guaranteeing millions of dol
lars of securities which they negotiate
in the east. without laying aside any
of their assets to make good the guar
antee when they are called on to pay
it. The friends of the measure pro
posed say that the loan companies of
this state have never been under any
kind of state supervision and this fact
has enabled any one that has desired
to run a company of this character to
go into business and in some cases
eastern investors have been led to pur-
chase securities on the strength of the
guarantee of a company that failed
long before the securities which they
sold became due. In cases of this kind
the eastern purchaser frequently found
that he had been taken in, both as to
antee, and such experiences as these
have created a prejudice against Kan
sas securities " hich companies that are
doing a legitimate business have had
to fight and have in a great measure
never been able to overcome The peO-
that this fact has reacted on the bOr-
rovers IN Kansas and has made it so
that it was hard for them to borrow
needed capital at reasonable rates.

We're charged up at rs cents apiece. Mr.
Aber was Immediately called down on
this point by Auditor Cole. and the bin
reduced several dollars before payment
was made
The point made by Auditor Cole was
that the price charged for the meals was
in excess of the price usually paid by
sheriffs when transferring prisoners. It
Is the intention of Auditor Cole to be per-
pS-~-nting bills to the state for payment,
and each statement presented receives

his opinion, there is excess in the
charges made to the state. the bill is al
