NO TRUST DEEDS IN KANSAS
The Proposed Measure Defeated in
Senate After Much Debate.

AS far as the upper house of the
present legislature is concerned, there
will be no change in the mortgage law
of this state. The Harris deed of trust
bill was killed by the senate late yes
terday afternoon by a vote of 20 nays
to 16 yeas.
When the senate took up the consid-
Grafton of the measure yesterday after
noon, the question was on the amend
ment offered by Senator Lamb, (Rep-,
WOOdSOn county,. This amendment,aS
stated in the State Journal last evening,
consisting in striking out all of the
bills after the enactng clause, and sub
shutting the mortgage redemption law
in force in this state prior to the pas
sage of the present law in 1898. In sup
port of this statement, Senator Lamb
made a lengthy speech in which he
said:
I don't want to see this deed of
trust bill passed because / am opposed
to any law that viii make it easier
than it is now to deprive the citizens
of this state of their homes. l
don't know of any cry having gone up
from the people of this state for this
legislature to enact a law that will
make it easier for a man to lose his
home This deed of trust bill will place
the farmers of this state in the hands
of the mortgage companies, and estab-
iSh an easy way by which the man
who holds the mortgage may become
the owner. The law which 1 here offer
as a substitute is just in its provisions,
and should never have been stricken
from the statute books
Sena tor Lambs speech was the com
mencement of a discussion which last
ed for an hour. and was entered into
by Populist and Republican members.
Senator Coleman, (Rep., Nemaha coun-
ty) in opposition to the substitute,
said:
L am decidedly in favor of a deed
of trust bill The present is a time of
money stringency, and I believe in do
ing everything possible to bring CAPT
tai into the state. If we pass such
bill as this deed of trust bill, we will
thereby throw additional safeguards
of security around investments, and
people who have money will tumble
over themselves to loan it in this state.
I also think that the passage of this
bill will make a reduction in the rate
of interest, and that money can be bor-
rowed as low as five per cent Such a
law ould, in my judgement, accomp-
lish a saving of thousands of dollars to
the people of this state
Senator Helmick, Pop., Chautauqua
county)-The possibility of reviving
credit by the enactment of laws, is,
believe. a myth. Capita will seek in
vestment wherever it is sure, and wher-
ever the interest will come back read
lily. 1 do not believe that a deed of
trust law would be of any benefit to

W. S. WAIT WANTS $3.50.
He Claims There was No Cause for
His Removal From Office.

w. S. Wait of Lincoln, who was a mem
Der of the state board of charities under
the LeWelling admins tratiOn. and VINO
was removed by an Investigating COM
mittee, has petitioned the legislature to
make an appropriation of $3.50 to remun-
crate him for loss and liability incurred
by reason of such veStigation and re-
moval.
The petition recites that the removal
was the result of political prejudice 1t
contains the following statements
For four years I served my country in
the war of the rebellion. l was actively
engaged in the memorable battles of Fort
Donaldson and Pittsburg Landing. and in
the siege and battle of Corinth. and was

INDECENT one? What consistency is
there in such logic?
Either all men have equal rights, -
or they have not. All men have the
right to enjoy the wealth they produce
or they have not. These are self-evi-
dent truths-the law of being There
are no ifs or "ands' or butts in the
case. Men may stand on an elevation
and be able to overlook their fellows,
nevertheless it brings them but little
nearer the stars
II a man by his individual eXertions
produces an income of 81, 000,0 900 a year
by the law of being. by the law of
Justice it is his, against all others;
just as much and no more, as my in
come of 800 year is mine; and to
take from one the least part of his in
come for the benefit of the other or the
state. is to violate the law of equal
freedom ''-''equal rights"
But if any man has an income of ST.
100000 more or less, not due to his in
dividual exertions, but derived from
some monopoly, some special privilege
based on the power to exact tribute
from Others-that is. to take unjustly
from the incomes of others-then in
stead of proposing to tax such unjust
incomes two or ten per cent-thereby
legalizing the robbery-it would show
a little more craftsmanship, to abolish
the monopoly or special privilege. If
that We're done, then all other mems in
comes would be augmented to the ex-
tent of the monopoly abolished, and not
two or five per cent, as proposed by
the advocates of an income tax

WON'T COMPLETE THE CAPITOL
Senate Committee Report Against the
Sterne Bill to Complete It

It is doubtful if the present legisla-
ture will consent to the completion of
bill introduced in the senate by Senator
Sterne. Several days ago q joint COM
mittee, consisting of Senators Level
ling and Jumper and Representa- ives
Gillespie, Marty and Richards was ap-
pointed to confer with the executive
council in reference to the matter, and
last evening this committee submitted
the following report:
We, your committee consisting of sub
committees of ways and means of both
the senate and the house, appointed to
confer with the executive council rela-
tive to a tax levy for state house i'm
provements report that in consideration
of the necessity for more important de-
mands of public benefit and of the
heavy burdens already imposed upon
the people in the way of taxation. deem
it unwise at this time to make any
levy for this purpose"
The bill introduced by Senator Sterne
provided for the levying of one-quarter
of a mill of tax on every dollar of taxa
BILE property in the state. The amount
that would result from such a tax
would be sufficient to complete the cap
itoI building.
At the conference between the COM
rnittee and the executive council, Gov
ernOr Geedy strongly opposed such a
levy. He said that the people of Kan
sas were now suffering from excessive
taxa ton, and that every additional levy,
no matter how small, would be felt.
He also stated that in his opinion, there
was no absolute need for the compile
ton of the building, and that the mat
ter could rest until the state was in a
better financial condition than at pres
ent.
The senate ways and means commit
tee has not yet passed upon the bill. If
the final decision of the committee is to
report it unfavorably, Senator Sterne
will then endeavOr to have a direct ap-
preparation made. sufficient to partially
complete the capitol, and improve the

The president of the Single Tax
League writes to the Journal as fol-

Captain W. H. Morris, state auditor,

the people of our state I am opposed
to the repeal of the present redemp-
ton law because 1 believe it is hui
name in its provisions. The deed of
trust is an invention to enable people
to secure small loans at a low rate of
interest The intention is good, but it
is very doubtful if such a law would
benefit US at this time.
At the conclusion of the discussion,
the vote was taken on Senator Lambs
amendment, and it was lost. The ques-
ton of the final passage of the bill was
then put, but before the roll call was
commenced Senator Lamb claimed the
floor and again spoke in opposition to
the bill. He said:
I want to impress upon the minds
of the senators present. that if you told
your constituents in the last campaign
that you would come to this legislature
and pass a bill that would take away
their right to go into court and have
their business matters adjudicat ted, you
would not be occupying seats as mem
bers of this body today 1t may be true
that the passage of bill like this
would enable US for a year or two to
experience a little influx of money into
this state. but the time of retribution
would come, the time when your homes
would be sold like chattels on the
block. Then, would the voice of an
outraged people be heard, crying out at
your injustice
The roll call resulted in 20 senators
voting against the passage of the bill,
and 16 voting in favor of it. The vote
was as follows:
Senators voting in favor of the pas
sa ge of the bill were: Messrs. Battey,
Campbell, Coleman, Crossan, Hanna,
Hessin, Householder, Johnson, Jumper,
Matthews, Morrow, Shafer, Sheldon,
Sterne, Stocks, Wallack.
Senators voting in the negative were:
Messrs. Armstrong, Benson, Braddock,
Caldwell, Cooke, Farrelly. Field. For
ney, Fulton, Hart, Helmick, Lamb, Lee

Ryan, Titus, Young, thinner.
