Law Governing Associations
KANSAS Cry, Kan, Oct. 29.--The
Kansas State League Of Local Build
ing and Loan associations held its third
annual meeting yesterday. officers
for the next year were elected as fol.
lows: c. S. Hartough, Leavenworth,
PRESIDENT J. S. Edwards, Leavenworth,
secretary and treasury. The principal
feature Of the proceedings was the
discussion Of needed legislation rela-
tive to building and loan associations
The committee on legislation was in
structed to draft bill and have it in
PRODUCED in the next legislature. The
Kansas law, it is said, is prac-
tically worthless, as it offers
no protection whatever to share
holders in the associations against
fraudulent enterprises and dis
honest officials. The committee is to
prepare a bill embodying all the es-
sential and best features Of all the
building and loan laws Of the different
states and make it model law. There
are now 500 charters in the state, but
only about 80 Of the associations are
actively at work. With good law
which will give ample protection to
shareholders there is no reason why
every town should not have at least
one association. The next meeting Of
the state league will be held at Pitts
burg next wear.
