Secretary Bush is discovering many
things of value in his investigation OF
the chartered corporation of the state.
Most church charters provide that
they shall exist perpetually or until
+ he end of time. He finds that where
no definite time is stated that charter
expires in 20 years. So far rs the
church work is concerned it makes
very little difference. but to protect
business transactions it is necessary
that the charter be kept in effect. Mr..
Bush believes that the charters of
more than half the churches of Kansas
have expired.
