4fUTuRfsT UNDER KANSAS Law.
All General Jackson Decides Against
Commission Men.

Topeka July l.-Several Of
the Kansas City commission men
who we're in ToDeka before the
State Charter Board several
weeks 400. appeared before At
torney General Jackson Frida y,
accompanied by Senator James F.
Getty of WysDdotte county.
They were in conference with
Mr. Jackson for over two hours
regarding his INTERPRETATION of
the word future" as applied to
grain deals.
He has given it as his opinion
that a future or option on grain
business, unless the parties en-
gagged are actually in position 20
deliver the grain. is illegal under
the Kansas statutes. They wart.
ed to know yesterday what be
would hold to be futures. They
did not raise the question as to
whether or not the new Board of
Trade is to be granted a charter
to do business in Kansas.
There was nothing in the ma
ture Of a stormy session." said
the Attorney General last night.
We did not talk about the char
ter business at all. Assuming
that the charters desired would be
granted these Inen wanted to
know how | would interpret the
word future They we're fair
and appear to be doing a good
business. | have taken no action
in the matter whatever"
The men who we're in Topeka
were headed by Z. c. Christy. a
prominent commission man. and
W. L. Woods of Kansas City,
Kansas. The companies repre-.
sented by these men want to
move from Missouri to Kansas
because Missouri has imposed a
tax of 10 cents on every deal made
in futures. They want charters
authorizing them to do business
in Kansas and have made applica-
tion to the Kansas board. The
board has it under consideration
and as soon a : all of its members
get back into town will thresh the
matter out. The only point
raised is &C m whathar or NOT tho
business proposed is lawful.

Something Might Happen.

The advance in the price of
September wheat" to 81 per
bushel will add little to the gen.
eral interest in the Kansas har-
vest. The gamblers quotations
on wheat futures have little bear.
ing on the cash price which the
wheat grower receives for his
grain. But it is possible that the
price of September" may be
lifted" to a point from which it
cannot BE reduced before Kansas
gets ready to deliver the goods.
In that case the wheat book
makers" will meet with disaster.
