ORDERS WILL LOBBY.
F'ratenities Would Be Exempt From
Taxation in Kansas.

Kansas fraternal orders will urge the
passage of a law this winter which will
exempt these organizations from taxation
on the grounds that they are charitable
institutions. Already legislative commit
tees are being formed amongg a num-
Der of the fraternaI orders doing business
in the state and it is probable that these
organizations will maintain a strong lobby
-dring the next session
A law similar to the one proposed has
been presented to Kansas legislatures be-
fore 1t was never received with favor and
the Kansas law makers refused to recog-
nize fraternal orders and their holdings as
operating under the classification OF
strictly charitable institutions.

Miss Shaw told of the 10000 Slavonic
immigrants who live on four city blocks
near the Armour packing plant in Kan

lilies live in one and two-story frame
houses; that the same rooms are oc-
cupied by some families in the day
time and by others at night. according
to the working and sleeping hours of
the respective families.
To better these conditions is part of
the work of the society. In spite of
these conditions, the management of the
settlement house which is built in the
netghborhood. has established cooking
and music classes for girls, provided
club rooms and is doing an uplifting
work similar to that of the Provident
association in Topeka.
