KANSAS OFFES RIGHTS

tContinued from Page One.l
Scully moved from England to the
United States and became a natural
lied citizen of this country. Then the
alien land act was repealed.
Now the question is up again. The
federal government wants to know if
Kansas guarantees to residents of for
eign countries properly rights In TINS
state. If not. then several foreign
in particular-con-
templates a denial to the Kansans and
residents of the United States the
right of property ownership. The at
torney general. however. has ruled
that the right of an alien is guaran-
teed under the bill of rights.
Explanation to Capper.
Commenting on the Lansing letter.
Attorney General Brewster wrote to
Charles Sessions, secretary 20 Gov
ernor Capper, as follows:
Section IT of the Bill of Rights of
the Kansas constitution provides that
no distinction shall ever be made
between the citizens of the state of
Kansas and the citizens of other
states and territories of the United
States in reference to the purchase,
enjoyment or descent of property. The
rights of aliens in reference TO the
purchase, enjoyment or descent OF
property may be regulated by law
This was adopted in 1888 The or
iginal section of the constitution read:
. No distinction shall ever be made
between citizens and aliens in refer
ence to the purchase, enjoyment or
descent of property.
After the adoption of this section
of the bill of rights as it now stands,
the legislature passed what is known
as the aliens land law. prohibiting
aliens from holding land. This was
afterward repealed and the rights OF
the aliens to the purchase, enjoyment
or descent of property in Kansas now
depends upon the common law and not
upon the statute of this state.

New Board of Managers After
Old Soldiers Home.
Too Many Employees, SO Down
Comes the Axe.

The new board of manager rs of the
State Soldiers Home at Dodge City
has started house cleaning. There
are too many teachers too many en-
ployees, toe heavy pay roll and too
much general expense. The board
holds. Besides, number of the en-
ployees are Democrats and the house
cleaning is to be thorough and the re-
organization systematic.
One of the first places where trouble
will start for the soldier home en-
ployees is in the management of the
soldier cemetery. Then the under
taker at the home is to lose his job.
Next few teachers in the school are
TO be separated from the pay roll.
There may be other changes later.
Just now the board will give its un-
divided attention to these matters.

Another place to be removed is the

state will save that money.
There is also a soldiers home

Today Colonel Harrison appealed to

school and the teachers to be dis

year by a Democratic official.
