0. <. ON RESLER BILL.
Attorney General Brewster Gives
Opinion ON Farm Measure.

Attorney General Breswter has just
given an opinion on the Resler farm
bond bill to the effect that its provi-
sions are entirely legal and cOnstitu-
tional. The bill is now in the judi
ciary committee of the house, where
it was referred by the ways and means
committee. The Resler bill is the
same that has appeared in the senate
as the Paulen bill and it provides for
a new plan Of farm loans through the
issuance Of bonds based on real estate.
which would take their place on the
market alongside municipal and other
local bonds.
The farm bond idea. says Resler,
has been employed successfully for
many years in Holland and has re-
ceived the approval in this country OF
several mortgage companies who say
that the present cost of placing loans
absOrbs profits to make up for the
difference in interest rates. The pro-
posed farm bonds would be based di-
rectly on the real estate on which the
loan was made. Its security would
have passed the Inspection of a local
and a state board composed of Off
GERS already elected to other offices.
Interest payments would be made
through the office of country treasur-
err and in default of interest payment
the treasurer would be required by
law to foreclose on the trust deed de-
posted with him.
LOaners of money would apply to
county treaSurers or local banks and
would receive a bond, the security OF
which had already been passed upon
by the public authorities, thereby be-
ing certified. This certification would
guarantee the quieting of any title
passed. Bonds would be for periods
of five years and renewals of the loan
would be Obtainable only by the issu-
ance of new bonds by the owner Of
the real estate. There would be no
tax on such loans.

MORE BALL GOSSIP.
Local Western League Situation Re-
mains q Mystery to Fans.

Madame Rumor was on local base
ball job again today, and was author
ity for the story that was going the
rounds of the fans to the effect that
John Savage. the new owner Of the
franchise, might yet transfer the club
to Colorado Springs or some other
town.
An effort was made late this after
noon to get in touch with Savage in
Kansas City, but neither his business
associates nor his wife could locate
him.
When asked about the possibility Of
Topeka still losing her team, G. p.
Benson, cashier of the German-Amer-
lean bank, stated that he could not
give out anything and that he did not
know whether the club could now be
removed or not. When asked to give
details of the deal that was made with
Savage. after the old directors had
relinquished all claims they held
against the club, Mr.. Benson said:
You had better call Mr. Savage at
Kansas City and talk to him about
that
However, Arch NJ. Catlin, who made
the deal possible by surrendering all
the rights of the old directors, said
that Savage would have to keep the
team here because the old directors
had refused to relinquish their claims
until President O'Neill had assured
him this would be DONE

CAPPER SIGNS IT.
Governor Sends Foot and Mouth Dis
ease Bill ON Its Way.

Governor Capper this afternoon
signed the emergency bill providing
for indemnifying the owners of cattle
afflicted with the foot and mouth dis
ease. The bill passed both houses
last week. 1t will take effect as soon
as published in the State Journal, the
Official state paper.
The bill will provide for the state
paying one-haf and the federal gov
eminent one-half of the loss sus-
tanned by the farmers. 1t only affects
the foot and mouth disease, however.
The old law made the county stand
one-half of the expense, but on ac-
count Of the fast spreading of the dis
ease in a few counties, it has been a
big burden for the. localities where
the trouble has appeared.

HIS WORD IS Law
John ID. Dominates Rockefeller
Foundation, Says Walsh.
System Beats Anything De-
7 vised by Railroads or Banks.

Kansas City. Feb. 15.-Frank r.
Walsh. chairman of the federal indus
trial relations commission which has
been investigating the great philan-
thropic foundations, in state
ment today declared that John d.
Rockefeller ST., dominated the Rookie
Teller foundation which could apply
the enormous power of the money II
controls to almost any purpose it
chose.
The testimony at the New York
hearing" declared Mr.. Walsh, show
ed that the trustees of the foundation
exercised no authority that did not
come from him. 1t showed that the
directors of the foundation also were
directors of the industries from which
the foundation obtained it's funds. AS
an interlocking system it beats any
thing the railroads and banks ever
exhibited.
1.-The powers it claims and exercises
virtually are unlimited as are its fl
which should challenge the attention
of every thoughtful American citizen.
Whether such powers can be permit
ted safely In the hands of any author
ity less than that of the government
of the United States is a question
the committees forthcoming report, 1
am inclined to believe these powers
cannot be exercised under the Ameri-
can theory of government.
THE committee is not through yet
with the Rockefeller and other fOun-
dations. but this much can be said:
THE Rockefeller foundation is en-
tirely without the realm of govern
ment control.
Il am not surprised that the direc-
tors and trustees of the Rockefeller
foundation do not know some of the
. hi NJ 1~4
They do not know anything about the
foundation.
They do not see Mr.. Rockefeller
twice a year.
Mr.. Rockefeller is a very smart
man, perhaps the smartest in this
country, but he could not tell the
cOmmitte why he did not use his
profits to pay a living wage instead of
using them in the distribution Of a
charity that constituted a power which
many Americans have come to look
upon as a menace"
