KILL RESLER LOAN BILL
Senate Couldn't Give Constitutional
Majority to Big Measure.

The final vote on the Resler farm
loan bill in the senate stood 10 to Is,
the bill failing of passage for lack or
the required constitutional majority

final consideration. The Res1er bill
was that providing for the issuance of
bonds based upon farm mortgages for
which deeds of trust were to be de-
posted with the state treasurer 1t is
a development of an idea employed by
European countries for facilitating
loans on real estate.
The success of the Resler bill which
passed the house of representatives
by a safe vote and came close to be-
ing passed by the upper Legislative
house was a surprise to the oppon-
ents of the bill. With a start such as
it has obtained at the present
session it will not be remarkable if
such an enactment is made at some
session of the Kansas legislature be-
fore many more years have passed
Kansas is about to start upon an ex-
pertinent with mortgage registration
law, substituting a fee for the usual
property tax and much of the senate's
opposition to the Resler bill was based
upon the fear that it might complicate
a situation which will be somewhat
disturbed until the registration bill
has been tried out.

him. His parents, officers, friends and
relatives made a diligent search for
him in Topeka, but their efforts were
fruitless. To his mother. this was a
terrible blow. Years passed and no
tidings came of the lost boy. Search
was made, letters written, but no con-
meeting link could be found to trace
down the whereabouts of Charles
Dawson.
The father died and the family left
Topeka and located in Concordia, Kan.
The mother married again, the other
children grew up and scattered.
And for al! those years, only the
memory remained of Charles Dawson,
yet his mother, hoping against hope,
firmly believed that some day he
would return to her. Her name is Mrs.
Douglas Greenwood, of Concordias
Concordia Incident.
All went on the same until few
days ago. A vio1inist was billed for
a concert in Concordia opera house.
Cards were to be printed in a news
paper office: Talmage Dawson, a
brother of Charles Dawson, is fore
man of that plant. As he picked up
one of the bills, he discovered a family
likeness in the photograph and glanced
down at the name. He felt a strange
thrill as he saw the name, Charles
Dawson on the sheet.

The reason he left Topeka was be-
cause he was induced to go on the
road with a troupe of musicians. He
later completed a three-year musical
course in Salt Lake city; he has han

Alaska, Canada, Japan, the United
States and elsewhere.
According to press reports, Charles
Dawson is not only a finished violin

she has done. But it happened that
other Alabama suffragists do talk
about Mrs. Taylor and have told Of
the wonderful work she has done for
her state, and the marvellous enthusi-

She is very much interested in Y.

in church work as she is in suffrage

after talking to her, that these two
should go hand in hand-certainly

Taylor tell of the hard work Of the
women before and during the SEES

of the splendid work of some, of the

failed them, and it was easy to see
