MUST Sell AT OWNERS PRICE
Bill in Senate Hits Real Estate Agents
KS Who Pocket Excess.


Real estate dealers who have been
fattening their bank accounts by get
ting owners to place a valuation on
property placed in t cir hands and
then selling such property for much
higher prices. pocketing the increase
as we'll as their commissions, will be
hard hit if a bill introduced in the
senate by Nighswonger of Sedgwick
is passed. The bill makes it a crime
for a real estate dealer to sell property
at a price higher than that fixed by
the owner without the owners con-
sent. 1t provides that violations shall
be punished by jail sentences of six
months or fines of $500 or both.
A bill of far reaching provisions was
put in by Senator Satterthwaite today.
1t provides that corporations organized
under the laws of the state may go
back to the old interlocking system so
long as they do not violate the anti
trust laws. The bill was drawn. it is
said, to give Kansas corporations the
same privileges enjoyed by foreign
corporations doing business in the
state and to permit them to invest
their capital stock and surpluses in
bonds of other corporations and espe-
cially liberty bonds. 1t is stated that
a number of corporations have made
these investments in order to help the
recent liberty loan drives and that
they have their 1undS tea up III an
illegal way as a result.
Senator Whitney has introduced an
other wide open municipal Industry
bill. 1t provides that whenever and
as often as 20 per cent of the qualified
voters of a city demand an election
for the voting of bonds for the opera
ton of a municipal light. water or ice
plant or a municipal market or coal
yard or a telephone system, such cleo
ton shall be held and the city shall
issue such bonds if the majority OF
the voters demand it.
Another bill of general interest that
went in today was by Senator Ander-
son to prevent creameries from show
ing discrimination by permitting their
agents to pay higher prices for butter
fats than the creameries pay the pro-
ducers direct
The ways and means committee put

 Representatives J.

The re-submission of the new constitution adopted by the con- vention of 1918, at the election in November, 1920, will give the people chance to pass upon large body of proposed laws for the state. At the time this is written, the submis- sion of the constitution seems to be assured, as it has already passed the senate, and has 51 pledged votes in the house.
 It is admitted by all that the docu- ment drafted by the convention of 1918 is one of he strongest and best ever presented to the people, and statesmen are still at loss to de- termine just why it was rejected. It has been pruned and changed con siderably. The prohibition and the suffrage provisions have been elimi- hated, and the I & R amendment initiated by the Direct Legislation League has been substituted for that drafted by the convention, the pro- vision for an increase in the Supreme Court as submitted by the legislature has been substituted for that of the convention, the bond provision has been restricted to cities of 15,000 pOPuldtiOh anu ofNi, anu OtAiSi Nhuh Q es have been made that it is believ- ed will remove the objectionable features.

it had been used very much, while
the rest of the house showed some
