Farm Tenantry Bill Offered in Kansas Legislature
Topeka Feb 1 a bill to enact the farm tenancy amendment approved at the 1920 general election was introduced in the house today. It provides for a state bond not exceeding 3 000 000 to sue for loans at low interest to help people buy farm homes. The 1921 legislature failed to act on the farm amendment. A house committee report favored 175 000 for a women's dormitory at Kansas State Agricultural College, while a bill to extend the college in southeastern and northeastern areas was reported unfavorably. A proposed Nickerson branch, Arkansas Valley Agricultural School, would seek 56 000 annually for two years. A building and loan division of the State Banking department would appoint a bureau supervisor at 3 600 and a deputy at 2 400 for four-year terms.
