““Originally aliens and citizens were upon an equality in Kansas so far as the inheritance of property was concerned. The constitution provided that: ‘No distinction shall ever be made between citizens and aliens in reference to the purchase, enjoyment or descent of property.’ (Bill of Rights, § 17, Compiled Laws, 1885, § 99.) “At the general election in 1888 this provision was stricken from the constitution and in its place a provision was inserted providing, among other things, that: ‘The rights of aliens in reference to the purchase, enjoyment or descent of property may be regulated by law.’ (Bill of Rights, § 17, Gen. Stat. 1909, § 99.) “It is a settled principle of the common law that there can be no inheritance by, through or from an alien.””
