This is a much higher tax than last
years. One reason for the higher
tax this year is the imposition of
the one-rnill tax voted by the last
legislature for school purposes.
This for the city amounts 10 $3.50.
Another unusual item is the pay
ment of the school district loan OF
$1,000. The school district tax is

that 1o of the II counties lost in
population as compared with the last

was presiding over the senate, and as
he proceeded to the hall of the House
of Representatives where the two
bodies in joint session were to re-
ceive the new governor, he lolled back
in his chair on the presidents stand
and smoked big corncob pipe with
the utmost nonchalance.
The Senate lobby was crowded, and
senators were in their seats, on the
tiptoe of expectancy, for the strains
of martial music could be heard from
all directions. At this juncture a fig
ure in glittering and brilliant uni
form pushed through the crowd and
marched halfway up the aisle. This
was Marshal of the Day Hawley.
Drawing his sword, he made pro-
found military salute, and announced.
with much pomposity:
"Mr. President the governor OF
Missouri and his staff now approach"
Without removing his pipe from his
mouth, Brockmeyer responded:

Every United States census ex-
cept that of 1870 has shown an ex-
cess of the male population over
the female. In 1870 there were
more women than men in the coun-

the losses among men in the civil
war.
