Missouri
Legislature
J Pass Cooper Enabling Act.

By a vote of 121 to IL the house
Thursday afternoon passed Senator
Cooper's enabling act, with the adop-
ton of one slight amendment, which.
it is believed, will be acceptable to the
senate, to which it must be returned.
The first test of strength came when
Representative Harris offered an
amendment, to which Representative
Cross offered a substitute. The sub
stitute was adopted by a vote or rs
to 62, showing all the members pres
ent but seven. This indicated a suffi-
Client number to pass the bill, but u
being required, though it gave no indi-
cation Of the practically unanimous
vote which followed, when the meas
Nre as amended by the substitute was
put upon its final passage for the
adoption of the bill. 1t came as a sur
prise to even the friends of the bill.
Pemberton Bill Is Amended.
For the purpose Of making it more
nearly conform to the senate bill, that
it might at least have a chance OF
passage, though there is abundant rea-
son to believe that the obsequies may
as we'll be ordered, the Pemberton bill,
sent to engrossment a few days ago,
was reconsidered in the house Thurs
day, occupying practically the entire
session, that it might be subjected to
amendment.
House Bill Passed Senate.
The first house bill to get through
the senate passed late Thursday af-
ternoon. 1t was the Crossley bill, pro-
viding that cities of the third class
shall have the right to vote franchises
for lighting purposes by a majority in
stead of by the two-thirds, as is now
the law. The measure only remained
passed a few moments, as Senator Nc
David urged that it be reconsidered,
as it was establishing a most danger
Gus precedent. This action was taken
and the bill was called back and laid
on the table until Friday.
Tax for Liquors.
AS the result of the hearing given to
representatives of the distilleries by
the ways and means committee of the
house Thursday night, a substitute will
be reported for the bill introduced, pro-
posing to tax distilled liquors 10 cents
a gallon. This substitute will recon-
mend a material reduction, providing
that the tax be az cents per gallon on
whisky, and that vinous liquors and
deratured alcohol be exempted from
the tax.
To Adjourn May II.
Governor Folk stated Monday that
he believed the legislature would com
plete it's work and adjourn May IL, one
week from next Saturday. Many of
the members concur in this belief.
The governor said that he would not
send any further communications to
the Legislature involving legislation.
He will, however, send a communica-
ton relative to the claim Missouri is
supposed to have against the govern
ment, estimated at about $780, 900,
part of which is said to be war claims
and part land claims. The message
will empower the committees on APP
preparations to examine into the mat
ter, and discover what, if any, grounds
exist to show the validity of these
claims and what steps should be taken
toward collecting them.

The house committee on criminal
Jurisprudence reported ~favorably on
the substitute prepared by Attorney
General Hadley for.the senate bill COW
ering defects in the law relating to
C tracks. The measure passed at
the regular session was without an
emergency clause. That was placed
upon it this time, and other deficien-
cies in it, to make it cover the finding
of the supreme court In the Oldham
case, which came from Kansas City,
were corrected by Gen. Hadley.
The house defeated the Barker bill,
which provides that the sale of a pat
ent medicine, by whatsoever name
called, which will produce intoxication,

The Swezea bill passed the house by
a vote of 109 to 90. The measure pro-
vides that 1t shall be unlawful for per-
sons or corporations engaged in the
manufacture, as wholesalers, of dis
titled, malt or intoxicating liquors to
engage, directly or indirectly, in their
retail sale as a dramshop keeper.
The house passed an appropriation
bill carrying $80,280 Wednesday, $780,.
900 of which is for the payment OF
members Of the assembly, $4,000 for
contingent expenses and $3.50 for
postage. This item for postage, to
each member $50, was incorporated
into the bill before the opinion Of At.

not be paid under the constitution was
received by the house.
The Noyes bill, seeking to fix the tel

Joseph, was passed in the house by a
vote of "a to IS.

the question is that the great railway

NIT the fact, are now foremost in their
concession that while railway facilities
and commerce is annually increasing at
rate with which they cannot hope TO

both administration men and in.

no fractional question will be raised
as to Mason's candidacy, all being
willing to accept him because he is
one of the biggest and squarest
republicans In the state and one
that will make an admirable leader.
Those who have selfish interests at
stake are loud in their assertions
that 1t is no use to consider Judge
Mason as he has declared positively
that he will not accept the nomi.

only few days ago one OF West

he believes the pressure will become
