lcKinley For U. S. Senator.

. There are so many reasons why you
should cast your vote next Tuesday
Nor John c. Mckinley for the nomn-
ation for U. S. Senator we scarce
Nknow where to begin, and have space
Dr but few. He is a native Mis-
eourian, born and raised on farm,
|Asclf-made man, having worked his
|sway through every obstacle until he
had reached the high Office of Lieu
Etenant Governor of the Imperial State.
|,Hc is an able lawyer, splendid par
fliamentarian, an efficient presiding
ksofficer, as proved by his action as
president of the Senate. as presiding
officer of the joint sessions of the Sem
|s.ate and House during the session of
i the last Legislature, an unwavering
advocate of Republican principles and
policies, an honorable, honest, clean
man in all the relations of life. and
deserves and ought to have your vote
He is the logical Republican candi-
date for this high Office, he has served
his party well and faithfully, and
pnade good in every position to which
he has been called.
The fight is apparently between
mckinley and Kerens, and as there
are probably not half dozen Kerens
votes in Morgan county, Mckinley
should have rousing big majority in
EOld Morgan. II you would see the
Republican party Of Missouri contin-
Ne harmonious and win victories heir
by voting for Mckinley for U. S
Senator. BY vote for any Other
candidate you are helping to nomin'
ate kercns, and his nomination means
disaster and ruin to the party. Not,
for Mckinley.

OBJECTIONS 70 PROPOSED CONSTlru-
TiONM. AMENDMENT NO. 5.
Relating TO the Separation OF the Sources
of State and Local Revenue.

/. 1t discontinues all taxes (Which
are now only y cents on 500 val,ia-
ton for State purposes on real estate
and personal property and will thus
lessen or destroy the interest
of the owners Of such property in
matters of State revenue and govern
mcnt.
2. 1t confcrs the right to establish
local option on counties and cities in
the selection of subjects OF revenue
for local purposes and thus opens
wide the door to inequality and dis
elimination in the matter OF taxation
for focal purposes.
3. 1t permits both the State legis-
lature and counties and cities TO cy-
empt subjects and matters of taxation
for local purposes. 1t thus violates
the cardinal principle that all proper
ty should bear its share OF taxation
and opens the way for corporations
and others by conap' lobby influence
to bring about the exemption from
taxation of property and subjects in
which they are Interested.
4. 1t decreases the sources Of rev.
cnuc from which the Public School
ffund and the Seminary fund are now
derived without making any certain
and adequate provisions in lieu there

chises from the people, should be willing
to bear their proportionate part of the
burden of taxation The care which the
present Board of Equalization has given
to the valuation of railroads has enabled
them to place a valuation on them that
must be recognized by the railroad com.
panies as being absolutely fair. Some
railroad systems were found to be assess
ed at nearly their proper valuation, while
others seemed to enjoy a very low assess
ment. The valuation of these last nam.
ed roads were increased, and placed upon
a parity with other systems, and made to
contribute their just part of taxes to the
State.
In general way Mr.. Swangcr's adj
niinistra ion of the affairs Of the Office of
Secretary of State has been business like.

interests of the State. His record is sub.
mitted to the impartial judgment of the

Missouri has never had the ser.

the revenue necessary to run the state
government. These corporations on
various grounds, as heretofore, will
resort to the Federal courts to defeat
taxes levied against them and the COL
lection OF State revenue will be hope
lessly retarded or defeated and the
State will be confronted with INSULT
cent revenue to run its government
and support its public schools and
charitable institutions.
6. 1t permits real and personal
property now the subject of State tax
alton to wholly escape thcrefrom. for
example: The Pulitzer Publishing
Company, which publishes the POST
Dispatch, Though capitalized for 81,
900, 900 pays taxes on SII6,ooo of
personal property (Which is its total
assessment). Even this latter pro-
pe1y will, if the Amendment is adop-
ted, be no longer taxed for state pur-
poses.

and attorney OF the last named cor

is the leading advocate and champion
of the proposed constitutional
amendment. The Post-Dispatch al
SO, as would be expected, favors the
amendment.
7. None of the real estate and
personal property OF the great cor
porations of the state can, il the
amendment is adopted, be subjected
to taxation for state purposes. The
railroads alone now pay taxes on as
sessed valuation, real and personal,
of exceeding 1856 200, 900 of dollars.
This will not be subject 20 taxation
for state revenue purposes if the
amendment is adopted. Nor are
there other sufficient sources Of rev.
cnue available for state purposes than
the ,presentrate or al AM. personal
property, and thisis especially true
in view of the decreasing revenue on
dramshop licenses; over one-half O
the counties having already adoptct

facts alone are sufficient to require th'
rejection by the voters OF the pro
posed amendment.

 While it is probable that every bank operating in this state is protected from burglaries, whenever bank is robbed the institution naturally has to stand something of loss, besides the incon- venience and interruption of business. Heretofore the insuring and liability companies have been the most persistent in the attempt to bring to justice bank breaking criminals, but in future their work will be augmented by the state association s assistance and co.opera- tion.
