WOULD INCREASE REVENUE.
Bill Would Force OIL inspectors 10
Report 20 Governor.

Jefferson City-Senator Booth OF
Dallas county is preparing bill which
he believes will pave the way for the
enactment of statute law two years
from now which will give the state
considerable revenue from coal oil In.
spection. His bill requires the coal Gil
inspectors to report to the governor
the amount of fees received for In.
speeting oils and from whom. The bill
provides penalty for failure to make
such report.
The law now requires that the sew.
eral inspectors report to the governor,
but few of them report, and those who
do report make II in such a way that
very little can be gained from them.
The coal oil inspector OF st. Louis
makes his report as required by law,
and last year turned into the state
treasury more than $4,000. He IL the
only inspector on salary basis, the
excess of the fees received being
turned into the state treasury.
The other inspectors of the state
keep all the fees they receive. Senator
Booth thiks that his bill will give the
legislature information on which TO
frame a bill placing the coal oil in.
spectors on salaries and turning the
fees into the state treasury.
The fees is IL cents per barrel in
this state. In Nebraska the fees are
10 cents per barrel and the inspection
is done by chief Inspector and sew
eral deputies. The state makes money,
Senator Booth says and he would in.
stall some such system here II the re.
ports show that the state would not
be the loser.
Some persons who claim they know
have told him that the state would
receive $4,000 annually from such a
SYSTEM of inspection as is now oper.

One measure that will be Of interest
to the travelling public Is championed
by Representative Griffith OF Bates

ing this duty upon the courts.
Bank Guaranty Bills.

Representative Griffith will present

other. Lyles Of Shannon Is the author
of another. Senator Lane is the only
senator who has n bank guaranty bill
ready and waiting.
For State Printing Plant.
Representative Coakley Of Kansas
City has bill to establish state print

Senator Casey has bills to amend
the primary laws by giving day OF
supplementary registration before the
ballot primaries now provided for by
law. He also has bill to open the
ballot boxes In cases where there is
reason to believe that the election
laws have been violated.
To Aid Poor School Districts.
Huck of Ste. Genevieve has bill
to give state aid to the school dis
tricts In the state that are too poor
to pay as much as four months of
school each year. He says there are
so districts In the state In which the
taxes levied together with the state
aid now given do not total $3.50 year.
With the other cost Of keeping a
school running, this money will hardly
pay for four months of school. Grit

dition with bill providing for con.
solidating school districts and having
the pupils from more distant parts of
the districts taken TO and from schools
in wagons.

ton doubling the liability of all state

lieves the collateral Inheritance tax

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. l, 1909.

A careful reading of the report
of the so-called telephone commit
tee leaves the impression that it
would have been just as we'll if the
committee had never been born.
Nothing of any value was learned
by the committee, and it's recon-
mendations could just as we'll have
been made, and would have been
of just as much weight, without all
the bother of getting experts here.
In short, the report is disappoint-
ment-it looks like a compromise.
This paper doubts very much if it
expresses the real views Of any
member who signed it.-Republi-
can Gazette.
Any report or any information
that does not favor the absolute
surrender to the Bell telephone trust
need not expect nor will it get the
approval of the Gazette while un-
der it's present management. The
above is clear evidence of that fact.
We would like to know in what
way the report was a disappoint-
ment to the Gazette. There was no
disagreement among the members
of the committee upon any vital
point. DR.. johnson wrote the draft
for the report, in fact, wrote two
drafts. At brief session of the
committee parts of the two reports
were adopted, which necessitated
the cutting off of some of the super.
huous verbiage. Mr.. Lawson was
then delegated to have the report
as agreed upon typewriter, and af.
ter this was done every membe,
signed the same and it was handed
to the council, which was then ir
session. We regard it as straight
forward and to-the-point report.

Observations by Clarence


While the question of amending
the constitution of the United
States is up for consideration,
think a determined effort should be
made to cut out the paragraph of
said instrument which forbids the
granting of any titles of nobility.
The provision was we'll meant and
Of some value in that day, but now
it must be patent to every observer
that we need it both from a protec-
tive and revenue point of view.
Experience has proven that when
the father becomes a millionaire
the daughters will not marry man
they must marry title or they
will feel that their lives have been
sad failures. As no such titles can
be found here, they must go to Eu-
rope for them, incidentally taking
along most of the wealth that their
father has earned by the sweat of
other mems brows. This steady
drain on the material resources of
this country cannot be stopped un-
less we provide a home market in
which titles of all kinds from baro-
nets up to princes can be bought.
Viewed from this standpoint of
creating a home market and keep
ing the money at home, every re-
publican ought to be in perfect
harmony with the plan.
But that is not all. Those who
believe in revenue with Incidental
protection" as most democrats do
expect on articles produced in their
own state. can be won over to the
plan by providing high price for
the titles. The price might range
from $l00, 900 for baronetcy to a
million for a dukedom. These
prices may seem exorbitant, but
when we remember that titles now
adays are not mere empty names
but marketable articles that will
bring from one to ten million dol
lars, it will he seen at once that it
would be a good investment. 1t
has been found in almost every
family of multi-miliionaires that
the men of the third generation are
not good for anything elise than a
titled existence, and by the time
the fourth generation is reached
we generally have to put them in
the idiot asylum. because we have
no dukedoms to put them into.
Now, 1t has also been proved that
the character of the being who has
the title for sale now cuts no figure
in the eyes Of the fair purchaser
she does not want the mamie is
only the peg on which the title
