Bill Changes Cost Plan.

Jefferson City-Representative Kies
of Cape Girardeau county nitro
duced a bill in the house which, if
passed, will deny the right of counties
to call on the state to pay costs in
criminal cases and will stop the state
tax on dramshop licenses. The latter
provision is said to be intended to
offset the county unit bill, already
gone to engrossment in the house,
which permits counties to vote as a
whole upon anti-liquor propositions.
The Kies bill is certain to provoke
spirited discussion when it comes up.
1t will reyol4tionize the present sys-
tenn, by whicRothe state bears practi-
cally all thg Expenses Of criminal
case in the county, placing the bur-
den upon the counties. 1t reads, in
part:
Thereafter 1t shall be the duty Of all
counties to pay the costs in all Grim
inal cases which would therefore, UNI
der existing laws, have been certified
to the state auditor for payment by
the state.
"All taxes levied on dramshop IL
censes shall be levied only for county,
city or town purposes, and no tax for
state purposes shall be levied o col
lected on such license. Such dram
shop license shall not be less than
$3.50 nor more than $3.50 for county
purposes for every period Of six
months, and in addition thereto the
proper authorities of Incorporated
towns or cities may impose an add
tional license tax, by ordinance, for

AMENDMENTS TO
CHILD LABOR LAW
SPEAKER sPEER YIELDS eAvEL
TO FORD AND PRESENTS
RESOLUTION.
PLAN NEW PRISON FACTORY
Measure Provides for Plant in Peni-
Tertiary for the Manufacture
Of Road and Bridge
Material.

jefferson City.-Speaker Speer yield
ed the rostrum the first time during
the session to Speaker Pro TEN Ford
In order to introduce from the floor,
by unanimous consent, an amendment
to the child labor law.
Two years ago Mr.. Speer amended
the bill when it came from the senate,
where it was fathered by Senator Kin
ney of st. Louis. This amendment
limited it's provisions to cities with a
population of more than 10000. MI.
Speer's amendment extends the law
throughout the state.
The amendment, however, exempts
from its provisions stores where less
than ten persons are employed. In all
other places children under IA are
prohibited from holding a gainful oc-
cupation. The law as amended is said
to have the Endorsement of the social
legislation advocates of st. Louis, in
GLIDING the business organizations and
women's clubs.
The house again decided to hold a
Saturday session, though the senate
adjourned over until Monday. An eff
fort was made in the house to follaw
the senate's lead for the longer ad-
journment, but the leaders, including
Speaker Speer, urged a session in or
der that the crowded calendar may be
cleared. The senate Is far in advance
of the house and there are now o
than 800 bills pending in the latter
branch.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Spence
of Stoddard county providing for a
board of commissioners for the promo
ton of uniformity of legislation, the
board to be composed of three mem
bers appinted by the governor.
The object of the measure, it is
stated, is to bring about uniform laws
respecting divorce, marriage, insolv-
ency, the descent and distribution of
property, the execution and probate Of
Wills and other subjects upon which
uniformity of legislation in various
states and territories is desirable.
Among the bills sent ito engross-
ment was the bill introduced by Mr..
Busche of st. Louis, which limits the
working hours Of females to nine
hours daily, or 54 hours a week. This
bill, if passed, will prevent girls from
working in all-night restaurants
throughout the state, the hours Of
their daily employment being given as
between 5 a. m. and 10 p. m. 1t APP
plies with equal force to laundries,
factories and mercantile establish
ments.
Telephone operators are not affect
ed by the proposed law, nor are fe-
males employed in a mercantile estab'
lishment where not more than three
of their number work.

Kinney Holds Up Court Bill.

Jefferson City.-The senate commit

a favorable report on the municipal
court bill for st. Louis, when a tele-
gram from Senator Thomas =. Kinney
of st. Louis to Senator Fields, chair
mar Of the committee, asking for an
opportunity to be heard, was received.
Because the st. Louis senator de-
sires a hearing, Senator Fields would
not report the bill. Several amend
ments have been agreed to, only one
Of which is Of any public concern.
