MISSOURI POINTERS.
Timely Comment on the Course of State Affairs.

Special Correspondence.
Governor Hadley urged the Legis-
lature to increase the minimum state
tax en- dcamshop licenses from $500 a
year to $500. The Republican House
enacted such a bill, but the Senate
passed it up. When the Legislature
had adjourned the Governor felt that
the county courts, in counties which
license dramshops, should levy high
er tax than the minimum, which is
$500 a year. The maximum tax is
$500 a year. Any county court has
the right to levy that amount on every
license granted. Very few county
courts not more than six-have ever
levied more than the minimum state
tax on dramshop licenses.
In Kansas City the tax is deter
mined by the Jackson county court
which has increased the state tax to
$500 a year. In Buchanan county the
court has made the same increase, and
in St. Louis, which is not under the
jurisdiction of county court, the ex-
else commissioner has made the same
increase.
In St. Louis and in Jackson and
Buchanan counties more than three
fourths of the 1000 saloons OF the
state are located. Outside OF St. Louis
and the counties named there are only
about 900 saloons. Other counties
having complied with the Governor
suggestion, about $500 OF the 4 4,000I
saloons viii pay $500 year each to
the state, an increase Of 500 over the
rate heretofore chrrged. This increase
will result in an addition to the gen
eral revenue fund of $330,000 a year,
which will go to reduce the extra
charge On that fund for 1909 and 1910
on account OF the deficiency saddled
on the new administration by the last
Democratic administration. Thus the
deficit created by past Democratic
exuavagance and by present Demo
cratic incapacity in the Legislature
has been satisfactorily taken care OF.
The claim that Governor Hadley and
the Republican party leaders had an
alliance with the breweries and sa-
looms has been thoroughly refuted by
this and other policies adopted by the
Governor. Instead of talking against
the breweries and saloons aud acting
in their favor the Governor has put
in operation & law never invoked by
his Democratic predecessors and there
by compelled the saloons to make up
a deficit caused by Democratic finan-
ciering; and he is enforcing the laws
regulating saloons in accordance with
the promises of the Republican state
platform.

feet nearly two weeks ago.
Steam was poul ed into the remaining
portion of the tunnel for 1870 hours. and

barricade at the northern end ii was found
to be filed with carbonic &C d gas. In an
effort TO get this gas out OF the tunnel
