FARMERS GET BIG SHARE
UNIVERSITY AMENDMENT EN-
TiRELY REIMBURsEs FARMERS.
That Is Why Most Prominent and
Enlightened Agriculturists Are
Strong In lts Support.

II Constitutional Amendment No. II
which the farmers of Missouri will
pay for the support of the University
will undoubtedly be entirely applied
to the support of the Agricultural Col
lege, which is department of the
University. At three-tenths of a mill
per dollar of assessed valuation, the
rate proposed by the amendment, the
farmers of the state on present valu-
alton Of property, will pay $147,0O0
per year. This year over $150,000 of
the states money is being expended
in the College of Agriculture, together
with it's experiment station, and the
intention in the future is to devote
an even larger proportion of the Uni
versity income to that purpose.
This amendment is receiving hearty
support from farmers and others in
terested in agriculture throughout the
state. Among the prominent farmers
who are heartily indorsing the prop
osition is Robert F. lesson, chairman
of the Missouri State Cow Test AS
sociation. He says: knowing as |
do the excellent work that the State
University is doing for the agricul-
tural interests of the country and re-
alizing fully that the foundation Of
permanent prosperity is based on ag-
griculture, l am in position to as
sure you that that proposition to be
submitted to the voters of Missouri
for the proper maintenance of the
University meets with my most hearty
approval and feel confident that
every farmer who is at all interested
in the successful pursuit of his calling
will realize the great opportunity here
presented for placing on a firm foun-
dation/ the instruction necessary for
the permanent prosperity of our
state"

ENDORSED BY BOTH PARTIES.
Democrats and Republicans Alike Ex
press Favor Toward Amendment.

One of the proposed amendments to
the constitution to be voted for in No
vember provides for permanent, sep
arate income to the State University
of three-tenths of a mill per dollar as
sessed valuation of property in Mis-
souri,.
Both the Democratic and Republi-
can state conventions, held at Jeffer-
son City on September 14th, declared
in favor of the plan by a specific
plank in their platforms, and it is pre-.
dicted by prominent members of both
parties that OH November Sth the vot.
ers of Missouri will roll up an over.
whelming majority in favor of Amend
ment No. II, the last amendment on
the ballot"
That this rate, &c per 500, Is emf
nently reasonable, appears from the
fact that in Michigan the rate is four
and three-fourth cents, in Colorado
cents, and in Nebraska 10 cents on
every hundred dollars assessed vaIu
alton. That no burden is imposed by
the amendment upon the people Of the
state is evident from the fact that the
assessed valuation averages only one
third of the real value, and .conse
quently person owning property val
ued at $1,000.00 will pay only 10 cents
per year for the University.
