III y letter which appears IN
this issue of The Times,
Representative Poston asks
for an expression of his constitu'
ents as to their views of raising
money with which to build new
capitol. Personally, he says, he
/ favors a direct tax; doesn't like to
vote a burden on future genera
tons. The people would hardly
stand for a direct tax for this pur-
pose to be paid in two or three
years it wOuld be too burdensOme
on the present generation. His
idea of burdenng future genera
tons by the issuing Of bonds to
RIM for a number OF years, in our
opinion, doesn't hold. The capitol
will be as much for their use aud
benefit rs for ours, aud there is no
injustice in them bearing their
part. The capitol is not a thing
of to day only II that idea were
to prevail there would be few EN-.
terprises Of any moment under
taken and there would be little
progress in any direction. Even
our public school system would be
II fixture if the school districts did
not bond themselves FOR the cree
ton Of school houses and the many
splendid high school buildings that
adoru our State, Every genera.
ton gives to the succeeding one
more than is eXucted Of it.
We believe the people ought to
build Il State Capitol that will be
a credit 10 the State, and we favor
a s., 900, 900 rather than n 81, OOO,.
600 building, aud the voting OF a
bonded Indebtedness for this pur-
pose to run from twenty to fifty
years. This could not be done I'M
der the so called emergency clause
of the constitution, but it can he
done by an amendment to the con-
stitution to be voted on at the gen
eral election in 1912. As the old
capitol building will have to be re-
paired for immediate use. aud as
it will take four or five years to
build a new capitol, twelve
month or more of Inconvenience in
transacting business in cramped
quarters would not make much diff
ference. Besides, this plan would
hardly be felt by the taxpayers of
to day or those to come after us,
and our descendants would give us
credit for building wisely.

STYLE FOR SPRING
AND SUMMER 1911.
Just What the Well Dressed Man is
TO Wear This Spring.

! Although the fashion editors of
the st. Louis daily papers, during
the meeting of The International
! Custom Cutters Association of
America, gave out that the "corset"
coat and "hobblen trousers were To
be the correct wear for men the
coming spring and summer season,
| II was all joke-far from the truth;
therefore alleged newspaper humor
is responsible for many of the in
correct ideas held by the general
public in regard t. mems fashions.
What the Correctly Dressed Man Ia
to Wear This Season:
Garments not exaggerated or
freakish, but close-fitting mot Tight
comfortable clothes with the ath-
letic appearance in expanded chest,
natural shoulders, closer-fitting
backs. Length for average height
e. feet 5 inches is to be 30 10 81
inches; shorter than the past sea-
SON
For the past two seasons the high
class trade has gone along in the d.
rection of closer-ftting coats and
trousers. This season, however,
for the first time the vogue OF fitting
garments will be extended to the
trade as whole, and every mcr-
Ichant tailor and cutter is to produce
for his customers garments that
outline the figure and bring out all
it, good points.

~MN considering bill IN the
State Senate last Friday for
a change in the method OF
distributing the State gOod.roads
fund, some of the St Louis Sena-
tors injected into the discussion the
oft heard complaint that their city
pays into the State Treasury pro-
rata of revenue in undue proper.
ton to the benefit received in re.
turn therefrom. The good. roads
fund is derived chiefly from auto
mobile licenses aud from the spe-
cial stamp tax on deals in futures.
Several of the st. Louis Senators
commended, as if the fact carried
with it some measure of injustice,
that while the revenue derived from
these sources would come largely
from st. Louis owners OF sutOmO-
biles and dealers in futures in that
city, it would all go to improve
roads outside the large cities and
to build up the country districts.
That may be true, although auto
mobiles are not by any means con.
fined to the big cities, yet st. Louis
has no real cause of complaint, for
while it may not receive any direct
benefit from the fund derived from
these sources in the improvement
of its streets, it is an indirect bene.
fciary. Good roads throughout
the State would build mp the conn
try districts from which the large
cities derive much of their trade
and support, so that il drifts back
TO them in that way.
In this st. Louis bears the same
relation to the State that cities OF
the fourth class do to the cOuntie:
in which they are located. For
county to derive any benefit from
the State good. roads fund, the
County Court must levy a county
road tax of - cents on the Sl0t
assessed valuation of all property
This tax, which is a direct one,
must be paid by the taxpayers OF
all Incorporated cities in the coun-
". and yet these small cities do not
get one cent of this tux-n0r OF
the State good-roads fund that may
be apportioned TO the county be-
cause of the road tax-for use on
their streets. The property owners
in these small cities must pay for all
street improvements, etc. They get
an indirect benefit, however, be-
cause everything that goes to i'm.
prove the roads and to bnild up the
country around them makes for the
business advantage of the towns.

The Legislature will pass home

people of those cities to elect their
own police, excise and election
commissioners-the several COM

it is predicted that Governor Had.

of favoring home rule than any
man in the State, will veto them
because they would cut the string
he now holds on these commits
