Covering Democratic Pledges

The Republics Jefferson City
correspondence OF the 10Th inst says
II the administration measures
now introduced are passed by the
Legislature, practically every Demo.
cratic party pledge will have been
carried out. The administration
roads and pardon board measures
introduced yesterday complete the
list. The introduction OF all such
bills so early in the session is con-
sidered remarkable.
There is little or no opposition to
any Of the proposed administration
measures, and such as exists relates
to minor provisions which will not
seriously hamper their early pass
age.
In addition 10 the administration
bills having as their object the re-
demption Of platform pledges, mum.
erous measures representing the in.
dividual ideas OF members of both
branches have been presented.
Changes Of minor character I'M
doubleday will be made in the many
bills after comparisons are made
with bills on kindred subjects. More
than one bill has been presented on
nearly every subject and the accept
ancr or rejection Of specific pruvi
stems will constitute "A large part Of
the committee work. But the gem
eral IDEAS OF the administration will
be preserved and carried out because
of the thorough accord with Gov
Majors ideas.
Those who predicted the size of
the Democratic majority would
cause disruption within the ranks
are disappointed. Although the ses.
sion is little more than two weeks
old, everything which might be cal
culated to cause great dissension has
been given an opportunity to present
itself.
Every indication is that the work
will continue, unless hampered in
this regard, and that whatever diff
ferences do arise will be thrashed
out and settled with the view of en-
acting the most sound legislation.
Not only is the Democratic major
ity working in perfect unison of pur-
pose on all legislation of vital i'm.
portance, but, as a general rule, the
Republicans seem TO be in sympathy
with them.
This has expedited the work of the
Legislature and enabled it to con-
centrate its efforts.
The scope of legislation proposed
is very broad The bills already up
for consideration inclnde those pro.
yidipg for Public Service Commits
sion, income tax, direct election of
senators and preferential president
lal primary, simpli'ication OF Judi
rial procedure, working mems COM
pensation, taxation revision, home
rule and commission form of gov
eminent for cities.
The administration Public Service
Commission bill, authorizing The ap.
pointment of commission to regu-
late public-service corporations, is
extremely Important.
To increase efficiency of public |
schools and matters OF education,
and charitable insti- |
buttons have been given special con-
'ideration. Other bills promoting |
immigration, develop
nent of natural resources and bet.
.erment of social conditions are be-
ng studied by the various commit
ees with a view of obtaining the
pest possible results.

~HE States new Attorney Gen.
eral, John T Barker. has
declared tina, the law re-
curing the Governor to appoint
members OF the election boards Of
- Louis and Kansas City IN a
certain way is unconstitutional.
The law provides for the appoint.
ment Of two members from the
same political party to which the
Governor belongs, to be taken
from II list Of six eligible men rec
ommeudcd by the State Committee
Of that party, and the other two
from the leading opposition party,
also 10 be selected from six men
recommended by the State Com.
Inlttee Of that party. Attorney
General Barker declares that this
requirement Of The luw is uucOn.
stitutioual IN two points: First,
the clause which says the other
TWO members must come from the
leading party opposing the one the
Governor Is a member Of, Is in
violation Of both the State and Fed
eral constitutions, because it dis
eliminates against all smaller par.
ties, and second, the clause which
requires the Governor to make his
selection from six names presented
TO him by two party committees II
10 violation Of the State COnstitu.
ton, because II restricts the ap-
pointing power OF the Governor Of.
ter comforting that responsibility
on him. Mr. Barker declares that
il a law OF that character is al
lowed to 90 unchalleged, the next
law passed might invest the ap.
pointing power IN the Governor
aud limit his selection to one man
named by committee or other
party organization, which would
practically anuul the appointing
power Of the Governor.
This question has been precipi.
tated by the contention of the Re
publican aud Progressive parties,
each claiming to be the leading
party in opposition to that to which
the Governor belongs, and there.
fore entitled to representation on
the boards Of election of the two
cities named. The reasoning and
Interpretation of the law which
MIR. Barker has placed on the law
will strike the man not versed in
the intricasies of the law as sound
aud sane. The matter of making
the boards of election commission
ers bipartisan by the appointment
Of two of their members from op.
posite political parties is not ques.
tionsd-tbat is conceded; but that
there should be no discrimination
against party because it is not
the next in political strength to
the one that happens to have the
power. The question |
has never been raised before in I
this State, as there has never been
any contention for appointment on
these boards by anyoiher than the
Democratic and Republican parties

He act Of Congress fixing
~ tolls for vessels passing
through the Panama Canal
has involved us in a controversy
with England. Among the fea-
lures Of that act !, one granting
American cuastwI,e vessels free
passage through the canal. Eng.
land claims that this Is di,rriw-
nation that conflicts with certain
treaty rights under which the canal
Is being constructed. This has
given rise 10 considerable dlplO.
matte controversy between the
United States aud England. and
much talk Of arbitration has been
INDUCED IN with some prospect of
strained relations between the two
countries, aud hence may probably
involve us in trouble with other
European countries. The cOutru
ton OF the United States govern
ment is that this favor granted
American cOastwise vessels j. not
a dissemination, as the coa-twisp
trade does not come into cOmpctl-
ton with the shipping interests Of
other countries.
We DO not know or understand
Just how our government l. nedgcd
about with treaty obligations ~
this canal matter, but Secretary
Knox takes the ground that thl,
governments position violates no
treaty rights IN granting free canal
passage TO the c0nstwlse trade, and
to a casual citizen it would look
like We have the right. or ought
to have, to favor not only our
cOastwIse ships but all American
registered ships, if it were a wise
policy, with free passage through
Il canal constructed and maintained
solely at this governments expense.
But aside from any complica ..
tons, diplomatic or otherwise, in.
to which we might be drawn with
other nations by this free toll bust.
ness TO coastwise vessels, is the pol.
icy not an unwlse one. in fact the
very thing against which the Dem
Ocratic party has been contendug
for years-special privilege and
subsidy The canal has cost our
people several hundred millions of
dollars. and by the time it is fin.
Ished will have cost in cOnstruc-
ton 8nd canal defenses in the
of 5000 600, 900.
The annual maintenance thereafter
will amount to several hundred
and this must be derived
from tolls or the people must be
taxed to meet it. The American
coastwise trade is carried on by a
rich aud powerful shipping inter
est, and the canal will be Of AS
great advantage to it as it will be
to other shipping interests, SO the
of free passage through
the canal to its ships is nothing
more nor less than a downsight
subsidy. 1t should be charged the
SAME tolls as other shipping inter-
ests and bear its share of the ex.
pense of constructing and main.
the canal.

United States and England over
