Adult. GEN. o'MEARA ALSO ASKS
THAT THEY NOT BE CALLED
ON IN FUTURE.
GUARDS UNPAID FOR LABOR
Militia Head Suggests County, state
and Federal Action TO Strengthen
bikes, Instead Of Calling Sol
diers for Nonmilltary Work.

jefferson City-Adit. Gen. John b.
OMeara filed with Gov. Major a re-
port Of the service Of the National
Guard OF Missouri in protecting the
lcvees in southeast Missouri during
the overflow in March and April.
The companies of the Sixth inf1n.
try were on this detail from March 20
to April 10. 1t cost the state S9,1l5.35
TO do the work.
There being no available fund to
pay the bills, this amount will have
to be carried until the next session Of
the legislature makes a deficiency ap-
preparation to meet 1t.
Gen. OMeara says this was the
greatest flood in this section; the riv-
sr was higher and the territory re-
quiring protection was much greater
than ever before.
Not only did the troops guard the
threatened levees to prevent their
being cut" says the report, but the
men worked heroically in sacing life
and property and in relieving the dis
tress of the afflicted people
Gen U'Meara compliments .Ae tire
less efforts OF Col. Arthur l.. Oliver,
commander of the Sixth regiment,
his officers and men.
He also commends the effective and
intelligent work of Maj A. V. Adams
Of the quartermasters' corps of the
n. G. NJ, in caring for troops and
refugees.
Gen. O'Meara concludes his report
with the following suggestion:
81 wish to respectfully suggest that
something should be done, either by
the federal government or the coun-
ties interested, to strengthen these
levees, and thus make unnecessary
the calling out of the National guard
each year to protect life and prop
erty.
While our troops respond prompt
" and work faithfully without com
plant in the performance of nonmili-
tary duties, this work is hardship
on them which they ought not to be
called upon to endure year after year
IL it can be avoided"

NATIONAL NOTE CIRCULATION
TO REMAIN uNDlsTuRBED
IN. WILSON BILL.
SEVEN MEN ARE TO CONTROL
Rediscounting Of Commercial Paper
and Elasticity Satesuarded--No
Proposal Made to Retire
$7oo,ooo,ooo Of Bonds.

Washington, d. C.-The admin
istrative currency bill was made pub
lie by Representative Glass, chairman
of the house committee on banking
and currency.
1t will be introduced in the house
and senate after President Wilson has
delivered in person his address 20
Congress Monday.
An outline of the measure describes
Il as IA basis for Legislative action
states that it will be gone over In
detail for alterations, and sets out
that it's purpose is to accomplish three
principal objects:
provision of a means for redis'
counting commercial paper of speci'
fed types.
"A basis for elastic notes properly
safeguarded.
Machinery for doing foreign bank
ing business"
The measures essentials remain as
they have been outlined from time TO
time since the president began a study
of the subject with house and senate
leaders.
1t provides twelve or more federal
reserve banks, which will rediscourt
paper, and deal in government securi-
ties, exchange and conduct govern
ment fiscal operations.
National banks and such state
banks and trust companies as con-
/ form to standards would be stock
/ holders OF the reserve banks. The
/ government would hold no stock.
The government would control the
/ federal reserve hanks entirely
through a federal reserve board Of
seven members, in which the banks
would have no representation.
The board would be composed OF
the secretary of the treasury, score
tary of agriculture. the comptroller OF
the currency as members ex-officio
Four others members would be chosen
by the president and confirmed by
the senate
The national bank note circulation
would remain undisturbed and no pro
posal is made in the bill for retiring
approximately sT00,O00,0o0 per CEN
bonds upon which that note issue nov
rests.
An amendment or separate bill tc
refund those bonds into per cen
bonds may be introduced later.

Railroad Upheld in Tax Levy Suit

Jefferson C1ty.-That the county
courts of Missouri cannot fix their tax
levy upon railroad property before the
state board OF equalization makes the
assessment of public service CORPORA
tons, was the oponion Of division No
2 of the supreme court in decision
by Judge John c. Brown.
The opinion was written in the case
of l.. E. Blades, county collector of
Montgomery county, against the Wa
lash railroad to compel the payment
of taxes based upon levy of so cents
on the 500 valuation made in 1910.
The road declined to pay on the
ground that the taxable valuation OF
the county exceeded S6,000,000 and
cents could be levied and collected
The road rendered 80 per cent of the
taxes levied and resisted payment OF
| the remainder.
When the county court of Montgom
cry county fixed its levy the taxable
valuation of the county was under SC,
! 100000. When the state board Of
equalization made its assessment the
figures were increased so that the tax
able valuation became more than Sc,
100000.
Because of this the supreme cour
held that the county could not legally
collect taxes upon a 50-cent levy. Blu
only upon 40 cents on the 500 valua
| ton.

Burlington & Quincy was ruled tn,
same as in the Wabash case, this be
