painted by b. +. Bush, president of

to Gov Major for higher rates and
more liberal treatment fer the roads
in Missouri
As a dramatic climax to an address
in which he reviewed the financial
conditions of the roads and the regu-
latory laws which. he declared, are
further burdening them, he said: "lf
the government wants to take over
the roads and operate them it is per-
fectly satisfactory to us" The gov
ernor listened quietly, but made no
promises.
The governor can do nothing more
| than recommend to the legislature
that the roads be permitted to charge
higher passenger and freight rates,
or to veto railroad legislation which
might be passed.
Two departments of government
are vested with control Of the rail
road situauon-the legislature and
the public service commission.
The latter, the supreme court OF
Missossri has held, has full power tc
permit the railroads to increase theil
rates IL 1t finds that they are losing
money on the present statutory maxi
mum rates.

Amendments in Danger.

rough" shedding ahead for all the
proposed constitutional amendments,
not only those submitted by the gen

through the initiative, and likewise
for all the propositions to be voted
upon by the people through the refer
endum.
There are several most melitooiou
measures in the list of Is esyrStI by
the amendment ballot, but safe bet
at thiS time appears to be that not
one will carry. Even such an amend
ment as that carrying provision for a
pension for the blind, appealing di-
rectly to the sympathies of every hui
man being, is said to be in serious
danger on the theory that got Old
Dog Tray into trouble.
There is such multiplicity of prop

so many conflicting interests are in

political prophet can figure out ex
actly what is going to happen.
