News From Jeff.

One of the real meritorous laws
likely to pass is that of creating
a tuberculosis camp at Mt.
Vernon.
An amendment eliminating the
single tax proposition at cleo
tions will be submitted to the
voters at the next election. If
adopted by the voters the mat
ter cannot be submitted in any
form.
The bill prohibiting newspapers
from printing false advertise
ments was passed by the House.
The punishment fixed is a fine
from $25 to $500 or by imprison-
ment in jail not more than 80
days.
The citizenship of Lafayette
County / know will join me in
commenting Hon. N. M. Houx on
the unsurpassed and most ac-
ceptable record he has made for
himself in watching the interests
not only Of the people of Lafay-
cite County, but also the people
of the entire state during his six
years as member of the Legisla-
ture. For three terms, although
he tried to beg off, the democ-
racy of Lafayette County has
forced this honor upon him and
each time elected him without
opposition. His record is the
best and without taint, having
at all times had the manhood and
courage to oppose every move
and measure detrimental to the
taxpayers interests. The last
night Of the present session |
was proud of my home people in
publicly presenting Mr.. Houx a
remembrance in token of their
appreciation of his good work
and acceptable services as a rep
resentative Of the people. The
present was a handsome, costly
gold-headed umbrella, beauti-
fully carved, while an admiring
friend sent a huge bundle of Mis-
souri, meerschaums and "old hill
side" John Gordon made the
presentation speech, Mr.. Houx
feelingly responding. AS | have
said before, not only has Repres-
entative Houx to his credit the
enactment of possibly the best
and most important laws on the
statutes, but also the killing of
much vicious and bad legisla-
tion. He is scrupulously honest
and will win other laurels in the
political arena, and, that too, un-
sought on his part. Worth and
deservedness will demand such
recognition.
The house has passed a string
ent bill as to bootlegging in Local
Option territory. The penalty
for first offence is a fine of
$3.50 and subsequent offences a
penitentiary term.
The bill increasing county re-
corders fees was killed so dead it
will never again come before any
Legislature.
This item is for the taxpayers
to lay away for reference in
next years campaign. AT the
beginning of this session the re-
publican representatives started
yelling, "the democratic state of
ficials have wasted and squand-
cred the peoples money" Ac-
cordingly, VIM. R. Wilder, repub-
lican representative from Ste.
Genevieve county, introduced a
resolution demanding the "books
of the state officials be audited"
The democrats called his hand
and proceeded by asking for
an audit of the books as demand
ed by the republicans. A special
constitutional convention shall
committee was named, and ask
ed that $4,000 be appropriated

BREAD AND MEAT LEAGUE.

IVY re think down in our county"
wv said Col Tom Stuart q
Winchester. Ky. who visits

stock on the blue grass pastures of
Wall Street. that we have devised
a scheme by which we will put a crimp
in the high cost Of living proposition
without closing down a single dis
ti'lery in the state or exporting a
single bale OF our. mint crop. What
we propose doing Is to organize the
Bread and Meat League of Clark
county, bread and meat representing
the food supply generally.
You see. we raise in our county
about everything to cat that is good
for a human being and our farmers
and stock raiscrs will get together as
members of the league, each one
pledged to set aside so much f his
{ od supply for the general good
That is to say. So much wheat. so
much corn. so much beef. mutton and
pork, with potatoes, apples. eggs. but
ter. onions, cabbage. turnips and other
vegetables that will keep. will not be
sold except to- our own county people
which vii, u" perfectly fair To- the
farmer and to the consumer.
This may he little higher than
things used To be. but at the same
time 1t Will be far below prices that
prevail now everywhere and Will be a
saving to all classes because all
farmers don't raise the same stuff and
all uf them have to eat. The amount
each one Will have t. deduct from his
crops will be small and the league puts
no restriction upon our producers to
sell to consumers S. unfortunate as
II : to live in our county AZ the pre-
Naiiins marke: rate no matter how
high 1t may go.
THAT is not our business. ours Is

and ! may say that We propose to
keep 1t there. though We have no OBJ
lection To- other counties anywhere

fence. Indeed We expect them to do
So, and II they do not they deserve
AZ the dcprivtt.ons which the high
cost : living imposes.

The opinion prevailed yesterday that
as soon as the amendment to the seq

branches of the Legislature there will
be comparatively easy sailing. 1t is
true that many important measures vet
remain to be considered. but the decid-
ing battles have already been fought.

The House OF Delegates applied itself
assiduously to the calendar at the
morning session, transactinG business
cxpeditiously. The bill approprIating
10000 for conducting an immediate
campaign against the foot -and-m mouth
disease In cattle was an emergency
measure. With the usual parliamentary
procedure, rules were suspended imme-
diately after the message from the Gov
crnor had been presented by his secre-
tary, Alexander Forward. and the bill
was passed without n negative vote.
Delegate Leedy. of Page. thought the
Governor had underestimate tho i'm
mediate need. and offered an amend
ment increasing the appropriation to
$4,000. Judge Martin Williams and
others objected to the amendment, ex-
planning that their opposition was not
20 the proposed bill, but they were con-
WINGED ;hat Governor Stuart, who had
conferred with the State veterina rian
and other officials, was better qualified
to PASS upon the matter than anyone
else. The amendment was accordingly
voted Gown and the bill was passed by
