The committee appointed by the
senate two years ago 10 investigate
penitentiary conditions has fled re-
port which recommends: /, 10 take
the penitenti1ry cut OF partisan or spois
polite; Q, TO abolish contract prison
labor at one 8, to provide a separate
place for first offenders excepting for
the more serious crimes; 4, the
purchase Of four farms in different
points in the State where convicts
may work under wholesome. upbuild
ing conditions. Provision for female
prisoners is also recomm ended. A
Lii has been introduced embodying
many OF those recommendations and
going far beyond the program outlined
in the Governors message.

A bill, which will be known as the
Gardner Rural Credits Bill, has be n
introduced in the senate by Senator
Anderson Craig Of Nowaway. 1t was
written by Col. Fred Gardner Of St.
Louis. 1t contains some four thousand
words. There is no superhuour verb
iage in it, so that the following digest
is, necessarily, the merest outline. It
creates the Missouri State Land Bank
at Jefferson City, with a board OF Gov
ernors, consisting Of the governor, the
secretary OF state, the state treasurer,
and the state auditor. The state is to
set aside $l,0OO,00O as the original
capital Of the bank, which will loan
money to farmers on their rromissory
notes or mortgages on farm lands at
four and three -tenths per cent interest.
When 100000 has been loaned the
bank shall have the power to issue de-
benture bonds in that amount. The
bank may Issue bonds to an aggregate
Of $40, 100000 on the original working
capital Of $1,0OO,O0O. The banks
property, including capital, notes,
mortgages and deben,ure bonds, is ex
empt ircm state, county and municipal
taxes Of any and all kinds.

State Capital Pickings.
Facts and Gossip Of the Doings of
the General Assembly Now in
Session at Jefferson City.
BY BART h. HOWARD.

The forty eighth session is now in
its sixth week. 1t has passed the
meridian. A veritable weller Of things
has been started. Little has been
done. The outlook is that little will
be done. For example: In the House
Thursday morning three bills, untavor-
ably reported from committees, came
up for engrossment. They were Or
dered engrossed. Already eight hun
dred bills had been introduced in the
House. With such volume OF meas
ures it is obvious that committee dis
position Of them must be accepted as
final, else the calendar will became
hopelessly clogged. The house, how
ever, has overridden committee YER
diets. II it continues in this course
it will wind up in a jam.

Instead OF setting aside out OF the
state treasury sl,OO0,OOO for the orig
inal working capital Of the Missouri
State Land bank, as the Gardner bill
proposes, the Phelps plan will have
Immediately available the sum Of
$890,000--the surplus accumulated
out ol the taxes levied 10 pay the in
teiest on the states certificates Of in
d btedness. In that respect the
Phelps plan seems to have the advan-
tage. CoDceivably, too, in the sue
cessiul operation Of the business, the
certificates Of Indebtedness would
eventually be retired, with a conse'
quent reduction OF taxes.

Senator Phelps Of Jasper has intro
duced an amendment to the consttu-
ton and two bills, the comprehensive
effect Of which will be to convert the
S4,000.000 state certificates Of indebt-
edness, on which tax payers now pay
interest, into first mortgage real estate
bonds secured by Missouri farm lands.
Under those measures, when the GER
tiicates Of indebtedness have finally all
been converted into bonds, there will
be total public fund, state and county,
in excess Of $4,000, 1000, which must
be loaned on Missouri farm lands.
The leans are for thirty years, at 3 per
cent interest. Citizens may invest
their money in those long-tarm notes,
through the state machinery which
conducts the business, practically with
out cost either TO the citizen or The
state.

county is sponsor for the bill to estab'
lish at Boonville, a Missouri ReiOrmi'
tory which shall be known as such.
Its present name is the Missouri
Training School for boys. 1t proposes
TO send to the Reiormatory such first
ofenners under thirty years Of sage,
as, in the discretion OF the court,
should not go to the penitentiary.
The idea is that the Reformatory
shall be school OF citizenship where
pupils shall be graded according TO
their honor. And the hope is to
graduate those boys and young men
into useful lives. As it is now, those
first offenders are sent to the peniten
,iary, herded in with loathsome and
depraved criminals, condemned 10 un-
speakable conditions and at last come
out ol that city Of dreadful night"
not merely branded as convicts, but
tainted in fibre, scared OF soul, the
stigmata OF hell burned into their
being.

The drys were expected to get at
it the past week and start some OF
their bills on the way to enactment,
but they didn't. It-is rmmored that
some Of the drys in both House and
Senate are not IN sympathy with some
OF the extreme measures proposed by
their colleagues and will insurge"
when the insurging seems good.
Other explanations have been offered
as to why some Of the leaders OF the
dry organization are not eager for their
legislative allies to press the bills for
passage. Rumors and explanations
aside, the fact is the drys did not
start any ything." But there are still
some five weeks ahead in which the
brewers may perform the feverish feat
OF shivering and perspiring, At a
guess we should venture that the ses-
sion will adjourn with the privilege in
tact Of gulping How" across the
foam topped tumbler, or Of pledging a
toast in that wine Of Buig-nGy TO
which many a scoundrel has written a
pretty song.

Also Demands That
Guarantee Be Given
That There Be No
More Such Practices
Strong Note Sent BY American Government Today-In
tmation Is Given That United States Is Prepared
to Go Any Length to Garry Out Demands

Washington, May 12.-The United States gov
ernment in note to Germany today, formally de-
mands of the imperial government strict account
ing for the loss of American lives in the sinking of
the Lusitania and violations of American rights in
the war zone. It also asks guarantees that there
will be repetition of any such events practices.
With a plain intmation in it that the United
States is prepared to meet any eventualty arising
from noncompliance, the communication, phrased
in unmistakable and emphatic language, is pre-
pared to be cabled to Berlin by nightfall
.-. Written by the president and approved unani-
mously by the cabinet the note is being carefully
examined by Counselor Lansing and law officers of
the government at the state department, to make
sure the phraseology has covered every point in
volved
The White House officially announced the fact
that the president had finally determined on this
course of action, in the following statement:
''Ehe course of the president has been deter
mined. 1t will be announced as 1T is proper
to publish the note now in the course of prepara-
tom .t... ....
This is taken to mean that the American gov
ernment is observing the usual diplomatic ameni-
ties to await the receipt of the communication
Berlin before making it public
While high officials are retcent to discuss it's
contents, it is agreed the voiced the intense
feeling of the United States over the occurrences
in the war zone, and wanted an explanation of them
as well guarantee they will not be repeated.
The communication lays stress on the inhu-
manity of attacks, without warning, on merchant
vessels. It reviews in general way every case in
the war zone in which the rights of American citi-
havesbeen transgressed.
Attention is called to the fact that while ad-
vertisements appeared in newspapers, that the
United States government had never officially been
informed of it, but irrespective of that the position
is taken that serving notice to do an unlawful act
neither justifes it nor makes it lawful.
