Printing Contract one.sided.

An alleged discovery of the fact
that the board which lets the con
tract for state printing had made
the conditions so restricted that two
firms are favored above others is the
cause of some talk in certain circles
The board is made up of Secretary
of State Roach, State Auditor Gordon
and Attorney General Barker.
The publishing firms favored are
the E. w. Stephens Printing Co. of
Columbia, and the West Publishing
Co. Of st. Paul, MINI. The Stephens
Company has had the cotract since
1885.
On November 27 the board rejected
all bids as unsatisfactory and order
ed the work advertised again.
The bids rejected were those of t.
Missouri Publishing Co. at Mexico
and the Buxton & Skinner Stationery
Co. of st. Louis.
The Mexico firm offered to supp
the reports for $1.15 a volume. Tho
st. Louis concern bid $1.35, while the
Stephens Company's lowest bid was
$1.G5. The latter concern submitted
three separate proposals.
In the new advertisement the bid.
ders are required to submit prices on
back numbers of the reports.
The plates for the back numbers
since 1885 are held by the Stephens
Co. The plates of the reports prior
to that date are held by the West
Publishing Co. Thus any other firm
which might bid for the contract will
be required to make terms with the
concerns mentioned for the privilege
of using or buying the plates.
Examination of previous contracts
and advertisements for contracts re
veals that no such condition has been
inserted heretofore, and the statute
does not require such a provision.

~''S'h 49, ttSb0hSio'
Wal on rebaters has been declared
by Walter K. Chorn, state superin-
tendent of insurance.
He said so many complaints had
accumulated in his office that he was
going to break UP the practice of re-
batting.
He declared it a violation of the
new insurance law of Missouri. One
way he car enforce the law is to re-
fuse to license any companies which
follow the practice.
The superintendent said that the
law is being violated in that many
property owners are getting insur.
ance at a rate less than the state
rate which they should pay for the
class Of property they own. Com
plants naming ~violators, are fairly
general throughout the state, partio-
ularly in the large cities, and that it
amounts in effect to a reduction of
the lawful rates by some companies.

PROBLEMS FOR THANK SEWING
Turkeys Bringing Increased Prices
This Fall.

With the price of turkeys this fall
about five cents per pound higher
than last year the problem of the
Thanksgiving dinn>-x mas developed
to a state where solution is some
what painful. Other commodities
finding a brisk demand at this sea-
son of the year do not represent
much of an increase over 1915 and in
some cases the price remains the
same. Other poultry prices are prac-
tically the same as last fall while the
price of accompanying viands has
not fluctuated to any appreciate ex-
tent.
Turkeys are bringing from So to
80 cents a pound this year where
as last years prices were from 28
to 80 cents a pound. Geese and
ducks at % and 25 cents a pound
show an increase of about 2 cents
per pound over the 1915 prices, while
chickens at % cents per pound re-
main unchanged. Oyster dressing
for the Thanksgiving bird will per-
haps be the order this year to the
same extent as last as the price,
60 cents a quart, is the same as it
was last fall. Cranberry sauce will
cost a little more this year than
formerly as sugar has gone up APP
probably and the berries are now
10 cents a quart, straight, whereas
the last fall price was two quarts for
25 cents. Mince pie, however, will
perhaps be more in demand than
pumpkin pie this year as mince
meat is bringing the same price as
heretofore, 1914 cents the pound,
while the price of pumpkins has
doubled in going from a last years
price of 2 cents a pound to cents
per pound this year; eggs worth
from 55 to 60 cents a dozen and
butter and milk prices also showing
tendencies of increasing.
The Thanksgiving dinner can not
be overlooked but one result of the
increase in the price of turkeys may
be a seasonable stimulus of bust
ness at restaurants and hotel dining
rooms, should the head of the fam
lily estimate it cheaper to dine out
than to prepare a dinner at home
