SECOND CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.
Proposed by Initiative Petition

Proposed by Initiative Petition.
To empower the Legislature of
Missouri to create, by special law, a
State Land Bank with power to loan
money secured by deed of trust on
agricultural lands and to issue bonds,
and authorizing the appropriation Of
One Million Dollars $1,0O0,0O0) out
of the State Treasury for that pur-
pose, and to exempt the capital and
bonds of said bank from taxation,
and validating any legislation hereto
fore enacted for such purposes.

Proposed Amendments to the
Constitution Of Missouri
FIRST CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.

Joint and concurrent resolution sub
hitting to the qualified voters Of the
State of Missouri, an amendment to
the Constitution thereof, concerning
pensions to the deserving blind.
Be it resolved by the Senate, the
House of Representatives, concurring
therein:
That at the general election to be
held on Tuesday following the first
Monday in November, 1916, there shall
be submitted to the qualified voters
of Missouri, for adoption or rejection,
the following constitutional amend E
ment, to-wit:
That section AZ of article Nv Of the
Constitution be amended by adding
thereto the following words: "Pro-
vided further, that nothing in this
Constitution contained shall be con-
strued as prohibiting the general as
sembly from granting, or authorizing
the granting of, pensions to the de-
serving blind, as may be provided and
regulated by law"
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-10-27
Prohibition Paragraphs

A vote for statewide prohibition
is a vote to repeal the local option
law.
1t costs $5,981, 134O0 per year to
run the State government, and more
than half the money comes from the
liquor industry.
When you vote to repeal the local
option law of this State, you vote to
destroy the American principle of
self-government.
Wage-earners actually engaged in
the liquor industry in this State re-
ceive in wages approximately ten
million dollars per year. Who will
pay these wages when the State is
voted dry?
J. Frank Hanley, Prohibition can
didate for President, predicts that
Missouri will go "wet" this year. No
body is making any bets to the con-
trary.
AS matters now stand, the big cities
are contributing the bulk of the State
school and road funds. Statewide
prohibition will shift this burden to
the Missouri farm.
~
There are 10000 citizens of Mis-
souri, who are directly or indirectly
dependent upon the liquor business
for their livelihood. In what way can
it help you to vote these people out
of job?

When You Take Cold.

With the average man a cold is a
serious matter and should not be
trifled with, as some of the most dan
gerous diseases start with common
cold. Take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and get rid of your cold as
quickly as possible. You are not ex-
perimenting when you use this rem
edy, as it has been in use for many
years and has an established reputa-
ton. 1t contains no opium or other
narcotic. Obtainable everywhere.

Where Your Money Comes
From
From

The "dry" counties of Missouri are
'beiAg asked to vote the liquor indus
try out of. the big cities, an industry
with which the big cities are entirely
satisfied; and in doing this they are
asked to vote an extra tax on them
selves which the cities are now paying,
but which can be no longer paid when
the liquor industry is abolished. Thus,
the "dry" counties are asked to give
the cities something that the cities
don't want, in order to take over to
themselves a burden which the "dry'
counties don't want.
Ninety-six counties are now draw
ing more money from the State thar
they pay in. These counties do not
pay a cent of the cost of the State
government. When you cripple the
State treasury by destroying its in
come from the liquor business, you
destroy the ability of the State to pay
the money it is now paying to these
ninety-six counties.

THIRD CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT,

Proposed by Initiative Petition.
Prohibiting after July first, 1917
the manufacture of, the introduction
into. and the giving, exchanging, bar
tering, selling or disposiRg of intox-
icating liquors in the State of Mis-
souri,, except wine for sacramento
purposes, prescribing penalty for
the violation thereof and repeating all
parts of the Constitution, Statutes

governmental support upon real es-
tate, so would statewide prohibition
operate likewise in a majority of the
counties. There is no other place to
go for the State revenues which state
wide prohibition would take away.
+ IS
Mr.. Dry Voter: If the big cities
had the power to vote your county
wet" you would not think it right or
fair for them to do so, would you?
Do you, then, think it right or fair
for the "dry" counties to use their
power to vote the big cities "dry ?"
Of course not. You would do unto
others as you would have others do
unto you. The Golden Rule is always
safe guide. 1t works both ways.
= 4
No "dry" county in this State has
ever yet done without the liquor rev.
enues. The bulk of the road and
school fnuds paid by the State of
Missouri to the counties comes from
this source. In every instance the
sum amounts to more than the coun-
ty ever received from dram-shops I'M
der the license system before the
county was voted "dry." You may
learn at your county court house ex-
actly how much your county is re-
ceiving today from the Statet for road
and school purposes. This is the
amount you will have to raise by di-
rect taxation in case statewide pro-
hibition is adopted. There can be no
more State aid to counties if the
State goes "dry"-without an increase
of about fifty per cent in State taxes.
In the last two-year period, the
State school fund apportioned to the
various counties of this State, out of
the State treasury, amounted to sub
stantially four millions of dollars.
During the same period the State
treasury itself received substantially
four million dollars from the liquor in
dustry of this State IN license and in
spection fees, not counting the regu-
lar taxes. Query: If you strike down
the liquor industry of this State, what
will become of the State school fund
And this question suggests another:
If you don't get this extra four mil
lion dollars by increasing the tax on
real estate, where are you going to
get it? And still another question:
When it comes to increasing the tax
on real estate, how can you avoid
placing the heavy end of the burden
on the farm, in view of the fact that
the present assessments on real es-
tate are already much higher in the
cities than the rural districts? (adv)
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-10-27

amended for any purpose that can be
as well or better accomplished by leg
islative enactment; and our State
Legislature can give us statewide pro-
hibition by statute when Missouri
wants it.
If anybody knows where the State
of Missouri can pick up an extra three
or four million dollars year outside
Of the present source of revenue, he
should slip the word to Colonel Gard
ner and Judge Lamm. Both are run
ming for Governor, and one of them
may need this information next win
ter.
The capital involved in the liquor in
dustry in Missouri amounts to $780,
000,000.00. Prohibition would drive
at least this much capital from the
State. This much we know. Nilsson
rians are not in the habit of giving up
a dead sure thing for a rank uncer-
tainty.
