tion OF the campaign for a good work
mems compensation law for Missouri.
This is the only one of the progress
sive states which lacks this kind Of

maintain that it is time for Missouri

The organization of the general ex-
ecutive committee will be completed
probably this week, when details and

GRATED. Though the state assembly
will not meet until January, the prop
osition will be submitted meanwhile
to the people of the state in clear
and frank manner, and bill will be
introduced as soon as the legislature
opens.
All interests are cooperating har-
moniously, and it seems certain the
cause will make good headway. The
insurance agencies have appointed
representatives in the committee,
but they will act almost exclusively
in an advisory manner.

The Gardner Land Bank Commit
tee announces that it has on hand
42,S99 signatures, and that It's sign

OF the ia counties.
How this number of signatures
compares with those which were filed
under the referendum act to repeal
the St Louis home rule law and the
excise act, which was submitted to
the voters in 1914, is shown by the
fact that the ST. Louis measure had
3b,777 signatures, and the excise act
35,967. When woman's suffrage was
submitted It had only 35,961.
The Gardner land bank advocates
are highly elated over the showing.

is estimated that $4,000 names will
be obtained before the time for fling
