shall not be done and the Con-
stitution being amended today
declares that it may be done, will
Judge Lamm undertake to say
that the supreme power of the
people cannot so provide? Is
Judge Lamm familiar with Ar
ticle 2, Sec. 2, of the Costitution,
which reads as follows:
"Section 2. That the people OF
this State have the inherent, sole
and exclusive right to regulate
the internal government and
police thereof, and to altar and
abolish their Constitution"
Judge Lamm spends much
time endeavoring to demonstrate
that the Gardner Land Bank Bill
is in conflict with Article II,
Section &c of the existing State
Constitution. Even if the Judge
were right in his construction
of the present Constitution, his
contention would be utterly and
absolutely immaterial because
the amendment to the Constitu-
ton now submitted to the peo-
pie and which will be adopted,
grants every power to the Legis-
lature. However, any good law
yer reading the case of Attor-
ney-G General VS.. Lincoln Trust
Co., 144 Mo. 562, will see at a
glance that the present Consti-
tutional provision only applies
to banks of issue. A Land Bank
is not a Bank of issue but a bank
-
that merely loans money, hence
the Judges long-winded argu-
ment gets him nowhere.
The fact is that it as plain as
MONDAY that the Judge is sim
ply seeking to conceal and justi-
fly his opposition to any kind of
bill which will give farmers
cheap money by getting behind
a mass of legal technicalities
which will bear no examination.
The whole controversy may be
summarized in a sentence:
Gardner is for a land bank /;
Lamm is against a land bank.

Early Pasture for Cows.

Are you prepared for early
spring pasture? Early spring
almost invariably finds us short
of feed. How are you planning
for that shortage. Early pas
ture will save expensive feed
bills and help keep up the milk
yield. A good fall and early
spring pasture is rye or a mix
ture of rye and crimson clover.
Early sown rye gives consider
able feed in the fall but should
not be grazed too closely or the
plants may be winter killed.
The clover crop makes about
half its growth during the last
80 days of its grazing period,
that is under normal conditions,
so that 1t can be heavily grazed
during that time. This should
allow the permanent pasture to
get a good start before turning
on it and it will be stronger and
provide more pasture than if
grazed early.
Late fall and early spring pas
ture means cheaper production
and larger yields. Plan on SOW
ing some this fall. G. Wat

Frederick D. Gardner refusing
to meet Judge Lamm in debate.
The ability to debate is not a
sign of competency in a govern

fore that a debate be arranged

A AGAINST AID
TO THE FARMERS

AOn w
Bank Bill.
He's "agin" the bill, right or
wrong.
But Judge Lamm, eminent
iurist should be fair, at least
fair to the farmers whose in
terests the bill seeks to serve.
Candidate Lamm takes "legaI'
position that Jurist Lamm would
not dare to take.
He asserts that when the pro-
posed constitutional amend
ment, authorizing the creation
of the bank, is adopted, the law
passed by the last legislature
cannot in any way be changed
without submitting the change
to a vote of the people. This is
c~ontradicted by the proposed
amendment itself. Section 1. of
the amendment reads:
"Section 1. The General AS
sembly is hereby empowered to
enact a special law to create a
corporation to be known as the
Missouri State Lark Bank, with
power to make loans on notes
secured by deeds of trust or
mortgages upon agricultural
lands, and to issue debenture
bonds against the same with all
suitable and Incidental powers.
And to enact other special laws
at the same session or at other
sessions of the General Assem-
bly, to amend and improve the
said act, or to supply omissions
to correct errors or defects
therein"
When this amendment is adj
opted by the people it will be-
come a part of the Constitution
of the State.
Then the Constitution will
specifically authorize the legis-
lature to amend and improve
the bill, to supply omissions and
correct errors or defects there
in.
Judge Lamm evidently has
not read the amendment when
he made this objection to the
bill. 1t does not require the
learning of a Supreme Judge OF
a lawyer to interpret this
amendment. A child can under
stand it.
Judge Lamm's opinions when
he was on the Supreme bench
were not always regarded as
sound by his colleagues. One
instance is sufficient to impress
this fact. Attention is called
to the case of the State ex re.
Scott VS.. Dirckx, which will BIZ

There are at least ninety-six
Missouri counties who will not
listen to the brainless mendacity
of Republican spell-binders who
charge extravaganza in the
Democratic State government
because each of these ninety-six
counties receives more money
from the State Treasury than it
pays into the State Treasury.
This means then in ninety-six
counties the State government
does not cost the taxpayers a
single penny, and is a source of
profit besides.

that new and up to date ones be en-
acted and enforced. Especially would
we recommend a building code which
will conform to the underwriters code,

We believe it advisable to provide
for building inspector who can also
take care of electrical work.
\ The installation of this additional APP

As a matter of economy we would
suggest that you secure the services OF
mechanic who can be furnished by
the manufacturers of the pumps. BY
so doing you will be in a position to
find out all the weak points and have
the pumps put in as good condition
as possible. ] am inclined to believe
you will discover after this mechanic
reaches your city that it will be neces-
sary to install new pump, owing to
the fact that it is very probable the
old ones can never be brought up to
the proper efficiency. In case it is
decided to purchase a new pump, we
would recommend that a much larger
cne than the old pumps be provided,
probably one that would pump four
million gallons per diem would be
more satisfactory than small one.
You will undoubtedly realize that un-
less the capacity OF the pumps is in

excess of the duty required, the cost
of fuel will be greater, as will also
be the wear and tear on the pump
if it is run at its maximum capacity
This matter is so urgent that | feel
certain you will take immediate steps
TO remedy the defects.
In going over the fire department
find that while 1t meets with our re-
quirements for the present classifica-
tion, it would be advisable to consider
the purchase of more apparatus for
the following reasons: Chiekasha COW
ers large territory and as conse-
quence there are districts which are
-inadequately protected at the present
time. The automobile apparatus has
been found to be very effective in
covering large areas and consequent
ly when such apparatus is employed
it is not necessary to have so many
pieces as il is when they are horse
drawn.
You have in your city some large
buildings and in the event of a good
sized fire, high pressure is very i'm.
portant At the present time your
pumps being in poor condition, II
would not be advisable to use them at
the maximum speed in case heavier
: pressure is desired Even though you
had larger and efficient pumps, you
sill have the contingency of broken
mains in case excessive pressure is
forced through them. For this reason
we would recommend that you install
combination pumping engine, cheml-
cal and hose automobile, the capacity
of the pumps to be not less than 90o
gallons per minute. y o doubt this ap-
paratus will pay for itself year after
year in the saving OF homes, to say
nothing of other property. Your lad
der truck should undoubtedly be re-
placed by city service truck, but foI
the present it might be possible for
you to place thereon additional ladders
which will enable your firemen to
reach the tops OF your highest build
ings.
We believe in addition to the ex
tension ladders that the pompier va
riety should be installed as well. Each
piece of apparatus should be manned
with four men.
We would recommend that in the
-congested district you install in place
of the two way. three way hydrants,
which have one outlet for use in cor
nection with a steamer or pumping
engine. The old two way hydrants
can be taken out and installed in the
outlying districts and this change Will
not mean large expenditure OF
money

TOOK GOVERNOR FOR BUTLER
Chief Executive Of Massachusetts
Smiled BIandIy and Got Archie
Roosevelt a Napkin.

Here's a good one that ex-Gover-
nor Walsh of Massachusetts told on
himself at dinner given to some of
his friends in Washington recently,
the Boston Post states.
Some months ago, while he was
governor, Mr.. Walsh was guest at a
reception given by Mrs. Mabel Hunt
Slater in Boston.
The governor arrived and was not
introduced to all of the guests be-
cause of their large number. Some
time in the early hours of the morn
ing Archie Roosevelt approached him
and said:
"John, will you please get me
napkin?"
Certainly" Governor Walsh said,
keeping a grave face, Gin a minute,
SIR"
The governor promptly found the
napkin for young Roosevelt and
;milingly handed it to him. Some
thing in the governors smile made
Roosevelt suspicious. A well-trained
outler does not smile.
"Aren't you the butler?" he asked
loubtfully.
"No, my name is Walsh; / am
governor of Massachusetts," was the
reply.
Roosevelt apologized profusely.
"Oh, that's all right" Walsh said.
Il can understand your mistake. 1
frequently have noticed that the
butler is the best-looking man in the
room at Back Bay party"
