persons paying for such admissions
to theaters, etc. To enable the pub
lie to do this without ANNOYANCE,
the management of the Coliseum
will use bingles. There will be two
kinds. For twenty-five cent show
there will be a three cent bingle and
for a fifty cent show the bingles
will have a face value of five cents.
Until other arrangements can be
made, all bingles are to be pur-
chased at the box office window
and must be turned in to the cashier
before an admission ticket will be
issued. Any amount of bingles
may be purchased at any one time.
This plan was adopted by the man
agement solely for the reason that
it is simple way out of the difficult
ty. The bingles no doubt will be
found little inconvenient by pat
rons Of the theater for a time, but
there appeared to be no other solu-
ton. 1t is understood that Dick
Thorne will adopt the same plan in
the near future, but for the present
he will use tickets
1t is hoped that everyone will re-
alize that the tax is for a worthy
cause. Paying war tax is doing
your bit to help your country
finance this great struggle and
hasten the return of peace.
The new tax becomes effective
on November first.

Mgr. Coliseum

.@ CHARGE OF ROADHOUsE

Jack Wallace, whose long ex-

SEVEN REASONS GIVEN
FOR NEW CONSTITUTION
Dean Walter Williams of the

sents Them to Committee.
Advocating a constitution
which will provide for the state
of Missouri in its present and fu-
ture status and suggesting that
such a constitution be drawn by
a convention as is the text of
the DUNN constitutional bill
now in the hands of the House
Committee, Dean Walter
Williams of the School of Jour
nalism Of the University of
Missouri gave the following sew
en- reasons:
The length Of the present con-
stitution, which contains more
than 10000 words while the
Constitution of the United
States contains less than 1000.
Age of the present Constitu-
ton, which was adopted in 1875,
when conditions in every form
of business were different from
those of today.
Patchwork Of present Consti-
tuition, 77 amendments have
been submitted, since it's adj
option and 54 rejected, and i'm
possibility of patching it sue
~cessfully any more.
Administration of justice inn
possible in the best sense, the
delays in the Supreme Court
being due to the Constitution,
and being a denial of justice to
the average man.
The restrictions on revenue
and taxation in the present con-
stitution encourage perjury and
penalize honesty, making impos-
sible a separation of State anC
local taxes, while a new consti.
ton would not mean an increase
in taxes, but an equitable distri.

County Charges Fare Well.

County Charges Fare Well.
The recent cold wave has rails
ed the question, what will the
poor people do?" P. b. Smith
was in town last Saturday, and
being superintendent of the
county poor farm east of town,
the question was passed to
him. "The inhabitants of the
county farm" says Mr.. Smith,
"fare far better than thousands
of others that are dependent
upon their own efforts" The
county buildings are provided
with steam heat throughout and
there are no cold spots. The
tables are provided with most
paatable food, the rooms are
provided with electric lights, and
several warm rooms are provid-
ed with bath-tubs. In fact,
every effort has been made to
provide for those who cannot
provide for themselves.
The county home is now car
ing for twenty-eight inmates,
twenty men and eight women.
In addition to this household is
several employees that are on
salary who look after the welfare
Of the buildings and farm. Eight
COWS and about 100 chickens
contribute to the support of the

contractor, and so far as the in
mates are concerned they have
