LEGISLATURES poINGS.
BY Frank Bowman.

1NWf
The f~orty-ninth General AS
sembly has adjourned, and we
feel sure the record made is the
best within the states history.
The deficit that has gradually
increased from year to year was
looked after. The revenue meas
ures enacted, eleven bills, are
really the big work Of the ses-
sion. In this connection Mis-
souri, is truly fortunate in hav-
ing Gov. Gardner at the head of
affairs. He is no politicion, a
business man of ability, and has
given out that he wanted no fur
ther political honors. Hereto
fore the one feature and hin
drance in the matter of raising
revenue, has been that the Office
of governor has been used for
still higher political advance
ment and the States deficit was
allowed to increase year after
year until it had become quite
large. Gardner has met this
and is ready to bear the kicking
that is sure to follow. Increase
taxes always being unpopular or
when you touch a mans pocket
book in this particular, there is
always a kick. The increase will
be small and the states present
indebtedness will be wiped out
and every Missouri will rejoice
over the same. Something had
to be done.
There we're 189 new laws en-
acted-59 senate bills and 1870
house bills. Every bill recon-
mended by the governor was
passed by the senate, but several
we're killed in the house.
Six constitutional amendments
were passed and will be voted on
at the 1918 election. One of
them is statewide prohibition,
two are tax measures, one pro-
poses a tax of 10 cents on the
500 valuation for the construct
ion Of good highways and the
other makes a direct levy of Is
cents on the 500 for the public
schools. The three others are
not of much public interest.
1t is Understood Gov. Gardner
will sign the bill abolishing CAPT
tai punishment. After it is
signed the death penalty will be
abolished and Imprisonment for
life will be the maximum penalty
for offenses which heretofore

were punishable by hanging. The
bill was introduced by Represen-
tative Whitaker of Hickory
county.
While there was much dry
legislation introduced, yet, after
passing the house with little OPP
position, was killed by the SEN
ate.
Some regard the road laws en-
acted as the most important
passed. There are several of
these bills and one is incidentally
related to the other. The pas
age Of the Halves bill made it
necessary to pass four other bills
to carry it's intent effect and
make all the road laws harmon
ize.
The bills for increasing the re-
ceipts of the state revenue fund
will produce about $2,25O,000 a
year, according to estimates.
These moneys will come from
corporations, an inheritance tax,
income tax, a tax on soft drinks,
a tax on wholesale liquor deal
ers, increased dramshop licenses,
etc.
Among the number of meri-
tious measures passed, is a pen
sion for needy mothers and
another is the establishment Of
a home for neglected children
under state control.
Many miscellaneous laws were
passed. Among them, one re-
quiring of registration of all
fire arms sold and also requires
a permit from the circuit court
to purchase such weapons.
The states fiscal year was
changed to harmonic with the
government laws. Beginning
next July the states fiscal year
will commence July 1st,, and APP
plies to every state department.
Woman suffrage was killed.
However, women will be allowed
to hold the office of School Di-
rector in the future if they can
get enough votes to be elected.
The listing of personal proper
ty with the assessor was chang
ed in such a way as to require
the assessment of notes and
similar property in order to give
such debts a standing in the
courts.
The bill of the circuit judges
to grab $500 a year for doing
nothing passed the senate, but
was properly killed in the house,
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1917-03-23

the vote being So against and 10
for. This bill gave the circuit
judges the power to draw the
court Jurors and allowed them
$500 a year. For years juries
have been drawn by the county
courts and has not cost the tax
payers one cent, yet the circuit
Judges (not all of them) tried to
get $500 for doing this.
Convict labor at the peniten-
tiary was abolished and the
state will try its hand at en-
ploying convicts, the receipts go
ing to the state.
A summary of the session
shows that these bills were kill
ed: Calling a Constitutional con-
vention, allowing women to vote
for presidential electors, board of
control for eleemosnary institu-
tions, mortgage-recording tax,
workmen's compensation, trad
ing stamps. These were passed:
Tax commission, corporation
tax, income tax, inheritance tax,
secured debt tax, increase saloon
license, soft-drink tax, tax on
wholesale liquor dealers, Halves
highway commission law; Peni-
tertiary bill, creating commiss-
ion for penal institutions pro-
hibition amendment, to be sub
mitted to voters in 1918; bill to
allow watchers and challengers
in polling places for constitu-
tional amendment elections,
children's code bills, constitu-
tional amendment levying a 10
cent tax for good roads, bill TAX
ing all municipal water plants
from jurisdiction of Public Ser
vice Commission, increase auto
mobile license tax for good
roads purposes, appropriation
measures totaling about $780,
000, 1000, one-third of which goes
to public schools.
The penitentiary was put I'M
der a special board of commiss-
toner's, which does away with the
board of pardons, heretofore in
charge and is a good change, as
it will greatly relieve the gov
ernor, as all applications will be
acted on directly by this new
board. The pardon and parole
system will continue.

FINGER NAIL SKETCHES
OF ARMY LEADERS
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington April 27.-"What has
come to him, he has won by hard work
always"
This is what the navy department
thinks of Admiral William Shepherd
Benson, Chief Of Naval Operations,
president of the general board of the
navy, and the one man, above all 9TH
ers, upon whom rests the success or
failure of the fleet
When congress recently wrote into
the law that Admiral Bensons orders
were to be considered as emanating
from the secretary Of the navy and
have full force and effect as such" it
showed what it thought of him.
The Chief of Operations is truly a
southern gentleman. He was born on
small plantation in the heart Of Geor.
gia in 1865, and has carried with him
throughout his brilliant career the
best traditions Of the old south.
Tall, spare, with a most courtly
bearing and full white mustache,
much like his predecessor Admiral
Dewey, the admiral presents the most
distinguished appearance. His rise
has been meteoric during the past few
years.
His first cruise as captain Of bat
tleship was in 1918, when he piloted
the Utah to the fleet penant He then
assumed command of the Philadel-
phia navy yard, where he did his Bit
with such great labor and excellence"
as to be called to Washington in 1915,
when a man was sought to create and
take charge of the new naval office OF
naval operations.
Admiral Benson is not man given
to epigrams especially those Of the
first person. II" seldom falls from his
lips. II he can be induced to admit
his services in Washington have met
with "fair success" the admiral Will
Immediately impress it upon you that
it is solely owing to ~the loyalty and
cooperation" Of his associates.

This is the happy warrior.
This is he.
