TO THE PEOPLE
Scheming Republican Politicians Try
ing to Use the Referendum to
Bankrupt the State

I by the Federal Government under thu
federal defense act. We cannot sup
ply the money for the College of Ag
riculture nor for the Board of Agri
/ culture, which is now so imperative
| for the production of food supplies.
Those who imagine that will have
no recourse in this matter have moi
considered fully that side of the case
In the first place, | shall advise the
Secretary of State to refuse to accept
any petitions which would set aside
the revenue laws by referendum, be.
cause the Constitution specifically ex.
empts those laws which are necessary
for the safety of the State. Although
not lawyer, / can convince any court
that these revenue laws are necessary
for the safety of the State.
"In the second place, l shall con-
test the petitions on the ground that
money has been spent to obtain them.
This will enable US to bring into court
all those persons who have circulated
the petitions and ask them whether or
not they have received pay, who put
up the money to have the petitions
circulted and what their motives
were.
81 still have recourse to call an ex-
ira session of the Legislature to re-
enact the revenue laws if they are de-
feated through the courts or other
wise, and to have the Legislature make
an investigation as to whether or not
money has been spent to secure sig
natures to the petitions, and who
spent it.
"At the beginning of my admins
tration l stated that Missouri should
take rank with the progressive States
of the nation In order to do. that it
is necessary for us to have roads,
schools, penal reform, high-class State
institutions, and to pay the lebts Of
the State and preserve its credit. That
cannot be done on a per capita tax
rate of $1.70, when other States are
spending practically SIS per capita.
Says He'll Pay Every Debt.
81 am determined to use every re-
source at the disposal of the Govern
or to do this work and to prevent
handful of reactionaries. acting from
selfish motives, from tying the hands
of the State. Therefore, / call upon
the people to refuse to sign any ref
erendum petitions on any revenue laws
passed by the Legislature. And if
they have signed any such petitions
to write to the Secretary of State
asking that their names be withdrawn.
"The honor and credit of the State
must be maintained, and, although
these debts are not incurred by my
administration, propose to see that
they are paid 100 cents on the dollar.
