Of the Commercial Club tonight fol
the purpose of discussing the increase
of the license taxes proposed in the
bill introduced in the City Council last
Monday night. Everybody is expected

change.
Many merchants have voiced their
objection to this bill. 1t was submit
ted to the City Council last Monday
night, but upon the request of Secre-
tary Martin of the Commercial Club
final action on the bill was deferred to
Monday night. He asked that the
members of the City Council meet with
the Commercial Club and the Retail
Merchants Association Friday night
to discuss the changes.
1t is believed the discussion will take

every business man of the city attend
the meeting, in order to arrive at the
most proper conclusions as to the rails
ing of the license tax.
Many trades and professions that
have heretofore escaped this tax have
been levied upon in this bill. Barber.
bakers, blacksmiths, all contractors
and many more will be taxed if the
bill is passed by the City Council.

DUNKLIN co. Gets
COMPANY IN A DAY
80 Men Mustered in at Kennett
Last Night After Big
Campaign.

A company of 80 men was mustered
in at Kennett in Dunklin County last
night, following a tremendous cam,
paign of one day in the towns of the
county. The men were raised within
"a hours, due to the efforts of some of
the most prominent and influential
men of Southeast Missouri and espe-
cially Dunklin County.
A temporary armory has been es-
tablisheG in the room of the CONNER
cial Club, where the men were sworn
in last night by Capt. w. w. Bratton,
of the head Offices of the Missouri Ma
tional Guard. The new company is the
twelfth of the Missouri Sixth
A meeting will be held Monday night
at the temporary armory for the pur-
pose Of electing the officers of the new
company. The final physical test will
be given the new recruits that even
ing following the election of the off
GERS.
The rapid recruiting of the company
was principally due to the efforts of
Col. Warren Mabrey of Jackson, Sen
ator Thomas F. Lane of the Cape, who
has been touring the State during the
past two weeks encouraging the en-
listment in the Missouri Sixth. Sen
ator o. H. Harrison, Mayor Clyde
Walker of Campbell and Judge Argus
Cox of Maiden, were also instrumental
in the organization of the company.
Aside from these men, all well
known in Southeast Missouri, repre-
sentatives from Senath, Campbell,
Maiden, and in fact from nearly every
town aided in the recruiting of the
company. The entire county was can
vassed by the workers making the trip
in automobiles, and asking every man
available to sign up with the new
company.
The work accomplished in Dunklin
County established a record for re-
cruiting company. The 90 men mus
tered in last night were found in one
day. Col. Mabrey arrived in Kennett
Wednesday evening to open the big
drive. Senator Thos. F. Lane. who has
been in Dunklin County for several
days, joined the former lieutenant
colonel of the Old Missouri Sixth in
the campaign for getting recruits.
Many young men volunteered their
services before being approached by
those conducting the campaign. Some,
subject to selective draft, preferred to
join the home company rather than be
recruited for the United States army
and be sent away from their friends
with whom they have chance to serve
as members of the Missouri Sixth.
The company organized in Dunklin
County is the twelfth in the new regi
ment of the Missouri National Guard.
Another will be raised in Ripley Coun-
ty, where Senator Lane has been work
ing in behalf of the enlistments for
the last two weeks.
Senator Lane is the most enthusi
astic booster of the new regiment. He
not only joined the company in his
own town as private, but went into
other counties to raise additional COM
panies and help fill the regiment to
war strength before the time for vol
unteering service expires.
