The following statement has beer
issued by Governor Gardner relative
to the attempt to suspend the inheri-
tance tax law by resort to the refer
endum:
"To the People of Missouri: | have
received a letter from the bankers of
st. Louis in which they inform me
that all details have been completed
for the loan to the State of $2,150,000
to pay the States old debts, but that
they are now compelled to withhold
payment until June II because they
learn that petitions are being circu-
lated to refer the inheritance tax bill
to the people for a vote two years
hence, which would prevent the States
receiving the revenue during that
period. The bankers are justified in
the position which they have taken,
because | stated to them that the
receipts from this and all other reve-
nue. bills would be available to pay
off this loan. And unless the bills
become operative there will be no way
Of repaying the money.
81 am deeply grieved and aston
ished to learn that a movement is be-
ing made to defeat the inheritance
tax bill. The statement that is being
made to secure signatures that this in
heritance tax bill would rob the poor
widow and orphans is false. The bill
specifically exempts widows to the ex-
tent of $4,000 and each child to the
extent of $4,000 This is a more lib
eral exemption than is made in prac-
tically any other State in the Union.
"If there ever was a time in the
history of our State when patriotic
citizens should have their eyes wide
open that time is now. If the loan
is not made every State institution of
Missouri will be crippled and democrat
lied. We will be unable to pay the
debts of the University, the Normal
schools, the insane asylums, the
schools for the deaf and the blind, the
homes for the old soldiers, the pensions
of the soldiers, the claims for slaugh-
tered live stock, the debt for meat and
supplies for the penitentiary-in fact,
all work for the State will be practic-
ally stopped. Besides, it will mean
an annual loss of 100000 for the
school children of the State. These
debts cannot be paid out of the pres
ent revenue.
State will Be Crippled.
"And the most serious question of
all will be that just at this time, when
the eyes of the nation are turned to-
ward Missouri for help, she will not
be able to respond if the inheritance
tax. bill is defeated. We will not be
able to pay the $4,000 past due for
the national guard. Neither can we
pay 400 per cent increase demanded

OBITUARY

Mary E. Barron, nee Boyd, beloved
wife of Everett Barron, was born on
May II, 1871, and died on May 8,
1917, aged forty-fve years, II months
and "a days. She confessed her faith
in Christ about thirty years ago and
united with the Baptist church at
Avon, of which she lived constant
member until her death.
On November 20, 1898, she was
united in marriage to Everett Bar
ron. She became so afflicted with
rheumatism in 1901 that she was I'M
able to walk without aid; in Febru-
airy, 1903 became unable to walk at
all. Her ailment became such that
in September, 1904, she lost the use
of both arms, and by December, 1905,
was the last time she was ever known
to lie on either side and had been COM
PEELED to lie one way all the time.
She bore her suffering with the fin
est degree of patience / ever knew any
one to possess. She grew worse on
last Sunday. A physician was called
Monday. No one thought her condi-
ton critical. Her husband and moth
er were caring for her, but at her re-
quest they lay down to rest, during
which time she passed away at about
A o'clock a. m. on the above mentioned
date.
She received the careful and I'M
stinted attention of her dutiful hus-
band and seemed to reciprocate the
kindness shown her.
She is survived by her husband,
mother, Mrs. Harriet E. Boyd, and
two brothers, John and Nathaniel
Boyd, and a number of other rela-
tives.
The remains were brought to the
Mayberry cemetery west of Avon, and
were followed by large concourse of
sympathizing relatives and friends.
The writer preached the funeral, af-
ter which the body was laid to rest to
await the call of the resurrection of
the dead.
May Gods blessings rest upon the
bereaved.

A Symbol of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temper
ance and purity. AS a badge they
used the fve-pointed star which they
regarded as symbol Of health. A
red five-pointed star appears on each
package of Chamberlain's Tablets,
and still fulfills its ancient mission
as symbol of health. If you are
troubled with indigestion, biliousness
or constipation, get package Of these
tablets from your druggist. You will
be surprised at the quick relief which
they afford. Obtainable everywhere.
