not take long to conclude an arrange
ment by which the owen Magnetic Mo-
tor Sales Corporation should handle the
Liberty automobile.
When Mr.. Pmmmer took up the sale
of the Liberty car two years ago he
was interested in it because II was a
high grade small automobile. He had
always been associated with quality cars,
although larger than the Liberty. 1t
was natural that he should continue to
sell high grade cars to the class of own
ers he dealt with formerly. Naturally.
again, the owner list of the Liberty to-
day is made UP of people of the same
standing as those who have owen Mag
uetiC and other high grade cars.
Percy owen was certain from the be-
ginning that the high grade clientele
already represented among Liberty own
ers would he excellently served by the
owen organization. AS former New
Yorker, Percy owen mas long been ac-
quainted with Mr. Partridge. who Is n
real veteran Of metropolitan motor car
business. In his new association he is
acting as a hyphen between the Owens.
1t is thus a sort of Partridge
owen combination that stands behind
the Liberty car in New York city.
High grade elements, making ii an
exceptional performer in the small car
field, make the Liberty distinctive" says
Mr.. Partridge. Although IL does not
include the Entz magnetic transmission
in its chassis. it is one of the finest cars
of its type | have ever seen. There are
of course many persons who do not
care to pay as much as we charge for
the owen Magnetic. To serve the pub
lie to the limits OF our capabilities we
felt tiat we would be doing good
thing to add another car to the line
Wren the Liberty became available We
felt certain that this was the desirable
connection for both Sides

five cents on the 500 valuation" The
total taxable wealth of Missouri is
now a little less than two billion dol
lars.
Permits More City Debts.
The fifth amendment relates to lin
iting of municipal Indebtedness. The
Missouri law states that no county,
city. town or school district may be-
come indebted to an amount exceed
ing the revenue of that political unit
for one fiscal year. But cities of the
state between 1000 and 10000 in
habitants are allowed 10 incur addi-
tiOnal Indebtedness for water works
and light plants.
The fifth amendment. if adopted,
would extend the privilege of addi-
tiOnal Indebtedness to apply for paw
ing. matchmaking, grading and other
street improvement work within the
city.
The sixth amendment concerning
the prohibition of the manufacture.
sale and giving away of Intoxicating
liquors in Missouri reads as follows:
The manufacture of intoxicating
liquors is hereby prohibited in this
state, except for medicinal. scientific
or mechanical purposes. The sale of
intoxicating liquors is also hereby
prohibited in this state. except for
medicinal, scientific or mechanical
purposes. The giving away of intOX-
icating liquors is also hereby pro-
hibited in this state. except for medi-
cinal. scientific or mechanical pur-
poses. The manufacture or sale of
wine for religious or sacramento pur-
poses is also excepted The constitu-
ti-nal provision shall not take effect
until November l. 1919
Would Start Loan Fund.
The seventh amendment would es-
tlblish in the state treasury a fund to
be known as the Homestead Loan
Fund. The plan is to help citizens of
Missouri purchase hcmesteads and to
help them erect permanent improve
ments. No loan on one homestead is
to exceed $4,000 Every loan made
from the fund would bear interest at
3 per cent per year. beginning one
year after the date of the loan. Ev-
cry loan would be properly secured.
The eighth amendment provides
that "all public revenues for state,
county, municipal. school and all 9TH
er public purposes shall be derived
from taxes on the value of land eX-
elusive of improvements and from
such taxes as may be imposed by law
N the manufacture and sale of intOx-
icating liquors and tobacco"
1t also makes allowance for taxing
of incomes and inheritances, and
states that this measure shall not
prevent the imposition of such Ii
cense taxes as may be necessary TO a
proper exercise of the police power"
The ninth amendment would au-
thOrize cities having a population of
more than 100000 inhabitants to pro-
vide by ordinance for the election Of
a charter commission to frame a new
charter as well as for arrangements
pursuant to the adoption of the new
charter. This, if passed. will apply
only to Kansas City. as the case of
st. Louis is already covered.

Nine Constitutional Amend
ments Will Be on Ballots
Tuesday.
DIGEST OF MEANING
Six Submitted by Legislature
Three of Them Are
Through Initiative.

Next Tuesday the qualified voters
of Missouri will adopt or defeat indi-
vidually nine proposed amendments
to the constitution of Missouri.
Although the full context of the
amendments have been published for
the past two weeks in newspapers in
every county of the state. il is doubt
full if one voter in fifty has informed
himself upon the issues at stake. The
following is a digest of issues in
yOlved.
The firt six amendments are sub
mitted by action of the State Legisla-
ture The seventh, eighth and ninth
are submitted through the use of the
initiative
The first proposed amendment is a
proposal aimed at better rural
schools. II provides for the raising
Of annual rates of taxation for school
purposes in rural districts from 65
cents to 100 cents on the 500 valua-
tiOn of property, when the majority of
the voters who are taxpayers of a dis
Under the existing section of the
constitution. only districts formed of
cities and towns have the right to in
crease the levy.
The second amendment, concerning
the public school fund, involves three
district provisions. II proposes a
change in the wording of section 6,
article IL, of the constitution. the pur-
pose of such change being to secure
for the free public schools and the
State University all of the revenue to
which those institutions are rightfully
entitled
State Aid Included.
The same amendment would levy
general state tax of Is cents on the
800 valuation, to be used for school
purposes only. 1t also provides that
the General Assembly shall assist any
school eight months of the year.
The third amendment is a good
reads" issue. II authorizes the coun-
ty court to make a special levy of IS
cents on the 500 valuation of a road
district for road purposes within that
district when the majority of the vot-
ers at a special election so direct
The f-urth amendment, concerning
taxation, is another good roads"
measure 1t would cause to be levied
a general state tax of 10 cents on the
800 assessed property valuation, the
tax to be used by the counties for the
building and maintenance of public
RAIDS and city streets.
One-half of the revenue derived
from such levy would be placed to the
credit of the state road fund: one
fourth would be apportiOned to the
counties of the state and to St. Louis
according to their respective areas:
and One-fOurth would be distributed
according to population.
Whenever the taxable property of
the state shall amount TO three bill
lin dollars" the amendment pro-
vides, the rate shall be reduced to
