The lower house Of the legislature,
in all probability, will pass redistiict-
ing bill during the present session.
We should not forget that our Govern.
ment is representative government.
Delegates in Congress and members Of
our State Senate are apporlioned to
districts and the national and state
consti'uons contemplate that these
districts shall be equal, so that, as far
as possihl" eaGh ci'zeE shall have in
hi district The same r7te' cy n choos'
ing men.bsT OF Congress- tra mem
Der vi lis SAFE Senate as is exercised
BY voter In any other district. We
do not today have thar consideration
granted 10 vo,era ID Missoa,i. Ihe
apporioument Of our state for legis-
la'ive and congressional purposes is
unfair, and is known to be unfair 10 all
men. No candid Democrat; can de-
iend it as a lait superintendent. 1t
was framed to be unequal; it was de.
signed to give to the citizens OF favor.
ed districts an undue irhuence. Il
was intended to discriminate against
Republicans. II is not right that it
Should be SC. We hope that the time
is coming and has even arrived now,
when the great sense Of justice which
possesses our people Sil teach men oi
all parties that party success is not 10
De promoted at the expense Ct an in
justice TO our citizens. These things
take hold Of government. II we would
maintain that respect for the law which
is necessary for social order, our peo-
pie must understand that each voter
has his full and equal influence in de-
termiGing what the law shall be. We
hope this question Of redistricting the
state on basis Of absolute fairness
will not be forgotten by our Legislature
and that in the place OF the present
unfair genymander Missouri will have
fair apportionment for legislative and
congressional purposes. There is a
sense Of justice and fairness that will
assert itself against any attempt to
coin party advantage out Of public
wrong. The day when voters can be
disfranchised or shorn OF their political
rights for opinions sake must have an
end in Missouri.

Ex Governor Folk is given credit
for the fight made against the repeal
or change Of the present primary law.
II is hinted that the former governor
will again become candidate for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator next year and that he
expects TO play the country primary
vote Of the large cities, II history re.
peats itself he would again win the
nomination in the primary and be
gloriously skinned in the November
election.

A bill introduced by Representive
Booth Of Dallas county compelling the
offering for sale OF about A 200 acres
OF land donated to the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture and School OF
Mines by an act Of Congress in 1862,
hah smooth sailing until it met the
opposition Of Dr.. Hill OF the State
University, Mr.. Booth explained his
bill by saying that these lands have no
taxable value at present because in
the main the timber has been taken
of and small tillable strips are oc
cupied by squatters who escaped tax
alton. He proposed opening the
lands to settlement by the sale oil 80
acre tracts at cost OF not less thaH
$3.50 per acre. But the university
men claim that the land is underlaid
with vast mineral deposits and is be-
coming more valuable every year. Mr..
Booth has at least called attention to
the University's rich mineral holdings
and il by this agitation the development
Of these ore beds has been fastened,
bringing, as is claimed. millions oil
dollars 10 the Golfers Of the state, he
has rendered his state valuable
service. o, let it be soon.

No proposed legislation In recent
years has created greater interest and
more divided opinion than the work
mems compensation bill. Hearings
before the committee have been held
two OF three times a week for several
weeks past and every phase Of the bill
as it affects the various interests has
been considered. It is generally
conceded that some sort Of a compen-
sation law is needed in Missouri and
il is hoped that compromise bill will
be. drafted and put upon the statute
books.

The legislature is asked to make

Jefferson City Letter
Februsry 10. 1919.

Februsry 10, 1912.
It seems certain that that the pres
ent primary law is going to be chang
ed. Three bills are now pending be-
fore the Legislature on favorable com
mittee reports attacking the primary
law. One repeals the entire primary
law, another leaves it optional with the
party committee to decide whether
candidates for state Offices shall be
nominated by delegate convention or
by primary, and the third exempts St.
Louis from being compelled to make
municipal nominations by primaries,
giving the party committees the option
Of primary or delagate convention.
Many Legislators believe that the pres
ent primary law will be changed to
give party committees the power to
choose between the primary and con
vention plans.

By recommending to the Legislature
that the State Tax Commission be dis
solved the Governor is abandoning his
his own child. The State Tax Com
mission was created upon his insistance
two years ago when he told the law
makers 1t was the only method by
which lawful assessment OF property
could be reached. His present
scheme to improve the revenue system
OF the state by separation OF state
and county taxes, is not new. In
1907 Gov. Folk appointed a commits
sion to recommend changes in the
revenue system OF TIM state. This
commission was composed of Hon.
Frederick N. Judson Of St. Louis,
Supreme Judge Wn. M Williams Of
Boonville, former Attorney General Z.
c, Crow, Attorney General Herbert S
Hadley and ProI. Leob OF the Missouri
University. The commission formu'
lated lengthy report setting out the
benefits by a separation Of the sources
Of revenue and recommended a con.
stitutionSl amendment making possible
the adoption Of the plan, The matter
was submitted to the voters OF the
state in the election Of 1908 and was
rejected by more than $4,000 votes.

ARGENTINE WANTS
THE IMMIGRANTS
FROM GERMANY

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-(Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press)-1t
is expected that several million Ger
mans will attempt as soon as passes
are available, to leave Germany and
secure more lucrative employment
abroad.
The newly organized Imperial Mi
grafton bureau denies that a German
commission in the Argentine is at
tempting to arrange for the accept
ance of five million Germans which is
vastly more than the South American
country could suddenly assimilate, but
says that delegates of the new bureau
will shortly go to the Argentine to
protect such Germans as do arrive
here from being robbed and deceived.
The bureau says the Argentine is
'riendly to Germans and offers good
| chances for skilled labor such as car
| 7enters, watchmakers, mechanics and
| printers.
| The Argentine Consulate General
says that commission has been sent
| 70 the Argentine which will buy lano
for the emigrants and institute farms
and schools. He declares that the Ar.
gentine government is willing to wei
come large colonies of Germans bu
demands they should accept Argentine
, citizenship so that there will be NJ
danger of creating state within
state. Precautions are to be takel
against Bolsheviki. Emigrants ar
especially welcome to the territorie
of Chaco Misiones, Chubut and on gov
ernment lands. Twenty to two hun
dred hectars will be given free on con
dition that they are not to be sold, an
cattle and machinery will be advance
on credit.

HAS It O \ ne R
| ITALIAN SISTER

ROME, Italy, Aug. 20.-(CoTes-
9ondcnce OF the Associated Press)-
Seven hours each day Of the italian
nousckceper must be devoted to buy
ing food. The problems of the or
/ dinary American housekeeper pale in
to insignificance even with their trou-
( hlesome servants when compared to
he Italian. Domestic sely...-
in Italy are chronic.
The recent upheayal in Italian ec-
onomics when the government order
/ cd prices of foodstuffs and clothing
reduced fifty per cent las begun its
reaction and the factor affected most
IS the housekeeper. She must start
% market at seven o'clock in the
morning and is forced to hurry from
ore store to another. To obtain q
piece of meat usually takes two hours.
To obtain bread about an hour, eggs
TWO hours, vegetables one hour and a
half and canned goods about an hour.
The houskeeper's day starts by plac-
ing herself at the back of long line
Of waiting customers. The line some
times extends for a half block guard
cd by armed carabineers. When the
buyer is permitted to enter the store
she finds inside a scrable for all sorts
cf commodities. Guards are station
cd there to prevent any mischief III
she obtains what she wants she is
lucky.
She treads over the streets a whole |
morning searching for the things for
lunch and then, in the afternoon she =.
must start on the hunt again for food. F..
If she is looking for butter she is US
ually thankful to 90 away with a can
of American ''bully-beef."

NEW GAME IS
PUT OVER BY
AUTO THIEVES

Motorists, watch out for the new
"bill Of sale" thief when he starts to
work in this part of the state, warn,
the theft bureau Of the Automobile
Club of Southern California.
a brand new game is being put
over" by auto thieves, and it is work
ed like this: car stolen in Southern
California is driven post haste to
some point in New Mexico or Arizo-
na, where one or two thieves in the
car swears to a bill of sale to his
partner" before a notary public.
After the notary has recorded the
bill, the thieves get together, change
tie date of the document so that it
appears to have been issued before
the car was stolen and thus the
thieves are protected from pursuing
officers, providing they have chang
ed the motor numbers and the license
numbers on the car.
But according to J. l.. Stanley and
T. J. Duffy, two self confessed thieves
just caught and returned to Southern
California by the Auto Club detectives
The clubs latest system, known as the
telegram barraQe," cannot be beaten.
When a car is reported stolen, the
club Immediately drops barrage of
kilograms in front of the fleeing
thieves, so that they are apprehend-
ed before they can peretrate the bar
rage either in Arizona, Nevada or
New Mexico
"You can't beat this system, says
the thieves.
