Short-Term Stability.

A point which those who are
asked to buy the new Victory notes
should not overlook is the effect OF
the short term which they run will
have on their stability.
The notes are to bear ! ga per
cent and to run but four years. III
the market price should fall off, say
4 points, holder who bought at that
rate would at the end of four years
have received STAG for an investment
of 500, which makes E per cent
rate.
Certainly the financiers of this
country are not going to wait for
any such fall as that before they be-
gin buying. Six per cent Govern
ment bonds are entirely too good to
be neglected, and any such slump as
that imagined is out of the question.
Moreover. the longer the bonds
are held the greater the certainty
that they will not depreciate, for the
shorter the remaining term the
greater the advantage in buying on
a decrease in market value. The
is that these notes will
stay put i'll the market; that as the
business of the country gets back to
normal conditions the tendency will
be upward.-St. Louis Republic.

WITH THE LAWMAKERS
Some of the Bills Passed or Being
Considered by the Legislators.

|
Friday the house passed bill linn
iting the number Of employees in the
house in the future to los persons.
This is expected to eliminate the
clerical force scandal which causes q
wrangle at each session of the legis-
lature. There are several hundred
useless clerks employed in the
house.
T The Senate Thursday defeated the
bill introduced by Senator Brogan OF
St. Louis legalizing boxing matches
and for the state issuing licenses to
athletic organizations, to conduct
contests. up to ten rounds. Fourteen
senators voted for the bill and IS
against it. 1t lacked four votes of
passing. ~
The house Friday by vote of o5
to FL passed the Farris bill providing
that the property of Missouri shall
be assessed and taxed at it's full cash
value and reducing the state tax levy
from IS to 10 cents. Farris, Morgan
of Putnam, minority floor leader
Hostetter, Job of Nodaway and
Parker of St. Louis favor the bill.
1t was opposed by Houck OF Cape
Girardeau.
The House Friday passed the
Chambers bill providing for closed
season of two years for quail. Cham
bers declared there was demand
from the farmers of his section of
the State and quail should not be
killed for period of several years.
He said the birds were fast becon,-
ing extinct.
The cities of St. Louis and Kan
sas City were left out of the new
dog law" which has as its purpose
the protection OF sheep, and was en-
crossed Saturday. 1t provides for
State tax of ST on all male and Sc
on all female dogs. The money will
go into a fund from which farmers,
whose sheep are killed by dogs, will
be reimbursed. The dog law has
been up for consideration before the
Legislature for the past IS years, but
it has always been laughed out OF
the sessions.
The Elder bill, requiring the label
ing of horse, mule and goat meat as
such when offered for sale, has
passed the Senate. The bill makes
it misdemeanor for person to Of
fer for sale goat or mule meat with
out first placing the label on it III
plain words.
The Maxey-Ely bill which i'll
creases the maximum salaries to be
paid rural school teachers, was
passed by the House Thursday by a
vote of 121 to 7. Under the pro-
visions of the bill, teachers holding
first grade certificates can be paid
$1oo month, second grade $50 and
third grade 500. State aid to insure
full term OF eight months, proeid-
ing the districts vote the maximum
constitutional levy of Is cents a $Ioo
valuation, is to be given the weaker
rural schools.
Following what was probably the
most heated debate of the session
the Senate late Friday placed ON the
special calendar the substitute work.
mems compensation measure. Only
two votes were registered against |
the substitute measure. The substi-
tute bill provides for competitive in
surance instead of state monopolistic
insurance and weekly compensa-
ton schedule of So to SIS instead of
$3.50 to $I8. Senator McGruder,
who favored the original bill, said
that labor leaders are willing to ac-
cept the substitute.
