JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
Governor Gardner Calls Special
Session to Act on Federal
Suffrage Amendment.

Governor Gardner's action in
calling a special session Of the
legislature to act on the Federal
amendment granting equal suf-
frage to women is meeting with
the approval of the people Of the
state generally.
In the call the Governor des-
ignated Wednesday, July 2, as
the date for the meeting and ex-
presses the hope that final ac-
tion may be taken on July A, and
that the amendment may be adj
opted on the natal day of the
country. This, he believes, would
be fitting conclusion to the long
fight which has been waged by
the women for many years.
1t is believed that the amend
ment viii be adopted in a very
short time as the membership of
the assembly expressed a belief
in suffrage at the last session
by granting it for the election of
president and vice-president.
The preliminary expenses of
the session will be $9,471 which
comes from the following
source: Mileage for members Of
the Senate, $1,288; per diem
for Senate members, $685.; mile
age for House, $5,523; pedien
for House, $2,355. Eoch additi
onal day viii cost LOO and re
suits from $3.50, per diem o.
House and Senate members ant
$500 as salary for officers ant
clerks. The printing expens
which will be added to this is
small item.
Reports are in circulation tina
an increase in the assessed va
nation of the STATES nrnnerf
for taxation purposes will 500
be made at a meeting of tn
State Board of Equalization
The loss of revenue from liquc
traffic has necessitated an il
crease in the states revenue &
a result of direct taxes. A po
tion of the loss was made up b
the income, inheritance and co
poration franchise tax laws bl
the real and personal propert
will be forced to bear a portiC
of the burden. It is believed tn
The vaulation Of property W
be increased about 25 per ce
over that of last year.

HOSPITAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The managers OF the new hospital
wish 20 announce they will secure
possession Of the Carroll sisters build
ing the 18th OF this month.
The building is now being repaint-
ed and remodeled II IL hoped no
time will be lost In having 1t ready
for occupation within two weeks.
The plan to be followed in its man
agement VIII be to give the best pos
sble services at the least compatible
charge. That charge will be deter
mined by the cost of operation. No
attempt to make money on the In
vestment will be tolerated. 1t will
be managed by local people for local
benefits.
The proposition IL not dependent
upon outside aid, nevertheless any
thing you can do to assist us wiz
certainly be appreciated and due
credit will be given.
There is no intention whatever, to
conflict with the plans Tor the mem-
orial or any other hospital that may
be erected, nor do we wish anyone
to be misled into thinking this one
can take the place Of large one
which is badly needed.
We merely hope to bridge the gap
until the new one Is erected, at which
time our doors will close and every
thing donated to our use will be
turned over to the new one.
This Is an aboye-boa under
standing and any one desiring to
help us can communicate at phone
$50 with
