The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-03-19


previous months record in the history
of the commonwealth. Missouri has
never been more prosperous from any
angle than right now. In actual hard
cash, the real mazuma in the States
Golfers at the present moment is near
ly three times greater than the larg-
est sum ever possessed by Missouri.
The existing Democratic State ad-
lministration gave to Missouri a work
mems compensation measure which is
as good as the best to be found in any
of the forty-eight States, and, which
effect will fill long felt want. For
twelve years the State Federation of
Labor battled for such legislation be-
fore it was enacted. The present law
has been accepted and warmly APP
proved of by the Missouri branch of
the American Federation of Labor,
which has State membership of over
! 100000 men and women.
Through reconvening the Fiftieth
General Assembly in extraordinary
session during the early summer of
1919 to ratify the Federal constitution
al amendment granting equal suffrage
to women, Gov. Gardner gave Nilsson
ri the proud distinction of being one of
the pioneer States in this popular
movement, which is about to be
crowned with victory through the APP
proval of the proposition by the thir-
ty-fifth and thirty-sixth State. The
amendment when adopted will fully
enfranchise 100000 women of Nilsson
ri over Il years old, including those
who refuse to admit they have at
tanned that age.
During the regular session in early |
1919 of the Fiftieth General Assembly, |
Missouri women were given the right |
to vote at general elections for the |
| President electoral college.
Much needed good roads measures,
meeting every requirement of the
Federal aid act, TO allow Missouri to |
accept $2,545,80S apportioned for that |
purpose to the State from the United |
States Treasury, to be used with and |
in addition to State road funds, were |
enacted by the General Assemblies of |
1917 and 1919.
A bond issue of 100000 900, to be
voted upon as a constitutional amend |
ment at the November, 1920, election, |
to provide funds to give Missouri q |
system of good roads in keeping with |
its present prosperity and high stand
ing among all Statese, was authorized |
by the 1919 General Assembly. The
revenue annually derived through H.
censing automobiles, chauffeurs and |
dealers in automobiles, is to be used |
to create huge sinking fund to pay
bonds at the end of thirty wears
