HYDE URGES CUT IN IN ..-.
HERITANcE TAX, AT
FECTING ONLY WEALTHY
Governors Change of Heart Gives
Little or No Relief to
Farmers.

Jefferson City. Mo-, June 3D.
Farmers and home owners of the
state will get little relief from bur-
densome taxes despite a change of
heart by Governor Hyde who now
says he wants to reduce taxes.
At recommendation of the govern
or, bills have been introduced in the
special session to reduce the income
and corporation franchise taxes and
also to provide 4 small cut in the
levy for state purposes. However, at
time. the governor has re-
quested that the inheritance tax be
reduced. This latter tax has been
effecting only large estates and the
property of wealthy persons who are
able financially to meet the taxes.
Now the governor purposes to re-
duce this inheritance tax for the
wealthy class while, as chairman of
that state board of equalization. he
votes to increase the assessment of
farm lands Il, the state 100 to 900 per
cent and the assessment of personal
property 10 to 500 per cent.
The proposed cut in. the state levy
is negligible as compared with the in
creased assessments which have been
saddled upon the people, the owners
of farms and town property being un-
able to escape the increase.
At the same time many persons
with money and bonds and other
forms of intangible property will be
able to evade the increased taes.
The regular session of the legisla-
ture passed bills lowering both the
income and corporation franchise
tax, but they were vetoed by the gov
.rnor. After the attention had been
:alled to the additional tax burdens
'eing saddled upon the people, there
vas such a statewide protest that
he governor was forced to resubmit
he propositions to the special ses-
ion.
A bill has been introduced in the
louse of representatives by Grover
oyce of Kansas City, providing for
he outright repeal of the state in
ome tax but it is certain that ad-
leaders will not permit
he bill to pass.---

Nearly billion more is now due
from the allies in interest on these
loans which has not been paid for
two years and will not be paid for
another year at least. !,
Under the Harding refunding plan

now in the form Of S per cent ac-

ing thirty or forty. years hence at .
higher rate of interest. The increase
in the interest rate above S per cent
would be sufficient to yield the ad-
ditional amount due to the United
States in defaulted interest.
These allied government bonds
then would be placed on the market
by the United States government
from time to time and sold to invest
ors. The proceeds from the sale of
the bonds to individual investors
would be employed by the govern
ment to retire Liberty bonds.
The Harding plan for treatment of
the defaulted interest is likely to|
meet opposition il, congress, partiet-
1arly on tho part of those who con-
template employing the back interest,
when paid, to- finance the bonus for
ex-service men.
Whether the allied bonds when
sold to the people should be guar
anteed by the United States is an-l
other question that will come up in
congress when the authorization bill
is considered The administration
plan, however, so far as it has been
disclosed up to date, contemplates the
sale of the allied bonds themselves 70

] Jefferson City, Mo-, June 18th
lower house of the Missouri legisla
I tnre Tuesday rebuked Governor Hyd
when. BY vote Of IS to 43, it re
jscted county unit bill which Rep
resentative Elmer. of Dent county
sought to introduce to overcome tn
referendum which suspended tn
county unit bill, passed during tn
regular session.
The governor resubmitted tn
question Of the county unit schoo
law to the legislature and the new
bill was prepared after a conferenc,
between the governor and some Re-
publican leaders.
When Elmer introduced the bill
Representative Whitaker, Hickory
county Republican who fought the
county unit bitterly during the regu-
lar session. raised objection to the
bill being received and printed.
Members of the legislature de-
clared they could not remember
when the rule, providing for the OBJ
lection to q bill. lad been invoked.
Elmer explained that the new
measure, indirectly had county op-
tion feature, in that all counties that
did not want to remain under the
BILL could vote themselves out. The
bill also exempted Jackson and St.
Louis counties from its provisions.
Representatives Bailey Of Jasper
county and Dunlap OF Daviess coun-
~. both Republican leaders spoke in
favor OF Whitaker's objection.
Bailey declared the regular session
passed the county unit bill, that it
was suspended through the referen-
dun and that the matter is now up
70 the people to decide.
He declared that the special session
was called for the primary purpose
of considering the road legislation
and that this should be done As soon
a. possible without confusing it viii,
other propositions.
The action of the house is clear

to let stand such Objectionable bills

told Of idle pastures and empty stoct
pens in the industry.
The moving of feeding stock from
western ranges to farms has virtual.
ly ceased, the speaker said. An Il.
most complete paralysis of sheep and
cattle raising has resulted in a flood
of inferior material to the markets
with no feeders available to absorb
the natural dissemination back to the
farms, they added.
E. S. Coddington, local livestock
broker in summary of the general
situation in the industry said;
"On recent trip through Missouri,
pasture. after pasture with no stock
grazing upon them were found.
Farmers and catt1cmen further vest
have been hit so hard by feeding that
they have neither the credit nor
confidence to continue operations.
Two disastrous .collapses of the mar
ket for fat cattle in the last two years
have forced thousands of men to turn
their attention to grain growing ia
order to meet the demands Of the
banks which hold their notes. Young
calves are being rushed to market
rather than to the feed lot.
Nothing is moving in sheep and
horses. The whole pyramid has col
lapsed because Of the withdrawal Of
credit from the stock raisers. At
present it is impossible to finance
feeding because the banks have been
badly scared over. the unstable con-
ditions of the livestock industry $. !

ball eleven, emphasized the impor-
lance and value of physical education.
He said, in part:

other things to develop the well round
