LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNED
ON SATURDAY

JEFFERSON CITY, March 49,
Saturday the 51st General Assembly
of Missouri adjourned at 4 o'clock
Ranking high in Importance, in Mis-
souri, legislation are the workmen's
compensation and child welfare
measures, which were enacted into
laws. The legislative score in the
passage Of social and welfare legisla-
ton is exceedingly high.
The Legislature put women as far
as it gould upon an exact civil footing
with men, and threw about them all
o fthe laws which have heretofore ap-
piled to men. A constitutional amend
ment was submitted, which VIII strike
from the state legislation the word
male" and put women upon an even
plane with men in running for office.
An abatement and injunction law
for the suppression of immoral re-
sorts was passed, this being one Of
several bills dealing with the subject
Of public morals. One of the meas
-ures dealing with public morals which
failed 10 pass, largely because Of the
rush of other work and the fact that
there are now laws and ordinances ID
most cities dealing with the subject
was the motion-picture censorship
bill.
The Legislature made appropria-
tions aggregating $2S,713,301. Ap'
parently the revenues have been over
appropriated by $Ss350,000, which
however, can be taken care Of by the
Governor through his veto.
The State Tax Commission estimat.
ed the revenues Of the state for the
years 1921 and 1922 at approximately
$28, 100000. This estimate made nj
allowance for reductions in the in
come and corporation franchise taxes
The Legislature will reduce both taxes
before adjournment, striking dowr
the income from 1h cents to cent
and cutting the corporation franchise
tax directly in two.

EARLY FARM
TARIFF IS
NOW PLANNED

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Pres-
ident Harding has suggested to Chair
man Fordney that the house ways and
means committee sound out the senate
Republicans as to the feasibility of
early passage of an emergency tariff
that would take care of the farmers.
This bill is Of universal interest.
The proposal was discussed at
length, but was said the committee
reached no definite conclusion. It was
the idea Of the President, members
said, to avoid an embargo, an dto limit
the bill to a very few items including
wheat and wool.
The Presidents suggestion met
with opposition by western members,
who insisted it would take as much
time to pass an emergency and a per-
manent tariff bill. When the meeting
ended, members said the committee as
body had not turned back on its
stand of week ago, when it voted
unanimously against an emergency
tariff and then voted 13 to 2 to give
a permanent tariff right Of way.
