government better was to place The
responsibility for bad government OF
the people themselves and force then
to manage their own affairs. 1t was
pointed out that more than half the
population of the state lived in the
cities, and yet the people of the coun.
try DISTRICTS took more active par
in the government than did his large
percentage of the body polite. He
charged that the Indifference of the
people in the cities and their disposi.
ton to let the management of theiI
affairs be carried on by politicians
was due to their belief that they had
nothing to say about their own gov.
ernment.
The present system of police control
in the cities, it was urged, was all
wrong as it left the people of the cit
les no voice in the selection of their
peace officers. The plan suggested in
the report calls for locally appointed
police commission of not less than
three persons, one of whom shall be
the chief executive of the city. The
board would be bipartisan except for
the chief executive and the power of
removal would be left in the govern
or, though he would not have the
power to appoint successors. It was
pointed out by the chairman that in
most of the large home rule cities the
control of the police system had been
in one person, but the committee had
thought best to provide for three or
more commissioners.
tan
committee of the whole under general
debate and it is probable that amend
ments or substitutes will be offered to
this section when it is considered by
itself. The opposition contends that
the governor, if he had the power of
removal, would practically have the
same power that he now possesses,
since he could remove any commits
sioners he did not like, or could die
tate who should be appointed, under
existing political conditions.
The idea of home rule, it was point
ed out, did not surrender a single DOW
er of the state government, in that it
extended self government only to To-
cal affairs. General laws were left to
the general assembly and the cities
were SUBJECT as now 10 Jne laws Oh the
state. No local law could be passed
that would be in conflict with state
laws.
By the provisions of the report
power is given to municipalities to
acquire land outside their limits for
parks, Fairgrounds, cemeteries and
hospitals. Attention was called to
the case of Joplin, which already owns
park in Newton county, outside its
own city and county limits.
Municipalities would also be given
the right, besides owning their pub
lie utilities, as at present, to extend
the service of these utilities beyond
their corporate boundaries. One rea-
son urged for this feature was that
very few private concerns could be
found to invest in public utilities out
side cities that We're likely to expand
and put their plants out of business.
Cities would be allowed to extend
their boundaries. either within the
county in which they are located or
so as to include any contiguous terri
tory, Incorporated or unincorporated,

WATCH YOUR STEP

Those Democratic candidates for
state, district and county offices
must not imagine that the success
they have achieved involves anything
except a most serious responsibility.
We might just as easily encounter a
sweeping defeat in 1924, if the Demo-
Gratis who were elected to office fail
to meet their tasks with the proper
spirit and the proper sense of duty.
We fought throughout the campaign
of 1922 and during the months that
led up to it to relieve Missouri of ex-
cessive burdens and arbitrary abuses
of power by those who dreamed of
perpetual control of the state by the
victors of 1920. We cannot afford to
deal in a trifling way with the con-
fidence of the people. We must do
our full share toward making good.
If the writer could propose slo-
gan for Democrats who enter upon Of
flee in Missouri at the opening Of tho
New Year, that slogan would be-:
WATCH YOUR STEP!
A careful inquiry, under sanction of
authority, should be made into the af-
fairs of the state and the business
status of each county, wherein we
have been entrusted with local power.
So far as we can, we should propose
remedies for abuses that have arisen.
We should endeavor to guard against
the repetition of the evils which
aroused public Indignation. We
should be careful with the public
funds, and scrupulous in our avoid
ance of extravaganza expenditure. The
basic responsibility still rests upon
the state government, so far as state
affairs go, but there should be the
strictest regard for economy shown in
all appropriations, and so far as the
constitution will permit, safeguards
should be provided against the inOr-
dinate assessment of property valua-
tions, and recommendations should be
made where the barrier cannot be
erected. We are not called upon to
administer the state government, but
we can point the way, and every
Democratic member of the General
Assembly chosen on the seventh
should see to it that there is no fall
tering upon our part in bringing
about that measure of public econo-
my which the people have demanded.
In county affairs, particularly
where county courts have been en-
trusted into the hands of Democrats,
those bodies should consider we'll the
financial condition of their counties,
and endeavor to restore, by some
proper process of equalization, the
assessed valuations with the just
levies that should prevail. The peo-
pie will be satisfied with nothing less
and nothing less should be attempted.
The result in 1922 paves the road

HEED THE SIGNAL

A danger signal has been hoisted
which should be needed by every law
abiding person if we as nation are
not to come to grief.
That signal is the prevalence OF
crime and graft and contempt for
law that is becoming daily more pro-
nounced in all sections of the country
Newspapers are filled with reports
of this abyss of depravity into which
we are falling but their words seem
to fall upon deaf ears. Little is ever
done about them.
True, while the subjects are fresh
in the minds of the people, through
widespread publicity, official inyesti-
cations are profusely promised, and
sometimes started-but too often
suddenly abandoned. Pigeon holes
are safe places for them until the
storm blows over.
But why are so many Of our law
enforcement officers the country ov-
er so derelict in their sworn duty?
Why are there so many "investiga.
tions" started and so few cases actu-
allv brought to trial?
The answer is simple.
Because the law-abiding element Of
our population storms for a few days
and then forgets. while the lawbreak-
er sits tight until the storm subside:
and then goes right ahead with hi:
criminal practices. knowing full vel
that there is little likelihood of any
one being on his trail
And because, again, we as citizens
are derelict in oar own duty. Wher
those of us who vote leave the polls
we seem to consider that we have
properly and fully performed oul
duty.

sociation.)
Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 17-One
Of the most important reports with
which the convention has to deal is
that of the Committee on Counties,
Cities and Villages which has held
the center of the stage in committee
of the whole most Of the present week.
The report is the result of five months
work IN committee, during which
time forty-three proposals and Arti-
Gle TX of the old constitution were
considered exhaustively.
The "home rule" feature of the re-
port promises to receive more atten-
ton tnan any other part of the docu
ment and opposition to some sections
was early voiced in the general de-
bate. 1t was pointed out by the chair
man in his opening presentation that
the charter home rule feature was not
new in this state, but was introduced
in the constitution of 1875 and was
known all over the country as the
Missouri idea. Other states had cop
led from the Missouri code, but had
developed the plan to a greater de-
gree than it's authors, so that while
st. Louis was the first home rule city
in the United States it has smaller
measure Of home rule than any other
city that has copied the Missouri idea.
In his plea for the extension of the
home rule idea to apply to all cities
of the state of 5000 population and
upward the committee chairman de-
clared that the only way to make city

And Gump Vandiver and the Wall
Street-controlled daily newspapers,
who have so viciferously fought the
reelection of Senator Reed, are still
insinuating that Senator Reed was
elected by the Pro-Germans. They
even insinuate that those who voted
for Reed are Pro-Germans. We want
to serve notice on "Pants" Vandiver
that the hundreds of thousands of
German Americans who gave their
sons and their money to help win the
war and voted for Senator Reed are
as good if not better American citi-
zens than this self-conceited "Better-
than thou Vandiver." The hundreds

who with heavy hearts bid their sons

THE RULE OF THE RICH

|
The legislation of the present Con-
gress shows concluslvely tnat our gov
ernment is under the rule OF the rich
| The laws passed on the subjects OF
revenue and tariff give conclusive
proof that Big Business is in control
Ihe repeal of the tax on the protiteers
and the reduction of tax on big in
comes, as well as exorbitant tariff
rates given to favored manufacture
ers-all furnish abundant evidence
that the Republican leaders are CIV
ing to those who have large fortunes
and taking from the poorer members
of society. /.
The contributions made to the cam
paign committees are in harmony with
the Legislative policy of the parties.
The Democrats, opposing special
privileges and defending the equal
rights of all, could not go to individ-
uals or to any class and demand pay
ment for favors Sdone, or contribu-
tions in advance for favors promised.
The press dispatches report $4,000
collected by the Democratic commit
tee and $721 900 collected by the Re-
publican committee. These contribu-
tions include those from the begin
ming of the campaign up to the date
of publication, about ten days from
the date of election. The Democrats
gave small amounts as compared with
the Republican contributions. The
brother of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, Mellon, gave $25,000-nearly
third as much as the entire amount
collected by the Democrats. This
looks like quite sum and yet 1T is
much less that the amount saved to
Secretary Mellon by the reduction of
the tax on incomes. AS he recon-
mended the reduction and as the
House passed it, Mr.. Mellon would
have been saved hundreds of thou
sands on his income tax. If the bill
had become a law as the Conference
Committee agreed upon it, he would
have saved nearly twice as much as
he did; but even as it was he saved
far more than his brother contributed
(unless his wealth has been very
much estimated).
Take the next contributor, John d.
Sr.. gave $4,000 and his
son together this makes an
other $4,000. One family, father and
son, gave nearly third as much as
