THE LACLEDE BLADE
JEFFERSON CITY .LETTER
lly lJepuulimn Tress Bureau
It is proposed to celebrate Mis
souri's one huudredtb anniversary
by a centennial exposition to be
held iu or near St. Louis in, 1921.
A bill has been introduced provid
ing for a commission with authority
to issue and sell capital stock to the
amount of $3,000,000 to pay for
suitable buildings to be erected
and other expenses of the expos
ition. The bill carries an appro-
priation of $50,000, which amount
shall be returned to the state from
the profits.
The charges made by Represent
ative Frank Farris (Dem.) against
the prison board that favoritism
has been shown in the matter of
paroles and that the contract system
at the prison lias been abolished in
name only, induced the house to
appoint a special committee to
investigate the charges. It is also
charged by Representative Kass
man of Frankliu county that
prisoners have been assigned to
road work who are totally inca
paciafed for work and it is the be
lief that the purpose was to dis
courage the employment , of con
victs on roads.
House bill 2S5, relating to the
construction of bridges in drainage
districts, reported lost or stolen
some time ago, has been found.
An attorney who appeared before
the committee, by mistake picked
up the bill with other private
papers and placed same in his
valise, where it was found by bis
wife. The bill has been re-intro
duced and is now before the com
inittee awaiting action.
The house has concurred in a
senate resolution providingr for the
appointment of a special committee
to welcome home the Missouri
soldiers ot the 35th, 42nd and 89th
divisions of the American ex
peditionary force in France on
their debarkation in New York.
Cornelius Roach, chairman of
the state tax commission, speaking
before the house ways and means
committee, in behalf of the Morgan
bills regulating the tax rate fur
county purposes, said: "If the
state board of equalization should
reject the sworn statements of
assessors this year, their power to
do so will be tested in the suprem
court." The remark was levele
at the attorney general, secretary
of state und state treasurer, con
stituting a majority of the board
of equalization, who rejected both
the assessors' aud the tax com
missiouers' figures and substituted
valuations of their own.
The salary grabbers received a
jolt from Representative Hubbard
of Lawrence county, speaking
agaiust the engrossment of a bill
creating a commission of three for
the St. Louis court of appeals and
carrying salaries of $6,000 annual
ly. Hubbard said that if the
average busiuess man would con
duct his business like the legis
lattire conducts the business of
the state, that bankruptcy would
be inevitable, and added that bill
after bill is introduced creating
new joba with fat salaries without
knowing where the money is com
ing from and without regard for
the tax burden of the public.
