Legislative Doings. A joint committe is investigating charges that State game wardens have used their offices for political ends; and a bill has been engrossed the senators dug into Jefferson City and its people, evidently intending to produce something for home con- sumption only, House committee on Ways and Means reports adversly on inheritance FURNACE ‘Is the Heart of the Home Equipment HAT is a Guarantee good for if your furnace doesn’t work? If you were going to buy a furnace would you not rather en- trust the business to someone who knew right at the start what could be done—nothing problematical about it? That kind of furnace work is being done—WE doit. It’s the new, the modern, kind. Nothing left to chance or guesswork—every- thing figured out in a PLAN right in the beginning—the location of furnace, warm air, cold air, size of smoke flue, depth of base- ment—all harmonized, so to speak, to produce what you started out to buy—a perfect furnace plant. Now is the time. Summer time isthe time to install a furnace. Then the furnace—that must be good, too; costs you a trifle more—costs us more, too—but it is by far the cheapest, which would be proved very shortly, too. We believe the good ROUND OAK furnace has more and greater points of merit than any fur- nace we know of. We think it is absolutely the.best of them all. When correctly installed it will do more heat-making with the same fuel than any construction in the business, and wear a life- time. Good furnaces and good furnace work interest ts, and should interest you. Furnace book, ‘‘Warmth and Comfort,’’ on John Ray * meee N. Main St. OR. J. M.

Railroads doing business in Mis- souri and incorporated in some other state, will be enjoined from taking personal injury suits and similar cases from the state to federal courts, under the terms of the Busby bill which has passed the House. The Phelps bill, which was passed in the House, will prevent discrimina- tion in passenger rates; and the House also engrossed the Lloyd anti- discrimination bill, and both will re- ceive early consideration from the Sente. ‘ A bill aiming to stop the building o} drainage ditches and the reclama- tion of swamp lands, was squelched by the House. A bill has been presented in the Senate prohibiting the - killing of Hungarian quail for three years. - The measuré introduced by Mr. Cheshire in the House, requiring all medical practicioners to apply to State Board for a liscense, is not aimed at Christian Scientists, so the author of it avers.

House resolution fixed February 28th as last day upon which bills could be introduced at present ses- sion, appropriation and _ redistrict- ing bills excepted. Senate committee on appropriations reported favorably on bill providing fora State River Commission, and appropriating $50,000 for its support. A house bill to the same end appro- priates but $17,000, but the former bill will probably be passed. Governor Hadley made the follow- ing appointments and sent them to the Senate for confirmation: Byrd Duncan of Popular Bluff, member of the board of managers of the Farm- ington Hospital for the insane, for a period of four years, and Daniel Ulen of Dexter, for a period of four years; R. M. White of Mexico, member of the board of managers of the Fulton Hospital for the insane for a period of four years. ’ Bills to increase the jurisdiction of Courts of Appeals, from $7,500 to $10,000 are favored by both members of both branches of Legislature. Also bills aimed to adjust difficulties in transfer of cases between the Appel- ate Court, and from the Supreme Court to the latter. Lawyers are charged with boosting increases in jurisdiction of Court of Appeals at each session of Legislature by those opposed to measures. There seems to be no liklihood of the bill for an intermediate peniten- tiary, introduced by Representative Gillespie of St. Louis, passing, al- though endorsed by Governor Hadley. The bill proposes to separate old and confirmed criminals from first of- fenders, and is reformatory in char- acter. Immediately following Governor Hadley’s special message in the House on Friday, Feb. 27, a resolution of censure was adopted by a strictly party yote upon a call for a division. Mr. Sharp of Clay offered the reso- lution, which expresses the resent- ment the majority of representatives feel against the Governor’s attempt to coerce them in the matter of pas- sing ahome rule bil! for St. Louis and Kansas City. The executive had clearly indicated in his message, his intention to veto any home rule bill thatifailed to bear his endorsement. The message pleads for the passage of a bill sponsored by Hadley him- self. The people of St. Louis and Kansas City desire to conduct police, excise and election affairs themselves, The legislature is in sympathy with them, and the fight is on with the re- sult rather uncertain so far as home tule is concerned.
