BILL ASKS DEATH
FOR EMBEZZLERS
/
JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 23 —
The various committees oi the house
and senate will hold their first hear
ings next week on bills which were
introduced in the general assembly
this week.
A total ot 234 bills were offered in
the house during a four-day period,
while 90 measures were introduced
in the senate.
No outstanding legislation was
proposed in either branch of the leg
islature during the week. Perhaps the
most important bills were in the
series of measures proposed by the
Missouri Bankers’ association to
strengthen the present banking laws.
The bills carrying amendments to
the banking laws included a heavy
penalty for officials permitting loans
in excess of the present provisions of
the law.
Would Exscute Embezlers.
Rep. Edward Davidson, St. Louis,1
introduced a bill which would make
it possible to impose a death sen-1
tence on an official or employe of a
bank who embezzles the funds of his
institution.
Rep. H. Clay, Webster county,
today announced the first hearing on
the federal child labor amendment
probably will be next week.
Rep. Day, who is chairman of the
committee on constitutional amend
ments, said he believes the commit
tee will report the amendment unfa- !
vorably and that the house will re
ject it by a vote of at least 4 to 1.
"Missourians are opposed to the
child labor amendment,” said Repre
sentative Day, "because they believe
the state is able to take care of
its own labor problems. We have
been drifting gradually to the cen
tralization of power in Washington
and it is high time to call a halt. I
have not met a single member of the
house who is in favor of ratifying
the ’amendment.
Leaders Oppose Amendment.
“Apparently all the leaders in both
the house and senate are opposed ot
the child labor amendment, the asso
ciated industries of Missouri, repre
senting the manufacturing interests
of the state, are carrying on a cam
paign against the amendment.”
While Gov. Sam A. Baker made
no mention of the child labor amend
ment in his inaugural message, it is
known his policy is opposed to legis
lation which will impose further fed
eral restrictions on the people of the
state.
None of the bills to carry out the
recommendations of the governor on
the consolidation of some state de
partments were introduced this week.
The principal consolidations urged
by the governor were labor, mines,
and inspection departments under
the one head of labor commissioner
and the merging of the various ac
tivities of the state board of agri
culture under a' commissioner of ag
riculture.
