Stark’s Missouri reforms advance amid mixed support
Gov Stark’s agenda moves forward as gasoline tax rises to three cents and car license fees are cut in half. A 2 percent sales tax would lift state revenues near 80 million for 1937 38, with two thirds for old age assistance. The assembly votes to ask voters about lowering the minimum old age assistance from 70 to 65. A driver license law, larger highway patrol, and expanded radio service are funded. Permanent voter registration is adopted in Kansas City and St. Louis, while Levis counties abolish hangings by a lethal gas law. A state cancer hospital and a new Trachoma hospital building are planned. An anti narcotics measure tightens penalties. An offshore tragedy reports a truck sideswiping near Union, Missouri, injuring two and prompting a probe into a missing prisoner program. Some items such as a state revenue department and a teachers retirement fund remain unacted.
