The Missouri General Assembly faces how to fund the loss from ending convict leasing as contracts expire. The Star Clothing Co. used 900 convicts, paying over $200,000 in 1912, while other reforms push for a state board, jury pay increases, women on school boards, and a constitutional convention. Women’s suffrage advocates press for a 1914 amendment.
