A sprawling 1912 Missouri measure proposes five constitutional amendments. It covers free public education from ages five to twenty, sewer and waterworks bonds in St Louis County, revised state taxation limits, repeal of a suffrage provision with a new section, and voter registration in large counties neighboring big cities. The package seeks voter adoption at the November election.
The proposal seeks to raise all state revenue via taxes on land, inheritances, and franchises for public service utilities, while exempting personal property and improvements on land. It abolishes poll taxes and limits on tax rates, creates a state tax commission, and outlines phased exemptions and classifications for property. The measure asks voters in Missouri to approve at the general election following the first Monday in November 1912.

The measure expands grand jury power to investigate elections, compel production of registration and voting lists, and issue indictments. It details jury presence at polling places, agents for security, and procedural rules for statewide implementation in cities over 25,000. It specifies judge qualifications, voter protections, and public trial timelines.
