Railroads face choice on valuations and base rates
The Missouri Public Service Commission will hear April 13 whether railroads' rate increase is approved or rejected based on which valuation of their property is used. Attorneys must reconcile sworn statements differing from tax assessments. Shippers note a wide gap between railroad property values and state tax bases. The report also notes Missouri wheat conditions improving slightly after a cold March and late seeding, with April 1 wheat condition at 64 and a decade low of 75 in 1910.

Taxable wealth totals and veto threaten mothers pension bill
The state total assessed wealth is $1,008,557.44, down $19,014 from county returns but up $34,785 from prior valuations. Gov Major said he would veto the mothers pension bill, arguing St Louis guardians handle such cases better. Senator Kinney urged the governor to kill the measure. The proposal would grant $10 a month for one child and $5 for each additional child to mothers unable to support their families due to disability, prison, or hospital presence, with amendments limiting it to St. Louis. The board of children's guardians opposes the bill, preferring to keep families intact where possible.
