Missouri Legislature Closes As Burned-Through Session Ends
Missouri adjourns after a lengthy session spotlighting the abolition of contract labor at the penitentiary, new banking and fire insurance laws, a Boonville reform school plan, and wide reforms in revenue, education, roads, and municipal charters. Over 1,600 bills introduced, with about 200 likely to become law. The session saw major finance, penology, and state development measures, including the land bank idea and mutual insurance reforms. Officials note notable progress on the fire rating act, the reform school, and the state banking statute, while debates over contracts and labor rules shaped adjournment.

Prospects in 1916 Legislation and Peace Changes
Watterson writes from CulA that in 1916 the country used its opportunities and adapted to changes from the European war. He says the land will flow with plenty and Dems under Wilson will gain credit, while Republicans lack leaders and uncertainty could yield a voter backlash if unemployment worsens. The piece notes peace-aimed laws, Underwood tariff, currency, trust reforms, and new federal trade law. It observes war’s impact on exports, imports, revenues, and investments, and criticizes partisan contrasts over military funding and defense spending.
