Missouri Legislature Lacked Efficient Leadership Says Globe-Democrat
Special correspondent Humero Duval of the Globe-Democrat portrays the Sixty-fifth Missouri General Assembly as inefficient and dominated by lobbying pressure. He contends the Democrats failed to reinstate the auto use tax, mishandled road funding, and delayed reform as Governor Forrest C. Smith faced intra-party strife and pressure from groups including CIO lobbyists and small loan advocates. The piece notes Senate-House discord, factionalism, and a formal duty to revise statutes, with limited notable policy enacted.
