Missouri Segrated Schools Question Reignited in Convention
Constitutional Convention votes to retain separate schools for white and colored children with an exception for small districts. A State Board of Education of eight members and a Missouri Commissioner of Education will oversee schools. The constitution would require at least 25 percent of revenues for free public schools. State university governance remains with a nine-member board of curators.

Committee Tied on Court Plan In Tie Vote
A 12 to 12 tie by the Judiciary Committee sends the non partisan court plan back to the Constitutional Convention without recommendation. Judge Rex Moore of Trenton presented a substitute offering voters two candidates versus the current plan's yes no choice. The Local Government Committee chaired by William L Bradshaw reported File No 11, a 15 section substitute detailing county boundaries, governance forms, officer terms and compensation, and county consolidation provisions.

State Revenue Department proposed with three divisions
Committee on Finance approves creating a State Revenue Department to consolidate all tax collections under one agency headed by a Director of Revenue. It would include Collection Treasury Budget and Comptroller, with all funds under the treasurer and warrants by the comptroller. The fiscal year would start July 1, and local units would file annual budgets and financial reports under legislative setup.

Redistricting plan backed by Constitutional Convention leaders
The Legislative Committee proposes a bipartisan ten member redistricting commission appointed by the Governor to redraw Missouri senatorial districts after each census or face at large elections if it fails. The plan sets district representation by dividing state population by 34, aiming for no district below 34 percent of that quotient, and includes tweaks to legislative clerk caps and adjournment limits.
