Property.
The proposition to tax real estate for the con-
Istructon of roads, meets with universal favor-of
course, always excepting few drones, who have
amassed fortunes by the industry of others. An
enterprising man buys lot in a part Of the city
destitute of elegant residences. He erects on his
lot a row Of handsome house.-they are occupied
by respectable families-others follow his example,
and in short time desirable neighborhood is Gre.
ated. Some other enterprising man, like John
Hoey, starts omnibus line, and the tide of pop.
ulaton sets to that point The vacant ground lying
between this remote neighborhood, and the heart
of the city, is at once enhanced in value and the
owners are thus made rich, not by their own risk,
and labor and money, but simply as the conse-
quence Of the labor of others.
The construction of the Jackson Railroad is only
an enlargement of the same principle-it is only
its application to larger field of operation. The
history Of railroads in Massachusetts is fraught
with useful Information In 1884, the city of Bos-
ton was worth $2l 500, 600; in 1s49, it was worth
S102, s27, 900. This the year when the Great
Western Railroad was completed. In 1850, the
assessment was Sl3S, 100000.
The State of Massachusetts, in 1910, was valued
at $299, SOS, 329; in 1919, $500, 531, $40.
This rapid appreciation is due to the railroads,
which radiate from Boston, in every direction.
The manufactures were all in complete operation
prior to 1910, and they have diminished, rather
than increased, since that time. The roads have
cost S44, 100000, and pay very handsome interest
while they have thus wonderfully increased the
value of the whole State. Why should not like
causes produce like results elsewhere? The laws
of trade are as certain and immutable as those of
matter. Construct road from New Orleans to
Opeousas-one from New Orleans to Jackson
and they will both extend themselves the one
West, and the.other North and East, gathering
strength they go, and expanding the area Of
New Orleans influence and traie.
Subscriptions coming in very encouragingly;
and perhaps these roads can be built by voluntary
contribution. Bat if sufficient sum cannot be
gained in this manner, then resort must be had to
assessment. We must open an iron street to Ope-
lousas, and another to Jackson; and we must, un-
der the well recognized principle of our law, pro-
coed to assess all whose property is improved by
the new avenues.

him taken into the house, and after lingering an

valuable property about his person were unds-
