KELLOGG a Dodger and Trimmer.
ICincinnati Commercial. Rep


WASHINGTON, Feb FIT appears that
Senator Kellogg Ia responsible for the small
Republican vote on Tuesday, when Cameron
called up the Corbin case, and Kellogg g
action is denounced by the other Senators In
strong terms as cowardly and ungrateful.
Kellogg fears that the Democrats will try to
unseat him when they get majority in the
Senate, and he Is now trying to ingratiate
himself with them. Although he pledged bis
word that he would vote to assist Corbn with
his vote and influence and has reiterated that
pledge daily, he purposely absented himself
when the Corbin case was called up, and
Bruce and other Senators say that they re-
Trained from voting at kellogg's request.
But by THE action Kellogg has lost friends
ON the Republican side and made none on the
Democratic side. One of the oldest and most
distinguished Republican Senators remarked
to-day that Corbin's title to a seat was twice
as good as kellogg's; that he had voted to
admit Corbin because he believed him enti-
tied 10 seat; that he had voted to admit
Kellogg as a political necessity, and he knew
no political necessity that compels him to
vote for man that would play the trick that
Kellogg played on Corhin.

The state Debt.
Voter In Amite independently


For considerable time 1t was good
sound Democratic doctrine, published and
proclaimed generally, TO withhold taxes and
starve out Radcasm. Well, then, after the
accession of the Democratic party to power,
a large number of taxpayers found the ag-
gregate burden too heavy to be borne. II is
ppRsibIe that many Of these parties could, by
subiecting their families to still greater pri-
vations and discomforts, have paid annually,
but TO meet the accumulated claims Ia sim
ply IN impossibiity And this is the present
attitude Of the case. 1t does not now suffice
to enquire how large portion failed from
Inability, how many from sordid dsincli-
nation TO pay, and how many more withheld
because they believed such moneys would be
perverted to their lasting injury, or at any
rate misapplied and squandered. The naked,
glaring, indsputable fact remains to confront
us from every quarter, that this PROSTATE
and Impoverished people cannot meet the de-
mands upon them
What then. can and should be done ? I'm
doubtedly, the first thing to be done Is to
send men to our convention who possess
both soul and mind. They should be states
men In the broad sense of the term, with not
only experience and capacity, but with heart
of commiseration for long suffering peo-
ple. Such men, despite the bubbles that may
oppose, will devise some plan OF general re-
Lief. / would suggest the following:
l. Demand most rigid scrutiny of all
claims. Eliminate the fraudulent from the
honest. EStingnish the former, and on the
latter compound with the creditors at 3 or
not exceeding per cent interest Taxation
will thus be SO lightened that there will not
remain any reasonable excuse for nonpay-
ment In the future.
q Frame an ordinance prohibiting both the
State and parishes from issuing bonds for the
future.
8. Frame another with such provisions az
will prevent the accumulation OF more than
two years of taxes, and let this be retrospect
i've In Its operation as well as prospective.

yrseIess Onces,

When the constitutional convention as
sembles many useless offices will be abolished
We do not need a district and parish Judge
One of these must be done away with We
cannot see the economy In having to pay a
district and parish attorney. One Of these
must be abolished. Marksville Bulletin.
Exactly so. The taxpayers of this State
are suffering under the weight of exorbitant
taxes, licenses, etc, and cry out loudly for re.
form. We want no useless offices to be filled
bv professional politicians; the fact is that
we want that class of smart gentlemen en-
tirely out of power. As an extra inducement
TO get rid of politicians we advocate 9 scaling
OF alliofIicial emoluments from the Governor
down TO ward constable.
Shall this be done2- Houma Courier.

BOATS AND BOATING IN 1928.
To the Editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch:
Let me give you the description of singular
looking boat which made regular trips between
this city and cincinnati In the summer and fall
of 1923. She lay at one of the incline roads,
which at that time. and for long time after
wards. run up the bank to the foot of Market
street. Every other Sunday. as regular as
clock work, she was to be found there. And
now for the description. She was exactly the
reverse of all STEAMBOATS, built now. Her boiler
was set with the furnace doors toward the stern,
her chimney near the stern, and her pilot
house. which was only little box, was away
forward, and made her look very odd. She
was. perhaps. lis feet long and % feet beam and
would carry about 65 tons. Her engine Uhe
cylinder, think, not over IS inches ia dame
teri was alongside the boiler. and connected
with shafts by one large and two small cog
wheels, which made wonderful racket when
under way. Her gentlemens cabin was on the
main deck. and the ladies' above IT, Her name
was a very classical one. Waverley. She was
very slow and had to warp through Letart and
Whites rifles. can not tell how long she run,
or what became of her. b.
