LICENSING EDITORS.

In the new License Bill, Section 6 o.
the old act il amended to read IS fol
lows:
| That every individual or individuall
carrying on tho business or profession
of editor. photographer, agency for pub
locations, freight, ticket. claims, patent
rights. and all other business not herein
provided for, shall be graded the same
rs above set forth, (meaning the old act
/ but the license shall be one-half of those
established by this section, provided
. that no license shall be issued hereun-
der for less than S. %.
BY what manner of reasoning editors
are classified with photographers. tick
ct agents, etc., We are unable to COM
prehend. So far rs compelling editors
Especially country editors) to pay a
license. we think it is decidedly mar
row-minaed aud impecunious policy.
The newspaper, IS much as the school
teacher land in many important respects
more SOY is a public educator; it deals
with all matters of vital interest to So
ciety and the public generally; the
wealth, prosperity and growth of the
State, and its cities and towns. is greatly
due to the efforts of the editor; his Ia
bors are for the public good; through
out the pr escribsd sphere of its useful
ness, the country paper exerts benefi-
cent influence. The most intelligent,
prosperous and law-abiding communi-
ties are those in which newspapers are
published. Instead of com polling edit
ors to pay o license, it would De more in
reason Cor the State to grant them a pen
sion, in recognition Of their great public
services. Besides, the country editor,
strictly speaking. is not an editor-he is
more properly skilled mechanic. He
generally does MI the office work. One
day he is busy getting up copy; the next
day he is setting type or working the
press. or performing some other arduous
labor connected with the business. So
far As his receipts are concerned, there is
not carpenter, bricklayer, shoemaker.
tailor or blacksmith. in the country par
ishes, who does not take in more money
in the course Of year than the country
editor, AMI We therefore think it is I'M
just to discriminate against us and make
US pay license for the empty honor of
being ''sn editor" Every year We do
large amount Of work for the State, and
our bills are either greatly reduced, or
we are paid in deprecated warrants, not
10 mention the work TINT we do for the
State for nothing. Hence We hope the
clause in the Genera! License Bill, above
luosel, will be amended BE- strikin. out
The worl editor" and we call the attsn-
ion OF our Senator and Representative
to this matter, hoping they will give it
their earnest attention. in or.ler that it
may not be said Of Louisiana t,.at "she
taxes her newspapers. but rather places
them on an equality with her churches
