Speaking OF the proposed income tax,
which he warmlyupholds, Mr.. Voorhees,
said:
The proposition contained in the
pending bill 10 levy tax OF . per cent
on all net incomes OF corporations and
ofindividuals.in excess OF $1,000 per an.
nun is so just and equitable towards
tho hard working taxpayers Of meagre
resources throughout the entire coun-
try that not word in defense or expla-
nation would seem necessary here or
anywhere else. But the narrow and
corroding scliishacss OF riches has been
aroused py this simple measure OF jus
tice into fierce resentment and conteu-
ton. We hear on all hands the dicta-
torial voice OF individual and corpora.
ton wealth demanding that it shall not
be disturbed by tho slightest touch OF
the ,ax.gatherer, whatever may be the
demands OF the government or the op-
preston OF toiiing masses.
Referring to tho wool schedule, he
said: Ii believed wool on the free
list would hurt the farmer l would not

all criminal cases ON final trial, each side
| shall not be allowed to summon more than
six witnesses, unless the District Attorney or
other Attorney representing the State or
| the accused or his council, the case may
be, shall present written application to the
judge, setting forth under oath what he OK
| poets to prove by the additional witness,
| that an additional number is required to
meet the ends of justice, and to make a
proper prosecution of defense, the case
may be; provided that in case shall the
parish pay more than twelve (I2) witnesses
| more than that number have been summoned,
| and claim pay for their attendance, the
judge shall designate which twelve {Ie)
shall be paid, according to the financial
| condition of the witnesses respectfully, and
| the trouble and expense entailed by their
| attendance.
! SEC. 2. BE it further enacted, etc.,

| hereafter it shall he unlawful for any per-
| sons, corporations or firm in this State to
| issue tickets or checks rcdcemablc only in

Wonderful stories have been told
concerning the extreme delicacy of
the scales used by the minis at Pila-
delphia and London. That at the
first named place is said to tell the
exact weight of hair; the London
wonder shows difference in the
weight of card after a name has
been written on it. ssThe most ac-
curate scale in the world" is now
being discussed in England. 1t is
SO finely balanced that it shows the
weight of a candle or taper to be
much less after the fame has been
extinguished.

Bill Arp says: Wish was wo-
man awhile and was running the
missionary or getting up money for
the vacation. The ladies bought
that beautiful music box when the
times were good and have to pay
for it when they are bad, but they
will do it, for it makes delightful
church music and the women will
not give it up. They expect to
make $50 by lawn party, and
some more at something else, and
we lords of creation have got to pay
1t, money or no money. In the
first place We have got to furnish
the cake and ice cream and the
bread and meat aud pickles and all
the etceteras, and then go to the
frolic and buy them again, but this
is woman's way. and, of course, it
is all right. It would be cheaper
to ms to subscribe the $50, but they
knew we won't do it that way, so
they make us do it another way.
They give as frolic and make us
pay for it. Blessings on the wome n.
As long as they are engaged in such
work they won't banker after fe-

Latest news from Washington in
dicate weakening on the part of
the Senators and an early agreement
by the conference committees is
probable. It is now believed that
sugar will fare we'll, whichever house
wins. If the present provision is
retained Louisiana will have no
cause to complain and if the Houses
proposition to place as per cent
nat duty on sugar and the bounty
for this year, is adopted, the sugar
interest will be safe.
