from them for intimidating pur-
poses-keep all men, white, black,

road proposition, you vote to keep
the 1-2 mills in reserve for some
thing that will do Shreveport
generally-good. You vote to
protect your own interests; you
vote to keep handful of selfish,
rich men from entailing on a lot

or vote-the laboring man, the
taxpayers generally are asked to
come forward and give away their
last cent of exation for, and it is
said that every enterprising citi-
zen ariH do 1t, too.
1t is inconsistent enough to ask
the public to assist a few private
individuals in an enterprise that
will benefit no one but these indi-
viduals, it is down right selfish
ness to ask the public to give it's
all to the project. Shreveport has
at her disposal only2 l-2 mills to
be voted away for subsidies. Be-
yond this the law forbids her to
now go. That gone, and no mat
ter what enterprise may knock at
her gates; no matter how large
and well paying proposition
may be submitted she will be
powerless to accept it and the
golden opportunity must go on to
some other city that has not-in
her reckless blindness-closed the
doors against enterprises.
Shreveport has won a reputation
for being enterprising; her busi-
ness men are reputed to be wide
awake, ready for a paying invest
ment but hard to be drawn into a
visionary scheme. Her people
are talked of as living in the up
to-date age, but if the taxpayers
go to the polls next Wednesday
and vote away their last cent for
this little imitation of railroad
enterprise, the business world will
certainly lose confidence in their
business iudgem ant and will say,
