To Land Owners.

The Louisiana immigration Associ-
alton is chartered institution form
ed for the purpose of securing desir-
able immigrants to this State. The
Association will keep a book in which
lists of land with their description
and price will be entered for the in
spection Of such persons as may visit
our State with the view of purchasing
lands for homes. The Office at Shreve-
port is in a suitable portion Of the
city, close t. all hotels and depots.
The Association will also answer
all questions by intending home
seekers who may correspond with its
officers. It will also advertise Louis
lana abroad, especially in the States
of the Northwest. The Association
is simply an organized effort to set
forth the advantages of Louisiana as
a home and to bring together the
land seeker and land seller. 1t relies
on the patriotic public spirited citi-
zens and land owners to take stock
which is IS per share. It's charter
provides that it shall pay no divi-
dends, hence all stockholders under
stand that they are uniting in col
lective capacity to develop the State.
The present is the most suitable time
for this work as the completion of q
great trunk line railway to Shreve-
port from the great grain producing
center, whose commercial emporium
is Kansas City, brings Louisiana in
close touch with >cDraska, Kansas
and the great Northwest. The Asso-
citation earnestly requests land own
ers, particularly those having large
bodies, to send on their lists with
postage for correspondence. There
will be no fee for entering the lists or
correspondence relitive thereto.

The Legislature Of Michigan has
passed law granting bounty to
growers of sugar beets and to the
manufacturers of beet sugar. The
State agrees to pay to the farmer
four cents a pound for all the sugar
he raises and one cent pound to
the man who manufactures the sugar.
A bill has also been introduced in
the Legislature of Now Jersey to pay
bounty of one cent a pound on ali
beet sugar made in the State. The
proposition is to tax one class OF the
people in order to make another class
rich. The protection and bounty
idea has spread from the federal Con.
gress to the State Legislature until
there is now a frantic effort to tax
and spare not Every one prefers to
look to a paternal government for
his support rather than to honest
toll and industry. The whole coun-
try seems demoralized into a mad
raid upon the treasury for bonuses,
bounties and Doodle. Tax is piled
upon tax, and the greatest statesman
is not the man who devises wise and
honest and frugal methods Of gov
eminent, but the man who can devise
new methods of taxation and new
and novel ways of looting the treas
ury and robbing the taxpayer. The
man who devised the sugar bounty
scheme declared that he did it in
order to enable the farmers to lift
the mortgages from their homes.
How about those who have to pay
the money? Who is to lift their
mortgages Or to support their fami-
lies when the burden of tho debts of
others is put upon the top of their
own

The most serious objection to the
Dinclcy bill is that it will not give
the country rest from tariff agitation
for even the term of one Congress.
From the day of its passage will
begin earnest and tirclcss effort for
change in its duties. Moreover, this
effort will have good hope OF success.
Some of the duties of the bill are SO
high that it will be easy to rouse
public opinion against them, and this
will condemn the whole law without
discrimination. 1t will be made the
issue in another campaign, and, un-
less the administration shall DO very
fortunate in its general policies and
in the circumstances that attend it,
unless tue country shall be more
prosperous and the population more
contented than there is any sound
reason to hope, this law, like the
Mckinley law in 1892, will be made
powerful engine to turn the Repub-
licans out. This may not succeed,
but at least there will he continuance
for four years of the tariff agitation
and uncertainty, which are more
hurtful to business than the highest
tariff or extreme free trade, if adopt
ed as fixed and lasting policy. This
agitation will be serious obstacle
to the union of honest and iutelli-
gent men of both parties upon legis-
lation for currency reform, which is
the most vital need of the hour.
