LOUISIANA RACE RIOT.

Fourteen Reported to Have Been Killed
III lsall Town.
New Orleans, Oct. 29.-The Plea
yune's Amite City special says:
Three white men ana eleven ne
groes killed is the startling news
from Washington parish last night.
our correspondent has just conversed
with man from Franklinton and
he confirmed the above information,
but he knew nothing of what has hap
pened since yesterday evening. The
first news of the race riot was
brought here by Cornelius Nixon,
who, with his mother, left from near
Franklinton this morning. He stated
that white men rode into Franlilinton
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning asking
for help, saying that the negroes
were up in arms threatening to ex-
terminate the whites. The scene Of
the trouble is at or near Ball Town,
where a negro was burned last week
fortcriminally assaulting white wo-
man. This was not the cause, how
ever, of the murders yesterday in
which three white men and eleven
negroes were killed and several
wounded. Mr.. Nixon saw and talked
with many men from the scene and
they said more and worse trouble
was expected today, as armed men
were foclling to the scene, and it
was reported the blacks were equally
active in preparing for battle.

State Dairy Commissioner Norton,
after threatening repeatedly to take
measures to compel the delinquent
milk dealers in Des Moines to paw
the annual license fee of 81 required
by the code, has resorted to more
vigorous measures. r. IL. Butlin, a
grocer. was one of the dealers who
did not pay his license as required
by and it is alleged refused to pay it,
The state dairy commissioner filed
information against Butlin in JUS
tice Duncan's court. charging him
with violation of the law requiring
the payment of the license fee. Sat-
urday Butlin appeared at the office of
the dairy commissioner at the state
house and paid the fee of 81, after
expressing in vigorous terms his feel
ings on the subject. The dairy COM
missioner would listen to no terms
but payment of the fee. and when
it was paid requested Duncan to dis
miss the proceedings on payment by
Butlin of the cost of the prosecution.
The action against Butlin has result
ed in several delinquents paying up
according to law. Other prosecutions
are likely to be brought.

Chicago every year has a fight to get its rich men to pay their due propor- ton of the taxes. There Is not large city in the country where the assess ment books are zot a scandalous out rage on truth and justice. Rich men wonder how there can be so much pov- erty in a world that is so new and that teens with such an abundance of wealth. Yet each year, it seems, in in ereasing proportion, the expenses of government fall upon those modestly
 disposed in this worlds goods, while men who count their wealth in millions
 let gold hush their consciences when
 they make personal property returns.
 It Is problem that other cities besides
 Chicago should tackle. It is one that
 the rich themselves should be first in
 attempting to solve. And this as much
 on their own account as for the coun-
 try's, for the question must be met
 Human nature has not changed. It is
 only longer suffering. but when pa

 Dives to remember that the man who
 shirks his just share of the burden of
 government expense generally is ac- counted little short of a traitor.
