Big Democratic Rally.

The enthusiastic crowd of stalwart

which filed the Court House to

made the Republicans a bit envious.
The meeting was called to order by
DIR. G.. J. Edwards, chairman of the
Parish Executive Committe, who
asked Fl. l.. Gueydan TO preside.
John Nugier, Jr., by request, acted
as secretary. A committee of five,
composed of Hons. Adrien Nunez
and Lastie Brousserd, and SEVERN
Leblanc, Felix O'NeiIl and Camille
Sellers, were appointed to escort
Hon. Robert T. Broussard to the
meeting. Splendid music was fur
nished by Professor Pate and his Alb
beviIle Band. Tony Muller, Dis
trict Attorney of Iberia, made the
first speech, and he was followed by
Congressman Broussard in English
and French. He made a telling adj
dress and was frequently interrupted
by long and loud applause, showing
that he was in quick sympathy with
his audience. The meeting was one

1t is rather significant that the
boss ridden wards of New Orleans,
where the unwashed hoodlum and
the beer bloated bum constitute the
stock in trade and political greatness
of the "boss," are those which gave
majorities for the poll tax repeal and
the Infamous judiciary amendments.
This gives the lie to the oft repeated
statement that the political bosses
favored the poll tax requirements of
the constitution of 1898.

IS THE WATER RENT
DUE?

dan vi the Gteydan news, lor al
vance proofs of al able article on the
question of water rent. Owing to
our limited space, we are unable to
present the article in full, but pub
llsh the following extracts which
contain the meat of the argument:
"Many farmers of this community
who took water from the canal COM
pany during the past season have
been 10th to pay said company the
fifth part of their crop as per written
contract, owing to the failure of said
company to furnish sufficient sweet
water to mature the crops. The
same conditions exist no doubt in
nearly all sections of the Louisiana
and Texas Race Belt. There are so
many pros and cons, both sides hav-
ing honest convictions on the subject
and the interests involved are so
great that the aid of the courts will
be invoked no doubt. The first
case submitted will pc followed with
much interest.
At first blush we were rather in
clined to take the farmers view, for
it does seem as il the farmer is giving
something for nothing, or at any rate
something tangible for a doubtful
service rendered. After carefully
weighing both sides Of the question,
however, and putting ourselves in
the place of each side alternately. it
is u opinion that the proportionate
fifth of the crop is due for water
rent. We only wish we could think
otherwise, for the canal companies
are better able to tide over this bad
season that the majority of the
farmers, many of whom will come
out 10 debt after working hard for a
whole wear.
Let us suppose q few cases:
1st. A very wet season. The
farmer needs net and takes none Of
the sweet water that the canal com
pany is willing and able to furnish,
and makes q good crop. We argue
that the canal company is entitled to
q full water rent. A tender has been
made.
3rd. A dry year. The farmer
needs water but does not take any,
owing to its being salty. He puts
down a deep well at his " ex-
pense, and makes q good crop. We
argue that experts would have to be
called in to estimate the probable
crop without the deep well water it
received, and that the canal company
would still be entitled 10 one-fifth of
this estimate.
We understand that there are
some alleged individual grievances,
where water was refused and discri-
mination practised. These cases
will have to be treated separately,
and here the lawyers will hold full
sway.
We have tried to treat this impor-
question impartially and TO
cover the general points. Our
columns are open both to the farmers
and to. the canal companies.
II were well for both parties to
settle this question once for all; the
would then know exactly
what to expect from a water con-
/.
