Costs taxed up amounting to
SI4.5I to collect a TAX Of sI.6s, all
because of an old cumbersome
piece of legislation that ought to
be wiped OFF the statute books the
quickest way possible, Yes. but,
says one, a man ought to pay his
taxes. True enough, and the
state should never lose her lien for
taxes. The tax lien should be
perpetual. Not as it is now, out
lawed if not enforced within five
years. As the law now is it ope-
rates 10 many cases as simply le-
galized robbery. Change this
law. Make the lien perpetual and
let nc fees be paid except to the
treasurer ond the publisher who
prints the delinquent list.

We trust our Legislature will put
our sample peddlers on the same
footing as other peddlers. We
mean the peddlers who tramp from
house to house and peddle goods by
sample on the installment plan.
We believe heart and soul IN pro-
lection. If these fellows waat to
sell goods in our town make Them
pay a lieense-tax for the privilege
like any other common peddler. or
quit business. A few years ago a
friend Of ours bought a clock from
one Of these sample men TO be paid
Tor one dollar cash and one dollar a
month for six months, making seven
dollars for the clock. The writer
bought the same kind Of a clock of
one Of our city jewellers for three
dollars, guaranteed 10 keep good

The largest gains in the Repudli-

c~irculates the most. A constant

unadulterated practical truth well

Cotton Market.

In last weeks issue we stated
that the cotton yield for this
parish was about three-fourths
of last year. We have since
learned from what we believe is
an authOritive source, that
2O,879 bales. not counting weight,
were ginred in Lafayette parish
up to Dec. 13. The government
report for last year shows
2O,472 five hundred pound bales
as the number ginned in this
parish. According to the above
figures the crop was fully 400
bales greater than last year.
The information upon which
was first statement was made
of a reliable character, and the
only way the two can be recon
ciled is upon the suppositiOn
that the gins must have received
cotton from without the parish,
Or that the parties giving US in
formation in the first instance
meant that the yield per acre
was three fOurths that of last
year. This is probably more
correct, as there was a consid.
cradle increase in acreage, prob.
ably enough to make the differ
ence in figures even with a
three.quarter yield per acre
crop.
Below we give prices for
cotton for Monday and
yesterday at the Lafayette Com
press and New Orleans. The
