A RAILROAD PRESIDENT.
Expresses His Views on Exemp.
ton of Railroads from Tax.
alton for q Number of
Years.

William Edenborn, President
of the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company and Shreve-
port and Red River Valley, gave
Out an interview in New Orleans
in which he expressed himself
with regard to the proposed tax
exemption on new lines of rail
road.
Railroad building in Louis
lana is no child's play" said MIR.
Edenborn. "The State is cut up
with swamp land between here
and Baton Rouge. We have
adopted a route which even the
Frisco fought shy of, preferring
a trackage arrangement with
another road rather than attempt
to build a line there. Other
parts of the State present the
same difficulties. This Is shown
by the fact that this State has
not the network of roads which
is found in other States of no
greater traffic possibilities. Rail-
road managers were not falling
over each other to build lines
here. When the tax-exemptiOn
clause was adopted. railroads
were built, for it was some in.
ducement to railroads. which
might be put to heavy expense
in constructing lines in Louis
lana, to know that they would be
exempted from taxation until
they could have got well on their
feet"
It Was General Manager
Ellerbe of the same road who
stated several days ago that, if
the amendment became a law
the Shreveport and Red River
Valley would Immediately begin
construction between Baton
Rouge and New Orleans.

An Important Opinion.

Atty.-Gen. Williams has received
a letter from the board of supervis-
ors of Benton county inquiring as
to the validity of a contract made
by the board with the county super
intendent of education last January
fer a period of four years. The leg
islature at its recent session in
creased the salaries of county super
intcndents by fixing new maximums
to be paid, and the board now de-
sires to know if the county superin-
tendent can be held to a contract at
the salary of $50 per month. The
attorney general has written a some
what lengthy reply, in which he
holds that the contract is nullity:
that if an amendment to the law
gives the county superintendent
more than he is now being paid by
the board, he is justly entitled to the
increase. The opinion is of much
importance, as quite number Of
county superintendent will have
their salaries affected thereby.

Here is actual experience again to

pays About seven months since the

to procure more advantageous terms
to the shipper. The Union also bought
seeds and fertilizer in quantities,

and reducing the freight to car load
rates. Success has attended the first
year Of the Union, and it will be great
ly strengthened next season. A report
Just made shows that twenty-one solid
cars of truck have been shipped, and
the net proceeds to the community
was little over $4,000. Work at the
packing-house employed sometimes as
high as eighty or ninety people, and
others besides the truckers were given
employment The truck shipped was
radishes, potatoes, lettuce, cucumbers,
string beans, squash, green onions,
caulifower, carrots, cabbage and
beets. The success attending the eff
forts Of the people Of Bay st. Louis
will no doubt have the effect Of en-
couraging others to engage in the
business. Mississippi ought to furnish
a large per cent of the vegetables used
in the United States, and after few
