Advantages OF Rice Elevators.

It's reported that Jennings is to
have a rice elevator this season which
will handle rice as corn and wheat are
handled in the north. If rice can be
handled successfully in this way, it will
mean a great saving to the producer
A saving in which the cost of the sacks
will be but a part. 1t will mean that
the wagon will be backed to the grain
spout of the thresher and loaded by
the machine, thereby saving the eX-
pense of two sackers, two sack sewers,
two draggers and pliers and extra Ia
Dor when it comes to loading the rice
onto wagons, nor does it end here;
instead of the hard labor now required
to unload and pile sacks at the ware
house, all that will be necessary to do
will be to drive onto the dump scale
and dump the load, the machinery ell
evating it to the desired bins. This
process of handling rice will save at
least twenty cents per sack in the eX-
pense of caring for same. 1t is to be
hoped that the rice elevator will prove
a success.

Negro Fined In Mayors Court for
Using Pr8fane Language.

Agent Tubbs made complaint Satur-
day against q negro for using profane
language around the passenger depot.
The offender after refusing to plead
guilty, declaring that the burden of
proof rested with the prosecution, was
convicted on the evidence of Mr., Tubbs
and assessed two dollars.
This is move in the r.9nt direction,
and we hope Mr. Tu5b5 VIII continue
the good work uL.,l the practice of
cursing around the depot will have
been broken uD. AS it is. the profani-
ity that is INDUCED in about the sta.
tion is disgusting aud reprehensible
in the extreme. And in this instance
the negroes are by no means the worst
white boys from the age
of eight to twenty years are in the
habit of cursing around the depot I'D.
til it is very offensive, not only to la
dies, but to gentlemen as we'll. Mr..
Tubbs has undoubtedly started good
move and we trust he will not lose
heart until be has rooted out this evil
from the depot grounds at least.

rice was sold at auction. The bidding

The Tax Collectors Fees.

While the Hunsicker bill to reduce
the fees of tax collectors on all COL
lections after the first 100000 fell a
victim to the prowess Of the allied tax
eaters of Orleans and other parishes,
1t started an agitation which is bound
to result finally in the abolutlon of
this excessive compensation. Several
newspapers in the state have taken up
the battle and the legislature two
years hence will probably correct the
mistake made by the present legisla-
ture.
The interest that Calcasieu has in
this evil is easily shown. For each
100000 of taxes collected, the collect
now gets $1,000. Mr.. Hunsicker's
proposition was to reduce the fee to
81, 600 per $4,000 after the first 500,
600. With $780, paid in taxes in
Calcasieu, this law would save the
tax payers ST., 900 a year and still
leaves the collector a generous com
penSation.
Upon the subject of the Hunsicker
law the New Orleans Times Democrat
said yesterday:
An attempt made at the late session
OF the Louisiana legislature to secure
a reduction in the cost of collecting
the states revenues failed. The prop.
osition was good one and should
have been adopted as it meant the say
ing OF thousands of dollars annually
to the state: but the tax collectors who
got big fees, were too strong political
ly for the proposed reform, and the
conditions in the legislature, the con-
fasion over the appropriation bill, the
political complications that arose,
gave them splendid opportunities to
stitie and kill the bill. They even per-
suaded some of the sheritTs and tax
collectors Of the smaller parishes that
Their fees would be cut down if the pro-
posed law passed, whereas it applied
only to the big parishes, Orleans,
Calcasieu, Caddo and few others.
There were no arguments advanced
III favor of the present system of pay
ING more for the collection of the state
taxes than is necessary and more than
is paid for the collection Of the city
taxes, which are so much larger, be-
cause there were none to present.
That the system can be maintained
permanently no one believes, and the
people can count confidently Oh relief
from this expense at the next session.
In view of the large number of import
ant questions before the legislature,
no measure of minor Importance like
that of the cost of collecting taxes
could receive the attention it deserved.
Now, however, that it has been
presented, the issue can and should
be discussed before the people in the
next campaign, so that the city and
parishes will send to the legislature
men who will see to reformation of
the fee system, in the interest of the
state as against the interest of the
politicians. That a change will be
made when the question is properly
discussed, no one can doubt. We
have made great progress in the last
twenty years in getting rid of the
worst abuses of the fee system and the
immense profits formerly fenioyed by
certain favored officials have been
scaled down. The tax collectors have
been almost the only officials who
have escaped this reform. 1t will be
their turn next time.-Lake Charles
Daily American.

WOMAN CAUSES
LAWYER 5 ARREST
SUB0RNATI0N OF PERJURY IS
THE CHARGE
Judge c. B. Ladd Said to Have ln-
dueed an EmpIoye to Swear
Falsely in Recent De
Vorce Case

Judge G. 3. Ladd, better known as
"Habeas Corpus Ladd because of his
many victories in handling superior
court cases where the habeas corpus
was necessary, was arrested yesterday
by Constable De La Monte on a felony
warrant sworn out against him by Mrs.
Mable F. Converse, who accused the
old attorney of having instructed one
OF the witnesses in recent divorce
case to perjure himself
The troubles of Judge Ladd have be-
come frequent of late, and, although
he has retired from active life as an
attorney, he has been unable to avoid
the recent allegations.
Several weeks ago information was
filed with the Los Angeles County Bar
association by Judge Gibbs of depart
ment 2 of the superior court who called
the attention of the officers of the as
sociation to the fact that there had
been serious mistake made in a case
where Ladd had acted as administrator
of an estate. The association took the
case under advisement, but before it
could be examined into Judge Ladd re-
tired to his ranch and gave UP active
service as an attorney.
AS to the Converse Case
onOTlly pIlOT " lHdI time, however,
he had acted as consul for Mrs. Mabel
Converse in her suit for divorce before
Judge Trask of the superior court
Converse Is an Cmploye Of a local
rolling mill establishment and his wife
alleged non-support. During the trial
a young man employed by Ladd was
present in court and was sent to the
stand to corroborate under oath the
statement by Ladd that personal SER
Io1 ftN tn,
other words that the husband had been
personally interviewed and a copy of
the wlfes complaint handed to him,
and that thereafter the husband fail
ing to file answer default had been
regularly entered
On the testimony and on the assur-
ance of attorney and witness the
woman was granted the decree of di-
vorce.
Since his retirement to his farm Ladd
has filed several suits to collect debts
for attorneys fees, and one was a suit
against Mrs Converse for $50 for secur-
ing her the coveted decree of divorce.
swears to Complaint
Mrs. Converse denied owing the
money, and later, according to her al
legations, she learned that personal
service had not been secured upon her
husband and that her husband does not
yet known that he is a divorced man.
Yesterday the woman appeared be-
fore Deputy District Attorney Keyes
and filed complaint against Attorney
Ladd, accusing him of subornation of
perjury. The woman alleged that Ladd
had instructed his clerk to swear that
personal service had been secured. AS
a result the divorce cannot hold good
and the trial will have to be repeated,
if the charge against Ladd can be sus-
tanned.
Judge Ladd accompanied Constable
De La Monte to Los Angeles yesterday
and was arraigned before Justice Young
of the township court and his bail fixed
at $1,000 He was allowed the privilege
of going in search of bail, and, accom-
panied by an officer, the attorney be-
gan to look up some of his friends to
stand surety for him. Bail was fur
nished late in the afternoon.
