THE PENSION APPROPRIATION.


In 1861, Louisiana formally
!, withdrew from the Union ant
claimed Of right to be "A free and in.
dependent State. Soon after this
she entered into the compact of the
Confederate States of America,
for veal or woe, and called upon
her male population to enlist in de-
Tense of her action.
From the beginning to the close
OF the four years ensuing, from
nifty to sixty thousand of her pa
trlOts battled to uphold the cause
OF the Confederacy and the honor
and glory of the State, from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. In
every State where the clash of arms
resounded, Louisianians fought
and fell, and they were always ac-
counted among the bravest.
For long period, the survivors
OF these uneXcelled troops expected
nothing from the State, which they
had helped to rescue in after years
from conditions worse than war.
When observation-disclosures and return
ing prosperity had come, want and
lnilrmltles began to assaii many of
the old itCrocS and their willows
and, It is with sorrow that we saw
1t, 800, coo "A year was set apart to
meet these increasing necessities,
the plttance allowable beingcoupled
with the most humiliating condi-
tons and sworn declarations.
This manlfestly inadequate
amount WAS increased to $75 900 |
after a lapse of years and finally |
tho Legislature in 1904 submitted
a constitutional amendment to en-
power the Legislature to increase
the appropriation to $150,00O The
number of the needy has steadily
increased and stacks of applica-
tons from meritorious old veterans
and widows of Veterans, are held
in suspense by the Pension Board
for want of funds to give some help
to these applicants and increase
the beggarly pittances that the
pensioners have been receiving.
Our sister State of Mississippi
which is far less able than Louis
lana to provide pensions, appro-
PIRATES $3.50, 900 per annum.
What more need be said than the
increase to $150,OOO, for which
"a, 755 votes were cast against only
4 1923 in the negative, should be en-.
tered upon the appropriation bill
before single dollar is allowed to
the many more or less justiiable
claims for State contributions.
The pension appropriation is
sacred debt of honor, as is also the
erection of markers and monu-
ments on the battlefelds to COM
memorate the valor Of the braves
who fell in conservation of Louis
ana's everlasting fame. Both are
recognized IN the Constitution
among the purposes for which the
taxation shall provide. Long since,
specified portion of the six mills
TAX should have been set apart to
meet these sacred obliga-
lions, jest as should always be done
10 pay the interest on the public
debt and provide for it's gradual
liquidation; to maintain the levees
the public schools and the State in
stitutions; and all legitimate ne
of the government.
With an equitable and sensible
system of assessment and taxation
aud the looping off of wasteful and
needless public expenditures, all of
these obligations can be amply pro-
vided for and taxation be material
ly reduced. Gen. JaStremski in
The People.

HAVANA. Cuba. Jan. 6.-"Down with

the outburst of yellow fever which SO

The work done by the sanitary au-

was prevented from spreading does not
necessarily mean that Cuba is forever
free from Yellow Jack.
Judging by present conditions Cuba IL

was during the Spanish regime. is not as
good as IL became under the American
