1T MEANS A BIG
PAY ROLL
Cheap Fuel and Water Means
More Manufactures With
Big Pay Rolls.

q. B. McGruder, general agent
of the Fort Worth and Denver
City Railway Company and the
Colorado and Southern Railway
Company, was in Shreveport a
few hours Saturday, being en-
route to his headquarters in New
Orleans a ter a business trip in
North Dakota.
shreveport has splendid
drawing card" he said.. ''The
presence of natural gas here
means increased capital; it means
a much larger pay roll. 1t will
draw factories and wage earn ers.
Not like the farmers, who will
put practically all of their money
in stock or more land, the wage
Garner, the factory employe will
come to the city and spend their
money. Each merchant and bus
mess man will get some of his
salary.
"Why, look at Birmingham.
That's about the finest city in the
South today, and il's duo to
Birmingham 5 immense pay roll.
Natural gas is going to mean Il
similar development here in
Shreveport. Shreveport Times.
What is said of Shreveport can
be said of Winfield. If we
could only get together and make
an effort. Natural gas within a
short distance, not exceeding two
miles and a half, it could, at a
small expense, be plped to Winn-
field, and when once we could GO
to.a gas main brought from Cedar
Greek and light it and exhibit it
to the world, there is no telling
where our development would
stop. 1t would indeed be a draw
ing card and one that could not
be beaten. .'It means big pay
roll" 1t takes that to make a
town-manufactories that have a
big pay roll. With cheap fuel
there is nothing to keep Winn-
field from being one of the finest
cities in the South.
We are destined to be railway
center of no small proportion.
Give a town cheap fuel. water
and plenty of railway facilties
and the capital and population
will come of its own accord.

Assessors and Assessments.

In days of yore it was q very
popular idea that no question was
ever settled until il was settled
right. 1t is to be hoped this prin-
ciple will apply to the assessment
and taxation problem that is now
agitating the people of Louisiana.
But the more we argue the ques-
ton the farther are we from a
conclusion.
We may reason along to the
incontrovertabIe fact that all
property should be assessed at its
cash value, and the tax rates be
fixed in accordance with that
value and the necessities of gov
ernment economically admins
tered, yet on the threshold of the
breaking day we are met by the
shadow of inevitably increased
taxes, aud are plunged into deep
er darkness.
Here we are confronted in the
most startling manner by the
danger that lies in the supreme
and. unrestrained power of the as
SCISSORS. Each one of them is a
law unto himself in the fixing of
assessment values up to the cash
value of property, at which point
the courts may intervene. What
if every assessor in the State were
without political aspirations or
other considerations for public
sentiment. and all of them were
to resolve to assess all property
at its actual value? The result
would be revolutionary.
Here is a body of men who are

orary president; J. j. Weinfurter.

president; I'll. G. Ramos, secre
tary and treasurer; Toby Hart,
superintendent. 1t is announced
that these commissioners will
volunteer their services to assist
in raising funds to complete the
amount required to erect a
becoming monument to Gen.
Beauregard, Lonisiana's greatest
soldier, also one of the South's s
illustrious cheiftains who will be
forever famous for having gained
the battle of Manassas, the first
great victory of the war and the
hero of many other achievements.
Gen. Beauregard was "a descend
ant of the most distinguished of
the colonial stock OF Louisiana
and he typifed the Creole race in
all its chiyalry and martial
attributes. 1t is a standing re-
proach upon the State that this
monument, which ought to be
one of the greatest objects of
interest, has not yet been erected.
Il should be made the grander
because OF the delay.-The

No taxpayer who has paid his

Delinquent taxpayers have
