SHOULD SUGAR MILLS BE TAXED.

Should not sugar mills be
free from taxation, was a ques-
ton that was asked by the
Police Jury yesterday. The
question was forwarded to the
Attorney General for and an
swer and that officials conclusion
will be very interesting to the
industry in this part of The
state.
1t appears that under the law
certain of the industries are free
from taxation. These ex-
ample concerns are rice mills,
and lumber mills and the like
and it would appear that there
is no reason for taxing sugar
mills that use a home grown
product.
The idea evidently was it is
said, to encourage the location
of the various industries within
the boundaries of the state.
The sugar mill men think that
as they use home grown pro
ducts:they need as much en-
enlargement as do the Lumber
mills which also use a home
grown product.
1t is the opinion of the sugar
mill men that there should be
no distinction made between the
industries and that if taxation is
removed from them they may
be able cooperate more extern
sively' 1t is the opinion also
OF the sugar cane growers that
if it is decided that there are to
be no taxes on mills it will en-
courage the establishment of
other mills here and thus give
the growers better market for
their cane.

INSURANCE TOO HIGH.

One of the vital questions OF
the day in New Iberia is the in
surance rate. That it is all out
of proportion to the dangers of
losses is the unanimous opinion
OF the property owner, and it IS
becoming evident that there
must be a remedy in some
shape or form.
1t is known that as much as
sixty thousand dollars is sent
out of this CITY every year in
premiums, while the losses paid
by the companies do not aver
age more than $1,000.
The inference TO be drawn
from these figures is that local
concern could afford to charge
less and still roll up nice sur
plus. Besides the cash would
be kept at home.
If there is anything the in
surance companies do not like,
it is to lose business. There is
no fear that they would main
tain the present outrageous rates
if there were a possibility that
our men OF business would en-
ter into competition with
them. And yet that is what
will occur if the present rates
prevail.
1t was earned on good au-
thority that the rates charged in
big cities with less fire protec-
ton than here are not one half
or one-quarter as large as here.
For policy of $4,000 on a
frame dwelling in Brooklyn the
amount paid for a three-year
policy is only So. On the
same property here the rate
would be anywhere from 20 sto
40, according to location.
This is discrimination that
should not be borne by the
property owners of New iberia.
If necessary, the people of
means should form a COMPANY
here and give the citizens relief.
When insurance is larger than
it is time to call halt,
and the sooner the halt is called
the better off will property own
erS be.

DUAL. .................
These are the results of the
election held on Wednesday.
When the count was made, ii
was apparent that there had
been no opposition.
3 Vote after vote was tailed for
the propositions while those OPP
posed were so scattered that it
was a matter of doubt for some
time whether there had been
any. Some of the enthusiastic
who were at the count hoped that
there would not be single
vote found in opposition, but
the showing was so good when
the totals were made that every
one went home in a Jubllant
frame of mind.
MIR. c. c. Henshaw, presl-
dent of the Central Railroad of
Louisiana who had come from
New Orleans with his brother
Harold on the afternoon train

news OF the count was announced
and expressed himself as much

nishing of the money, and none
of the interested parties are in
the City, 1t is possible tina.
they are coming and will be
here on time, but the feeling in
all circles is that such will not
be the case.
1t was hoped that the plan as
outlined by Mr.. Augur might
be carried through and a Troll
ley line built here in the short
est time possible, but it is gen
orally understood that Mr.. Au-
CUR had given up hope before
he left on his latest trip to in
terest capital.
In any event, it is regarded
as certain that there will be a
Trolley line here in short time,
and it is stated that number of
local Tersonss stand ready to
back such an enterprise to the
extent OF their power.
General Myles, who at one
time tried to build Trolley
line here, was in our City
and when asked his opinion on
the matter said that he thought
that if a local company could
raise fifty thousand dollars the
line could be built in quick or
der. There is need for such a
line, he said, and if the fifty
thousand dollars were expended
in constructing a part of it, the
rest would be forthcoming
quickly from the sale of bonds.
1t is stated that there has
been quite some talk between
the merchants in regard to the
possibilities of raising the fifty
thousand dollars considered as
necessary, and at least twenty
men have signihed their willing
ness to take part of the stock
of a local company. One or
two of them have said that they
were willing to subscribe for
two thousand dollars each, and
others have said they were will
ling to take $1,000 in stock.
General F. F. Myles said
that if such company were
formed he would take some of
the stock, and others have been
named who have considered the
matter favolaely.
1t is the opinion that such
line as proposed would do
large business. If in existence
now, it would enjoy a large pat
ronage, and if extended in dit
ferent directions would make
this central point. 1t is not
long since Mr.. Jules Dreyfus
said that he believed such line
could be built with local capital,
the plan being to make of New

HALE PLANTERS
 TRY WHITE LABOR
Experiment With Foreigners Near Greensboro Is Being Watched
 With Unusual Interest.

Greensboro, February 16.-(Special) )-Dr- Downey and Mir Charley Rawls, brother of the famous Mrs Ella Rawls Reader, have discarded negro tenants on their plantations and substituted white tenants with most satisfactory results. MT. Rawls went to New York early in the fall for the purpose of bringing these tenants south. They are mostly Italians and Swedes with some Hungarians. They could not speak a word of English when they first came but have already picked up enough to make themselves understood and work well quickly, one pecullarlty about them being that they do not loll out the noon hour as the negro did but immediately upon finishing meal they go laughing back to the fields. This experiment of these successful farmers will be watched with a great deal or ln- terest by other planters for the labor question has become a serious one and the southern farmer will either have to have imported labor or a crop that can be produced with less manual labor than cotton
 Midshipman Harold Jones of the United States navy who has been visiting rela- tiyes in Greensboro, will leave Monday for San Antonio, Texas to visit his fath- CT, who Is spending the winter there. Young Jones has just graduated from the naval academy and is at home on visit awaiting orders for sea duty. He was the only Alabama boy fortunate enough to receive a diploma and his friends are proud of him. He made splendid record at the academy.
 Among other names being mentioned as probable candidates for the legislature are those of Graham eBnners, editor of the Beacon, and brother of Chancellor Ben ners of Birmingham; Edgar Elliott of Moundville and R. A. White of New berne All of these gentlemen are widely and favorably known and if elected would serve their constituents well.

Poole urges that as the time for plant ing draws near everything that will be needed for food be put in the ground. He points out that there is being shipped into the state every year meat and corn and this is a reflection on the shiftiness of the people who work the fields.
 He insists that there be an acreage re- duction in cotton and increase in food stuffs. He also thinks that there should be less working of poor lands turning them into pastures, and more development of the richer. Do not sell your cotton on a declining market says MT Poole.
