Reform In Tax Collection.

Times Democrat.
Col. Frank P. Stubs of Mon
roe has issued an address urging
that an extra session of the Leg
islature be called at once to take
the preliminary steps toward
reducing the compensation of
State tax collectors. He draws
attention to the fact that it will be
necessary to amend certain con-
stitutional provisions, which
must be substituted to the voters
for approval. By converting the
Legislature in early extra ses-
sion these changes could be made
in time for submission and ratifi-
cation at the general election in
April. If the matter be delayed
till the regular session. the Off
GERS elected under the present
system will draw their present
emOluments for another full
term. The Legislature has no
authority to cut off constitutional
ofice-holders, or to change the
methods of compensation, during
their tenure.
The proposal of the gentleman
from Monroe, it strikes US, is
both timely and excellent. The
fact that the State tax collectors.

SANDERS ISSUES
PROCLAMATION,

Lieutenant Governor Sanders, who
is acting governor during Gov.
Blanchard absence from the State,
Yesterday issued a proclamation de-
signaling two additional subjects for
consideration ,by the extraordinary
session of the legislature called by
Gov. Blanchard TO meet Nov. IL.
One is to give the Railroad Commission
more power and the other is to debar
foreign corporations from doing bus
mess in this State, that shall sue the
State or citizens of the State in any
other court than a State court.

system. are drawing pay out of
all proportion to their services
is universally recognized. The
demand for greater economy
and a radical change of the pres
ent system has been so ~insistent
that most of the candidates for
political office have agreed to it,
and this includes many of the
present tax collectors and sher-
ifs who are candidates for reel
ection. In New Orleans there is
the further demand that the dis
trict cOllectOrshipS be cOnsOll-
dated. There is also an over
whelming popular sentiment fav-
oring the placing of certain
other State offices now paid by
the fee system upon a straight
salary basis. Each of these re-
forms is so strongly backed by
the voters and taxpayers as to
leave no doubt that they will be
approved whenever submitted.
By the early submission pro
posed, the reforms can be effect
ed promptly, and the saving to
the State will be vastly greater
than the cost of the extra SEES
sion, if, as Col. Stubs believes,
the new officers can be bound by
the provision. The matter may
thus be finally and effectively
disposed of. With the people in
their present temper, no poltl-
clan will dare to oppose immedl-
ate reform. There will be no
possible way to muddle or con-
fuse the issue, or to load it with
"iokers." as would very likely be
done at a regular Legislative SEES
sion. That the politicians de-
sire for reform is much strong
er before his election than after
he is seated in Office is automatic.
Post-election performances rare
ly, if ever, measure up to ante
election promises, as the people
in every State have learned to
their cost. 1t may be taken for
granted that only the most press
ing political exigencies have
forced the professional office
holders and politicians to acquisce
in the popular desire for reform
in the tax collectorships. The
exigencies will be met by their
election to Office and their burn
ing desire for reform will be
straightway placed in cold stor-
age. In general session, with a
host of issues and an abundance
of wires to pull, there are plenty
of ways to delay or to emas-
culate the measure proposed, as
your skillful political worker is
we'll aware.
It is undeniably wisest to
strike while the iron is hot, and
Col. Stubs has pointed the way.
There are one or two other mat
tiers in need Of immediate legis-
lative attention. not the least of
which is the popular demand for
a thorough investigation OF port
charges at New Orleans. Col.
Stubs proposition, which is
strongly put and admirably ar
gued, will meet with popular ap-
proval, and this newspaper does
not hesitate to second the call for
an early extra session OF the
State Legislature.

TREATY WITH SANTO DOMINGO
FINALLY APPROVED BY A
VOTE OF 43 TO 70.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The senate
at 11:36 o'clock p. m. in executive ses-
sion ratified the Santo Domingo
treaty, which provides for the assis-
lance of the United States in the col
lection and application of the GUS
toms revenues of the Dominican re.
public. The treaty was taken up at a
session beginning at 8:15 and the en-
tire time was devoted to opposition by
Democrats to the convention. The
vote was 43 to 10, which is one more
than the necessary two-thirds.
Senators Bacon, Daniel, Carmack
Culberson and Newlands criticised the
policy involved as extremely unwise
and as creating a precedent that may
prove dangerous to the country. Sena-
tor Bacon closed a long argument by
saying that he was weary of the whole
subject and glad to get rid of it. He
declared that the president for two
years had violated laws in that he

washington, Feb. 21.-The four
years. contest against Reed Smoot as
q senator Of the United States from

colleagues voted to sustain him as
against twenty-eight for the resolution
to unseat him. Added to this there
wore nine pairs, making the actual
standing on the resolution 81 to 81.
Although it was a foregone conclu-
sion that the resolution would fail and
thus end the long fight against the
Utah senator, the roll call contained
some surprises. OF the forty-two
votes in favor of Mr.. smoot three were
cast by Democrats. Blackburn, Clark

Chicago Mans Wife Said to Have
Been in Love With Artist.
Chicago. Feb. 23.-While raving In
her cell at the police station. Mrs.
Michael Mcdonald, who shot and
killed Webster 8. Guerin, an artist.
Thursday told the police enough to
lead them to the conclusion that it
was jealousy and not blackmail that
led her to take the life Of her alleged
clandestine lover. Made desperate by
Z report that Guerin was engaged to
marry a West Side society girl, the
police are of the opinion that she took
Guerin's life In revenge. Guerin's
love for another was a mistake, as it
was his brother who is to be married.
Mrs. Mcdonald is still in such con-
4ition that nothing of a definite char
actor regarding the tragedy can be
learned from her. Physicians in at
tendance say that she shows signs Of
Improvement and that they are of the
belief that in a few days she will
fully recover.
Until that time there is little likeli-
hood that the facts in the case as to
what led up to tho shooting will be
obtainable, as no one seems to have
had any knowledge Of love affair
which may have existed between Mrs.
Mcdonald and Guerin.
