GOOD CITIZENSHIP ASSERTING
ITSELF.

That the people of Louisiana
are alive to the real meaning of
the primary" is already shown
by the great number of citizens
who are nOw willing to enter
public life, as appears from the
long list of candidates for Office
in every section of the State.
This willingness to enter
public life, as distinguished from
purely political life. comes from
the laudable desire nurtured by
every normal American citizen
to do his part toward upholding
the government that is intended
for his protection.
The forbidding ways of boss
ISM" made possible by election
laws drafted in the interest of
professional politicians. have US
ually accomplished their purpose
of debarring open-minded and
we'll. meaning citizens from hold
ing public office; but the new
primary election law in Louis.
lana has destroyed the ability Of
the political bosses to dominate
the people by forcing on the pub
lie candidates manufactured to
order in star chamber proceed
ings, controlled by entronched
power.
It is gratifying to see that
Lafayette parish has also fallen
in line with the independent man
hood of other sections of the
State, and that good men from
among ourselves, actuated by a
sense of civic duty, are offering
their services to the puclic OF
their own accord and upon their
individual merits, and with no
other object than to work for the
progress and advancement OF
the parish. Such men have a
strong claim on their fellow citi-
zens and will no doubt receive
the support of the independent
and thoughtful voters in the par
ish by which their election will

The question of how to cure a cold

in which WI are all more or less inter-

have more traffic than they can
carry. Throughout the country
the banks are prosperous and
there is no fear AS to their solv-
ency, nor has there been the
slightest check to the output of
the manufacturing industries.
With such conditions the launch
ing of a financial panic is not an
easy task, because there is no
reason or excuse for it, and the
people aware of the fact decline
to be alarmed by the antics of
Wall street.
1t has been quite well under
stood that some of the newSpa-
per organs of the street, in their
hatred of President Roosevelt,
would bring ruin on the country
in order to destroy his power.
This spirit accounts for the re-
cent publication of sensational
reports to the effect that war
with Japan is a matter only of a
few months. and that the navy of
the United States is so weak
that it cannot give efficient bat
tie. The people know this to be
nonsense, and go about their
business undisturbed by the
alarmiSt stories manufactured
solely for the purpose of trying
to block the Investigation of law
less corporations.
The truth is the country is all
right. 1t is sound, confident and
has no fear that it's prosperity
Can be shaken by the upheavals
planned by the Spectator of
Wall Street. The fact is obvious
that it has Outgrown the jobbery
and manipulations of the New
York stock market.

TAX COLLECTION
EXPENSE REFORM.
Colonel r. p. Stubs Issues Letter
to People of louisiana Showing
Only Way IN Which 1t Can
Be Accomplished.
Wants Extra Session of Legislature
Called Without Delay.
To Submit Constitutional Amend
meut TO the PeObie on Date of
the Democratic Primary.

ANCN
Monroe, La, Oct 22.-Colonel
Frank P. Stubbs, Sr., to-day
issued the following address to
the people of Louisiana:
From the universal expression
of the candidates of all grades in
their resolutions and platforms
it is evident that a serious reform
in the collection of public rev.
enues should be made in our
system. 1t is conceded byall that
Louisiana has too many tax col
lectors, and that she pays an un-
reasonable compensation to those
who are Entrusted with the col
lection of the taxes. 1t is per-
fectly clear that the general de-
sire is to reform this condition of
things at the carliestOpportuuity
For a great many years our tax
collectors as a rule have Deen
paid more than their just portion
for the services rendered, and
our system has built up an official
class who have intrenched them
selves in Office by virtue of their
excessive revenue at the expense
of the public interest.
In the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1898 an effort was made
in the Judiciary Committee hav-
ing charge of this subject to pre-
vent this condition of things.
Early after the meeting of the
Judiciary Committee a member
of the said committee offered a
resolution among other things
rendering tax collectors and
other officers intrusted with the
collection, disbursement and
custody of the public funds in
eligible for reelection or reap
pointment. The necessity of
such action was explained to the
Committee and a resolution was
adopted unanimously within a
few days. However, as a result
of a most mysterious influence, a
convention of those interested in
defeat of this reform was had in
New Orleans, and when the time
arrived for the framing of the or
dinance adopted by the Com
mittee, instead of a unanimous
vote of twenty-five in favor, the
resolution was emasculated and
only tire members of the Com.
mittee voted for the same.
Finally the present system was
adopted, and by Article 800 of
the Constitution seven tax col
lectors were provided for in the
city of New Orleans. eliminating
the provision provided for in the
original resolution. All officers
except the Governor and State
Treasurer were permitted to
succeed themselves. and by Ar
ticle 12O sheriffs we're provided
with their munificient compen-
satlon at the public expense.
1t is a well known fact that in
many of the parishes the com
pensation for tax collectors is
largely in excess of fair remun-

Grafton, and furnishes the means
of perpetuating the individual in
office at the expense Of the tax
payers. 1t is a well-knOwn
fact that no tax collector or
officer intruSted With the cOllec-
ton or disbursement of public
funds in Louisiana has ever been
short in his accounts during his
first term of office, but intrench-
ed in Office by swollen emOlu-
ments of his place, he is enabled
to perfect his hold on the Office
and indulge his taX-paying
friends but too often to the
detriment of the officer himself.
From the universal expression of
opinion I assume that the people
of Louisiana seriously intend to
inaugurate reforms of our sys-
tenn of the collections and dis
bursements of public funds. II
the people are in earnest they
have but little time in which to
accomplish this great result.
Sheritfs and tax collectors in
New Orleans are constitutional
officers. Their compensation is
provided for. and cannot be
changed during the term to
which they IRE respectively
elected or appointed.
Therefore, no matter how
strongly the people and the can
didates may be in favor of these
reforms, it is expecting too much
of human nature for us to as
sumo that any one, after election
to their public trusts, will give
up such princely cOmpensations
or yield their right to their COM
penSations affixed to the Office
they hold. If we wait until after
the election, the present con-
dition of things, with all of it's
evils, will be fastened upon the
people for another term of four
years. and by no possible legal
means can reforms be obtained.
Now, then. assuming that the
people are in earnest and desire
to emancipate themselves from
the extravagances and evils com
planned of, it is absolutely neces-
sary that the Constitution should
be changed. and that with great
prOmptness. If, indeed, the
people want the reform and the
candidates are honest in their
support, there is a simple way
by which it can be accomplished.
Let the people, as with one voice,
call upon the Governor. to con-
vene the present Legislature,
correct the present constitutional
provision now in our way, and
submit them to the people at the
general election on the 18th of
next January. All who take
office thereafter, or then, will be
bound by this provision. and the
reform, which every one claims
to be necessary in our revenue
system, will be accomplished.
If this is not done, then indeed
will the evils of which we all COM
plain not only be on us for four
more years, but in my opinion.
will be perpetuated in Louisiana
at the peoples expense. [ have
no other interest in this question
than that of a simple citizen de-
string no Office for Inc or mine,
but after many years of interest
in the political conditions of
Louisiana, l feel that | have a
to sound this note of warning TO
the people, that they may ap
preciate the situation and adopt
the remedy for their relief.
Respectfully yours,
FRANK. p. STUBBS.

The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana
Since our last issue a very
welcome change has occurred in
the weather, the tenn perature
falling considerably and bring
ing to South louisiana the lowest
temperature recorded at this
date in the season during the
past 80 years. It has also been
dry and cool weather, just what
the sugar planters wanted and
an optimistic feeling now exists
everywhere in the sugar district.
The sugar contents of the cane
has increased very rapidly under
the prevailing conditions and the
planters who were expecting to
begin their grinding with cane
entirely too green to show a prof
it now anticipate excellent re-
suits. The change of the wealth
er to higher temperature as we
go to press is not as assuring as
the cooler period has been but
the coming week will see a very
general inauguration of the
grinding season and from the
present outlook it ought to be a
successful and profitable one.
Wall Streets Abortive Panics.

III spite of all it's tricks and
villianies Wall street has failed
utterly to precipitate a financial
crash on the country. There
have been a series of stock panics
and now there is a big bank

tive doings of several captains of
high finance, but the country
remains serene and give little at

New York.

some of the money centers there
seems to be no lack of it in the
country at large, the farmers
have made good crops and are
sending them to market as fast
as they can, and the railroads

sorry that l could not have chance
to discuss IL with your citizens. F"
The one thing that will strike the
reader as particular silly and prepos-
ferrous In the letter Is where he says
"every cent OF the returns is being
re-expended In Idaho" After the
necessary red tape has been gone
through with and the vast army OF
useless forest reserve riders have
been supported how much money Is
left to be expended In Idaho "for
the benefit of the citizensY" VIII
sc me one please approximately give a
guess as to the portion Of the $50, 600
which the citizens OF this county are
taxed TO support the forest reserve
are re.expended to build roads and
trails. We venture the assertion
that the people OF this county-the
pioneers--haye built more roads and
trails In the past forty years than
would ever be expended out OF the
forest reserve tax In the next hum
dred years. The forest reserve policy
of President Roosevelt Is one Of the
most unjust and damnable policies
ever foisted upon free people.
II has come to stay, for time at
least, and the people might as well
accept the inevitable and make the
best Of II, so far as they can. The
only way the people can get rid OF
such an injustice, and damnable pol.

ministration; and get some man at
