Democrats, receiving word
this evening that Gov. Folk
would arrive here at IL o'clock
on his return from fishing AT
Puxico, hastily drummed up
a crowd by means OF the nor
NAL school student band.
The fish commission car, on
which the governor travels,
stopped directly in front oi
two saloons aud the crowd
gathered around the car aud
demanded u speech.
The governor replied with
a half hour address, which
dealt almost entirely with his
demand for an excise commits
sion from the special session
of the legislature. He stated
that the last session accom-
plished many good laws, but
that others were needed. The
regulation OF public utilities
corporations was mentioned
and then the excise law was
broached. When such a law
was considered At the last
session the cry II home rule
was raised. The governor

traction trinity at the expense of

habltatlon tax based on rental val
ues would divert taxation from the
landlord TO the tenant. To tax
savings bank deposits would pun
ish individual thrift.
'lf personal property taxes are
not to be collected, better abolish
them and obviate the perjury they
breed.
In the mean time might it not be
advisable to divert This ingenuity
from new forms of taxation to an
energetic effort first to make the
public service corporations pay
the $50, O00,0 900 of back taxes
which they owe, and hence forth
to assess every public franchise at
its full value aud all the holdings
of the Aslors, Goelets, Trinity
Corporation aud the other great
landlords of New York at their
full value and then pay their
taxes in like manner with little tax
payers'

wage earnings when every just
penny has been exacted from those
whose riches have not come from

SCHOOL BOARD PROCEEDINGS.

NEW IBERIA. la, June l4th, 1907.
The School Board met this day in call
session with the following members pres
ent: DR.. |. Z. Rand, l.. o. Hacker, w. II.
Farmer, c. A. Poirson, Fred Decourt, o.
Br6ussard, T.. Arceneaux. A. Deigre, and
A, B. Murray. Those absent were: Ed
ward Leblanc and Or. J. G. Bouvier.
After the call had been stated, Mr.. II.
II. Winters was introduced to the Board.
He requested the use of the High School
hall to give musical Entertainment
for the benefit of the NJ. f. Church On
motion of A. B. Murray, duly seconded
and carried, the request was granted.
Mr.. Dupuy said to the Board that an
error had been made in the settlement for
the Dupuy property.
On motion Of A. B. Murray, duly sec
onded and carried, the President was in
structe to pay balance due on this settle
ment. less the amount now due on the
sidewalk, provided certificate be fur
nished him from the Iberia Building Asso-
citation showing the correct amount, same
to be charged TO 9th District.
The following recommendations offered
by the Superintendent were adopted:
a. That the salaries of ell first grade
teachers be fixed at fifty dollars and
more. according to ability and successful
experience; all second grade teachers at
forty-five dollars a month; and all third
grade teachers at forty dollars a month,
Bv doing this you will go along ways to
wards eliminating the third grade teacher
from your schools, and you will offer a
iust recognition to those who are taking
advantage of the Summer Schools now in
session throughout the State TO increase
their scholarship and professional train
ing.
II is only business like to employ such
methods as will operate with equal fair
ness TO all. and at the same time prove
an incentive,
(2) That the date of opening the
schools be fixed for the first Monday IN
September, and that all teachers EN-
ployed be given written contracts for nine
months. The work as outlined in the
course OF study cannot be done in less
time, aud to attempt it will result in low
ering the standard of the Schools.
Some Schools in the Parish ought TO be
opened at later date than the one men
toned on account of some of the children
attending these schools being required to
help in harvesting the crop. These
Schools could run on after the others had
closed, thus giving the children the priyi-
leges of the entire session.
The list Of teachers will be published
next week.

New Iberia and entering New
Orleans between the Texas &
Pacific and the Southern Pacific
from New iberia. This new
line crosses the Watkins and

This is the same place that

which was stated unofficially in

the place where the Leesville-

While it is not official; still it
is learned upon what can be
stated as the best OF authority,
says the Beaumont Journal, the
leading paper of that city, that
the Kansas City Southern will
not have to do much building
in order to get from Leesville
to Eunice, La, in the construc-
ton of the line from the former
place to New Orleans.
1t begins to look as if the
Pickering Lumber Company
was giving the Kansas City
Southern an opening in the way
of first class neuclus FOR this
line by building from Leesvile
through Eunice to Crowley of
the LeesvIIe Eastern and West
ern railroad. The work OF con
struction on this road is being
rapidly pushed and it is expect
ed that within a very few weeks
it will be constructed into Eu-
nice and the work carried on
past that place to a point on the
main line of the Southern Paci-
hc, presumably Crowley,
The line is being built in the
very best manner possible. The
roadbed is of the best character
while IS pound steel is being
used. This character of steel
will be sufficient for the use of
the branch line to New Orleans
at first and it will be an easy
matter for the railroad company |
to replace it with heavier steel
whenever the tonnage of the
road becomes sufficiently heavy
to warrant such change.
The grade secured for the line
all the way from Leesville to
Euniee is said to be the very
owest possible. 1t is being
built in such a manner that it
will have no trouble in passing
through Crowley or very close

New Orleans, June IS.-Mr,
]. ]. Burdln, representing the
commercial interests of St.
Martinville which are deeply in
terested in the movement to
improve Bayou Teche and TO
open a direct water route from
that place to New Orleans by
way Of Bayou Black, Bayou
Terrebonne and Company
Canal, had conference ysster
day with Major Quinn on the
subject.
Mr.. Burdin stated that one
of the great obstacles to the pro-
Jet was the lack of interest of
the people of Houma. 1t APP
peared that the business men of
that place failed to take advan-
tage of the opportunity to Sc
cure a direct waterway to New
Orleans. One reason why this
new way should be opened to
traffic was said to be because the
railroads were unable to expedite
shipments.

New iberia will be largely
represented at the opening of
the Sanders campaign at Nor
gan City on Thursday. of next
week. 1t looks much now as
if about 100 persons will take
the trip with band and flying
colors.
There has been much interest
here in the opening of the cam
paign and some Of the admirers
of the Lieutenent Governor
have had in mind the project of
visiting the opening at Morgan
City in large force. This has
now assumed definite shape and
already it is apparent that the
New iberia delegation to the
celebration will be one of
the largest that has ever gone
out of the city on a similar er
rand.
The delegation will probably
be badged and tagged and will
carry a banner and will march
from the train with its own
band to add to the enthusiasm
OF the occasion. 1t will leave
here on the noon train going
east and will return on the late
evening flyer. Meantime there
will be plenty doing at Morgan
