MR.. KEENE's PREDICTION.

New Orleans States: 1t seems that of
hcial Washington is discussing and is
somewat disturbed by a prediction re-
Gently made by James R. keene, the
Wall street millionaire broker and spec
ulator, who is an old friend of President
Roosevelt. 1t seems that when visiting
the White House few days ago he told
the President that the Republican party
is already doomed to defeat i'll the presi-
dental campaign next year.
According to the Washington corre-
spondent of the New York Sun. who
talked with Mr. Keene after the visit to
the Whit House, the great speculator
takes mrJ 4 interest in the outcome OF
presidential elections because of their eff
feet on the stock market and the great
stakes he has in it. Although Mr.. Keene
was an earnest Roosevelt man in 1904,
he is convinced now that the country
has been on stills for a number of
years" that wages and diving expenses
have been absurdly high; that the envi-
ronment of labor and capital have been
out of plumb, and that the real key TO the
situation by which the country is to re-
turn to the normal simple life of by
gone days is through a revision of the
tariff.
1t is safe to say that Speaker Cannon,
Congressman Dalzell and other eminent
standpatters will probably declare that
Mr. Keene is talking like bowling
ass" but whether his opinions or pre-
dictions are worth any more than those
of another man, the fact remains that
what he has said has attracted consider
able attention in Washinton. However,
there is one thing quite evident, and that
is, there will be no revision of the tariff
until the Republican party has suffered
such defeat as Mr.. keene predicted.

ferent roads for this meeting. These re-
ports will be the basis upon which the
assessments will be made. An increase
in the assessments of the roads larger
than last year is anticipated
On this Board is devolved the duty OF
equalizing assessments. 1t has been
claimed that the valuations of railroads
and other corporations have been toe
low Railroads and corporations must
be treated as individuals. If the prop
erty, of railroads or corporations has
been under-valued or increased beyond
reasonable bounds, it follows then thai
these should be given "a square deal.
There should be no discrimination or any
special recognition The railroads ano
other corporations must stand side b,
side with the individual in the reckon
ing of the valuation of property for as
sessment and taxation.

REFUSES TO ACCEPT, THE RE
SPONSIBILITY
For Dudenhefer's Flight-Expains All
His Acts and Feels He Has Acted for
the States Best Interests.

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says that Auditor Capdevielle on his re-
turn to the Capital Sunday afternoon
was interviewed and said:
AS a public officer and as citizen, |
deplore the loss which the State will suf-
fer by Dudenhefer's defalcation, and as
a public officer | never object to fair
criticism. There are certain matters,
however, which l deem it we'll to notice
and explain 1t has been stated that the
bondsmen of Dudenhefer had never been
officially notified. This is certainly er-
roneous, for Messrs. Emery and Norton,
the agents of the Guarantee Company
were notified by myself in person early
on Wednesday morning, April 3, and
certainly went to their Office and spoke
to them in my official capacity as Au-
ditor 1t has also been stated that l
should have caused the arrest of Duden-
hefer on Wednesday, or should at least
have had him shadowed. On that day
"wednesday between and 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, my report was placed IN
the hands of the district attorney through
his principal agent, Mr.. Montgomery
1t is true that, in the course of our con-
versation, | told Mr.. Montgomery that
an immediate arrest might prevent the
collection of about $4,000 which | ex-
pected to get from Dudenhefer's rela
tiveS either that same evening or the
next morning, and | told him | would
report the amount to him as soon as col
lected which | did next morning. had
no idea that Dudenhefer contemplated
leaving the city at any time. He could
have fed long before, without making
any confession: he could have fled after
making his confession of shortage in
his accounts to the Governor.
On Wednesday afternoon late I>cel-
lected $o4o from his sisters, and OH
Thursday morning $I44o making in all

hefer, it is said, was still in the city. |
certainly will not accept responsibility
for his departure. | acted in the inter
est of the State, and according to my
best judgment.
The serious, the very serious aspect
of this matter is the condition of our
laws, which makes it possible for any
tax collected to embezzle the taxes or
licenses collected by him. The Gov
ernor's remarks upon this point are so
lucid that | would not even attempt to
add anything to his published statement.
trust the next Legislature will see to it
that the State is better protected by fol-
lowin the suggestions which the Gov
ernor has made, and which both he and
| made long before this.
Under the Act of 1904 the tax collect
ors are required to settle every month
and to accompany their statements with
a statement under oath of their collec-
tions for which they are settling, and
every month these settlements are made
and the same appear in the newspapers.
The papers publish the names of the tax
collectors settling, and give the amount
each turns in, thus giving to the public
the opportunity of knowing the exact
amount paid in each month by each col
