PAYMENT OF TAXES.


stopped in and acted on behalf of
the people of this Parish.
This time he has determined to
shoulder all the responsibility, to
suspend the payment Of taxes tenn
porarily or rather to extend the
time for their delinquency for
another thirty days.
AS not more than fifty five per
cent of the taxes for the Parish
had been paid in up till noon to-
day, there will be benefited by
this action at least forty-fve per
cent of the entire property holders
Of the Parish and today these
should feel intensely thankful to
our Sheriff for his initiative in
their behalf.
Very possibly large part OF
this percentage would have been
forced to pay the penalty for de-
linquency but for the action of the
Sheriff, not that they cannot pay
but because their money is not yet
in hand from their corps that are
still on the ground.
When, early in the season of the
tax collec ton, Sheriff Henderson
saw how tight money was he cast
about him for a means to help
out the people. 1t will be re-
membered few days ago that
there was a discussion as to
whether there was a right in the
Governors hands TO extend the
time and suspend the penalty.
Governor Blanchard advised that
the extension be granted where
possible but he did not assume
any responsibility, and the matter
was still left in doubt as to the
rights of the Collectors to extend
the time.
Yesterday when it became ap-
parent with all the rush that the
payment was going to be very
short Sheriff Henderson wired to
State Auditor as follows:
New iberia, La, Dec. 80, 'O7.
Hon. Paul Caraeville, State Aud
itor, Baton Ro, &c, La:
Will you authorize extension Of
thirty days on tax collections
without penalty. Wire answer
Immediately.
GEO. HENDERSON.
Here is the reply received
shortly afternoon today.
Baton Rouge, Dec. 81, 1907.
Geo. Henderson, New Iberia, La:
Telegram received. / have no
authority. Don't think the law
should be made oppressive. Will
not question any action taken by
you in extending leniency to de-
serving taxpayers for the next
thirty days. Governor says he
will sanction such action as far
as in him lies.
PAUL CAPDEvILLE.
Auditor.
When the Sheriff received this
ne immediately made up his mind
to assume all the responsibility
hat might accrue from suspend
ng the penalt1fos. thirty days
md he so ann the crowd
hat was in Il [rcs waiting al
In very few TK..dtes the crowd
'hinned out and during the rest
II the day there were only the
,oll tax payers there in line.
Thus again has the Sheriff
hown that he has the interests of |
he people at heart, for it takes no |
mall amount of courage to assume |
he responsibility for such an &C. |
ion as this. But lie felt It was |
lne the people who viii commend
lis action.
So lar no account has been re- /
eived here Of I similar nc1ion-
y any other Sheriff u NJ g ~. /

How I Cured Sweeny and Fistula.

i want to tell you how | saved
one of our horses that had a
fistula. We had the horse doctor
out and he said it was so bad that
he did not think he could cure it.,
and did not come again. Then
we tried Sloan S Liniment and it
Icured it up nicely.
lone day last spring ! was
blowing for a neighbor who had a
horse that took sick and he had
me get a bottle for him, and
it cured his horse all right, and
he goes off now like a colt.
I'VE had a horse that had
sweeny awfully bad and we
thought it was never going to be
any good, but we used Sloan s
Liniment and it cured it up nicely.
| told another neighbor about it
and he said it was the best Lini-
ment he ever used.
we are using Sloan's Sure
Collie Cure and we think it is all
right. I"

A PEACEFUL CITY.

The Enterprise Leader has al
ways claimed that New Iberia i.
the most peaceful city of its size
in the State, that its people were
the most orderly and that there
are fewer infractions of the law
IN its limits in comparison with
the population than in any other
city in the Union
/ 1t is difficult matter to get al
the figures of the other cities but
once in while they are made pub
lie and then comparisons can be
made. Recently the Shreveport
Times published a statement of the
eases before the Police Court in
that city for the year 1907 and
the figures used in the comparison
so far as concerns that city are
taken from that paper.
1t stated that in Shreveport s
Police Court during the year 1907
there were 2,493 convictions of
persons charged with offenses
against the laws covered by the
city ordinances.
How different is the record in
this City. During the whole of
the same year there were but 1T
cases or, according to the records
of Judge Brown, Shreveport is
more than fourteen times as bad
as New Iberia
In Shreveport there were 600
cases in addition to the others
that were Of so serious a nature
that they had to be tranSfsmul
to the Distriataal
~. Court. In this
Judge Brown found during
the whole year but So such eases,
Taken as whole, the figures
for crime stand as follows: Shreve-
port BIB; New Iberia, 229. Oh
what a difference.
1t might be imagined that
Shreveport is IA times the size of
New Iberia but it isn't. 1t iSsdoubt-
full if it is one and a half times as
large as this City. Therefore when
the facts Of the matter are con-
sidered, it will be seen that Shreve-
port is very wicked or New Iberia
is very good.
But Shreveport is not any more
sinful than the ordinary city
while New Iberia is remarkably
law abiding. Other figures when
they come along will demonstrate
this fact. 1t is no wonder then
that the mere presence of single
burglar here disturbs the entire
community. 1t is not used to
crime and it does not want to
foster it little bis.

When the examination was con-

debts represented a larger sum than

therefore. Mr.. Schwab does not have
to pay any personal taxes. As non

HOME BASES.
New Plan Of the United States
Navy Department
To Make Service on Fighting
Ships Attractive.
IT'S HARD TO GET MEN
Two Sites Already Have Beef
Tentatively Selected.
One on Staten Island and One
on Puget Sound.

New York, April 9.-The navy depart
ment has under consideration project
for the establishment on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts Of what will be
known as home bases for the fleets.
where the enlisted men will be afforded
an opportunity to purchase their own
homes and where the ships of the fleet
will call at regular intervals. The es-
adjustment of such a community on
Staten Island is likely, in the opinion
of many naval officers, and this is be-
ieved to have had much to do with
the visit to New York the other day OF
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Tru-
man III. Newberry, who sailed along the
Staten Island coast, presumably look
ing for site that would be suitable
for the establishment of one OF these
proposed navy villages.
For many years navy officers have
advocated creating home ports to en-
nance the attractiveness of the service
and bring about much needed increase
in enlistments, particularly re-enlist-
ments.
Before the departure Of the Atlantic
fleet for the Pacific, the enlisted
strength Of the navy was far below the
requirements Of the service. For years
the recruiting officers had been work.
| ing hard to bring the enlistments up
to the maximum allowed by law. Then
came the announcement of the cruise
TO the racine, WIFI us many pOItS "a
call and numerous entertainments pre-
pared by foreign countries. This, oil
course, increased the enlistments. the
| result being that when the fleet sailed
| the enlisted strength Of the service was
nearer the authorized maximum than
| 1t had been in years.
| But 1t will soon be necessary for the
| department to do something to KEEP
| the thousands of well trained men IN
/ the service. This, the officials think
! the establishment of home bases VIII
accomplish.
Rear Admiral Burwell, commandani
Of the navy yard in Puget Sound, Is
| said to have interested a number o.
| prominent Pacific coast men in ths
! project of establishing such commun-
/ ity there.
| with this object in view. it is sale
| that a large plot of ground will soor
i be purchased near the Puget Sounc
yard where the enlisted men Will De

Whether such a community will ne
