THE INAUGURATION.

The inaugural ceremonies of Governor Sanders
and Lieutenant Governor Lambremont at Ba-
ton Rouge, next Monday. will probably attract
one of the largest crowds that has ever gath
cred in the capital city. Excursions will be run
from every city in the State and extensive
preparations have been made for the comfort
and accommodation of visitors. The inaugural
ball will be an attraction for many, and scenes
on the floor will probably disclose some of the
handsomest costumes of the season. The Gov
ernor will give public reception, but it will be
impossible for him to shake hands with all of
the immense throng that will take advantage of
the opportunity. There will be bands of music
and parades galore, military and otherwise, fire
works and speechmaking, concerts at the pavil-
ion, and opportunity to meet all the big men of
the State And not least of enticements held
out to visitors at the capital next Monday is the
opportunity to hear the inaugural address of
Governor Sanders. The Baton Rouge, Hammond
and Eastern will run train from here at 7:3O
next Monday morning, scheduled to start on its
return trip from Baton Rouge at 1890 after
midnight.

here by foreign companies but for this double

withdrawal of interest will be more than offset
by the earnings of capital and the enhanced
value of property, and the rates Of interest that
will satisfy foreign investment will not interfere

The following extract from an account of the
proceedings of New Orleans meeting will show
how earnestly the businessmen and public in
terests of New Orleans are demanding repeal
of the law:
At a largely attended meeting held in the
rooms of the New Orleans Progressive Union
the other day. representatives of all the COM
mercial bodies of New Orleans and Of practically
every business organization in Louisiana unquali-
fiedly endorsed the movement looking to the re-
peal of that portion of the tax law which i'm
poses double taxation upon real estate owners
who borrow outside money on mortgage loans.
Prominent bankers and others who addressed
the meeting explained that the leading life in
surance companies would alone send S15, 600, 600
or 500, 000 900 of 5 per cent money to Louisiana
to loan on first class real estate mortgage paper
very soon after the law shall have been repealed.
Louisiana is the only State in the Union which
has put up direct tax barrier against the in
fux of outside capital and no State needs outside
capital to greater extent proportionately than
does Louisiana for the banks do not now hold
| deposits in sufficient volume to enable them to
finance the current business of the beople on an
adequate SCALE So great is this need felt that
the State bankers do not anticipate any injurious
competition from outsiders in case the law is
repealed

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABoUTlT1

We wish to call attention to matter OF impor-
lance to our community and we ask that either
the Council or meeting of citizens take action.
There can be but one result, if continued indifer-
ence is displayed by our citizens in public affairs
and no action is taken to secure to ourselves the
benefits that might be acquired by little inves-
tigation and attention to what is going on around
us and that which is being accomplished in other
communities Opportunities that might bring
increased prosperity if taken advantage of, are
allowed to slip by, while our neighbors grasp
them eagerly and reap the reward. The indi-
yidual citizen cannot take these matters up
himself, because it would occupy more of his
time than he could spare and involve an expendi-
trlre that should not rest entirely on his Shout
ders.
IF it is within the power of the Council to ap-
point standing committee to take charge of
such affairs it should do SO, and an appropria-
ton should be made to defray the expenses of
such committee. If this cannot be done, then
the citizens should get together and organize
such a committee, to be supported by contribu-
tons A sufficient sum could always be collected
to pay actual working expenses of committee,
IL no better means can be devised.
The particular matter that needs attention at
the hands Of such committe immediately is

out prominently the loss to the State of outside
