tEXED QUESTIONS.

n answer 10 UlldU OhC VI
H. Lewis made the week
previous, in which the latter az,
lacked the state administration,
and particularly the otice'creat'
ing acts of the Legislature. Mr.
Ponder replied in fiery address,
taking up seriatim the new o.
fees created and arguing in JUS
LITIGATION of their existence. IN
general terms, he showed that
the administration was a con-
structive one, building up the
new, rather than merely con-
serving what already exists. Al
the conclusion of his address,
Mr.. Lewis was called for, and
though Mr.. Ponder said that IL
was his meeting and Lewis could
have only thirty minutes, the au'
dience vociferated that Mr.. Lewis
could have all the time he want
ed. He took it, and again severe
Iy arraigned the game commits
sion, which Mr.. Lewis consid'
ers the most obnoxious, as it IS
the most vulnerable, measure
of the new regime.
However, we agree with the
Baton Rouge State-Times, IN
averring that between MesSrS'
Lewis and Ponder's opinions
there is a course that the wise
will take. To our mind, that
course is nearer that of Mr.
Lewis than Mr.. Ponder, except
! that we do not condemn wholly
and utterly all the new offices
created by the late Legislature
some of the boards for instance
which regulate the practice o
medicine, etc. No states gov
eminent can afford to stand still

THE GOTERNORS POSITION
REGARDING ROADS.

In the course OF a recent ad-
dress at Baton Rouge Gov. San
ders said, Il would rather see
the Board of Control sell every
piece of farm land it has save
one, keep it as a receiving sta
ton, and put all the able bodied
cOnyicts at work in Louisiana on
the plan here outlined. If this
is done, than we can expect to
see the roads of Louisiana put
upon a permanent, lasting basis
1t is the purpose of the Board OF
Control to sell some of the farms
it has, not to buy any more,
thus enabling US to use the en-
tire able. bodied convict force OF
the State in the carrying out of
the good roads scheme. ="
Nothing but hearty approval
could meet such a course. 1t is
justified by the experience OF
older civilizations. 1t is one OF
the few means by which parish
or state cOnyicts can be employ
ed without conflicting with free
labor, which is always a source
of dissatisfaction and bitterness.
On the other hand, it Obviates
the necessity for citizen-labOr on
the roads, which the average
citizen reSents as much as Rookie
Teller would hate to pay an in
come tax.
Nor will objection be made to
the following propositions the
Governor advances, as being en-
tirely correct in spirit and
theory:
THE ultimate purpose is to
connect every county seat in the
State with every other county
seat by a macadam road.
"The National Government
should construct National roads
connecting every State Capital
with every other State Capital in
the Union.
THE State should construct
State roads connecting every
county seat with every other
county seat.
Every county should con
struct all necessary county
roads"
Gov. Sanders dream of a mod
ell road on both sides of the rive
between New Orleans and BatOl
Rouge, and macadam roads con
Meeting every parish seat in TIN
State with its neighbOr, will hay
it's fascination to all Louisiana
but the Police Juries should b
careful of capitalizing their fund
too far ahead. Many have alread
done so for other improvements
and to become involved further
will produce sad results, if any
thing should happen to della
prOsperity's arrival-by way
these model roads!
Again, the Governor makes a
error though kindly in purpose
when he says: Enough none
has been spent on the publ
roads of Louisiana during the las
twenty years to build permaner
highways from one end of tn
State to the Other-and yet Il
roads, despite honest spending!
Had he said time instead of none
and indirect taxation by slO'
transit, Over-wOrked team
WORKOUT vehicles, and lost oppo
, tunities, it would have been a
entirely correct statement.
Louisiana has spent everythin
she could spend, except none.
on the roads. True, what none
that has been spent, has bee
wasted, -ignOrantly not NAL
ciOusly-but very little none
has been spent. Had none

THAT SUIT AGAINST
 PAVING DISTRICT 25

The suit filed against the commis- sioners of Paving District No. p Thursday by the Merchants and Planters Bank, in which that institu- tion asks Chancellor John M. Elliott to reduce an assessment made by the board of assessors of. that district against their bank property at Main and Barraque streets, from $2,40O to $1,6O0, is attracting much attention from other property owners in the paving district. The officials of the bank stated yesterday that they are
 willing to pay twice as much as any other property owner in the paving district, but they add that the assess ment is out of proportion and unjust. The property owners on the south side of Barraque street adjoining the Merchants and Planters Bank build- ing, were taxed only $7 per front foot by the board of assessors, while the assessment levied against the bank property is $21.40 per foot. The suit was brought for the purpose of having the court issue an order to
 reduce the assessment to $14 per foot, twice as much as that levied on prop erty owners in the same block.
