= Our Democratic friends keep com.
plnlEing of increase in expenditures.
yet their friends do not seem to he'[ge
much In asking for larger appropria-
lions. Take the matter OF the salary
of the superintendent OF public
schools In this city. Only few years
ago the superintendent received 5000 Il
year and the present Superintendent
began at $1,000. watch wns consid-
cradle increase over what he had ever
before received rs teacher in other
schools. He Is this year to receive
$4,000. The High School principal
gets $1,000. which is $700 more than
rhe superintendent received only \
few years ago. The Times doesn't
seem TO think that any more money
ought to be required now than In days
long ago, but Its friends act on the
other theory and ask largely increased
amounts for similar work. How Is
the Democratic organ to reconcile
these conditions?

tasss1 There are many large cities built in
regions where there is not an acre OF
coal |; hundreds of important places are
mot In reach OF natural gas: not n few
good cities have very poor country dis
trIsts around them. while, thousands
$pf tflne towns flourish In regions where
oils not found. Fairnlont is fortunate
mall these respects. and 1t has one
thing more, without. which no place
can attain importance. plenty of water.

Splaces will be forced to come where
water is abundant. Coal can be hanr

OF TOLLS FOR
CROSSING THE RAIL
ROAD BRIDGE

As reported it is proposed to reinstate
the collection of tolls from pedestrians
and vehicles crossing the railroad bridge
across Red river. This collection was
abandoned not 'ong since and the bridge
declared to be free for those coming
into the city. is it intended to use
such collection for the use of the city?
The legality of such collection for the
use specified may be questioned The
money collected for tolls from people
crossing the bridge must be reserved
and kept in the bridge fund
The city has been using for years the
interest coming from the bridge fund,
which. like other special funds. can not
be misapplied or used except for the
purposes specified The right of the city
to use the interest from the bridge fund
may be questioned

4 GREAT ADVANTAGE
The Monroe News Says Business Men
Too Wise to Allow an Enterprise of
SO Much Benefit to Slip Away from
Them Offers a Suggestion.

The Monroe News says Much COM
ment has been caused in this city and
throughout the State in reference to the
rumor which came out of Shreveport
last week that that city intended giving
up the State Fair which is held there
annually.
Just how the rulnor started is not
known. but that it is unfounded can be
vouched for, as Shreveport has too good
a thing to give it up without struggle
This morning Mr. Glen Fleming, secre-
tary Of the Monroe Fair Association and
also of the Dixie Fair Company of Gibs-
land. Louisiana, and recognized as one
of the best authorities OH fairs in the
State, said in regard to the removal of
the State Fair from Shreveport: 1T is
simply absurd to think the business men
OF Shreveport would think for moment
Of allowing the Fair to leave Shreye-
port. There are too many good business
men in Shreveport to allow the removal
of the best advertising medium she has
to go away They know the State Fair
has been one Of the biggest ads Shreve
port has ever had 1t has distributed
thousands Of dollars in that city every
season that She would never have gotten
without it. Don't you ever think for
moment the business men of that city
will see the State Fair moved away
No, not if they have to put up twice the
amount needed. They know good
thing. and then they have tried it.
Other business men OF the city share
the same opinion as that of Mr. Flem-
ing and see NO chance of Shreveport
giving up the State Fair unless it is
forced to do SO by the State
One thing. however. which the r,1mor
has brought to the front is the holding
of the State Fair in different cities.
AA1sh AAShrxe:a xeafh fhelNa} II S fShreYsR9E14 the next in
throughout the whole State, and thus the
money given by the State as whole
would be scattered to the different sec
tions and the benefits derived as whole
from it would be good policy. In this
manner it would give the greatest ben
ef1ts to the different parts of the State,
while as it is now it only benefits small
portion of North Louisiana and Shreve-
port. The State Fair has never had any
big agricultural displays, but such as 1t
has had have come from only two or
three OF the parishes Immediately sur
rounding Shreveport, the others which
are so far away do not take any interest
in the display. This is not as State
Fair should be. Such fair is for the
improvement of the agricultural and
livestock interests of the State and 1t
can not do justice to the State as
whole if it is located in Shreveport III
the northwest corner of the State and
almost in Texas. The States money
should be distributed in the dlfferen
sections and at different times, and thu
| it will help to bring out the best there
lis in the State and will do more towards
the building up of the State in tn
agricultural and live stock lines as
whole and not one small section.
