OIL CITY ARRAIGNED.

1t is very rare and exceptional when
a Grand Jury singles out publicly an
individual or a community for condem-
nation and perhaps the indictment OF
Oil City published in this issue is with
out a parallel in the State of Louisiana.
At least It is without precedent i'll the
Parish of Caddo.
This condition in Oil City which has
led to this indictment by the Grand
jury, is not only extraordinary and
damnable, but is proof of the audacity
which has defed the law. trampled
good morals under foot. but has faunt-
ed its insolence in the face of the people.
This condition at Oil City indicates to
what length some men will go in selling
intoxicants and in otherwise disregard
ing all rules of order and decency.
1t is fortunate for the self-respecting
and abiding citizens of Caddo Par
ish that they have for district attorney
a man who is fearless in the discharge
of his duties. Had he been faint heart
ed, the indictment of the men held for
bootlegging would probably have failed.
It is equally fortunate that the Grand
jury was not misled nor swayed by
some sentimental "slush" in the dis
charge of their obligations.
In the cases of the individuals indict-
ed there should be the fullest enforce
ment of the law.
There is only one convincing argu-
ment with the bootlegger. the blind
tiger and others of this ilk, and that is
the full maximum of the law which
must be enforced and be respected even
by those who would defy, spit on it
and trample it under foot.

THE FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU

THE FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU
There is no authority in the State
which is more dlctatorial and a,ltocratic
than the Fire Prevention Bureau
A few days ago the Mayor of the City
of New Orleans in message to the City
Council directed attention. as reported
in the States, to the widespread i'm
preston that the Fire Prevention Blu
reau is responsible for the exorbitant
fire insurance rates now in force in New
Orleans He calls attention to the fact
that the city is doing everything in its
power to make conditions such as to
justify substantial reduction in the
rates, but that in spite of the finest wa
ter supply the city has ever had, the
Vtrge increase in the number of fremen
and of their equipment, insurance rates
have not responded to tesc greatly i'm
proved conditions
This agitation is timely.
Is this Fire Prevention Bureau a
gust?
The citizens of New Orleans are COM
planning vigorously but the bureaus plea
of defense is that the increase in the rate
was justified by several fires. at which
4lere was lack Of water. and the al
legged incffciency of the Fire Depart
ment
1t would seem that although the water
system and the Fire Department has
been improved and the fire fighters in
creased in numbers. the high rates are
still effective. which leads the States to
declare that under the working of the
Fire Prevention Bureau the Insurance
Trust raises the rate when con litions
are bad and keeps them up when the
conditions justifying the raise have been
ameliorated, thereby 'skinning' the peo-
pie "a comm and a goin'.
Not only is New Orleans interested,
but the whole State. and therefore
Mayor Behrmans action should be rein
forced with the approval of all people
who insure
AS dlfeCted ny the Mayor OF the N1ty
of New Orleans, District Attorney Ad-
ans will institute an inquiry which will
speedily determine whether or not there
is a fire insurance trust or combination
in Louisiana, and if so, what public
service the Fire Prevention Bureau is
rendering to justify its continued exist
ence."
If, as says the States, the Fire Pre-
vention Bureau is not actually respon
sible for the increase in rates, it GER
tainly is doing nothing to compel the
Insurance Trust to relax its grip upon
the Threats of the business community.
