A CHANCE FOR THE DAIRY
BUSINESS.

The greatest drawback to st. Tammany
parish is dependence upon shifting popu-
latlon of summer visitors for it's support,
while the products consumed by these Wis
itors are produced elsewhere. Profitable
production beyond home consumption is linn
tied to very few. Food for man and beast
is largely purchased and raised elsewhere.
1t has been pointed out time and again thatun-
less we make our soil productive or establish
industries that will give employment to labor
we will always be dependent, as in the past,
upon the caprice of the travelling public and
the necessities of the sick. These conditions
are not forced upon us by improvident nature
but is the heirloom of habit. We can pro-
ducc more beautifully than many sections
that are producing more.
And now comes Mr.. Where of the Clover
lands Dairy, who informs us that milk from
here contains higher percentage of butter
fats than that from the Hammond dairies
and offers to contract for fifteen hundred
gallons a day. This proposition should be
well considered. 1t is of great Importance
to this section to establish profitable dairy
business. An improbable business is worse
than no business, and if we have cows that
will average less than from As to points
there is no money in it for small herds. es-
pecially if the cows are heavy feeders and
short-time mixers. But we have the en-
couraging example of Hammond before us.
She has made money out of her dairy bust
ness. Then why should not we, with ac-
knowledged superiority Of milk The mat
ter should be thoroughly sifted and the best
made of our opportunity. If contracts can
not be entered into at this time there will
probably be an opportunity offered later on.
Contracts have been entered into as fol-
lows: Charles Bradley, 200 gallonss Joseph
Schuyler, $50 gallons; Thee. Paderas. so
gallons; L. j. Heintz. so gallons; Jean La
bat, 30 gallons; Ed. Thompson, 30 gallons;
N. Trepagnier, 10 gallons. Total, $50 gallons,

SHOULD THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
sALLOWIT?

While railroads are deserving Of great
consideration by reason of their value in
building up property interests and their
usefulness, commercially and otherwise, to a
community, they can also be a means of
destruction in the wrecking of towns and
the dissipation of fortunes based upon a
continuance of their service.
It is great hardship to citizens who have
for years been living on the line of a rail-
road to, suddenly find themselves thrown
out Of communication with other towns by
the withdrawal of the road. It is not only
hardship but an injustice. This is the
predictament in which the people will be
placed who live between Florenville juno
ton and Pearl River if the Railroad Com
mission permits the New Orleans Great
Northern to remove it's tracks between these
points. The larger number of people in the
district in question are dependent for liv-
inc upon the lumber business hauling tim
Der and working in saw mills and with this
employment discontinued not only will they
be without the means of livelihood, but
the nnilI-Owners themselves, who have in
sWGGIGu sE1lGiI DOAASA GAAe@t IAAO
railroad was fixture, will be compelled to
abandon their business.
People have been induced to invest in land
and to build homes, under the impression
that the presence of the road would greatly
enhance the value of their property and
that they would be able to obtain employ
nent BY which to support their families.
In law, no retroactive act can be passed
that win impair the obligation of contracts.
III common justice this principle is inviola
Bic. BY implication, when railroad is
granted privileges in consideration of it's
services, it is understood that those services
become vested right which the people are
entitled to enjoy as long as the company is
III existance, and every purchaser of a piece
Of land and every dollar invested in business
enterprises becomes contract that is af-
ffected by the withdrawal of the road.
The milling interests on this section of the
line employ about ninety hands, with an
output Of fifty thousand feet of lumber daily,
and represent the investment of considera-
bic capital

TERM SHOULD BE THREE YEARS

Il is contended and generally rocoon;zod
81 s,lassne year is entirely too short a term for
tneotlcialsof a town to inject into their adj
m3nlstratlon the characteristics that lead to
Ter nomination and election. The value of
enelr services are lost in preparations and
eeaiillaished business in the Inauguration of
system and new methods. In fact, one wear
scarcely affords opportunity to become fa-
l'l.laE With the routine of executive duties
ana 70 work out in detail proficient and
economical police regulation the preserva-
sloh ~ Meath and just and equitable ad-
nllnlstration Of the laws. To get the benefit
q mind capable Of solving the problems of
municipal government, there must be time
winch to develop plans and put them into
ecutlon. Without first diagnosing the dis
se there Gamble no remedy applied.
with our present one-year term there is
opportunity beyond the initiative. The
arrylng out Of new plans must be left to
succeeding administrations, who may adopt
them or Institute plans of their own, which
are likewise left to the next administration
for completion. In this way things remain
nl perpetual ssGee of incompleteness. Bene-
flclal conceptions are absorbed by new ideas,
valuable time is wasted in preparing for
elections, and lack of accomplishment is
welded as campaign weapon against the
ms that the outs" may be afforded an
opportunity to go through the same rig
marole
It has been urged upon the present admin
istration that steps should be taken to in
crease the term of office of mayor and coun-
cilrnen to two, or three years preferably
three and we had hoped that this would be
done. It appears, however, that the matter
has been delayed beyond the requisite legal
time for notice of contemplated change pre-
ceding election. While this makes it impos-
slble Co Increase the term of Office at the
coming election, it does not alter the neces-
sity for an increase of the term for future
elections, and we hope to see our present
defective system remedied by making the
term three years instead of one. The too
frequent elections not only afford no oppor-
tunity for the development Of plans, but
they are hurtful to business interests and
are an unnecessary expense.
Let the increased term commence year
hence; but we can get the benefit 1of the
change by re-electing those who are now
holding Office for another term. The pres
ent mayor and council have accomplished
much that is good. They have worked har-
moniously together and should be given OPP
portunity to complete the projected work they
have in hand. We do not believe more
beneficial move could be made than to re-
elect those who will permit their names to
20 on the ticket for second term.

Dr.. Mead's Candidacy.

In looking over the political field GER

That DR.. Mead is now and will probably
continue to be the leading candidate is
owing to circumstances for which Others
than himself and his friends are in a
large degree responsible. Outside of
such personal popularity and worth as
are his, there are forces that make in
his favor and taken all together we
doubt if any combination can overcome
them. When in 1908 it was proposed
to promote the then Lieutenant-Gover-

loyalty to the party protested, but in

all upon the integrity or ability of Gov

prove embarrassing to the party and
might result in changing its aggressive
position to Que Of explanation and apol-
