RAILROAD MATTERS
Rails Will Not be Laid this Winter
on the Bainviile Pientywood
Branch.

For information of our readers
IN the northern part of East
ern Valley County. along the line
OF the Bainville Plentywood
branch, the Searchlight has been
investigating the matter as to just
what time the branch will be
finished and opened for traffic.
We have done this not because
we antagonize the building OF the
branch, as some people seem to
believe, but simply to give the
patrons OF the paper information
upon which they can rely asto about
the time the branch will be avail
able for the shipment OF gram and
other traffic.
During this investigation we in
terviewed Ambrose Olson, who is
purchasing the right OF way for the
branch line and c. A. Walker,
Chief Engineer in charge Of the
construction work Of grading the
branch line.
| Chief Walker has his Office in
one OF the rooms on the second
floor OF the Tanner & Best Opera
Hall Block, and the Office is open
levery day. While Chief Walker
is out on the line one of his clerks
is in charge in the office.
| Chief Walker informed the re-
porter that all the grading would
be finished before tho camps broke
up TINS winter, but that the work
was not going forward as rapidly
as was at first expected owing to
lack OF men and teams. This,
however, is being remedied as the
! season advances. and some of the
sub contractors are now running
tull crews.
No contracts have been let as
yet for bridge constructions OF
track laying and Chief Walker
could not state when this work
would he done, but said that in all
likelihood no tracks would be laid
/ or bridges constructed this winter.
Asked as to how long it would
take To lay the track. build the
1 bridges, stations, side tracks, etc.
A after the contract for that work
was let, Chief Walker said that he
estimated that II would take SO
days from the time the contractors
/ actually began the work.
. From the remarks OF Chief
Walker the reporter drew the in.
i, ference, that track laying and
bridge building will not be com.
meneed until mex, spring. So the
completion OF the branch and the
opening OF same for traffic cannot
be looked forward 10 much before
next June as the earliest date.
! Ambrose Olson being questioned
as TO townsites on the branch line
replied that only two townsites
had been aquired by the railroad
and IN all probability no other
,ownsites will be promoted by the
Great Northern officials. However
stations would be established
along the branch line the usual dis.
tances apart and some OF these
would eventually develop into
postoiiices and towns in the usual
manner oil natural growth.
! The two townsites which will be
promoted are located at Plenty.

Three Mill School Tax said to BE Tn
constitutional.

District Attorney Herbert n. Wax,
of East Baton Rouge, has given it as
hiy opinion that the new law recently
passed by the legislature, requiring
the parish police iuries to levy three
mill tax for the support of the public
schools, is unconstitutional and there
fore void. The following is the opln-
ion as given by Attorney Wax to the
police jury of st. Landry, swhere this
question was recently raised:
"Gentemen-In response to inquiry
for an oniniOn as to whether or not 1t
!, mandatory on the police jury TO
levy a minimum tax OF three mills on
the dollar for the support Of the pub
lie schools, as required by Act Il OF
1gos am of the opinion that 1t is
not and that the police jury in framing
its budget, may ignore the act and
make sucr provision for the maintain
ance of the public schools as Its funds
permit
.tlv reason for this conclusions Is
th.t the act. To the extent that 1t seeks
TO compel the police jury to levy not
less than three mills on the dollar for
school purposes. is unconaUltuIlohal'
Article 254 OF the Constitution stipu-
u,es tnut the Iez isiature shall pro
vide that every parish may levy tax
for The public schools, thus leaving
the evyiug Of the tax discretionary
with the police jury. Therefore, when
the legislature adopted d law pr0vlu-
inc that no police jury shall levy Tor
the support Of It's schools less than
three mills on the dollar, it exceeded
it, authority and acted ultra wires
''Cuder the power delegated to the
legislature by the Constitution, 1t
could go no further than to pass an
aat. yp,lire the parishes with the au-
thorl.y to levy the tax, if they SO de
sired, the use Of the word may de-
ternining that. Therefore, when the
| i>latme, by the use OF the wora
"shall" strives to make it compulsory
on tie part OF the parishes to levy
this three Dill tax, it attempts to use
power tuat il uoes not possess.
"Whie it IS Tue duty Of the police
Jury to ,,,oytoe literally for that es-
sentiaI, public education, | hold that
under this law you are not compelled
to devote a : much as three mills of the
tax to that purpose.

Rice Versus Cats and Corn.

The all important question Of the
present time is. how to increase the
consumption Of rice so az to remove
that stumbling block to higher prices,
IAN over production. And second
only to this is the question Of securing
cheaper feed for the farm animals that
are necessary in the production OF the
rice crop. Now it looks to the editor
of this paper as if these were compli-
mentary questions that may help TO
solve each other The cry of the rice
buyers at the present time is that there
is more rice in the country than can
be consumed. That, although the sea-
son for marketing rice is more than
half gone. there is still three million
BAGS of rice, clean and rough, ia the
country, and that at the present rate
IF CONSUMPTION there will be at least
a million bags carried over to depress
t}e market of the new crop. At the
same time we hear the planters COM
planning of the excessive cost OF feed
for his teams, and we are told that the
short grain crops of the North is re-
sp0nsihlp for this, and tnat as there Is
not sufficient corn and oats to supply
the probable demand, the price OF feed
will likely 90 even higher yet. Now
when No. Japan rice is running from
~. 30 to So 90 per barrel, nearly every
man that has rice at all will have
grades that will not bring more than
81 90 to s. % per barrel, Now the
question is, does it pay to sell rice at
that figure and pay the prevalent price
for oats and com. A little compari-
son in this line will be interesting.
Assuming that the cheaper grade of
rice is worth but 50 % per BARREL we
have:
l62 pounds of rice for 1926
100 pounds of oats for 3.25
1853 pounds of cora for 2.55
Pound for pound the rice is the
cheaper TODD of the lot, and it has
been proven scientifically, and better
still, demonstrated by actual use, that
