recorded against it, providing fol
q constitutional amendment
whereby 81, 600, 900 may be raised
through special tax for the pro.
posed Panama Canal Exposition

Mr.. Clairborn's bill relative to
parish, city and town official
printers, has been favorably re-
ported by the printing committee
of the Legislature and will soon
be law, which will put stop to
the cut-throat competition between
newspapers throughout the State.
The parishes, cities and towns are
to elect printer, who shall own
or represent some established
newspaper in existence for a year
preceding the last election. The
contract is to be for one year.
The law is not to affect existing
contracts, but is to prevail as they
expire. The rate is fixed at 50
cents square of 100 words for
the first insertion and 25 cents for
the second, and the job work is
to be done at the lowest current
rates.

Alfalfa Era in Louisiana.

The Sugar Planters Journal
says concerning alfalfa hay:
"Perhaps there is no innovation
quite so marked in this State as
that of the large use of alfalfa
Medisago saliva. 1t seemed al
most the only grass on exhibition
at the late session of the Louis
lana Farm Lands Congress, held
at Alexandria, and consequently
is an unmistakable indication of
the favor in which it is held by
the agriculturalists of the vicinity.
And what is true of that vicinity,
may be assumed to be true of the
State at large. Years ago, we
observed an impressive per cent
Of the area along the Red River
valley and the Bayou Boeuf, set
in this splendid clover.
cit is destined to play a great
part in the future agriculture of
this State, and indeed, it is doing
that now. For ease of production
and size of crop, for rapidity of
growth; for its per cent OF susten-
ance and love all live stock, even
poultry have for it; for its dur
ability it has hardly a parallel.
For pasture, for soiling, for hay,
it has hardly a rival, and we do
not hear of its bloating as red and
even white clover do.
"Enquiring the price of its hay,
we were informed it was $50 per
ton at Alexandria. That surely
ought to satisfy. We are strong
ly disposed to think that the ag-
gregate value of a seasons crop
of timothy to Western farmer,
would not be as much as that.
We were told that it could be cut
every month in the year, but are
disposed to think that an over
statement. Yet, one thing is very
certain, which Is, that it is a very
rapid grower in propitious sea-
sons, and We have known it to
grow, by actual measurement, So
inches in 80 days, at Captain Mat
Mahoner's, deceased, Macon, Mis-
sissippi."

OF To Washington.

The subject of the utmost i'm.
portance to the people of Louis.
lana at the present time is the
Panama Exposition in 1915, when
the Panama Canal will be COM
pleted. The location of this ex-
position is devolving on an act OF
Congress, before which National
body the question is now pending
New Orleans is the illogical point
for the holding Of this exposition,
but San Francisco, California, is
strong bidder, with hardworking
delegations at the National Cap
itol. The citizens of New Or
leans and the State have already
submitted a bonus of over one
million dollars and the legisla.
ture now in session is rapidly
enacting measure to provide for
the levying Of small tax on
property to further add to the in
ducements to offer Congress. The
last act to secure the exposition
has been to get the consent of the
Legislature TO take a Jaunt to
Washington in a body, to pre-
sent our claims in the strongest
possible way to secure the expo
sition, which will mean so much
for the city Of New Orleans, State
and people. They will adjourn
next Tuesday and depart for the
National CanitO1 and on Thurs.
day and Friday of next week ahey
will strike telling blows in favor
of New Orleans as the logical
point. The expense of sending
the entire Legislature to Wash
ington is to be borne by the Pana-
ma Exposition Executive Com
mittee, and the act will be uni.
versally endorsed, for nothing
could they do at the State Cap
itol that would inure more to- the
benefit of the State.

If we are to judge by the thou
sands of people who are beinS
daily swindled by the numerous
get rich schemes that infest the
country, the American people are
becoming particularly easy. AL
most every large city seems to be
fruitful field for the swindler's
operations, and the poor dunes
almost tumble over each other in
their effort to get something for
nothing or fabulous returns for a
small outlay, which anyone of
average intelligence ought to
know was swindle without BEING
appraised of the fact. Aside from
this the press of the country is
continually warning the people of
the dangerous character of those
swindling operations and pub.
fishing reports of the thousands
who have learned by dear exper.
fence of the fraudulent nature of
so many concerns in which thew
have intrusted their all. We
would say it serves them right
were it not for the fact that the
victims in many cases are poor
people who can ill afford to lose
their daily earnings in this man.

Value Of Good Roads.

Mecklenburg County, N. c.,
began to build macadam roads sc
years ago, using the direct tax
alton method of raising funds.
To-day that county has 2OS miles
of modern highways.
AS a result of these good roads
farm values have reached that
point where $50 an acre is regard
ed as the minimum price of such
lands and SIS and 500 an acre the
maximum. A few years ago $50
was regarded as an exceedingly
high price for an acre of Mecklen-
burg land. Now there are few
very few-farms in the country
that can be purchased for less
than $50 per acre, and no great
number are for sale at that price.
This is the experience of everv
country that constructs improved
roads. In the face of such hard
facts, why the people of a mud
ridden community hesitate to ac-
qlire improved roads is strange,
MecklenDurg, as stated, has been
building roads for thirty years,
levying a road tax.
Now the people are agitatinp
for bond issue to carry the work
on more swiftly and at the same
Time to improve streets within the

THE WEAK SPOTS IN
 OUR BANKING LAWS
They Are Pointed Out by Comptroller
 of Currency.

Washington. Sept. 12.-RepOrting to the bank supervisors of twenty five states gathered in convention here. Lawrence Murray. comptroller of currency. declared that the results under the banking laws of the coun- try were in a large measure unsat- isfactory He intimated that the fault might be in the weak adminis- tration laws. In proposing a working cooperation between the national banking system and state super visors, the comptroller mentioned some of the practices considered ob- jectionable. The June call for the condition of national banks showed S26,000.0O0 in overdrafts. he said, and there is no statute which allows the office to permit such condition Some of the state laws prohibit over drafts and he urged cooperation with supervisors on that point
 Weak banks should be forced into liquidation he declared and he said he would use every power to force unsteady institutions to discontinue before they failed. He asked the state officials to urge such a prac- tice in their home territory. Bank promoters were condemned in un- mistakable terms. A list of them is kept in the comptroller's office and he promised the state officials that it would be available for their use in the investigation of applications
