The application of barnyard manure

operations. Still another practice that
will enable the dairy farmer to reduce
the cost By growing more food upon
his pasture is the renewal Of its
grasses. If the land is drained and

New Orleans Judge Moore. a constitu.
tionaf lawyer. who has in a lengthy pc
roration explained how and why this
levy would be constitutional
Judge Moore's argument was unlike
Mr.. Farrar's unsolicited opinion when
he has announced that Should the le-
gality of the exposition tax be ques-
toned the courts would settle it in ac-
cordance with this governmental prac-
tice.'
What is that governmental practice
may be surrnised, but Mr.. Farrar has
failed TO give the instance when this
governmental practice was applied te
squelch, so to speak, any opposition to
such tax
An a1l-important feature of the pro
posed levy of a special tax for an expo
sition which is to be managed by cor
poration of individuals is that the State
is to be held responsible for any short
coming in covering the expenditures at
tending the financial success of the ex-
position, which, when interpreted intel
ligently, is significant. 1t means that if
the exposition should incur Indebtedness
beyond the amount which is to be levied
by taxation, the State viii be compelled
to meet the deficiency by the only means
or avenue left, which must be another
levy of special tax.
When the issue is understood by the
taxpayers throughout the State it is now
almost certainty that the tax will be
defeated regardless of the stamp of con-
stitutionally affixed thereto by Mr.. Far
rar and Judge Moore, and which the
Legislature would legalize notwithstand-
ing its unconstitutionality.
The proposed bonus factories" is
only an incident which may be revived
when the Panama tax IS deader than a

The hog that is not properly water

which is the forerunner to many trou

keeping the bowels in the right condi
ton to prevent constipation. which is
one OF the relentless foes OF the feed

with proper facilities for securing at
