COIFAx, GRANT PARISH, La. SATURDAY, APRIL 3d. 1910


From Washington comes the in.
formation that the people of this
country have every reason to feel
satisfied. 1t will be the year of
bumper crops. From every Sec
ton the predictions are the same.
Every farmer has reason to feel
that the recent severe winter will
be the means of making a prosper
Gus summer. From the grain
fields and the wheat fields the pre-
dictions point to an unusual sea-
son. From the Ozarks and fruit
sections the same alluring report
of prosperity comes. 1t further
sustains the prediction that the
farmer is. after all, one of the most
independent citizens in this coun-
try.
The recent panic of high prices
has resulted in many aud various
solutions being offered in explana-
ton, but the general consensus of
opinion is that the amount of pro-
duction has not been in proportion
to the rate of consumption. 1t has
given to the farming business an
impetus. Many who had deserted
the plough to follow trades in the
city are beginning to feel and to
realize that they are not kings of
the earth, but are at the best but
slaves of toll. The work is inces-
SAINT, the compensation is small,
the small amount of independence
allowed is limited. The contrary
is true on the farm. Here men
realize what life really means and
the encouraging reports which are
being circulated are restoring con-
6dence. The man who expects to
succeed in the world must direct
his attention to the farm, and if
the information furnished in adj
vance, by eminent authorities in
Washington are to be accepted,
then we have reason to believe
that the farmer during the year
will add still further to his person.
al prosperity as we'll as the general
prosperity of the country. Bump
er crops mean much, and it is pos
sible through the increase to make
possible better condition of af-
fairs wherever it has been affected
by the high cost of living. -Shreve-
port Times.

That Exposition Tax.

Here and there in the State a voice
is raised in protest against the pro-
posed tax in support of the Panama
Canal Exposition. Practically every
body seems to be in favor of raising
the necessary money and of holding
the exposition in New Orleans, but
to few the bare suggestion of tax
is fearsome thing, bogy which
must be avoided ut all costs.
Let's see about this oppressive tax.
1t amounts to 81 cents per $1,000 of
assessed valuation. Does that look
like burdensome tax? The man in
ordinary circumstances who is as
sessed for $500 will pay the enor-
nous sum of 1Sh cents in taxes for
exposition. The man who is assess
ed for $40, 900 and who may thus be
accounted wenltby-for he is prob
ably worth four times as much-will
pay 1910 in taxes. Is tax burden
to either of these citizens?-Shreye-
port Times.

VOL. XXXIv
Tax for the Exposition.

The first meeting of the directors
OF the Panama Exposition Company
ON Friday made good start with
more than third of it's 81 900. 900
of stock subscribed before the first
meeting took place. The rest will be
rapidly taken up.
To raise the full $4,000 with
which New Orleans must go Def Ore
Congress and ask for $4,000, 900
from the na tionnl government, tax
liz proposed
The tax is the surest and fairest
why to raise the amount of money
necessary to start the work ON u
sound basis.
The country, it is proposed, shall
pay half what the city pays. The
proposed tax is only six-eights of IA
mill on the dollar in the city and
three-eightbs of IA mill in the coun-
try.
A farmer in the country whose
place is assessed, say, at $500. would
pay about Is cents a year for ten
years, or $3.50 in all, as his contri-
button to an enterprise which will re-
turn the city and State many times
the value of the investment. The
small farm was used MS an illustra-
ton by Governor Sanders to show
that the proposed tax will be no bur-
den on the poor man. The exposi-
tion tax on property assed at $1,000
would he only about 81 cents year.
In the city the tax will he twice as
much-but still mere bagatelle in
proportion to the value of the invest
'ment.-New Orleans Item.

What is q Gentleman?

What is a real gentleman is thus
defined by a certain writer: "A
man that is clean inside and out;
who neither looks up to the rich
nor looks down to the poor; who
can lose without squealing or win
without Dragging; who is consider
ate of women, children and old
people, who is too brave to lie, too
generous to cheat, and who takes
his share of the world and let's
others have theirs. Progressive
