THE EXPOSITION TAX.

Crowley, La, Sept. PA petition
to the voters of Acadia parish is being
circulated, calling upon the voters to
register, in order to be in position
to vote against the Panama EXPOSE
ton tax, Nov. 8.
The petition recites that according
to the statement, the country parishes
are assessed at 1924, 1873, 526, and the
city or parish Of Orleans at 1921 ,o45'-
937 and that as per the present assess
ment the country will pay $106, $3.50
per year, or S1,O66,39 in ten years,
and New Orleans S173,2S4.45 per year,
or in ten years, s1,732,844.50.
It states further that the interest on
these bonds will be S280,O0O per year,
or just about equal the amount of the
tax paid in each year, so that at the
end of ten years the State will still
owe the tax six and one-half million
dollars at 4 per cent interest bonds,
which by the act the parish of Or
leans proposes to pay. The sentiment
is divided on this question of taxa
tion, and the promoters of this peti
tion declare that they will push il
through.
We are not opposing the Expos
ition tax amendment as we believe
it is worth the outlay to have j
held in New Orleans, but we be
lieye that eventually the whole
State will have the debt to pay
it is we'll for us to understand this
before we vote the tax.

Don't Appreciate the State.

j. c. Trichel, cashier of the Con.
tinental Bank and Trust Company,
was at his desk yesterday after a
two weeks vacation, which he
spent principally in West Texas,
accompanied by his friend Trim
nell Harrison, of the B. & B.
department Of the Texas & Pacific
Railway.
He said be visited Dallas, Fort
Worth, El Paso and other Texas
points, and made trips to Cloud
|croft, New Mexico, and Juarez,
Mexico, taking in a big bull fight
in the latter place. Texas is a
great country with most aggressive
people, and in spite Of another
very bad drouth this year over
many portions of the State, many
improvements are under way, good
roads being one Of the main items,
but this is the second year Of dry
weather over there, and a great
many people, who could, pulled up
and left the State, and a great
many more would if they could.

we mentioned in our last letter, is
receiving its last coat Of paint
although Contractor Z. NJ. Briley
has not finished building on &C.
count of not getting some extra
doors and windows which we're
special orders: We have planned
to seat the building with single
desks which have been ordered.
Supt. Nixon and ex-Supt. Moss
have promised to dedicate the
building as soon as we can get
ready, which will be some two
weeks yet.
Our next step will be to clear
| off about an acre OF land and con-
vert it into an agricultural farm.
When we get ready for this work
we will look forward for teacher
who can teach this branch as we'll
as other branches connected with
the literary schools. Teachers, I
think here is a real good thought
for you. There is one of the
brightest futures before the young
man who has or would cultivate
agricultural work of anything l
have in mind, and yet how few are
grasping the idea.
There is not a qualified boy in
the State, all Of our agricultural
teachers are from other States.
Boys, I would stop a moment and
get busy.
Our teacher, Hugh Smith, con-
tracted for q 8 months term and
he is one Of those hard hitters, too.
We have preaching once a month
and Sunday school twice.
Mr.. Gas Moss was with us last
third Sunday and delivered a Sun.
day school lecture which will be
long remembered and much good
is expected.
A Sunday school celebration will
be held the early part Of next year
and Mr.. Moss will head the pro
gram.
Our teacher spent Saturday and
Sunday at Verda. | suspect there
are some pretty girls down thai
way.

ton that Hugh's parents and sis
tiers spent third Sunday with u|

WORK ON THE CANAL
SEEN AT CLOSE RANGE
Progress in Panama Described in
Lecture by Mr.. Barrett Of Post
Office Department.

A special meeting of the Rhode Island
Avenue Suburban Citizens Association
was held in Odd Fellows Hall. 22d and
Rhode Island avenue northeast. last
night The first part of the evening was
devoted to a lecture by William l.. K.
Barrett on The Panama Canal at Close
Range" Mr.. Barrett is secretary Of the
Harlem Improvement Association Of Bal
timore, Md. and chief clerk in the Office
of the purchasing agent for the Post
he stated that President Taft is correct
in saying the canal will be completed in
1919. and characterized the work
as the best this government has
ever undertaken. Notwithstanding the
discourag ing conditions at the time the
United States took charge of the work,
Mr.. Barrett asserted that the death rate
per thousand at the present time Is
less than that of Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York, and possibly Washington.
That under the direction of Gen. Gorgas
the entire Canal Zone OF ten miles In
width and forty-seven miles In length is
equal in sanitary condition to any of our
metropolitan cities, a work which only
Uncle Sam could accomplish.
Since the transfer by the French gov
eminent of its property on the canal to
can engineers have built and equipped a
modern railroad that handles the i'm
mense traffic across the isthmus, by run
ming six trains each way daily between
Panama and Colon. The main line of the
railroad is only forty-seven miles in
length, but for the purpose Of carrying
away waste dirt. they have built 6OU
miles of spur tracks to available dumping
grounds.
Mr. Barrett spoke in words of highest
praise of the spirit I'm which every Ameri-
can employee carried on his work.
The second part of the entertainment
consisted principally Of musical pro-
gram, the first number of which was a
piano duet. Fra Diavolo," by the Misses
Annette and Adelaide Harbers, which
was followed by soprano solo by Mrs.
C. w. SMELL.

between the Secretary Of War and the
Secretary of Agriculture. the plan is TO be
put in operation soon as the necessary
details can be arranged The Depart
ments of War and Agriculture will CO.
operate in the matter. and each will des-
ignate a representative TO carry the plan
into practical effect.

Agriculture on Che subject Secretary
Dickinson said that the object of the
War Department is TO find a way TO be
enabled to make the first offer of pur-
chase of horses suitable for refnounts,
which have been specially bred for mill
tary purposes. He stated that several
European countries had found it neces-
sary to give special encouragement TO
the production of such horses. While the
actual superintendence of breeding was
done by the agricultural departments of
the government. the army horse-supply-
ing agencies gave substantial encourage
ment and assistance.
