plan Of the railroads to thus commit
the shippers and then bring about a
uniform increase of rates applying to
the country as a whole. The propa.

with testimony given recently by

IBERIA HONORED.

The Parish of Iberia has tn,
proud distinction of furnishing
both of the candidates for Con
gress for the Third Congressional
District of the State of Louisiana
The Republicans having placed in
the field as their standard beare,
the Hon. Jules Dreyfus Of this
City. well known throughout the
District as a sterling business man
and a staunch Republican. Mr..
Dreyfus will beyond doubt re-
ceive a big complimentary vote
from his friends, but not enough
to sit him in the halls Of Congress.
The Hon. Robert +. Broussarl
was again re-nomnared 10 sue

THE MODEL ROAD MEETING.

Notices being issued through

committee appointed by the 20

ested citizens to assemble at the
City Hall last Wednesday morn

and to consult with Major +. NJ.

put in their appearance and
showed their interest IN the mat

talk by Major Kerr on the prob
able cost Of the work. VIII ch de
pcnds absolutely on the material
used and the thickness and width
# the road it was decided to ac
.ept Mr.. kerr's plans to have a
survey made of the prospective
route inst as soon as the weather
would permit the State Engineers
TO oct to work. The question OF
financing the proposition was
threshed out by the President OF
he Police jury and IT does not
seem probable that the work could
DC done without a special levy II
a small tax for "A term OF tearS
n the property holders through
which the road VIII traverse. The
general impression prevailing IS
that if a tax is levied it Will meet
the appreciation of all the resi-
Tents along the model road. There
was some strong censurc by a few
visitors TO New Iberia who attend
I'd the meeting about the general
condition of the roads leading to
his City from all avenues OF the
Parish. the contention beng that
he roads within the corporate
limits Of New Iberia were a dis
race to the City and all from a
lack of drainage. We are glad to
see the people at last awakening
TO the needs Of better roads, both
m and out Of the City and trust
mat something will be accomplish
al and that very soon to relieve
us of this bugbcar.

there was n lack of harmony l,e-

ed this condition and said it was

That is how we get SO much bene-

was no attempt on the part of the
executive to coerce the LcgiSla-
ture. 1t was simply that the Coy
ernor and the members of the two
Houses got together from time to
time. discussed their differences
over bills from every angle, made
concessions and accepted them
and worked out measures thai

Takes Up Thomas Interview.
The' Governor took up the
Thomas interview. which. he said,
was made up of a tissue of false
hoods and misrepresentation. with
only here and there a truth.
"Take. for instance. the state
ment that my administration rals-
ed the State Auditor from 81 SOC

EVANGELINE SUIT FILED BY
w. j. BURKE.

Opelousas, La, July 2S.-Ilon
Walter j. Burke Of the firm oil
Burke & Burke Of New Iberia. is
here today to file suit in behall
of the people of Mamou contest
ing the act creating the parish
of Evangelne.
81 never was more certain o1
winning a law suit in my life,
said Mr.. Burke. "The present
bill is more vulnerable than the
one declared invalid by the Su-
preme Court. "
The grounds of the contest are
numerous. covering the points
brought forth in the suits upon
which the Supreme Court de-
clared the previous act umconstl-
tutional, and adding other, among
them the allegation that the clerk
of court. the sheriff and other of
ficers of ST. Landry had been
elected for four years, and it was
illegal to curtail their tenure of
office. These officers and the po-
lice jury are made defendants in
the sult.-States.

A QUEER CONDITION.

Our attention was called some
weeks since to an editorial APP
pearing in the Times-Democrat
anent the Amendments t. be sub
mitted to the people for their ratl-
fication or rejection. The conten-
ton Of this great journal is that
all of the Amendments will be de
feated by the people with the ex-
ception of those relative to the
Exposition and Confederate Vet
eran tax. Not single word is
said about the good roads IA mill
tax being something that would
benefit the entire people Of the
State, and more especially the
country people who are todaN ac.-
ually suffering for better roads.
1t seems strange to us that the
Times-Democrat has not a good
word to say on this proposition
and the press of New Orleans al
most to a unit remaining silent.
Is it because New Orleans does
not care to help the country to
raise money for better roads and
at the same time are so clamorouS
and positive that the country peo-
pie will rally and support the
Exposition tax as advocated by
Thorn II hchOovpS the press of
the country to sit up and take no
tice and find out whether or not
the New Orleans bosses are gong
to support the Good Roads move
ment for a tax, if not, why should
we of the country support their
pet scheme for an Exposition.

THE LOUISIANA CORN CROP

The government corn reports
issued under date of July S. re
port an increased acreage this
year in Louisiana in corn to the
extent of Il per cent. and the
condition at 81 per cent. as
against a 10 year average and S3.l
as against last year at 1913. We
may therefore say that the out
look for corn in Louisiana is bet
ter than it has ever been before
the increased area considered and
that the 2.50O.O0O acres that are
in corn this year will produce a
crop of that cereal worth 30 or 10
millions of dollars to the people
of the state,
1t is interesting to note that
while of the Ia million acres of
corn in the United States this year
only $50 millions are growing in
Louisiana. all the rest of the
Southern States stand above the
two million mark, as Georgia has
$50 million acres planted and
Texas about 9 millions of acres
planted in corn. WhHo Texas
ranks so very high, the state is
surpassed by both Iowa. with its
$50 million acres and Illinois with
its 1850 million acres. In regard
to corn culture, it is notable
fact that for many years Louisiana
has been getting very large guam
titles of corn from Nebraska. We
note that Nebraska has little
over 8 millions Of acres of land
planted in corn and it is rcognlz-
ed as one Of the chief corn produc-
ing states. Nebraska, however,
has but a very limited rainfall.
only some % inches, whereas our
annual rainfall is about 60 inches.

GOV. SANDERS MAKES RE
PLY TO HIS CRITICS.

Alexandria, La. July 2S.-Re-
Iply to some Of the criticisms OF
the newspapers and answer to
some of the Misrepresentation OF
a recent interview given out by
Representative L. Z. Thomas of
Caddo, in which he charged that
1.-THE increase Of salaries under four
years of Sanders would aggre-
gate 100000, was made by
Gov. Sanders in one of the best
speeches he ever made before the
State Farmers Union Wednes-
day night. The Governor repeat
eddy drew applause from his audi
ence and was given an ovation
when he concluded.
During his speech the Governor
attempted no flights of oratory.
He spoke conservatively, telling
an anecdote here and story
there to illustrate his points. and
for more than an hour held the
undivided attention of the audi
ence.
President Harbert Highly Praises
the Governor.
President Harbert Of Jennings,
who spent considerable time at
Baton Rouge during the session,
was exceedingly complimentary IN
introducing him.

before the election as I have
known him since. if I had known
that his every public act was in
spired by hope to promote the
welfare of the people, | would nQtI
have been guilty of the act OF
casting my vote against him"
There was a warm response
from the audience when in closing
Mr.. Harbert said he was thor
oughly glad that Gov. Sanders
had been chosen to represent Lou
isiana in the United States Sen
ate.
The Governor first took up the
question of good roads and made
a half hours talk. which was in
tently followed by his audience.
He took occasion to refer to the |
difficulties which had been en-
in some Of the parishes
and to the obstacles which his OPP
ponents threw in the way. They
knew that good roads were a good
thing and that the farmers want
ed them. and that if they were
built and proved a success the
credit would naturally rebound to
the Governor and his friends.

Governor. "They are politicians.
They want capital and are hop
ng to get it through the failure
