Under the plan that will be sug-
gested to the Legislature concerning
the Exposition, the city of New Or
leans win be made to bear the bulk
of the proposed tax. New Orleans,
while recognizing that the entire
State will be immensely benefited by
the Exposition, is wiling to bear the
brunt Of taxation, because the Big
Show will be held in that city.
The enacting clause in the Nettles
locker BILL which prohibits clubs
being formed in dry territories BY
which liquor is kept in lockers by
members of the club, and dispensed

TEN, was left out, thereby making it.
grossly unconstitutional. The Cover
nor has embodied this in his call.
Prominent lawyers, however, main
tain that sach a law is uneonstitu-
tional, no matter how drawn up.
They say that there is nothing in the

person from buying a bottle of whis-
key and putting it in any old place
he chooses and treating a friend if he
is SO minded.
Louisiana needs Industrial and
manufacturing plants. 70 these en-
terprises is due the prosperity Of the
West and East and North. They
don't stand back on d paltry tax for
a bonus for enterprises of this nature,
realizing that they are investing their
money at good interest. The trouble
in Louisiana is that political dema-
gogues infame the people who can
not post themselves with the idea
that politicians are using their tax
money for themselves. One Of the
purposes of the call for an extra SEES
sion is to authorize municipal, ward
and parochial authorities To vote spe-
cial taxes in aid of industrial or
manufacturing plants or enterprises
and such enabling laws as may be
necessary. Under the proposed act,
every community will be permitted to
vote or reject such a tax.

Does Uncle Sam Earn All the
Money Won Pay Him?

You pay your good money to The
postofice department for the trans
mission Of letters. etc. Do you get
as much service as you pay for?
That's q live question. You don't
know. Probably not. Few persons
do know. Not one man III a million
who ticks a two-c n6stamp and sticks
it on a letter has any notion Of the
waste postage involved. He is send
ing q letter, weighing possibly 200
grains-less that half an ounce.
The carrying caFaeity of that two
cent stamp is 1917 grains. The
waste is 237H g~rains-say one cents
worth Of service thrown away. The
government gets it and you. who
need it more, lose it. Too bad, isn't
it?
Well, what are you going to do
about it, Are you going to continue
throwing away one cent every time
you put a stamp on a letter? Maybe
you will; but you ought not to do SO.
You can get the benefit Of your ex-
cess postage very easily in this way:
