The committees appointed by
the police juries of Lafourche and
Assumption held a second joint
meeting here last Thursday. AS
we announced before, joint meet
ing had been held at Houma and
committee appointed to inquire
into good sites for location.
Several sites were suggested by the
committee but no action taken.
After a full discussion of the mat
ter the concensus of opinion seem
ed to be that it would be better to
defer action until after the meeting
of the General Assembly, so as to
ascertain just what the lawmakers
would do, it being quite apparent
the State would do something to
help out the situation in so far as
the detention of the insane avail
ting deportation to Jackson and
Pineville were concerned, as well
as relieving the present situation
regarding criminals under II
years.
1t was finally decided that the
proposition contemplated would
cost quite bit of money to estab-'
lish and no little money to insure
it's proper maintenance and manage
ment, and it was accordingly decI-
ded that both committees would
report back to their respective prln-
cipals stating the full circumstances
regarding action by the Legislature
as we'll as the enormous amount OF
money required. Those in atten--
dance at the meeting were Messrs.
J. C. Dupont, President Police Jury,
Terrebonne and Messers Charles V.
Moore and F. J. Guidry members oI
that body, together with Sheriff
Connolly; Dr. P. H. Tetreau and
Hon. II. N. Coulon, representing
the Lafourche Police Jury and

The town council of Washington
La. found an excellent way of
repudiating an appointment by
the Governor that they did not
endorse. The Governor appointed
one man marshal, despite recon-
mendations sent in by the coun-
ell and citizens for the appoint
ment of another. The salary of
the town marshal was then re-
duced to one dollar per month,
and the individual they wanted
appointed was elected private
watchman at salary of thirty
per month. truly there are
more ways than one of killing a
lcat without shooting it.

OF a substantial majority of the good
people of Vermont, irrespective of
parties.
Gov. Mead has called your attention
to the proposed amendment to our
federal constitution authorizing the
levy Of an income tax by the federal
government, without reference to
population. I regard this as one of
the most important. perhaps it may
be said 10 be the most important mat
ter. which will come before you for
consideration during the present ses-
sion. I have listened with closest at
tention 10 the very able discussion in
the national Senate on this most i'm

" convinced that either through an
income tax or by way OF a larger tax
upon lnheritances, the time has now
arrived when the expense of conduct
/ ing our public affairs should be borne
/ to a greater extent than they are to
day. by accumulated personal wealth.
The real question which this Legisla-
ture must pass upon Is, Shall we
( continue TO reserve for the use and
benefit Of our own state such powers
Of taxation as we have not already re-
/ linoulshed. or shall we concede TO the
federal government a further right Of
! taxation as contemplated by the pro-
posed mendment?" The Justice Of

street, this city, late yesterday was car
ried into the office of DR.. A. A. Null

from a cart in Harrison, He was
standing at the back of the wagon
when the end of the vehicle suddenly
slipped and came down upon his head.
Fellow workmen picked him up and
carried him to DR.. Mulligan's office.
The physician took about a dozen
stitches in the youths scalp and had
also to stitch the semi-severed ear.
Raphael never WINGED throughout the
painful operation. DR.. Mulligan was
surprised at the pluck displayed by the
youngster.
