LIST OF CLUB 6I0NERS.

On Saturday last a call was is
sued for the organization of an
Aswell Club in New iberia; and
on Monday evening an enthusiasts
tic crowd Of DR.. Aswell s. support
ers Of the Democratic nomination
for Governor in the coming prl-
maries, assembled in the. City Hall
and organized the New lberi
Democratic Aswell Club.
An effective address was deliv-
cred by Mr.. Paul Sompayrac, in
which he dwelled on Mr.. Aswelts
claims to recognition by the peo-
pie Of his home State; that his
talents have made him national
reputation. and that even within
the last few months he has been
called upon for advice and to aid
in the constructive work OF the
school systems in States so far re
moved as are New Mexico and
Wisconsin. He also directed at
tention to Mr.. Aswell's position
that our tax system should be
changed so as to require the State
to collect all of its taxes from
railroads and other public service
corporations. supplementing this
by tax on mining property and
possibly a proper inheritance tax;
and showing that this system
would relieve the lands, improve
ments, goods and personal prop
city of our people from all tax
alton, save that to support the
local government of their parish
or city. He also showed that
this would enable the people Of
each community to assess theI
own property on such basis as
they deem proper without inter
ference from Baton Rouge, and
that the plan includes the abOli-
ton of the sO-called State Board
of Equalizers. This address was
enthusiastically applauded, and
on it's conclusion the organization
of the Club was effected. r. s.
