HON. L. E. THOMAS
Is a Candidate for Reelection to the
Legislature.

Hon. l.. E. Thomas has announced
his candidacy for the legislature,
where during its past session OF
four years he demonstrated frequ-
emily. that he is the friend of the
people.
His record is as an open book.
He has kept faith with his con-
stituency.
He has advocated with zeal, the
measures he believed were best for
the welfare of the State and in the
same spirit he has opposed extrava-
gance or the misrepresentation OF
the funds of this State
If the Game Commission with all
its sinecures prevailed, it was be-
Icause he was on the side of the min
ority and could not defeat it.
His prominence in opposition to
the Marks bill was notable. This is
the bill which creates an education
al oligarchy in Louisiana by vest
ing the control Of the public schools
in a State Board of Education, at
Baton Rouge, and in relieving the
parish school board, elected by the
public of the power to select the
teachers of their parish schools.
But it would seem unnecessary to
multiply in detail the record of Mr.
Thomas which will bear the test of
the closest and most impartial scru-
tiny.
If we would gauge Mr.. Thomas
by his record, the logical conclusion
is that he should be fully entrust-
ed with another term of four years,
has been an active, conscientious
and able representatives of the peo-
pie.
We should not hesitate to recog-
nize one who has been faithful and
loyal in his duties and the citizens
of Shreveport and Caddo parish will
unquestionably return Mr.. Thomas
to the legislature by a handsome
majority.

MONROE Is CITED
Municipal Ownership OF the Public
Utilities Successful and Profit
able.

For the purpose of influencing
, the voters of Shreveport against
the municipal ownership of the ell
ectric lighting plant Monroe has
been reported as being taxed to
death.
The average property owner can
be ''frightened'' or ''intimidated' in
to an irrational being by the cry of
taxed to DEATH
In reply to a number of mis-
statements in the Journal of recent
date the Monroe Star ex-
plaias:
while we do not think it worth
while to go into details, for these
matters We're threshed out time and
again during the recent municipal
election. but when the Journal is
made to say that Monroe is paying
more taxes than Shreveport or 9TH
! er towns of a similar class, the facts
are all that is necessary to refute
such a statement. The taxpayers
of the city Of Monroe are today pay
ing exactly 25 mills. This covers
every Tax Of whatever nature, ex-
cept the State tax, which is five
mills. It includes improvement tax
es and special taxes of every kind.
Ten mills of this % mills will lapse
in four years, and then the taxpay-
ers of the city of Monroe will pay
only fifteen mills.
The city of Shreveport is today
paying p 1-2 mills, and mills State
! tax, making the total 81 1-2. Shreve-
port property owners are paying
Y l-2 mills more than Monroe
''The Monroe Municipal Street
! 900. The system was built on cred
| it, the indebtedness to run for ten
years. Up to the present time, 500,
900 of that indebtedness has been
paid, and in four years more the en-
tire debt will have been liquidated.
The annual statement fer the
year ending April 80, 1910 showed
that the city of Monroe expended
in all. 1926, ,2i3S3. and collected from
every source. 1922, 553.88. leaving a
net balance on hand of Si00,340.05.
/ lfie financial statemnt for the year
ending April 80, 1910, showed ex-
peRditures amounting to 1897 ,978.42,
! receipts SAL 1925, leaving net
balance of st03, 1888, exactly So, 433.
SO more than the year previous"
Such is the authoritative state
ment by the Monroe News-Star.
Instead of being a discredit to
municipal ownership of the public
utilities, it is an evidence CT sub
stantial progressiveness and pros
perity
Ii Shreveport could as Monroe
boast of its ownership of the street
railways, the gas and electric plant
and the water works, there would
not now be any contention of NUM-
cipal lighting in Shreveport.
Is it not true that the citizens of
Shreveport are awakening to the
importance and the necessity of ac-
quiring such of the public utilities
as they can secure, or is Shreveport
to be doomed to the perpetual con-
troll by the private interests of the
the utilities, such as light and wa
ter.
When the problem of electric light
is within reach of satisfactory
settlement through the voting of a
bond issue, is this opportunity to be
permitted to slip from our grasp?

Marseilles, France.-Fire broke out in
the ammunition hold of the French bat

minutes later. Nearly 500 of the crew

The battleship was built about five
years ago and was a sister ship of the
Verite, which met with misfortune at
the maneuvers few days ago, going
on the rocks and suffering considerable
damage before being pulled off.
The Liberte was of about $4,000 tons
displacement, and carried four 12-inch
guns and 10 eight-inch guns. She had
horsepower of $4,000, and a speed of
10 knots. Her crew numbered 1893 men.

Price of Paper Goes Up.

Chicago Proposed increases in the
price of white, print and other grades
of paper were discussed and virtually
agreed upon here at private meeting
of middle-western Independent paper
manufacturers.
One of the manufacturers said: "The
recent defeat of the proposed reel
procity treaty between Canada and the
United States will stimulate the manu-
facture of paper in this country, where
as, if the treaty had been ratified
Canadian manufacturers literally could
have wiped us out. AS it stands now,
the Canadians can compete with us
even with tariff rates.
"The battle has been fought and lost
and prices may now be considered firm,
with chances for going higher. Prices
have been too low and it is time for
reaction and a steady market"
