GOV. Dix AND GOV, SANDERS
A Comparison Mist Striking-Irl Their
Stand on the Proposed Income Tax.

In the Mer Rouge Democrat of recent
date, Capt c. c. Davenport, who is a
thoroughbred and is aligned for the
right, draws comparison between Gov
ernor Dix of New York and Governor
Sanders of Louisiana, which may be
read with interest:
"At Albany, New York, Dix, the new
Democratic Governor of New York,
took the oath of office. In his message
to the Legislature he said: "A startling
| tendency of late is to increase annual
expenditures both of moneys raised by
taxation and of moneys borrowed by the
issue of bonds. Excessive taxation is
next door to criminality, for it inva-
riab1y breeds extravaganza, waste and
criminal corruption
''The proposed amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution permitting the imposi-
ton by Congress of an income tax is
recommended by Governor Dix. Election
of United States senators by a popular
vote is also favored.
This message may be set down as a
warning to the people of New York
Sanders of Louisiana, when before
the people, made promise to bring
about every reform demanded by the
people. Since his Inauguration he has
violated promises made by creating
more offices, more boards, higher sal
aries to officials, and inaugurated poll
cies that at the end of his administra-
ton will have made the State financial
ly embarrassed.
Governor Dix favors the proposed
amendment to the Federal Constitution
permitting the imposition of an income
tax. This tax, if imposed, would make
the wealthy corporations that are now
lodging the payment of taxes bear a
portion of the burdens of government
expenses. This proposed amendment,
when up for passage before Congress,
received the vote of every Democrat in
Congress. 1t was regarded as DEM
ocratic measure to equalize taxation.
Last June, when it came up for passage
in the Louisiana Legislature, Governor
Sanders lobbied against the passage of
the bill and he did have influence
enough to prevent its passage in the
Senate, but it was passed in the House
This is history that can be read in the
journal of the Senate and House of the
Louisiana Legislature session of 1910.
The real truth is that Our Governor is a
corporation lawyer and campaign fund
was put UP by the corporations in 1908
to help elect him Governor. If Jared
Y. Sanders should ever become a Unit
ed States senator and he voted against
any bill that every other Democrat
voted for, could he any longer be set
down as Democrat?"

Eugene Henard, architect of the city
Of Paris, purposes converting the roofs
of houses in Paris, London, New York
and other great communities to be
used as landing places for aeroplanes.
They can be decorated, he suggests,
with shrubbery and flower beds.
sit soon will be absolutely neces.
sary," he says, ''for all large cities to
erect as landmarks large towers or
lofty spires of very distinct shape
and furnished at night with beacons
at the top. When aeroplanes and bal
looms have been brought under proper
control aviators will fly from one roof
terrace to another, starting and land
ing as they please.
Special Elevators Needed.
Each building will have to have big
elevators capable Of raising the ma.
chimes ready to start and to take them
to their hangar on their return.
'Aeroplanes will be divided into two
classes-light ones Of the bee type and
heavy ones of the bird type, or dirigi-
BILE balloons, and unless we wish to
retrograde to the prehistoric period of
cave jewellers and unless we armor our
terraces like battleships we will hay,
to have aerial police to regulate the
movements of flying machines.
And the great capitals should have
structures arising to height Of 500
meters to be used also for wireless
telegraphy. The conquest of the air
will bring with it peace and wealth.
The cities of the future more than
those of the past will be capable of
transformation and establishment. In
them will be erected magnificent tow
ers to call the flying giants from all
points of the horizon. Perhaps these
beacons eventually may arise to at
tack the clouds themselves"

sciously followed Mr.. Henard's advice
This is twenty-five story hotel on
the Chicago lake front, the roof of

Mr.. Henard proposes also that great
cities handle their ground traffic by
building one street above another He
ridicules the tenacity with which pub
lie officials cling to the idea that the
bottom of the street must be on a level
with the ground in its original condi-
ton.
He suggests starting with the oppo-
site idea, with the pavement and car
riage way as a bridge roadway. Thus
streets with very heavy traffic might
have three or four superimposed plat
forms, according to requirements.

STOP TALKING, CURE NERVES

italian Doctor.

italian Doctor.
Women stand little show Of curing
themselves of nerves and temper, ae-
cording to DR.. Enrico Serafni of Italy,
who says silence is the only cure for
neurasthenia and all nervous disor-
ders..
NERVOUS depression and neurasthe,
MIA are due, it results after diligent re
search, said DR.. Serafni, to tend
ency to talk too much. Now, to talk
does not mean to sound letters, but a
mental effort which excites the entire
nervous system. The effort of think
ing, of making up phrases, of listening
to and forming arguments with hear
ers, of being attentive to them, of co.
ordinating the thread of conversation
all these things intensity general
awakening of the person which finally
results in nervous breakdown.
Persons who are not loquacious,
medical records show, have always
been remarked for their good health,
and this silence is directly related with
the first order a doctor gives his pa
tient that of absolute quiet"

The curtain was woven especially at

It is the largest single piece of tap

OF painting the cartoon was begun
two years ago in the studio of NJ. Lee

A. Smith, superintendent of the Louis
lana Anti-Saloon League, was heard
twice Sunday on the plans for Statewide

and endeavor to show. the people the
harm being done by the sale of liquor
Another plan is to organize in every
portion of the State, hold meetings and
distribute literature and receive reports

A third plan is to have the law ell
forced in regard to the selling of intoxi-
cants and to make every retailer and
wholesaler, blind tiger, etc, respect the
law, and to prosecute all guilty parties
Dr. Smith said a fourth plan is to raise
the necessary funds for waging an &C

against liquor selling. He said that a
substantial amount is needed and unless
the money is Forthcoming no campaign
could be prosecuted.

WANTS BIG FAMILIES SLICED

Children For Cheap Labor.

Children For Cheap Labor.
Thomas Nixon Carver, professor OF
political economy at Harvard, takes
issue with those who advocate the
raising of large families among the
masses Professor Carver says:
Foxes think large families among
the rabbits highly commendable,
Those employers who want large sup
plies of cheap labor, those military
leaders who want plenty of cheap food
for gunpowder and those politicians
who want plenty of voters and rapid
multiplication among the poor, agree
in commencing large families and
classes
What is really needed, however, are
smaller families and slower multiplied
ton among those who are least able
to support large families, in order that
laborers may became scarce and hard
to find. Then wages viii be high.
'eWhat Is needed still more are larger
families and more rapid multiplication
among the employing classes in order
that employers may become abundant
and easy to find That will also raise
wages and reduce profits. The joint
result of both processes will be less
unequal distribution of men, accom-
panied by less unequal distribution
of wealth."
