ALL HAIL TO GOVERNOR HALL

ALL HAIL lO GUtERNUR HALL
The inauguration of Judge l.. E.
Hall as the Governor Of the State OF
Louisiana for the term of four years
is an event of greater Significance
than has been generally credited to
such functions.
The inauguration of Governor is
always of interest, especially in the
present needs of the State when a
strong man of broad Democratic
views has been called by the people
to assume the functions and the re-
sponsibiIity of this office he did not
seek but which was fairly thrust
upon him.
In assuming this trust at the
hands of the people, at the very
initiation of his incumbency, he has
demonstrated that he is man.
In his message, which is given in
full, are suggestions and recommen-
dations which should appeal to
practical good sense of the General
Assembly.
The message is not oyerweighted
with verbose nor bombastic eX-
pressions, but is statesmanlike, and
deals with subjects of vital concern
to the State and its people.
This message of Governor Hall
should be perused with all due dill
gence by every citizen of the State
who can read, and those who can
not read should have it read to
them.
Without hesitation and in words
which are. in no sense apologetic, he
strikes boldly at the pernicious sys-
etm of the lobby which must be sup
pressed.
One of his recommendations is the
proposal OF a constitutional conyen-
tion, the purpose of which is to con
slider the problem Of fair and just
assessment of the. taxable property
OF the State.
Under the present system the as
sessments are unequal and unfair
and the burden of taxation is borne
by the limited in means while CAPT
fal and wealth escape on valuations
which are preposterous. In brief, ii |
is the small taxpayers who contri
butte beyond their means and the
equity of reason to the maintenance
of the government.
AS TO the construction of levees,
Governor Hall favors Federal con
troll which is sound and practicable
and through which the greatest
safety may be afforded to the dwell
ers along the banks of the Missis-
sippi river and the thousands of
people who are threatened with
overflow from the crevasses and the
breaks of levees.
II will be noted that he views with
favor the system of municipal gov
ernment which has been success
fully and efficient wherever it hasl
been tried intelligently.
1t may be noted that he has not |
failed to assert his views on the pri-
mary and the general election laws.
Indeed, he has submitted a message
which is terse, clear and forceful
in its every intent and meaning.
With the Inauguration of Gov
ernor Hall, who is pledged to sub
stantial and practical form, there
comes the dawn of great and better
things for the good of the State.
This Inauguration of this man who ,
represents the people, gives the as !
surrance OF progressive admins 1
tration. Being aligned in thought |
with the events of the future, Gov
ernor Hall will not fail to grasp ev-
cry opportunity that will rebound
TO the welfare of Louisiana and tol
his credit.
All hail to Governor Hall. We ac-
claim him with satisfaction and
pledge him our earnest and best eff
Forts. i

man to provide home for his family
SO it is patriotic duty of the United
States to make homes for its people

our people have been moving into

there. 1t is just as wrong for nation
with unused lands to drive it's people

it is for a man with health and
strength to leave his family without

1t is sad commentary on the work
of our government that, of the total
revenue for 1910, ST. out of each 500
was used for military purposes and
only 81. IS out of each 500 to aid in
the development of our agriculture,
which is the foundation of our wealth;
and that for good roads, so important
to our farmers, only two cents out of
each 500 of revenue was appropriated.

the waste lands of Louisiana, Ar
kansas. Mississippi and other South
ern States. Although the government
has spent over 500. 600, 600 in putting
water on lands in the Northwest at
$35 an acre it has not shown much
interest in taking the water off the
swamp lands of the South at cost of
from $40 to SIS an acre. These lands
when drained will yield annually crops
worth three times as much per acre
as the average in the United States.
Such land when drained and cleared
would cost about $25 an acre and
when cultivated its value would easily
be 800 an acre. There are %, 600, OOO
acres of swamp land in the Southern
States of the Mississippi valley worth
today about $500, OOO.OO which when
drained would be worth at least 49,
600, 600, 600.
Farmers, and not military power.
must restore our economic balance.
The politicians pour out the govern
ment's money to build fighting ma
chimes and starve the agriculturist.
A forty acre farm of reclaimed valley
land will comfortably support a
family. 1t costs $55, 900 to make a
twelve-inch gun. The money that
goes to pay for this gun would reclaim
4, 500 acres of land and provide homes
for 500 people. When all the guns
on all the battleships are shot off once
the government blows off in noise and
smoke $3.50, 600. This would reclaim
more than IL. 600 acres of land and
give homes to 1850 people. The
money consumed in powder is lost to
all future. The farmers who buy the
reclaimed land must pay the govern
ment back in ten vars, so it does not
cost the government anything to build
up the country by helping the farmer.
We should make more homes and not
so many fighting machines.
1t is not the amount OF vegetables,
dairy products and other food stuffs
which farmer produces that fattens
his bank account; it is the prices he
can get for them and the waste he can
cut out between the farm and the
table.

Government Neg|ecting the Farmer

by irrigation costing from $50 to S25
while In the rich valley of the Mis-
sissippi River it requires only from
$40 to SIS an acre to take the water
off.
The farmer has done ouly one-half
his duty to himself and family when
he has raised crop. 1t is equally
important that he understand the
market channels through which his
products pass after he ships them and
that he may receive the best possible
returns for his labor. The cost of
getting food supplies to the railroad
over bad country roads and of getting
such supplies to the homes in the
cities is out of all proportion to the
railroad charge for transportation.
To help cut down the big expense of
bad country roads to the farmers, the
government provides little over
800. 900 year and buys battleships
for $40. OOO.0OO
The value of farm products in the
United States last year averaged about
$500 for each member of a farming
family This means that $500 had to
clothe, feed, educate and provide
everything for one person on the
average farm besides paying taxes,
help, new buildings, machinery and
tools, repairs, feed and care of animals
and general upkeep of the farm. This
| is small return. The farmer bitches
up early, works long hours, feeds
late. Unlike others, he cannot work
eight or nine hours a dav and quit.
For century our government has
looked with indifference at the rich
swamp lands of the Southern States
while England has been furnishing it's
money and credit to aid Egypt to re-
claim waste lands in the valley of the
Nile 1000 miles away. The need of
more acreage under cultivation in the
Mississippi valley to provide homes
for thousands of those now huddled
in the cities and to produce more
food and clothing should cause our
govern ment to take deep interest in

Benjamine q. Yoakum, of the
Frisco Railroad lines is one of the
transportation authorities who realize
the possibilities and shortcomings of
the American farmer. The Ranch
has at different times published
several of Mr.. Yoakum's articles, and
they are so full of information and
make so strong plea for better farm
ing methods that we are always pleas
ed TO publish them. He says:
1t requires the same intelligent
work to develop the soil to its fullest
capacity as it does to build up
manufacturing establishment. To
build up the country rapidly and
successfully we need systematic team
work. No one horse can move the
heavy load, but when the full team 60
against their collars the wheels begin
to turn.
Millions have been saved in econ
omies in distribution in manufacture
ing, while but little attention in the
same way has been extended in the
distribution of the products of agri-
culture.
The great purchasing power of the
world comes from the soil. Each
dollar increase in the products per
acre of cultivated land in this country
means $3.50, 600, 00O-an average of S.
for every man, woman and child in
the United States.
Germany was cultivating it's land
before America was discovered, yet
its average yield of wheat last year
was 1917 bushels to the acre ours was
IA bushels. Ii our farmers had farm
ed and treated their soil as the
Germans did, last years wheat crop
would have yielded them 5000, 900, 900
more than it did and we would have
raised 200 bushels of potatoes to the
acre instead of only 107. This diff
ference of 102 bushels to the acre
would have meant $780, 600, 600 more
to our farmers on potatoes alone.
