LOUISIANA NEEDS A BANK
GUARANTY Law

Says Mr.. John Jordan of Baton
Rouge writing to the Times-Democrat,
in regard to the hearing before the
committee with reference to the pro-
posed bank guaranty law:
"Mr. Wexler made a serious in
dlctment of the small country banks,
stating positively that great num-
Der of them were doing dishonest,
illegitimate banking business, and
that the supporters of this proposed
law sought to make the large city
banks responsible for them.
"To this criticism took issue
with Mr.. Wexler, stating that the
people in the country were from
necessity compelled to do business
with the smaller country banks, and
that we, as citizens, believe that the
management of the country banks is
equally as efficient and as honest as
the larger city banks. Therefore,
thought his position in this particu
lar grossly unjust to the country
banks, coming from the lead of one
Of the largest city banks, but fur
nished strong proof that we need 6
guaranty bank law. If, as Mr.. Wex
Ter said, we have lot Of wildcat
illegitimate banking institutions il
this State, the depositors would Ger
tainly appreciate the information hi
claims to have, and the State banl
examiner would do we'll to ascertain
at once from Mr.. Wexler the banks
referred to by him throughout tn
State as a protection to their depos
itors, as such a condition would, il
my opinion, deserve immediate al
tention. This is additional evidenc
that we need a guaranty bank law il
this State if the same be true"

EDIsoN's USE FOR MONEY.

n. o. Item:
Thomas A. Edison denies that he
has given a large sum of money to
endow technical school.
"Let the multimillionaires who
have nothing else to do with their
money give to colleges if they want
to-" he says: Il have better use
for mine"
In editoriaIly commenting on this
statement, the Wall Street Journal
said: "This is strictly true. No man
has added more to the wealth of
the world, or created more avenues
for vast investment than Edison; yet
his personal return has been compar
atively small. There are to-day hun
dreds of immensely wealthy men in
all lands who have acquired their for
tunes from industries which the gen
Jus of Thomas A. Edison brought into
being or developed
We wonder what the outcome might
have been, had Edison been differ
emit type of man. Had he possessed
| the mind of financier with that of
the scientist, no one can calculate
what his wealth might be to-day, but
would he have been a great inventor?
His graphophones, moving picture
i devices, or any of the hundreds OF
inventions he has patented in the
) last decade represent heavy expen-
= ditures of money, and the world has
, been made so much the richer.

SETTING THE STANDARD.

Plaquemine Champion:
The st. Francisville True Demo
crat, and a good many people, are of
the opinion that the man who aspires
for election to the Congressional
seat made vacant by the lamented
death of Bob Wickliffe, must meas
ure up to the standard and really be
able to fill it in every way, since
that is the kind of man the people
are demanding and will try to Sc
cure. However, the paper says it
took fifty years to discover a man OF
Bob's calibre, and intimates that it
may take as many more to replace
him. If this is a fact, many of lis
will never live to see it. While
most of the men mentioned as as
piring to succeed him are compare
lively new to the people of the dis
trict, it will not take them long t
size them up and choose between
them. Some people are Of the opin
ion that it is easy to replace an!
! man, but we are not of that way o
thinking. Some times it is compare
1 lively easy, then again it is a prett,
hard task. However, the people vii

PER|SHABLE
COMMODITIES

A bill that would greatly assist in
the vexatious transportation question,
as it relates to the dairying and
truck industries, is the one, intro
duced by Senator Barrow, and which
has passed the Senate by vote of
"a to 0; 6 absent The bill reads:
"An Act, relative to shipment of
perishable farm products in the State
of Louisiana, and fixing a penalty
for it's violation.
Section /. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Louisiana, That railroads and other
public carriers of freight to and from
market in this state, in their US
ual receipts or bills of lading issued
to shipper of perishable farm pro-
ducts, shall clearly set forth there
in the day and hour when such
freight was received far shipment,
the kind, and general condition of
the same.
"Section 2. Be it further enact
ed, ETC., That it shall be the duty
of the carrier on the arrival of such
freight at it's point of destination, to
Immediately notify the consignee in
writing on red piece Nof paper of
such arrival, and to clearly set forth
therein the day and hour, the kind
and general condition of such ship
ment. Said notice shall also en-
| body and set forth the day and hour
said freight was received for ship
ment, and how long it was in tran
sit. It shall further be the duty of
the carrier to Immediately forward
to the consignor of such freight
duplicate of the notice given to the
cOnsignee, as provided herein.
Section 3. Be it further enact
! ed, etc., That any public carrier of
freight doing business in this State,
who shall violate any Of the pro-
visions of this Act, shall forfeit and
pay a fine of not less than twenty
five dollars ($25.O0), nor more than
one hundred dollars ($1OO00), recoV-
d cradle before any court of compe-
tent jurisdiction.
:, "Section 4. Be it further enact
ed, ETC., That all laws or parts of
1 laws in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed"
This bill needs no explanation. Its
provisions are obvious in meaning
and effect. 1t would, if finally pass
!, ed, provide shippers with a speedy
1 means of redress, the evidence be-
' ing furnished by the defendants them
: selves.
e The bill is in fact too good to be
r true. The railroad lobby must have
been "asleep at the switch" in al
lowing it to pass the Senate. II

From private letter from a friend,
we excerpt few details that will in
