BUYING AT HOME.

Loyal citizens should De
interested in home affairs.
The community that is good
enough for US to live in is
good enough for us to buy in.
II We wish to buy our goods
in another town, why do we
not 90 there to liveY
Our city is just whal we
make it. Therefore we
should not pull it down, but
strive always to build it up.
Every dollar we spend at
home stays at home
and works for its wei
fare; therefore it is our duty
to spend most of our money
in our community.
If we buy at home our
merchants will be more pros
porous and will help to make
The city prosperous. They
can afford to better the con-
dit:ons of their stores and to
hire more people to work for
them. Where much labor Is
in demand there, we find
growing community. People
from neighboring towns,
knowing that our town at
fords much labor. will natur-
ally locate here. Thus our
community will not only be-
come more prosperous but
will also gradually grow in
population.
Our merchants are inter-
ested in all our public az
fairs, When III luck, be.
reavement or misfortune
comes, the men we buy OF
are here with a kindly greet
ing, their words of cheer and
Their pocket-book. if need be.
Would foreign merchants do
this? If we should ask a fes=
eign merchant ia donate 4
small amount Of money for
charitable purpose in New
iberia, he would tell us to
90 to our home merchants.
Furthermore. our me. chants
help in supporting schools,
churches, lodges, and even
our homes. They donate
much money for charitable
purposes. In view Of all
these things ought we not to
show our appreciation by pat
ronizing thema
Our merchants pay their
share of the town, city and
state taxes. An estimate has
been made to the effect that
merchants Of towns and viii
lagos now pay 30 Per cent Of
the taxes, and il the big mail
order stores succeed in des-
troying this source of tax
revenue the merchants share
of the tax must be paid by
us. We are thus deliberately
seeking to increase our taxes
by destroying local merchants
through mail order house pat.
ronage.
We should believe in trans
acting business with our
home merchants. Have we
! not produce Of our own to sell
AMI do we not expect them to
buy of usi Even If we are
j not merchants we expect them
to employ us if we ask for
employment.

6uQeO " Wu1Cu - cuuA 80 ~
5000 on July 1st, 1911, for the
publication Of the Trolley Ordi-
nance, a total of $131.0O during
the year 1911 for public printing
for the City Of New iberia alone ;
to say nothing Of Job printing
bills bearing date Of February
LIST, 1911, amounting to $1O5. As.
And let me here relate that Mr..
Willard is under contract to pub
lish the minutes, ordinances, ETC.,
for the City at 1880 per annum.
Mark you! not $1,000 but $500
per annum. This sum having been
granted by the Council on his bid
when he well knew that no other
paper was to be competitor. II
will thus be seen that the SIS 90
contract, with accessories) nets
the official printer the very re-
spectacle sum Of $311.45 for his
years work in the public interest.
This may mot be much in the line
Of. Political Economy; but GER
ta:nly spells personal profit to the
favored one. Had this contract
been awarded to the Iberian, the
delinquent tax advertisements for
the entire Parish ct the regular
rate would have Melted its Editor
several times the above figures.
In giving out the contract, the
gentlemen Of the Jury no doubt
took this into consideration as also
the fact that the Enterprise having
. larger circulation would be read
by more citizens and result in a
greater good to the Parish.
In conclusion permit me, in my
own behalf and on behalf Of the
Police Jury, to assure Mr.. Mil
lard that Economy IS and will
continue to be the watchword Of
this administration; and that
while errors may be committed,
the awarding Of the printing con-
tract 10 The Enterprise Is not one
in the opinion Of.

unselfish and public spirited mo-
tives; INDUCES in criticism OF the
Police Jury for having selected
YOUR Sournal as the official organ
of the Parish, and incidently, vol

free lecture to the Secretary on
the subject of Political Economy.
Noy Mr.. Editor; as Secretar.s
to the Police Jury, am not only
willing but anxious to receive adj
vice and assistance in arriving at
the best methods of conducting
the public affairs entrusted to me;
and i now pledge my every ef-
fort towards the accomplishment
Of that very feat which Mr.. Nil. !.
lard so ably expresses that Of
making every dollar Of the public
treasure buy as much as would
the dollar Of a private indlvid-
ual." Unfortunately for me, my
education was received In a dill
ferent school from that ct my
critic and; terseness was mot oil

may be in a measure compensat-
ed for, however by other things
taught me chief among which, is
the Importance of telling 9 WHOLE

Had Mr.. Willard learned this les
son, he would not have said that
the Enterprises bid was for 25e
per one hundred words against

year. quote from the original
