JUDGE O'NIELL WINS.

The immense vote again rendered
Judge O'Niell is another popular pro
test against the renewed attempt
made that the legal fraternity alone
are fitted to select judges for the
commonwealth. This arrogant idea is
put forth by individuals, by legal
gatherings, and occasionally by the
press. In the ONiell-Reid campaign
i was the quiet argument that the
lawyers could best decide, as experts.
Making no allowance for private
grudges or prejudices, this would be
true, but is not true in practice, these
gentlemen being as literally disQual'
flied as the prOletariat by prejudice
At any rate, the people have gone
blitheIy along and voted for the judge
they wanted, undeterred by the more
0" less friendly advice Of the-better,
Qualified-to-decide class.
And it would seem that they have
chosen wisely. A Judge, who has neT-
er had the reversal of criminal
case, and only five civil cases, is
"some Judge"

HOME GOVERNMENT ASSURED.

Perhaps in its home government
feature, the proposed separation Of
taxes will most appeal to the citi-
zen, intelligent and Independent, who
wishes to keep the reins as near at
hand as possible. The State of Lou
isiana first tried the equalization Of
assessments through State Board,
that was expected to succeed in that
task after securing the compilations
from the parish assessors. But q
trial Of eight years has proven how
impossible such equalization is, ey-
en- as other States have discovered.
But the proposal to segregate the
taxes, leaving to the parishes and
towns the sole right to tax certain
most obvious objects of taxation,
while the State taxes more general
sources of revenue, whose values
may be more arbitrarily fixed, wipes
away at one stroke the whole Ques-
ton of the business Of assessments
as affecting state taxes. A parish
may assess its lands as it pleases,
providing only sufficient revenue hy
taxation for actual needs, or it may
assess according to any other econ
omlc plans it has. The matter will
bear no unjust relation to another
parishes, since no other will be af.
feCted either directly or indirectly.
At present, the question of assess
ments may mean that the parishes
are bearing dispropOrtionately their
share of state taxation. While I'M
der the new system, as proposed, it
may occur that a parish rich in rail
ways or natural resources may there
by pay more to the support Of the
government, the very nature of these
sources, being more general in ma
ture, can be more eQuitably taxed by
one commission composed of experts,
than would be the case if the assess
mHnts lay with a home official, who
would not take the broader, all-over-
the'state view.

DAILY PARADE OF STOCK
Will Be Made at State Fair-Niaht
Parade Also Promised.


One of the principal drawing cards
at this years State Fair at Shreveport
will be the parade Of the prize winning
stock. Each afternoon, commencing at
o'clock, there will be a grand parade
in front Of the big new steel grand
stand in which there will be room to
accommodate all those desiring to wit
ness the scene, and each night there
will be a similar parade in the big
coliseum in which there Is a mammoth
arena and elaborate illumination and
plenty Of seats.
Heretofore this parade has proved
popular, even without a coliseum and
with an old grandstand. AS new con-
Veniences have been provided and ar.
TangementS made for a parade at night
as we'll as in the afternoon. this feat
ure Of the fair promises to be more
Of drawing card this year than ever
before
The prize winning cattle, horses and
mules will be shown in these parades.
AS a large number of fine animals are
going to be exhibited, the parades
promise to be participated in by nu.
merous animals as well as those OF
high qualities and beauties
This parade Is told Of in detail in the
catalogue, which Secretary l.. n.
Brueggerhoff will gladly mail any one
asking for it. The fair opens Oct 30
and runs eight days.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

The returns from Tuesdays Con
gressional primary denote the defeat
Cf Ferd C. Claiborne by decisive
vote, yet the followers Of that stall
Wart young Democrat have every rea
son to feel proud of the race 1e
made.
There are several reasons for the
Gcfeat of Mr.. Claiborne, none OF
which bear any reflection upon him
and which by the time another cam
paign rolls around may react to his
benefit.
In the first place Mr. Claiborne Is
a man of limited means, while his
opponent was a man who had con
siderable financial backing. rhe
sworn statements Of the two candl'
dates in the first primary show that
Mr.. Morgan spent over eight times
as much money as did Mr.. Claiborne,
This, Of course, refers only to the
legitimate expenses of the campaign
and not to any Of the large sums
rut out to buy votes in favor of Nor
gan, which was done in parts Of the
district. Neither does it include the
purchase price of the large quaint
ties of whiskey which were sent by
Morgan supporters to dry portions OF
the district.
Another reason that contributed tC
Claiborne's defeat was the fact that
the secretaryship to Mr.. Morgan had
been promised in advance and was
the cause of giving him majority
IN a parish that would otherwise
undoubtedly have gone to Claiborne.
Again, had Mr.. Claiborne been able
to engage his opponent in joint de-
bate in every parish in the district
as he attempted to do, he would have
made a much better showing, for III
one could help recognizing his 81,
periority after a comparison with his
opponent.
Mr. Morgan has reason to be thank
full that he comes from one of the
largest parishes in the district and
that his opponent was unknown in
that section.
There were no contests of any
sort in Mr.. Claiborne's section OF
the district, while there was a sec
ond primary for district attorney in
two cf Mr.. Morgan's parishes, and
the candidacy of Judge Reid to bring
ont the vote.
We are sorry for Mr.. Claiborne IS
defeat but would rather have lost
with him than to have won with
Morgan.

THOSE WHO WILL PAY MORE,

I'VE are told that the State must
have more money, and the tax amend
ment is the scheme by which the
people are to be more heavily tay-
ed Somebody must pay more taxes
if more taxes are to be collected,
In many respects the proposed tax
scheme looks like it is gold brick
handed to the voters. Telling the
voters that they are to be more
heavily taxed and nevertheless will
have to pay less taxes, looks some
what fishy."
This is read in cold print in Lou
isiana newspaper, and is an awful eX-
ample of the undigested stuff which
editors, from prejudice or inertia,
will sometimes permit to slip into
their columns. It is obvious that if
more money is raised, more taxes
must be paid into the State treasury,
but no logical and fair person should
make the statement without the &C
COmpanying remark that the State
proposes in the system of tax reyis-
ion to tighten the burden on The
great mass of taxpayers, by leyyi1g
taxation on other sources, that have
either never borne their just proper
ton of taxation, or have never been
taxed at all.
1t is equally obvious that indtV,d-
uals now paying taxes, say on their
real estate, and who also own an au-
tOmObile, deal in futures, or in
stocks or bonds, will have tO pay
more taxes; and that very large es-
tates must pay a proportiOnate inher-
itanCe tax, but no one would serious
ly question the justice Of this, unless
It be the individuals themselves
that are most concerned, if they be
tightwads, certainly not the man
whose closest acquaintance with
these larger evidences of wealth, is
a whiff of gasoline as the joy-wagon
goes by, or whose modest patrimony
comes within the exempted class.
But even the individual taxpayer
OF larger wealth will profit by the
segregation Of taxes, since if he
does not have to pay both state and
parish taxes on the same property,
the aggregate is bound to be less
than the amount he is now paying.
No system of taxation is perfect,
but any system that seeks to have
the richer man pay his just proper
ton of taxation comes nearer being
perfect than one wherein no success
ful effort is made to reach him for
that purpose.

RAILROAD RATES LOW.
Tickets 20 Be Gold Cheap to Accom-
,ncdata Fair Visitors.

A generosity shown by the railway
companies III the matter ot low :ates
for tickets is going to help in swelling
the crowd at the Louisiana state Fair
this year. The rates are the lowest
that have ever been authorized for the
fair at Shreveport. Secretary Bruce
gerhoff went t. work on his plans ri~it
after the fair closed last year, ana as
a result he is able to make the an
nOunccment tlut extraordinarily low
rates are going to be offered for the
fair this year, from October 80 to No
vember 6. inclusive
These rates will apply on all the rail-
roads entering Shreveport. In every
section there will be the same adv4n-
tages as in the other sections. An un-
usual feature of the rate matter this
year is that the reduced fares will ap-
ply all over Louisiana, something not
allowed heretofore. 1t has also been
arranged for the low rates to apply
from Arkansas. Texas and territory
points within a radius OF 175 miles from
Shreveport.
In order to han;lc the crowds that
Will visit tie fair at Shreveport the
railroads are getting ready to put ex-
ira rolling stock into service. Many
new cars will be used TO accommodate
the PASSENGERS to the fair.
II is also announced that the diff
ferent roads will have excursion days,
when special traits viii be run and
the rate will be lover tian on any other
days.
In giving these reduced rates the rail-
ways have evidenced appreciation Of
the State Fair as all important institu-
ton. There is no doubt that the ar
rangement will prove popular

Louisiana will again take her place

they will in future, those affairs
will be better managed and the chill
