WILL ORGANIZE
farmers CLUBS
SECRETARY COOPER HAS A
PRACTICAL PLAN FOR BETTER
ING THE CONDITIONS IN THE
RURAL DISTRICTS THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.

''The North Dakota Better Farm
ing association will assist in every
way that it can for the formation
of farmers clubs during the present
fall and winter" said Thomas Coop
er, secretary and director OF n as
ISOLATION to The Forum this morning.
THE association has issued a bull
letin looking to this matter" conttn-
ued Mr.. Cooper. ut is put out to
give some idea of the method by which
these clubs are formed and conducted
experience has taught us. not only
in North Dakota, but In other states,
that such clubs are of great benefit,
and WELD a great influence in the
community in which they are located.
Just Like City Clubs.
These clubs of farmers expect to
work much in the same as do
the commercial clubs and other civic
organizations. of the city and from
which some concerted action can be
formed. The chief reasons for such
are educational, social and n
nanciaL. and these form the purpose OF
almost every club of a similar char
acter and are vastly important in
every country community. Owing to
the fact that country communities are
oftentimes isolated during the win

getting the farmers and their wives
and their children into closer rela-
ton for the mutual benefit OF all.

"Such gatherings must of necessity
have beneficial effect on every coTnun~
ity in which they take place. It Will

association will do all in its power TO

Special Session
Meets Aug. II.

Governor Hall has issued his
proclamation calling special
session of the Legislature for
Monday, Aug, 18th, and combining
it to the taxation problems ex-
clusively. The joint resolution
which will be submitted to the
Legislature by the special State
Tax Commission, which has been
in session at Baton Rouge for the
past four weeks, is a voluminous
document and proposes more
radical changes in our assessment
and taxing systems than have
ever been proposed. Some of the
propositions are revolutionary,
and some would, if adopted, drive
industry and commerce from the
State and prevent new enterprises
from coming in. The Picayune of
date August 3rd, contained the fol-
lowing able editorial anent the
meeting of the Tax Commission,
wherein our contention on the
subject are clearly defined:
"The revolutionizing of the
whole system oftaxation in a con-
sentative state like Louisiana il too
big a proposition to be considered
in a short extraordinary session,
hence the members of the General
Assembly would do we'll to insist
upon a careful examination and
discussion of every item proposed
by the Tax Commission and to
grant full and untrammeled hear
ings on every point. One of the
underlying ideas of the Tax Com
mission appears to be that it
would be good thing to saddle
all the expense Of running the
STATE on the corporations and
great business enterprises. That
idea has long since been explod-
ed. Every increase in the tax on
corporations, banks and great en-
terprises means an increase in the
cost Of living for the masses, as
the people generally. in the last
analysis, must pay the increased
tax in the shape of higher rents,
increased cost of commodities and
higher rates for money. If the
banks, for instance, must pay a
high rate of taxation on their as
sets they will increase the rate of
interest charged borrowers, and
merchants, being forced to pay
more for money, will increase
their charges for advances to far
mers. The tax on trading in fu-
lures and in stocks and bonds will
simply drive business out of the
state. The Picayune would warn
the General Assembly to go slow
in adopting the revolutionary
propositions of the Tax Commits
sion en- bloc, or the whole state
may have reason to repent that
the experiment of tax revision
was ever tried"

truly with Democratic doctrine.
Yes, let the people select their
public servants. 1t is the safest
rule. 1t is the rule that the BAN
NER has always advocated. 1t is
the rule that the reformers clam
ored for, and on their faith prom
i-cd the dear people they would
enforce if they were put in power.
The people trusted them. and
have put them in control Of affairs
of the State. 1t may be exped-
lent, but it ir not fair or correct to
deceive the people, and it will not
win in the end. The people de-
mand that you fulfill your prom
Use, and let them select their pub
lie servants. Why does Mr..
Burke believe that the "corpora-
tons would come nearer controll-
ing district elections" than the
people?

A communication was read from

Mr.. Milling stated that he had the
opinion of Attorney General Pleas
ants, that it was not lawful for the
Police Jury to contract with the Dis
trict Attorney to pay him stated
salary in lieu of fees, nor was it law
full for the Jury to pay him salary
as attorney for the Jury and he there

Let the People
Select.

The Tax Commission, which
has been in session at Baton
Rouge for some time endeavoring
to give Louisiana a better system
of taxation than she now has.
have provided for the selection OF
q board of three. But when the
commission commenced to con-
slider how the selection should be
made there was a wide difference
of opinion amongst them. 1t is
noticeable from the proceedings
of the 9Th inst,, published in the
Daily States, that most of the
prominent members of the Good
Government League, seem to be
unwilling to trust this important
matter to the votes of the people,
although in the State primary they
declared all such matters should
be left to the people. We quote
the following from the newspaper
account of the proceedings on the
9Th inst;
.'Mr. Fontenot urged election by the
people declaring that appointment by
the board of three would bring the
corporations into every State cam
paign. He believed election by the
people would bring the issue into the
open, and prevent or initiate against
corporation influence.
"The people may make mistakes at
first" he said "but only by trial and
experience can they learn to use new
tools"
'sMr. Burke thought the corpora
tions would come nearer controlling
district elections than election by the
board of three
Mr.. Fontenot's position is the
only one urged that squares itself

The District
Judgeship Race,

On the first page of the BANNER
in this issue will be found extracts
from fully half the newspapers
published in the Parish of st.
Mary, which are supporting the
candidacy of Hon. Thos. NJ. Mill
ling for the District Judgeship.
These extracts, coming as they
do from those who are always
anxious to further the public good
regardless of selfish benefits,
plainly denote that Mr.. Milling is
held in the proper esteem by his
fellow.parishners and that his
eminent public services in the
past and unquestioned high for
ensic ability are justly and fully
appreciated. AS district attorney
during the term just expiring,
serving the people of st. Mary in
a manner to merit the appobatlon
of all and upholding the majesty
of the law irrespective of rank,
color or condition. the BANNER
has no hesitancy in saying that
on that record-and that record
alone-he deserves the elevation
he now seeks by a large majority
over his opponent, and there can
be no doubt that all good citizens
and voters will rally to his sup
port on election day-September
3rd. It indeed would be a sad
commentary on the intelligence
and spirit of fair play, and. we
might add, magnanimity Of the
people of our parish at large if a
man of Mr.. Milling's calibre
could not command the support
of a fair share of the newspapers
published in the parish, and the
extracts from our contemporaries
conclusively show that he is get
ting his full share of these.
The BANNER honestly believes
in the enforcement of all just
laws. and likewise believes that
an impartial and efficient Judge
and a vigorous and able district
attorney can do more to secure
happiness and prosperity to the
people than anything else, for
with such men at the helm the
vicious and Objectionable elements
can be held under restraint and
this moral influence becomes a
potent factor in fostering all
worthy and needed developments.
And, so far as concerns the Dis
trict Judgeship, we are entirely
confident that better selection
could not be made to ensure these
ends than the election of Mr.. Mil
ling to the responsible position.
He has served as our district at
torney the past four years and his
administration of the affairs OF
this important Office has been too
successful to need any further
praise on our part-it is admitted
by one and all, the only regret
felt is that he is now seeking to
leave the office for one higher up.
The BANNER strongly recommends
Mr.. Milling's candidacy to the
people in the coming primary.
He is in every way worthy OF
confidence.
