bases, his best mark.
THE amazing thing about Jor-
dan is that, despite his long
service (and he played three years
before he Joined the Crackers. he
is still growing strong.
Last year was his worst in bat
ting and fielding. But his friends
believe, and with good reason. that
his bad showing was due rather to
the friction that attended his dis
missal by Charley Hemphill and his
exile from Atlanta than it was to
any slowing up due to advanced
age.

Dutchman is possessed of a won

low the average height and rather

But Jordan's success comes

amazing willingness and determi-

How is This for Reform?

The great State of Louisiana has ad-
ded $50. 900 to its public printing bill in
order to print the tickets, etc., for
holding primary elections. This light
ems the burden on the politicians and
those running for Office. At the same
time this great State taxes its hard
worked and half-paid school teachers,
or allows it to be done, in shameful
way that borders close on to graft. At
the examination of teachers in the par
ishes of the State, fixed for August
22, %, "a, fee of S.. 90 is to be charg-
ed for the examination of all diplomas
from other States; and for first grade
certificates, 81. 90; second grade, 81. so;
third grade, $1.O0. The State pays q
whole lot of fellows to attend to these
examinations, and it would be matter
of simple justice to charge the teachers
nothing. A great deal has been said
about keeping the schools out of poll
tics, but our system seems to keep up
its machinery to bleed the teachers at
every turbines and assessments if
they don't attend all the Institutes, and
onerous loss and expenses incurred if
they do.

legitimate and proper under the
law, but mark the result. Mr..
Michel ran up the amount collect
ed until it amounted to many
thousands of dollars over and
above his salary, and he was fin
ally forced to turn these fees in
to the State treasury, by the Leg
islature placing his Office on a
salary basis. It was this tran
saction that gave Mr.. Hebert,
the present Secretary of State.
his greatest reason for offering
for election, and on this issue he
won out in the late campaign.
They tell US that California
and some of the other States
have this separation of taxes in
practical operation. It is rather
questionable as to whether or not
the people of Louisiana want to
copy much from California. We
have some very lurid accounts
from that State about unblushing
graft in State and city affairs;
about a fine brave district at
torney who was almost murdered
because he dared to prosecute the
most corrupt and unblushing
scoundrels the sun ever shown
upon; about venality, prostitu-
ton, graft and crimes of all sorts;
about the blowing up of a great
newspaper and the murder of in
nocent men because of the war
between labor and the masses on
one side, as opposed to greed,
graft and the classes on the
other. No, we cannot afford to
approve of this thing simply be-
cause California has adopted it.
We do not say this to be under
stood as opposing the proposition
outright. We are willing to hear
arguments in favor of the segre-
cation plan, if there are any.
We reserve our decision until we
can hear both sides of the case;
but, thus far, we must say that
we have not seen a single salts
factory statement going to show
how the people of Louisiana are
to be benefited by this proposed
change.
The only thing thus far shown
by the tax commission is that the
State will gain in the operation,
and in the parishes there will be
a corresponding loss.

Too Late to Get a Popular Expression.

1880
Representative T. o. Hart sends us
communication from Baton Rouge
this week, which we are publishing
elsewhere in this issue of the Chronicle,
asking that every citizen of Grant
parish" assist him in fighting for the
rights and the best interest of our peo-
pie. 1t strikes us as rather late in the
day for Mr.. Hart to be asking for an
expression from his constituency as to
their views on the proposals of the Tax
Commission. This commission was ap-
pointed two months ago, and last week
finished their session of. two or three
weeks, barely in time to have their
work submitted to the special session
of the Legislature suddenly called to-
gether to put the proposition in the
shape of q constitutional amendment
to be submitted to the people at the
approaching November election. The
work of the Legislature will probably
be definitely determined or completed
by the time Mr. Hart request is made
known to the people of Grant parish.

Among other things upheld" by
Uncle Sans Olympic athletes at Stock
holm was the reputation of the United
State as q nation of ''kidders.''
One Of the most amusing and effec-
tive Of the many good-humored stunts
pulled of at the expense of the foreign
ers was executed by q part Of the
Yankee trap-shooting team. Before
the day of the match, ]. r. Graham,
with Hall, Lyon and Billings, other
members of the trap team, went out to
the shooting grounds for a practice
hour. The party was trailed by Q num-
Der of members of the Russian trap
shooting team, who were anxious to
get q line on the Yankee brand of
Workmanship. Hall scented the Gin
spection," and suggested to Graham
that little scare be handed to the
Cars subjects. So when the practice
began Graham, using Remington-UMC
Arrow Steel-Lined Shells, with which
he shot his way to the worlds iudivid-
ual championship at clay targets a few
days later, started off conservatively
by missing two of the first three tar
gets. This gait looked encouraging to
the Russians, who saw visions of q
first" for their team in the trap
shooting event. Then Graham un-
limbered and broke forty-nine straight.
Hall and Billings each followed by
driving the same American-made shells
to but one miss in fifty, and completed
their strings of one hundred with but
one miss apiece. Graham missed three
in his hundred-"a poor day for him, -
said the press reports.
On the afternoon of the same day the
Slavs officially withdrew from the trap
shooting contest.

Mr.. Hart Has Not Considered the Pro.
posals of the Tax Commission.
Baton Rouge, La, Aug. IA, 1912.
Editor Colfar Chronicle:
Please give me space in your valuable
in the proposed tax commission to write
me personal letter giving their views
on tbs important subject ] must con-
fess l am at sea and am afraid may
make mistake, and as the represents
tive of Grant parish ! want to hear
from my people.
1t is claimed Grant parish will save
more than fifteen thousand dollars il
the new plan be adopted, and the ar
gumehts we are listening to seem con-
vincing. However, we are considering
the source from whence it comes. Mr..
Farrar represents the sulphur mine
people as well as some oil companies.
He owns stock in different corporations
throughout the State and is attorney
for many others, and he being the head
of the proposed tax system we fear
that there is a bug under cover some
where. / for one fear that inasmuch
as he has sworn to protect the interest
of his clients he would not knowingly
come here and propose . system of tax.
alton that will increase the burdens on
the very people he represents as attor-
ney, and make the burdens lighter on
those whom he does not have the honor
to represent, !. e. the farmer, the
small business man, the producer, and
the laborer. The arguments all show,
however, that this is the fact, but moi
having had time to investigate the mat
ter thoroughly am not prepared tt
say which way should vote. There
fore l ask every citizen of Grant par.
ish to assist me, and if you think neces.
sary send men here to assist in fighting
for the rights and the best interest Of
your people. T. o. Hart.

1t Does Nothing of the Kind.

The special correspondent of the
Times-Democrat sends that paper the
following item from Baton Rouge:
An anonymous brief attacking the
proposals of the Tax Commission is be-
ing circulated among members of the
Legislature. 1t purports tc be "by q
member of the constitutional conven-
ton of 1893" Several members re-
ceived it in an envelop bearing the fol-
lowing return address: "E. S. Murrell,
Assessor, Colfax, Grant parish, Louisi-
ana. The brief is an argument fol-
direct taxation on land values and
against indirect taxation. 1t opposes
the franchise tax on private and public
service corporations recommended by
the commission. 1t opposes segrega-
ton of sources.
The brief above referred to will be
found published in full on the first page
of this issue of the Chronicle. 1t is
exactly what it purports to be, "a
brief by q member of the Constitution
al Convention of 1885," The writer
does not oppose the franchise tax on
private and public corporations, but,
to the contrary, holds that such taxes
should be imposed and collected by the
people of the various parish communi-
ties who support such corporations, and
that it is an infringement of the rights
of the whole people to lodge any such
power in the hands of three commits
sioners, no matter how or by whom
they may be selected or appointed.
The return envelopes of E. S. Muir.
rel, Assessor, Colfax, La, in which
the brief was inclosed to the members
of the Legislature, do not indicate the
writer of the brief.

Judge Ben p. Edwards Should be Elect.
ed q Member Of the Court Of
Appeals.
THE REASONS:

the hEASONSs
He is strictly q moral man, q good
Judge. He has served two terms as
District Judge, and his record will COM
pare favorably with any Judge in the
State.
In the eight years he has had but
few cases reversed, less than any other
District Judge with as large docket as
he has had.
He believes that every man should
have justice and a square deal; that
all cases should have due and careful
consideration; and that all cases should
be decided at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
That opinions of the court should be
preserved, and in view of this, that the
opinions should be at least written with
pen and ink and in plain hand, if not
typewriter.
Judge Edwards was elected q member
of the Court of Appeals once in 1904,
but the Amendment creating the Cir
cult Court failed to pass, for the rea-
son that the City of New Orleans voted
against it. He was elected by the peo-
pie of his district, and did not get to
serve.
He is now asking the people Of the
district to elecct him again that he may
serve them. ADV.
