LOUISIANA AND THE LAND
SHOW.

There never was time when
II was so necessary that Loulsl.
ana should be well represented at
his annual Land Show. The ex-
hitition which is held during the
last days Of November and early
in December attracts farmers
and agriculturists from 5all parts
Of the central West as it occurs
at a time when the work OF har-
vesting the crops has been finish
ed. AS already stated, Louisiana
has made fine display OF her
abundant and varied products in
recent years and many people
were sufficiently impressed to
seek new homes in this State. II
Louisiana should neglect to be
represented this year, the impress.

State has been so badly hit by
the floods Of the past spring that
it has suffered an lrreperaDle set.
back. On the other hand, should
the State send a creditable ex-

that it has produced and variety
and fertility Of its soil, the visi.

impressed by the fact that this
State has enormous recuperativt
power and that the oyerfows
were mere incidents Of no perm

Il would be a misfortune not to
send a good display to the Land
Show this faA, and the Picayu4e

the country what she is and 1t IS
our purpose to accomplish this as
far as possibl. If you are willing
Won can aid in the effort.
The great United States Land
Show is to be held in Chicago,
November %, to- December .:
There will be several hundred
thousand visitors at this show. II
Louisiana can make a credltable
showing before this immense
crowd. the calumnies that have
been heaped upon her through
ignorance, will be effectively re-
futed.
A commission has been appoint
ed bv the Governor to arrange
for such an exhibit. But $4,000
is needed for this purpose. We
are going to ask Police Juries OF
the several parishes, the City
Councils Commercial Bodies
throughout the State, and lndl-
viduals to subscribe to this fund.
In YOUR capacity as editor you
have the opportunity of impress
inc on these bodies and on lndl-
viduals, the necessity of contrl-
buting. and we respectfully ask
YOUR aid. The New Orleans pap
ers are backing this movement,
as YOU will see from the enclosed
reprints. Won't you do your
share2
From time to time we will send
YOU information relative to the
plans for the show, and we would
be pleased if you would make
use of some of the material furn-
ished.

THE EFFECT OF THE AS RE.
CARDS IBERIA PARISH.

" On November 9Th, the voters
will be called upon to decide
whether or not certain articles OF
the Constitution shall be con-
tinued as at present or amended
to meet existing conditions-chief
among these proposed changes is
The Tax Amendment.
Formulated and prepared for
submission to the electorate by a
commission composed OF students
Of the Taxing System and polltl-
cal economists of the highest or
der. Its objects and purposes
have been so well explained that
it is quite unnecessary here to dis
cuss the matter, at least, in so far
as it's workings affects the State
revenues.
1t may not be amiss however to
present to our readers some few
facts and figures applicable to

OPPOSES BANK COMBINATIONS
MacVeagh Favors Law Prohibiting
Stock Holding Corporations.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Secretary OF the
Treasury MacVeagh. whose advice has
been sought by the National Monetary Com
mission in framing a statute prohibiting
the stocks Of banks from falling under the
control of other banks or corporations, be-
lieves the end can be accomplished by
broad provision of law designed to main
tain the independence of each individual
bank.
While the Secretary recognizes that 1t Is
difficult 10 write into the law a concrete
statement which would cover all subter-
fuges, he indicated to-day that an afirma-
tive assertion by Congress In statutory
prohibition against one bank owning stock
in another bank by direct or indirect means
would probably meet the situation.
The Secretary believes that to meet the
country's needs and popular demands the
plan of currency and banking reform
which the Monetary Commission will sub
nit to Congress must contain this pro-
hibitory regulation. He has not yet com
nIeted his consideration Of the question and
replied to the commission.

day issued the following statement:
The Wabash Railroad to-day defaulted
on the January interest OF It's refunding

the deposit of these bonds. We believe In
the Wabash property. and II Is our firm
intention to see that these bonds are MADE
good. 1t is for that purpose we have or
ganiZed
TO obtain this result we believe II is nee
essary that the interests responsible for
the financial management OF the road In
past years which has led to the present re-
ceivership and this default, shall not, I'm the
future. continue in control
In his last annual report +. a. Delano,
president OF the road, said:
Every investigation of Wabash cond-
tions, and there have been many by both
firms the statement that the property as
IL stands has been well maintained but
that II might, If cash were available for

greatly increase its earning capacity and
decrease its operating ratio
The statement concludes:
IF the able physical operation of the
property under Mr.. Delano can continue,
and II the financial control shall rest with
those in whom the investing public have
confidence, ample sums will be forthcoming
to enable the Wabash Railroad not only TO
meet its present obligations, but to provide
for future development which will enable II
TO increase It's gross revenue per mile and
to decrease it's operating ratio"
