The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-12-18

The decision finally arrived at
by the Railroad Commission at
Baton Rouge Friday in regard to
the PASSENGER rate question, will
be heartily approved by the ma
jority of the travelling public. In
lieu of establishing the proposed
two and a half cents fare, the rail
roads agreed to issue interchange
able mileage books on all the rail
roads in the State at a rate of two
and half cents.
This interchangeable mileage
system means a great convenience
for those who have to use the rail
roads to. any extent as they can
economic at a saving of half a
cent a mile by buying the 1000
mile book and the disagreeable
feature of having to worry at a
crowded ticket window in trying
to make close railroads connections,
will be done away with too by
this interchangeable ticket ar
rangement.
The Southwestern Traffic Asso-
citation has also given the assur-
ance that interchangeable mileage
books will be issued for travelling
on roads In both Louisiana and
Texas at the same rate two and a
half cents. SO this will be hailed
as a happy and satisfactory solu-
ton of this demand for lower
passenger rate as it meets the es-
sential particulars of the demand
and the time is not quite ripe for
the fiat rate not only from the
standpoint of the railroads but Of
the general public too. !
The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-12-18

After six years of faithful SER
vice to his pastorate in Natchito-
ches, the past two of which be
was permitted to return because
of the many petitions that were
sent the higher authorities wherein
it was set forth that he was ur-
gently needed here to carry out
certain plans that he had started,
and in spite of renewed appeals
that he be returned again this
year, the Conference on Monday
appointed Rev. r. III. Harper to
take charge of the Parker Memo
rial Church in New Orleans. While
his friends outside OF his congre-
CATION as well as his flock, sincere
lv regret that he will not be with
them again. they are delighted
that he has had such a high honor
given him, as the promotion to one
of the most important pastorates
in the State is very unusual for so
young a man in years and service.
But the honor will be worn with
the dignity and modesty that have
characterized Mr.. Harper in every
way since he~has been in Natchito-
chcs and The Enterprise in con-
graduating him, congratulates his
congregation as he is in every way
worthy of the highest honor that
can be conferred upon him.

The Poor Children's
Christmas Stocking.

In planning for Christmas we
hope that every body will remem-
Der the poor children for while we
can boast that we have not nearly
as many as can be found in most cit
les the size Of Natchitoches they are
numerous enongh to take much
planning SO that all will get bit
of Christmas cheer. If everybody
will obey the promptings of their
generous hearts, the Mutual Aid
will have little trouble in carrying
out happy plan that was inaug-
urated last year in addition to its
usual Christmas custom of send
ing fruit and candy. that is, of
giving a filled stocking to each
child in the family.
Every lady in town is asked to
take a pair of children's stockings
put a nickle in the toe, then fol,
low with a simple toy, fruit and
candy and send it to Mrs. Edward
Phillips president of the Mutua
Aid by the 23rd who will see t.
their distribution.
Let everybody help to make
this bright Christmas for the
unfortunate little ones.

The Sale of Louisiana Bonds.

In its reference to the sale OF
the States bonds. the State-Ilmes
saws two things are apparent.
One is that the credit of the
state will be maintained, and the
other is that the successful New
York syndicate drove a hard bar
gain with the board of liquidation.
1t cost the state Of Louisiana
S424. O53 to sell the bonds.
This is the increase debt that
the people will have to pay IN
terest on as a result of the sale.
And this is the amount of proht
that the successful bidding syndi-
cate will make should it sell the
bonds at par.
Whether or not the state would
have gained by playing the other
card 1t had in it's hand the issu-
ance of short term notes, for two
years-is a question that will al
ways be in the realm of debate
The two elements, just what the
short term notes would sell tor at
this time, and just what the state
bonds would bring at the end OF
the two years when they were
sold, are the two conditions on
which there is not now, and will
never be any information.
Regardless of the cost, which
we think is high, and regardless
of the whether or not the state
would have gained if it had issued
short tern notes. the one big issue
is settled. That means more to
Louisiana than S424, 900, or an
academic debate as to whether or
not the short or the long term
notes would have been the better
issue.
Louisiana today announced to
the world that it would protect
every dollar of just indebtedness
against it, and the holders of the
bonds can on January | get the
money for these bonds.
There is some advantage in hav.
ing the entire question settled.
Its effect on Louisiana securities
the bonds of its levee boards.
drainage district, and munich,
palities, is good.
The credit of Louisiana has
been maintained.
