Gabbert, Coverdale and Greer and all
those gentlemen spoke in favor of the
organizing OF the Progressive League.
reciting the virtues of the soil of this
district and their willingness to coop
crate in making better town, better
country, and better community.
Mr.. C. E. Carr, who has done more
than any individual in Welsh to Boost
the country, told CT his success thus
far in interesting Mr.. Kelsey of large
Immigration Company, in the lands
around Welsh and spoke OF the en-
thusiasm displayed by the Land agents
to bring a train load OF settlers into
Welsh, to sell the lands surrounding 1t
off to small farms to be cultivated in
corn, forage crops and etc. to make
this a truck country and a garden spot
OF Southwest Louisiana. Mr.. Carr
needs however the cooperation OF the
land owners as these people Will not
consent to bring in any purchasers un-
less he has sufficient acreage to sell,
and as nothing can be done without
concentrated action the chair was
asked to 90 ahead with the organizing
of the WELSH CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE. At DR.. Cooper'S suggestion.
a Committee consisting OF DR.. j. H.
! Cooper, Mr.. w. B. Gabbert and Mr.. X.
M. Gray were appointed to look into the
methods and bylaws and all business
connected with the forming OF the Or
ganization.
I A committee to solicit membership
was appointed and consists OF DR.. L.
G. Lewis, Mr.. c. E. Carr and MIR. A. Il.
Jones.
These committees will report at the
next meeting called at the option OF

Don't waste your money.
With the formation of commercial
bodies and the prospect of a boom in

Offering plausible publicity schemes
and bonus propositions galore.
Some of them will have propositions
OF greater or lesser merit but most OF
them will have no other merit than
that of FEASIBILITY. Those with the
least chance of effectiveness from the
standpoint of the community are like

be presented by the smootheSt gentle
men and in the most attractive ways.
The store.rooms of almost every
business institution in the country ase
Uttered with gaudy pamphlets and
expensive booklets. excellent enough,
some of them, intrinsically, but worth
less to the community because they
never got over" to those who might
have been interested by them.
Motion pictures of your streets may
tickle the riSibilities of your own
people when shown in the local
theatre but are not likely to attract
immigration or manufactures, or i'm
prove farm methods.
Bonuses for infant industries have
gone out of fashion very largely and
progressive communities nowadays
are inviting industrial development on
the merits of known economic con-
ditions carefully studied.
Better squeeze the cherries offered
before biting. 1t will save the teeth.

NEWS LETTER.
Both the Tariff Bill and the Currency
Bill are Occupying the Attention
of Our Lawmakers.

Washington, D. c.. July 17....The
tariff bill is now before the Senate for
debate. 1t is believed that this bill will
be debated by. the Senate for four OF
five weeks and that it will pass the
Senate about August 18th. The Presi.
dent is very certain that the bill will
pass the Senate by substantial ma.
iority.
The demacra is have tifty.one mem.
bers in the Senate but it is likely that
one OF both Of the Louisiana Senator's
will vote against the bill SO that will
leave forty.nine democrats to pass the
bill; there is some doubt about Scat.
froth of Colorado and Newlands of
Nevada, If these two Senator's should
60 SO far as to vote against the bill it
is very certain that Poindexter of
washington, Progressive" will vote
with the Democrats, thereby making
the votes forty.eight for and forty.
eight against the bill, causing a tie.
In that event Vice. President Marshall
will cast the deciding vote and pass the
bill.
| It is quite likely that one or more
other progressive votes will be re.
corded in favor of the bill, by Senator
LaFollette of Wis, Bristow of Kans.,
Cummins of Iowa, and Knapp of Mime
soto. These Senators left the Republic
can party on account of the Payne
Aldrich Bill, and if they should vote
against the Democratic measure which
is great Improvement over the pres
ent tariff they would then be voting
for the existing bill against which they
so bitterly fought four years ago,
The currency bill which has beer
introduced in both houses of Congress
is being discussed in every town ant
hamlet in the land. The thing tina
puzzles so many is that the bill deal
with our greatest problem in such |
simple way. While it takes the powe
of controlling our finances absolutel,
out of the hands of even the influence
of Wall Street, it nevertheless viii
, prove great blessing to all legitimat
business enterprises, and will place tn
; banks more completely under the COZ
! troll of the government than they eve
J have been. The two main points of tn
+ Currency bill are therefore absolut
!. Government control of the money
! the country and the automatic e.
!. pansion or increase of money accordin
to the requirements of business.
