PROPOSED INCOME TAX.

The tariff bill pending before the
lower branch Of congress contem-
plates the levy and collection of an
income tax as a means of making
up the deficiency in the national
revenues that will result from the
general and heavy cuts which the
measure makes in duties on i'm
ports.
1t is proposed to collect the in
come tax from all persons, firms,
corporations, ETC., whose net reve-
nues exceed $4,000 year, and there
is to be q scale of rates commenc-
Ing with per centum for the small
est incomes and increasing in a cor
responding ratio with the increased
size of the income.
While the principle of this tax is
vigorously opposed and criticised by
those who will be most affected by
its enforcement, there can be no
doubt that it will be popular with
the masses of the people, because
1t seeks to place the burdens of tax
alton upon the shoulders of those
best able to bear them. The plea
that it penalties industry, ability and
success Is not strong enough to off
set the plain and simple fact that
those who make the most money
can meet the demands of the tax

This is Their Town.

The way some people knock you
would think this is somebody else's
town.
But it isn't-it is their town all
the while.
You would think that, If there is
something lacking, the town is to
blame for it.
But it isn't the town that is to
blame-it is the people in the town.
And the knockers are part of the
people.
When they knock the town they
knock themselves.
I; What they ought to do is not to
complain merely, but also 10 cor
rect.
If this town has anything che mat
ter with it;
II it needs some improvement;
If it needs to do more of it's buy
ing at home;
If it needs home pride, more of a

If it needs to develop it's resources,
encourage home Investment
Then we, the people, must do It.
Let's get together and start some
thing.

quest, owners OF horses and cattle

bllea offered In this contest.
Because of my long and, as I be-
lieve will be generally conceded,
honest, efficient and economical SUI
pervision of the schools of the par
ish, both as principal and as super
lntendent, and because of the great
Value of such a means of travel to

that we should win, | feel justified
in entering the contest and in calling
upon all to assist us. say us,
because not only would I be helped,
personally, but every school boy and
girl and every school patron in the
parish, as well as the board men,
bers, who would then have means
OF also visiting the schools, would
share in the benefits. Much time
could be saved in going from school
to school, a longer stay in each
school would be possible, schools
could be visited oftener, patrons
met more frequently, and much ex-
pense saved.
If all will assist in collecting
ballots from the daily paper and
sending them to me or to the office
In New Orleans, and if my friends
will make an effort to send sub

Garage Company Doing Well.

In J. A. Brennan, general superin.
tendent and sales manager, the
Donaldsonville Garage and Automo-
bile Supply Company has added a
very valuable acquisition. Mr.. Bren-
nan has sold four cars during the
past three months, the last one dis
posed of being K. A. Aucoin's 1912
REQ, which was purchased by C.
Rivet, engineer at the West Ken
lucky Company's local coal loading
station. The garage company recent
~ signed contract to sell. Ford
cars in this vicinity, and has already
received its 1913 model touring car
demonstration This car is fully
equipped and sells for $3.50, deliv-
cred. The price of the roadster is
s575, complete.
Mr.. Aucoin went to New Orleans
last week and purchased a 1912
model REQ touring car for demon
stfation purposes, and the machine
is one of the aclassiest'' for the
price which has been seen in this
city. It is equipped with a Gray &
Davis electric starter and electric
lights, and has all the other con-
Veniences and luxurious appointments
usually found only in the more ex-
pensiVe machines
Mr.. Brennan has installed some
new machinery in the garage, and
the company is now in position
to do the most delicate repair work
The dust-proof paint room is one
Of the best-equipped and most COM

Huntington Wilson, first assistant
secretary of state, rendered his res
ignation and insisted on its i'm.
mediate acceptance when President
Wilson issued a statement declining to
formally sanction and indorse the
participation by American capitalists
in the new Chinese loan. In the
letter announcing his retirement
from office the assistant secretary
said: s1nasmueh as / find myself
entirely out of harmony with this
radical change of policy as I under
stand it, | trust you will sympathize

pirate that should longer retain the

reason to suppose that the fate Of

offices of six great powers, would
be abruptly determined with such
quite unnecessary haste and in SO
