CAPITAL WANTS COLLECTOR
Campaign Inaugurated to Again Make
Baton Rouge Entry Port.

Western Newspaper Union New. Service.
Baton Rouge, La.-Baton Rouge has
inaugurated a campaign to secure a
deputy collector located here.
Three years ago Congress passed
bill making Baton Rouge port OF en-
try but no representative of the gov
ernment has ever been placed here,
and vessels coming to Baton Rouge
have TO get clearing papers in New
Orleans.
The captains of Standard Oil vessels
usually have to make at least one trip
by train from Baton Rouge to New
Orleans, both coming up and going
down the river.
The location of a deputy collector
here would facilitate the movement Of
vessels from the port of Baton Rouge.
There are now on an average of three
ships a week coming to Baton Rouge
discharging and taking on cargoes Of
oil at the Standard refinery.
The following message was sent to
Senator Ransdell:
The attention of Congress is called
to the article and illustration in the
current edition of the National Water,
ways Magazine. The claims of Baton
Rouge to be re-established as port OF
entry are splendidly demonstrated
Our Baton Rouge district should not
be hampered in its efforts to reach
out for trade which will be opened by
the Panama Canal and the Mississippi
River must be recognized as a giant
factor in the freighting link between
interior an canal territory. KeeI
after our interests as heretofore"
