AN EXTRAORDINARY EXTRA
SESSION

The extra session of the Louisiana
general assembly held at Baton Rouge
this week promises to establish a
new record for brevity, speed and
harmony in the despatch of 1egis-
was for a session of twelve days,
extending from Sept. s to 10, inclu-
sive, but unless some unforeseen OBJ
stacle has arisen since this article
was prepared the work for which the
assembly was brought together was
accomplished in five days and adj
journment taken yesterday.
The four objects specified in the
governors cali have been covered by
three bills and a concurrent resolu-
ton, all passed by virtually unani-
nous votes in both houses, except
the bill appropriating $4,000 to re-
build the State Training Institute at
Monroe, which met with some oppo-
sition. The four measures may be
briefly indicated as follows:
1. An act providing for the calling
of constitutional convention, com
posed of one delegate from each par
ish of the state and each ward of the
city of New Orleans, for the purpose
of amending the provisions of the
present constitution appertaining to
the bonded debt of the state and the
authority of the New Orleans Sewer
age and Water Board to issue bonds.
2. An act making provision for
the rebuilding and Improvement of
the State Training Institute at Mon
roe.
3. An act providing for the ex-
penses of the extra session.
4. A concurrent resolution author
izing the governor to fill vacancies in
the United States senate pending
ami election for that purpose
A more extended and specific re-
view of the proceedings of this ex-
traordinary extra session will be Civ
en- in next weeks Chief.

Thaw Thrust Back Upon Us.


Just as we had comfortably settled
back in the consoling belief that
Canada was going to keep Harry K.
Thaw off our hands at least for a
couple of years, if not forever and a
day, the acting minister Of the Ca
madam interior department orders
the pestiferous fugitive fired bodily
back across the border into Vermont
The order was carried OUT Wed
nesday morning, and after scooting
around a few hours in an automo-
bile with several newspaper report
ers, Thaw was taken into custody by
a New Hampshire constable and
lodged in jail at Colebrook, that
state. Canada may not always know
a good thing when she sees it, but
she seems to have pretty good sight
for the other kind.

THE SENATE AND THE COTTON
TAX,

The Democratic senatorial caucus
at Washington voted on the 9Th in
slant to add to the tariff bill the
provision introduced by Senator
Clarke of Arkansas imposing a tax
cotton future sales, the tax to be re-
funded in all cases where actual de-
livery of the cotton is subsequently
made. The purpose of the amend
ment is to discourage gambling in
cotton, and the author of the proyl-
sion denounced the practice severely
characterizing the New York and
New Orleans cotton exchanges as the
biggest gambling houses in the coun-
try.
The action of the caucus was quick
ly followed by a drop in cotton prices
amounting to 81 a bale. and it is
thought this slump in the market
had much to do with influencing the
Democratic majority to agree to an
amendment offered by the finance
committee deferring the operation OF
the Clarke provision until Sept. 6 /,
1914.
Senator Sheppard of Texas no
doubt gave voice to the prevalent
opinion among the senators faVoring
the cotton tax when he said, speak
ing of the postponement of the date
when the tax is to become effective:
That's q. good thing to do. It gives
the exchange people year to ar
range their business so that they will
not be in violation of law
Cotton prices jumped up as quickly
as they had tumb1ed down after the
news of the years grace reached the
markets, and the delay encourages
many dealers in futures to believe
the tax proposition viii never be car
ried into actual effect.
