State Auditor Saysthe Courts
Action Does Not Answer
The Question
And That He Will Appeal the
Case Immediately to the
Supreme Court
Wants to Get to the Bottom
Of the Case, and Shall
Keep at it

The end of the contention stirred
up over the friendly case between
State Treasurer Olson and State Aud
itor ,Jorgenson regarding the authen-
ticity of the checks issued by Com
missioner of Agriculture Gilbreath
for state hail insurance is not yet. and
the outside interference of parties
who seem to desire to make capital
out Of it has a tendency to create
much misunderstanding throughout
the state.
This question was raised wholly for
one reason, and that was, to settle
the question OF whether Mr.. ]orgen-
son was to recognize Mr.. Gilbrcath's
checks or not. Mr.. Gilbreath did not
want to issue them. He insisted that
he had no authority to do so, and in
1911 the auditor issued the hail
checks at the order of the auditing
board. In 1912, when the question
arose, the auditing board, which was
dominated by Gov. Burke and Attor-
ncy General Miller. insisted that Mr..
Gilbreath should issue his own war
rants for the hail insurance of the
farmers of the state. Mr.. Gilbreatl1
objected, and Mr.. Jorgenson, who was
at that time deputy auditor, and aud
itor-elect, objected also After the
lst Of January, when Mr. Jorgenson
became auditor, he took the matter up
with State Treasurer Gunder Olson,
who felt that he was not certain in

JOHN M. PARKER BUYS
LAND IN ". FEuC|ANA

John M. Parker of New Orleans has
bought from A. Schlesinger the lat
ter's plantation on Big Bayou Sara,
now under the management Of C. T.
Tooraen. 1t consists of $3.50 acres,
only one-third of which is in cultiva-
ton, the remainder being grazing and
cumberland, 1t lies on both sides of the
bayou, and along the river front above.
1t is a magnificent piece of land and
Mr. Parker was much pleased with it..
The purchase price is $4,000.
The plantation will be in charge of
John M. Parker Jr. and J. Bob Daniel.
The latter has been managing Mr.
Parkers Roosevelt plantation in West
Carroll parish for the past two years,
but wanting to come back to the hills,
Mr.. Parker was induced to purchase a
place for his son, who has become fas-
cinated with stock-raising under Mr.,
Daniels guidance. The place will be
stocked with cattle and part planted
to grain.
This deal means much to West Fe-
liciana, since merely by having Mr..
Parker, foremost plain citizen of Lou

ana is strong vote of confidence in
| the parish's resources and future.
| Moreover Mr.. Parkers example will
have strong influence over others.

Keep all roads well rounded; SO they
will shed water as soon as possible.
Keep all side bitches clear of grass

See to it that the ditch drainage is
continuous, and that the bitches are
made as straight as possible. In places
where deep ponds or pockets make
drainage impossible, be sure to build
the grade high enough so it will keep

Mr.. HENDON PRINCIPAL
|. BATON ROUGE SCHOOLS

The School Board troubles of East
Baton Rouge parish were settled in an
unexpected way, Tuesday, by the res
ignation of A. M. Hendon, for three
hours parish superintendent, and the
election to that position of G. M.
Hughes. In turn Mr.. Hughes announ-
ced that he would name Mr.. Hendon
as principal of the city schools. The
movement against married women as
teachers was dropped.
The row began by the city members,
with the exception of President Ed
monds, voting unanimously against the
retention of C. M. Hughes as principal
of the city schools and the employ
ment OF married women as teachers.
This action was taken some weeks
ago, but it remained for final action
by the Board Tuesday. Meanwhile the
friends of those concerned were busy
in their interests so that matters were
ready for crystalization at the formal
meeting. The eligibility of A. M. Hen
don to the SUPPLEMENTARY was ques-
toned.
The school law provides for the
special qualifications of parish super.
i1tendents under the new system which
regards parish superintendent as pro.
fessional positions instead of political
parish Offices This is the law under
which parish boards have selected sup
erintendents solely on the ground oil
their qualifications and without res
pect to their domicile, but it is claimed
by some that parish superintendent
come under the head of public officers
hence to be eligible must be qualified
electors of their respective parishes.
AT the afternoon session, three mem
bers from the country ward let it be
known that they were going to pusf
the question of the eligibility of Mr.
Hendon to hold the Office of parish
superintendent, on the grounds that HI
was not a qualified elector of the par
ish and therefore could not hold tn,
Office.
Mr.. Hendon said he did not want t,
see such an issue put and that he woul,
not be party to or responsible TO
such proceedings because they woul
oyerturn the educational system of tn
state if sustained. He said he woul
therefore resign as parish superintent
ent.
The resignation was accepted, wit
the result reported above.
