GEORGE IS TIRED OF
DOING 1T.

At the last term of the Crimi-
nal District Court we caused the
arrest of a person who was run
ming a banking game on the OPP
posite side of the street from the
court house. The sheriff did his
duty, the grand jury returned a
true bill, and it was let to die
out. Now, as far as the editor
Of the Banner is concerned the
gamblers can take full sway of
the town in the future as in the
past, but there will never be
word said in this paper
against gambling, unless we re-
ceive some substantial moral sup
port. What we need is more
courage. But YOU cant stuff it
all down the editors throat,
Evangeline Banner.

The proposition of the Sew
erage Board to submit tax at
no distant date for the construc-
ton of a first class modern Sew
erage System is rapidly crys-
taIizing into such shape that the
Board will be in position to
arrive at a conclusion as to what
will be done in the premises and
give the taxpayers of New Iberia
an idea Of its actual cost. No
doubt this will meet with the APP
prevail Of every right thinking
citizen who resides in New he
ria as far as it goes. We are
pleased, however, to report that
our new Mayor, Mr.. Fontelieu is
also striving to build up d
sentiment among the taxpayers
to vote with the Sewerage Tax a
general improvement tax that
would realize sufficient funds for
street paving. good drinking
water. extension of water mains
for fire protection, which would
necessarily mean a lower rate OF
insurance FOR certain portions OF
New Iberia. extension of the
electric lights and "A Fire Alarm
system in accordance with that
of all the more advanced cities Of
the South. We endorse the
proposition of the Mayor and
trust the Commissioners will give
this matter the consideration il
is entitled too. aud believe every
man. woman and child will will
lingly approve a plan for all OF
the improvements needed, If 1t Is
laid before them in an intelligen,
manner. just how New Iberia
got along these years without
improvements of that nature it
is hard to comprehend, now,
however, when towns the size of
Jeanerette have seen the advant
agts of good street paving and its
saving to the people and installed
the improvements. 1t now re-
mains for New Iberia not to be
a laggard in these matters. The
time has come when We must act,
and we hope to see proper steps
taken by the Sewerage Board
(whom we have entrusted with
this work, together with the new
Commissioners that will result
in bringing to finality all of
these improvements at the same
time. Let us be up and doing.

IBERIA CROP NOTES.

-Copious rains have fallen all over the
parish, the temperature has risen to the
usual mark for this time of the year,
running to the nineties, all of which
for all crops. Owing to the long, dry
spell, some localities could welcome
even more rain. At this writing the
skies are clear and winds south, with
high temperature, and in one or two
days another good rain would be very
beneficial. Under the stmulus crops
are reaching upward and downward, and
making great advance. The work on
plantations and farms is going on rap
idly and the last working being put to
the larger cane, and all of the corn,
which has grown very rapidly since last
writing. The corn crop is phenomenal
and it is the largest ever seen in this
parish The careful selection of seed,
more intelligent methods of cultivation
and the adoption of methods given by
the Department of Agriculture, both
State and National, have increased the
corn crop in the last three years at least
50 per cent There is now an agent Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture appointed for this parish, M
Sidney Broussard, who is capable and
energetic, who gives four days of the
week to visiting Of farmers, viewing the
demonstration work, holding meetings of
farmers, organizing of clubs and in
many ways helping the farmer to get
more for his labor and how to dive at
home" and not in the stores and groc-
cries.
The cane crop of the Eighth ward is
now looking its best, and the work Of
laying by will soon be general. A trip
On the interurban electric line between
New Iberia and Jeanerette is a panorama
of beautiful homes, fine fields of corn
and cane, pastures and meadows, pecan
groves, delighting the eye and satisfying
the mind. The fine plantations of Belle
View, Orange Grove, Pinehurst, Rosedale,
Loizel and numerous fine farms all
passing in review. It is doubtful if
more beautiful and satisfying trip can
be found in Louisiana than that above
and all for twenty five cents.
The cotton crop is now making squares
and blossoms, the weevils are in evil
dence, and very dscouraging to the far
mers. The usual methods of fighting
this pest are being used, but without
much success. Some talk is heard of
reducing the cane crop for next season
in fact, reducing it to stubble crop.
This talk is INDUCED in only by the
most pessimistic and calamity howlers.
The majority of the cane people think
it best to keep an average quantity of
seed, feeling that the friends of the
country will again come into power ami
give such protection as all the industries
of the country need for their pernanence.
The Grip crop continues to improve
and those engaged in it express them
selves as satisfied with the situation ami
expect the usual yield. As to profits,
that is probematical and dependent on

COMMISSION CHARTER BE
COMING POPULAR.

The subjoined letter was re-
ceived this week by one of eur
citizens which shows how popular
the Commission Form of Govern
ment system of conducting mu-
inequalities is becoming through
out the States:
Cambridge, Mass, June 16, 13.
Dear Sir-Thank you very
much for your kind favor of the
9TH inst, with its full, interesting
and most welcome information
regarding the new charter for
your City. 1t tells me just what
| want to know and it will be o.
much use here as the campaign
for our commission charter seems
to be reopening with much vigor'
You will be gratified, | am
sure, TO learn that Nashua, n. H.,
has Just voted almost two to one,
for charter abolishing party
lines and instituting the pref
erential ballot. 1t is the first
city in New England to take up
the preferential ballot and put
it into effect, and the ninth in the
whole country. The others, as
YOU no doubt are aware, are
Grand Junction, Spokane, Pueblo,
Duluth, Denver, Colorado
Springs, Portland, Greg, and
New IBERIA.
| am sorry | have not yet had
time TO examine your tax pro-
posal, but | have no doubt it is
a good thing. You will be in
terested to know that the Pro
pressive Party leaders here in
Massachusetts are beginning to
show a great interest in the sin
gle tax. Among the officers of
our Massachusetts Single Tax
League are q number of these
leaders, and the prospect OF
something substantial from that
new party, now that state poll
ties have been disentangled from
Federal politics by the population

tors, is very good.

complete and Illuminating ac-

THE ASSESSMENTS.

After reviewing the assess
ment rolls, hundreds of notices
were sent out by the Board OF
Reviewers last week requesting
the attendance of the addressed
TO show cause why their assess
ments should not be advanced.
This gave rise to the belief that a
general increase of assessment
was contemplated. and in view OF
the depressed conditions now pre-
vailing, brought forth protests
from every direction. The banE-
ers of the Parish taking the
initiative and presenting to the
Board a petition asking that the
assessments be not advanced until
a latAf date when the tax payers
DF0nld better be able to bear ad-
Nlitional burdens. The bankers
were informed that the notices,
(sent to conform with law, were
not intended to indicate posi-
tive advance, but simply to cause
the taxpayers to appear and to
assist the Board in reaching n
fair and equitable adiustment Of
the existing asses ents.
Nor can the blame for this be
placed upon any individual. The
