NO COMPROMISE.

While it is true that the Under
wood bill provides for a three-year
extension of One-cent duty on SUI
gar, this concession was made with
out any agreement whatever on the
part of the sugar interests.
There has been no compromise.
There will be none This announce
ment is made by the two Louisiana
senators.
The Louisiana delegates and their
allies declare they will make any
agreement with the wool" sena-
tons that is consistent" if neces-
sary TO protect their own interests.
They feel that their pledges to their
people are strong enough to justify
any combination that will preserve
the property of their state. So far
as could be learned, no oveTtures
have yet been made to the wool"
senators for their support, in return
for support of duty on wool by the
sugar people, but if it comes to
this pass the LOuisianians will not
hesitate to negotiate on this basis.
They will use all their resources to
protect sugar. 1t is claimed that
five insurgents will give sugar the
majority.

A GOOD SCHEME.

Mr.. Chas. S. Matthews, formerly
of West FeliciaEa, but now a promi-,
nent sugar planter of Lafourche, Sug-
gests that an endless chain" of let
ters De started by people in the
sugar district, and that is for the
latter to send to their correspond
ents elsewhere a request to for
ward to their aelac0rs and repre-
sentatives an appeal to vote for the
saving of the sugar industry.
1t is a good scheme, and would
be effective if pushed with vim and
Vigor.

HOW THE ALL-LEVEE SYSTEM
PROTECTS.

AS the story goes, a land specula.
tor, taking advantage of the scien.
tific (?) principle that by narrow.
ing the channel Of the river the cur.
rent is compelled to scour out the
bottom, secured permission to re.
claim low lands on the bank of the
Miami River at Dayton by building
leVee on the banks and narrowing
the channel, the water swept away
the leVee and death and destruction
have been left in its wake. And thus
it has been wherever the plan has
been tried, from "China's Sorrow to
Dayton's Despair.-Country Review.

GOV. HALLS ATTITUDE.

Even the political enemies of Gov
ernor Hall. must, in all candor, ad.
init that his position with regard to
the State bonds, las reported in an.
other column) is unquestiOnably pa
triotic and displays a sincere desire
to save the State and it's future gen.
erations needless taxation.
While some clamor for consti,
tutional convention, and others sug
gest divers methods of meeting the
situation, all Of which entail ex.
pense and higher taxes eventually
the fact is evident that Gov. Hall
is standing pat" against any plan
that involves greater burdens upon tn
people. His attempt to raise the
States credit abroad by dealing jul
diclally with old bonds that were
questionable, was defeated at the
polls. The sale as conducted under
act Of 1910 has failed. 1t may be
doubted if it were expected, when
the Act was passed, to effect a sale
under its provisions, or if so, how
the men, who, it was presumed would
be in charge of affairs, would have
managed it.
At any rate. the Governor seems
disposed to push the Act to it's linn
its, IF it takes all summer" in Or
der to save the people the cost of
paying commissions to float the bonds
with the added burden of a higher
rate of interest.
Gov. Hall should receive not only
the moral support of the people of
the state, but also their financial
aid, in so far as each man is able.
He is makinga good fight for the PEG
pie, and they should stand by him.

A POWERFUL ADVERTISEMENT

The failure to find sufficient pur-
chasers for the refunding bond issue
was expected by every one CONVEX
SAINT with the cirCumstances,-the
influences at work both at home and
abroad against the sale under present
conditions, not to mention, the un-
toward attitude towards Louisiana
Bonds in the New York market on &C
count of the reputation of the baby
bonds The patriotism of the three
bidders, though ineffective, comes out
with the more prominence, and at
fords an example to other banks and
private persons in Louisiana. These
showed their faith and interest in
the State, but though they are the
only ones on record as affording such
proof, no one dare say that they are
alone in their patriotic impulses.
We believe that there are thous-
ands of persons in Louisiana that
would buy bonds on the same terms
and for the same reasons as Mr..
Schwieb did.
We believe there is a majority of
holders of the old bonds, like Mrs.
Howell, who are willing to take the
new bonds for the old.
We believe that there is a suffi-
Cient number Of patriotic State banks
in Louisiana to take up any balance
of bonds left by purchasers of the
two foregoing classes.
We believe that there is absolute
iy no need to go outside the limits of
Louisiana to dispose of these bonds
along the lines indicated
Appeal to Louisiana patriotism has
seldom, if ever, been made in vain.
France, bleeding and impoverished
from the FrancO-Prussian war, yet
through the pride of its people in
their Country's good name and good
faith, paid from the voluntary sub
scriptions of it's peasantry the i'm.
mense indemnity required by the
victors in the war. Surely Louisf-
ana's people have as much love
and devotion for their common
wealth.
But if such an argument falls short
at this time, when there is great
effort made to advertise Louisiana
and its vast resources, it is evident |
that there could be no more powerful,
because convincing, advertisement of
Louisiana made than for her citi-
zens and her banks to take up the
refunding of the State debt. If 10y
atty and pride in Louisiana, if state
patriotism, need any further incen-
tive, surely this tremendous bust |
hess consideration should Influence
wise Louisianians to give due weight |
to this view of the subject.
