A Dog Tax.

Many of the thoughtful citi-
zens Of our country are exDrcss-
ing themselves of late as strong
ly favoring a Dag Tax. The
farmers who are yearly paying
a tax on sheep can't very well
relish seeing hundreds killed in
the parish thru the year by the
dog that isn't taxed and that is
generally good for nothing ex-
cept to eat the food that might
be used to fatten a good hog
from which some returns might
be had.
Now every man is entitled to a
dog if he really cares to own one,
and nothing should be said to
discount the love between the
faithful dog and his master: but
the dog that is really loved and
valued by his master is general
ly appreciated enough for the
owner to be glad to secure pro.
lection for him by paying a
small tax. Then the worthless
and harmful specimen can be all
killed out and the country be
better off for the radiance. Cen
orally speaking it isn't the faith
full old valuable" that does the
damage, but The struggling old
tramp dog which strolls around
at large that destroys the sheep
and brings about the danger OF
hydrophobia too.
What think you voters who
are looking for the best interest
of the parish at large? Any rea
son why d dog should be exempt
from tax any more than the use
full sheep or hog?

Wool Sale.

Monday morning by eight
O'Clock wagon loads of wool came
driving into town, showing at an
early hour that the market would
be unusually active.
By eleven o'clock the streets
around S. H. Burris' corner store
were crowded with vehicles and
men, not only the owners of the
wool but a vast crowd who were
interested in the bidding.
There were representatives
from St. Louis, Meridian, Mobile
and New Orleans, and tho price
rapidly climbed from Is to % cts
even, being bid in by a progress
sivv Meridian firm, there being
nearly $4,000 pounds of it.
A comparison of the prices
with surrounding markets aught
to prove interesting to the farm
ers. Prices at the following
places we're:
Folsom, 20 1.2 cts; Varnado,
20 cts; Abita Springs '21.57 cts.
Abita has the advantage OF
boat shipping as we'll as railway,
and the competition makes their
freight rate one cent less on the
round than other markets, so the
buyer really gave one and one.
half cents less per pound for St.
Tammany wool than the Frank
linton market obtained as all
prices are F. O. B. the local mar.
ket.
So Franklinton carries the blue
ribbon in wool as we'll as Irish
potatoes, and the results were
good enough to force home to the
farmer the fact that there is
money in wool and perhaps more
clear profit on the money and la
Dor than any other commodity
marketed in this section.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
AG|TATED IN MASS MEETING
Representative Crowd From
Parish at Large Assemble
in Court House at 100
O'clock Tuesday and Dis
cuss Ways and Means.

In view of the need for action
recognized by the Police Jury
and other progressive citizens of
the Parish, a mass meeting was
called for Tuesday afternoon to
advance and discuss plans for
maintaining good roads and re.
ducing the Parish debt.
At the hour appointed the court
house was filled by representa-
tives of every section Of the Par"
ish, with enough interest and en-.
thusiasm manifested it would
seem to accomplish desired re.
suits.
". G.. Smith, President of the
Police Jury, stated the object of
the meeting and called on W. H.
Sullivan, General Manager of
the Great Southern Lumber Co.,
to open the discussion and sug.
gest any plans which he might
have.
Mr.. Sullivan's remarks were
listened to with marked attention
and his suggestions considered
with interest. Among other
things he advanced the idea that
we should make a business prop.
osition of the finances of the Par
@ ish, as much so as of any indi-
vidaal business in which We en-
gage.
1--WE have good Parish, filed
with good citizens, who ought to
be ashamed to live under such a
debt as is over US today. The
only thing to do is to combine our
energies toward making Wash
ington Parish Il good place to live
in.
"We are in debt, we know, and
the Parish revenue is not suffi-
Gent to ply current expenses,
and It's true, too, that some Of
our sunken money may have gone
on good roads. 1t is to be hoped
it did, for the good roads and
court house can't be taken away
from us-but how about this
proposition?
"Let ten men, two from each
ward in the Parish, be selected to
help the Police Jury audit their
books and figure out just how
much it will now cost to maintain
said roads. Then let bond is.
sue be made, just as st. Tam.
many and other Parishes have
done successfully, TO pay for the
construction aud up-keep Of the
roads.
you may ask why the Greet
Southern Lumber Company, who
pays 50 much taxes, be willing 10
make the bond Issue! Because
good roads will enhance the value
of cut-over lands and all other
property, whoever OWNS it, and
thus will pay in the long run.
ats not fair, either, for us
people of Oily i pty for AL t
the good roads, for the roots and
ruts we get ri OF today are for
ever golle, md as those coming
ON will get full benefit of' same, it
is but fair ana just that they bear

when fhis committee has done
it's work, let us meet again ana
get their report, and every citizen
interested will know just what has
been done and exactly what it will
be necessary to do
Mr.. Sullivan then heartily
pledged the support and assist
ance of the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company in whatever is done
to help this great cause.
J. K. Johnson then followed
with the timely suggestion that
we quit cussing the Police Jury
for imaginary or real mistakes
which they have made, but all
get together now and do some
thing.
mistakes have been made
doubtless, but we believe they
were honest mistakes, and we
can't deny that we are profting
greatly today by much of the
work that has been done by the
Police Jury in the past 10 or 10
years.
AT that time we were paying
a small tax, it is true, but we were
doing absolutely nothing-just
standing in a rut. The first con"
structive work done by the Par
ish was the steel bridges built on
all roads crossing the large
streams, and while too much
might have been paid for some OF
these bridges we see clearly wha
a big advantage over all the cos
they have been to us.
Later the courthouse and jail
were built on the anticipated reve
nue. of the Parish and next the
Good Roads. This last we hon.
estly believe to have been the
paramount need of our Parish
for they were an absolute neces
sity to every citizen, and to every
citizen. large or small, faror near
is getting the good Of them today.
Mr.. johnson put himself on
record as favoring a vehicle tax
a dog tax, and per capita tax
The per capita tax he thinks will
justly get from every negro work
man, saw mill hand and Others
who would do nothing otherwise
for the public welfare, help in con
structing and maintaining those
things that are beneficial anC
even necessary to our welfare ant
progress.
After discussion from various
ones in the assembly the vote was
unanimous to appoint this com
mittee of 10 to carry out the idea
advanced.
Mr. Smith left it by to each ware
to name its own two men, who's,
names will later be announced. a
will also the time of the mex
meeting, which we hope to se
we'll attended by meu who will no
hinder this work Of progress, bu
Iwho will bend a shoulder to th
wheel and do all possible to furth
or this helpful move.
