Baton Rouge.-The Guilbault bill
abOli8hing legal advertising in French
after July 81, 1916, passed the Senate
after Senator Byrnes had made an in
effectual fight to change the date to
March 81, 1915. The bill, as origin
ally presented by Representative Gull
bault and Senator Patterson, called
for abolition at once. An active lob
by representing the New Orleans Bee
forced the proponents to compromise
on July 81, 1916, as the date when
the bill should take effect
Making the point that the date fixed
gives the Bee lobby a chance at the
Legislature two years hence, Senator
Byrnes sought to move the date back
four months. Senators Patterson and
FavrOt opposed the amendment be-
cause they said the agreement had
specified July 81, 1916, and the agree
ment should be carried out.
Inc lobby against the bill succeed
ed by using misinformation," Senator
Byrnes said. "An agreement forced
by that kind of tactics is no agree
ment at all, This is a pernicious form
OF graft. 1t taxes the poor and the
weak and unfortunate. l will support
subsidy for the Bee. but am oppos-
ed to this thing they now have"
The Senate thought the surest thing
to do was to pass the bill as it stood
and it went through. Having already
passed the House, it goes direct to
the governor for signature.
