SUPPORT the AMENDMENT.

New Orleans, Sept. 23:-Many
a man has asked why is Louisiana
not the richest and most prosperous
State in the Union?" I have asked
that question many times. Here is
the answer l got from the execu-
tive head of New Orleans concern
which draws more than five million
dollars annually from the business
it does in Louisiana, Mississippi.
Arkansas, Texas and Alabama:
Our cashier, every business day
in the year, receives on the average
more thsu $4,000, which under
normal conditions, would be de-
posted in some New Orleans bank.
But, because the law of Louisiana
can be construed as to impose a tax
on money on hand and on deposit,
which,. in the very nature Of the
case, would be prohibitive. we do
not make our deposits in New Or
leans banks, but each and every
evening send all the checks, drafts
and other forms of cash received
that day, to q bank in q northern
city in State which does not tax
money on hand and on deposit. In
this way we avoid the danger of a
prohibitive tax. 1t is the only thing
we can do under the circumstances.
It's tough on Louisiana though. be-
cause / know of about forty other
large concerns which do the same
thing. This means that more than
$1OO, GOO, 900 are cent out of the
State annually in order to avoid
prohibitive taxation. This money
would remain in Louisiana and be
used to finance Louisiana industries
and commerce if the tax law were
changed to conform with the tax
laws of other States and countries.
l am told almost nobody pays the
tax on money, and that the State
receives practically no revenue from
it,"
In November the people will vote
on constitutional amendment to
free money. on hand and on de-
post from taxation, and leading
bankers estimate that the adoption
Of that amendment will result in an
increase, from home sources alone,
of more than 500, 900. 900 in the
amount Of money annually avail
able for the financing of farmer and
merchant in Louisiana.
As matters now stand fully that
amount of money annually passes
out of the State and into banks of
other States. thus helping the farm
ers and merchants elsewhere at the
expense of the industries of Louis
lana.

The boil weevil can be partially
eradicated, enough SO to make the
bottom crop and save the top one.
The method is spraying at stated
periods with a mixture that is poi
sonous but not injurious to the
growing plant.
The cost is comparatively small.
The results have been proven be-
yopd any doubt.
The one who found the mixture
and is responsible for the good work
is I. F. Peck, of New England.
This, in brief, tells the story of
how one man came down here,
worked all summer and experiment
ed, until be was sure of his formula,
and then went ahead. To-day sew
eral growers in this immediate vicin-
ity will not tel! you what he has
done, no more than he would, but
they will show you.
For the past several weeks num-
Der Of growers and factors have been
in this section investigating the
worth Of Mr.. Peck's treatment. He
simply leads them to a portion of
q cotton field that he has sprayed
and then never finds it necessary
to tell them where he left off. The
plants will do that.
Yesterday the writer of this went
on trip to four plantations, two
on this side of the river and two on
the other side. In the morning Mr..
Collins, capitalist of st. Louis, and
Mr.. Harrison, Of Fayette, were in
the party. The cotton fields of Mr..
George Marshall and Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick were visited. Row after row
OF the plants were inspected. On
cotton that bad been sprayed the
number Of bolls to the plant, open
and unopened, averaged about 80
On cotton that had not been sprayed
the result was around Is, after one
deducted the infected bolls, or those
punctured by the weevil.
In Louisiana. on the plantation
OF Mr.. Gillespie. the results were
far better. as the plants were Of
heavier growth. due to the rich soil
there. There the average of hollis,
open and onupened, on sprayed
cotton, was about 80. Several plants
picked at random contained as high
as lib and 100. Hundreds more
contained 80 to 100. Unsprayed cot
ton showed far lower average, with
practically no top crop.
On the plantation below that of
Mr.. Gillespie field was entered
that had not been sprayed. The
average was very low there, from
5 to 8 hollis being the limit. What
the weevil had left undone the
worms bad finished. This field was
OF several hundred acres and the
loss can be easily imagined.
Another field, not sprayed. also
showed a fine crop. We were told
negroes had beea engaged in pick
ing of the weevils all through the
season. When the owner starts to
figure up their labor it will cut q
hole in his profits.
The mixture used for spraying
has been given test here under
,dverse conditions, as Mr.. Harrison

police court examination on a charge
of manslaughter, before Justice

the outcome Of coroner's inquest

mony indicated that Oren would not

sent back to jail, In default Of S1,-
900 bail.
Oficer Anthony Busch made the
complaint, following Ullenbruch's
death In st. Mary's hospital.
The testimony Of the oficer, who
witnessed the accident. corroborated
Oren's statement that Ullenbruch
was crossing the street, apparently
reading, and unmindful of vehicles
Oren said that he blew his horn,
shut on the power and put on his
brakes without striking Ullenbruch,
but the wet pavement started the
machine skidding and Ullenbruch
was struck by the rear of the ma
chine, and Knocked down.
The fall to the pavement was
blamed for the fracture Of the mans
skull.
