A meeting at night filled the Ba-
rome street Hippodrome to overflow
ing, and much enthusiasm was
aroused by speeches from Gen. W. j.
Behan, who called the meeting to
order and introduced the chairman;
John NJ. Parker, who presided; E.
S. Broussard of Iberia, a brother Of
Congressman nd Senator-elect Brous-
sard; Harry w. Fitzpatrick, a promi-
nent young New Orleans business
man; Thos. J. Liable of st. Martin,
formerly state senator; J. j. Robira
of Jennings, John Marks Of Napoleon
vile, w. E. Howell of Thibodaux and
E. A. Pharr of IBERIA
Strong resolutions were adopted
declaring the organization strictly a
white mans party and proclaiming
the principles and purposes of the
Progressive party as putting it in
square opposition to both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties. The
speeches and resolutions severely
criticised and condemned the policy
of the Wilson administration on the
tariff, Mexican affairs, ETC., and
pledged the Progressives to policy
that would rehabilitate the shattered
industries of Louisiana and the coun-
try at large and make the American
citizen safe and his flag respected
abroad.
The most numerous accessions to
the rehabilitated Progressive organi-
cation seem to come from the third
congressional district, and the lead
ers Of the movement are claiming
with the utmost confidence that a
Progressive will be elected to con-
gress by a big majority from that dis
trict in November.

assume the duties of the position.
some months ago system was
adopted by the Cumberland concern
whereby Donaldsonville. Whitecastle
and Plaquemine were incorporated in
to one district and a single manager
assigned to look after it, who made
his headquarters in P1aquemine. I'm
der this regime the service here has
been very poor indeed, and as a re-
suit of agitation by the Chamber of
commerce the district officials Of the
telephone company decided to again
station resident manager in Don.
aldsonville,
The attention of the new. official
is respectfully invited to the fact
that there is general complaint in |
this community regarding the inferior
character of the service rendered |
through the local exchange, and the
suggestion is offered that steps to
remedy the defects are manifestly
due by the company to its local pa
irons. The operators are perhaps
not to blame, and there is no dis
position IN any quarter to make per-
sona1 or captions complaints. The
trouble is doubtless due to the gem
sral ineffieiency of the system of
supervision and management hereto s
ore in vogue, and as this is reeog- E
lized as one Of the Cumberland s
most important centers and ex-
hanges in this section Of the state, II
should need no further prodding to u
ring about a prompt investigation
nd reformation OF present unsatis-
actory conditions. u

An Efficient Local Lobbyist.

z. S. Vickers, the Wide-aWake sec
retary-manager of the South IouisI
ana Fair Association, returned yes
terday morning from Baton Rouge
where he spent several days in tbs
interest of the bill introduced by
Representative Martin of st. James
parish, making an appropriation OF
$3.50 to each parish holding an an
nual fair or belonging to a regularly
organized association that conducts
such an exposition of the products
and resources of district or group
of parishes. The measure as origin
ally framed provided for the eXpendi-
ture Of $4,000 for this purpose dur
ing the ensuing two years, but the
committee to whom the bill was re-
ferred has reduced this amount to
$4,000. The act as amended is ex-
pected to have easy sailing, Mr..
Vickers having been assured of its
passage by many leading legislators.
While in Baton Rouge Mr.. Vickers
put in a good word for the bill in
troduced into the house by Represent
ative Picard of Ascension and into
the senate by Senator Himel of St.
James, amending and re-enacting sec
zion two of Act No. 8 of 1900, so
as to facilitate the Atchafalaya and
Lafourche basin levee boards in
floating the certificates they are au-
thorized to issue in order to meet
the expense of constructing locks at
the head of Bayou Lafourche This
measure is one of much Importance
to the people of the entire Lafourche
valley, and the Representatives in
the general assembly of the parishes
to be benefited by the reopening of
Bayou Lafourche should bestir them
selves to insure its passage.
Mr.. Vickers participated in the
boat ride rendered the members of
the legislature and the party of
farm journal editors Wednesday night
by the Baton Rouge Chamber of
Commerce, and had the pleasure of
making the acquaintance of the visit
ing Journalists who will be the guests
Of this city on July IL and II.

AN IMPORTANT TAX SUIT.

Suit for injunction on behalf OF
Louis N. Boston, Donaldsonville
property owner, was filed last Satur-
ing petitioners property for non
payment of the parish tax for 1913.
The object of the litigation is to
test the legality of the provision in
the city charter exempting residents
Of Donaldsonville from the payment
OF parish taxes, and with this point
in view the suit will be carried to the
supreme court for ruling This
provision of the charter has not been
availed of by the property owners of
the city, and at the last meeting of
the commission council Mayor Lem
ann called attention to this fact and
moved that the city attorney be au-
thorlzed to file suit in the name of
some consenting delinquent taxpayer,
the cost of the action to be borne
by the city. The motion was adopt
ed and the proceeding instituted in
Mr. Boston's name is to be prescott
ed under this agreement.
The question involved in the liti-
cation is of interest to a number of
other towns and cities in Louisiana,
and il the supreme court should de-
eide that the provision of our city
charter granting the exemption from
parochial taxes is unconstitutional,
these municipalities Will be asked to
Join Donaldsonville in carrying the
matter before the general assembly
with a view to having the necessary
legislation enacted to carry the ex-
emptlon into effect.
