Favors a Deposit Guarantee Lave.

The Seminal fully realizes the i'm
portance of revising the banking laws
Of he state, and we sincerely trust
the bill already prepared viii be one
al can agree on and support. Should
there be split, however, the result,
in our opinion, will be the passage OF
the guarantee law, such as Oklahoma
and a few other states have. The
more We have studied the banking
laws and the needs OF the state, the
more we have come to favor the
guarantee law. 1t would be the best
thing that could possibly happen to
the banks, from the standpoint OF de-
posits, and the more the banks have
to invest and loan the more there
will be in circulation and therefore
the better it will be for the country.
Lots Of money would be deposited
in banks if it could be known the
money would not be lost even il the
bank did fail, and that the state
would step in and pay the depositor
dollar for dollar, and that, too, imme-
diately after the bank fails. This
would be done by assessing each
bank very small amount on daily
balances. The people would be fully
protected, and yet they would not
be called upon to pay for that pro-
lection in the way of taxes. There
is much merit in the guarantee law

What is the Gamer

| Now that the parties and sources
responsible for the failure of the
construction of locks in Bayou La
fourche see the people are aroused.
and mean to wait no longer, they
| are shouting at the top of their
voices, poverty, poverty. Truly it
| is as the cry of the wolf for the
third time. it will not be needed.
The same sources admit the federal
government can remove the dam at
the head of the bayou for failure on
the part of the leVea boards in ten
years to have made any effort to give
evidence of their good faith. Be-
cause they fear the federal govern
ment, they try to persuade the peo-
pie into disseminating their fight for
right-the locks-by the quasi-calami@
ty howl Of the levee boards not hay-
ing the money. Agitating the ques-
ton will force the federal government
TO take hand, they say; the dam
will be removed and the country will
be inundated, because the locks can
not be built.
The time to have thought of such
nonsense was ten years ago, and had
as much solicitation been felt for
the people then as Is ostensibIy eE-
pressed at present, the money, item
mills per year) collected from the
taxpayers for ten years or more for
The purpose of building leVees, set
aside in fund to build locks, would
now be at hand. II the dam were re-
moved money would have to be SEE
cured for levees or for locks. as we,
the taxpayers, certainly have paid It.
Private interests are using some
OF the people to stage the holler now
arising from interested quarters, and
particularly from corners where the
very idea Of the locks being built
was always ridiculed. The people
We're deceived, facts were misrepre-
sented, otherwise the dam never
would have been allowed. Uncle Sam
has never closed to navigation any
navigable stream, SO either the locks
We're intended Or they were not,
either we were in good faith or In
bad faith. Agitation can only put
the honest right, the dishonest wrong.

Have Faith in the Home Man.

1t is true today as it was 1900
years ago that "a prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun-
try The lack Of appreciation by
home people has caused many a man
to leave town AMI seek a new COM
munity in which to begin an enter
prise. Thus new industry which
might have helped this town to grow
was lost because its people lacked
faith in the home man.
The man who gees away and sue
ceeds is readily acknowledged by the
people Of his home town as a genius.
Many an inventor and many projcc-
tor Of new enterprises has had this
experience; it is common, indeed, to
all mankind. Persons in many COM
munities have net sufficiently appre-
ciated what their neighbors were ac-
complishlng or could achieve, and so
many man has gone elsewhere and
found the recognition that was denied
him at home.
Give credit and backing to the
home man. Have faith in him and
encourage him. If this is done fully
and freely it will go q long way to-
ward keeping at home many man
who otherwise will go elsewhere to
find moral and financial backing.
There is genius in this town as
we'll as in any other. If you know
OF man who has something to de-
velop, don't let him go elsewhere.
Help him to get a start right here.
Commercial enterprises are bene-
fit O any town, and we should have
sufficient pride in this town to want
il to grow

South Coming Into Her Own.

''The south, as an agricultural sec

and once she falls into her stride
there is scarcely any limit to her pos

WelLznoWn newspaper man on the
staff Of the New York World, in the
first OF a series of articles on Down

the February IA issue OF The Country

mental reason today for the south to
lead the nation in the production of
beef cattle, pork and mutton; more
over, there is everywhere in the

discovered evidence to prove that the
possibilities are being capitalized and

The Locks Must Be Built.

The above is the4new slogan adopt
ed by the citizens of Assumption, St.
Mary, Lafourche and Ascension, who
have formed a permanent organiza-
ton with the sole object of building
the locks in Bayou Lafourche The
demonstration made by the citizens
Of the above parishes at the joint
levee board meeting LeId last Monday
in Donaldsonville was the strongest
and most unanimous gathering as
S2n JIed in south Louisiana for many
days. The members of the Lafourche
and Atchafalaya levee boards were
appealed, 10 and requested to eonsid-
er the building Of locks, and after a
discussion of the subject, a vote on.
the question Of considering the cost
Of building locks resulted in tie,
and the matter was referred to
Governor Hall for final decision. On
Thursday the governor. took I'D the
matter and again a large delegation
appeared IN Baton Rouge, asking that
estimates for the building of locks be
obtained by the levee boards. The
governor agreed that the Ievee boards
should secure estimates and take
definite action in the construction of
locks in Bayou Lafourche.
With the efforts being made by
Congressman Morgan and the aggres-
sive campaign being conducted by the
Lock Association, it is beginning to
look brighter for the early construc-
ton of the locks. There are quite
4 number of our people who were
doubtful at first, who are now awak-
3ning to the fact that the locks are
going to be built, and that it is
shame they were not built years ago

LafQurche | ocks.

The New Orleans Item adds the
weight of its editorial opinion and
judgment to the practically unani-
nous voice Of the city press in ia
vor Of the early construction of locks
to replace The dam that shuts off
connection between the Mississippi
river and Bayou Lafourche:
Those citizens OF DonaldsonVille
and elsewhere in the Lafourche region
who urged upon the Atchafalaya and
Lafourche leVee boards the construc-
ton Of locks across the head of Ba-
you Lafourche, in place Of the TEN
porary dam erected there, are emf
nentIy right in their contention.
Which does not alter the truth of
the plea advanced by the levee board
members that the two levee boards
concerned have no money with which
to do this work.
The temporary dam was construct
ed after permission had been obtain
ed from the federal government to
close a navigable stream by the
promise that the dam would soon be
removed and the locks substituted.
Regulation of the outflow through
Bayou Lafourche was necessary, and
in lieu of regulation, complete stop
page, because the increasing height
of the Mississippi floods made the
burden Of leveeing all Bayou La
tourche more than the affected COM
munity could stand.
Bayou Lafourche, like Bayou Pla-
quemine, Bayou Manchac and the
Atchafalaya, were once all outlets for
the lower Mississippi. Bayou Pa
quemine is closed by locks and af-
fords no outlet. Bayou Manchac has
been closed by leyees for many, many
years. Bayou Lafourche is damned.
The Atchafalaya alone remains open,
but is uncontrolled
All should be open TO the Missis-
sippi, with locks AMI control spill
ways preventing all danger of floods.
Thus navigation, flood protection,
would both be gained.
There should be a basis On which
the Lafourche locks could be CON
structed. Without them, the people
IN that region, though they have gain
ed measure of flood protection, suf-
fer monopoly of theinehusiness that
IS expensive and an - price for
them to pay for a par Renefit.
