FEARS CUT IN TAXES MAY GO
TOO FAR

Under the above caption, the Mil
waukte Sentinel of last Thursday
prints the following interview with
Senator George B. Skogmo, of this
city.
The question of high taxes is
not to be treated lightly, l can as
sure you of that" said Senator
George B. Skogmo of River Falls,
who was In Milwaukee on Wednes.
day. II is a burnt lg question all
over the state. 1t is the big quest
ion of the hour and bids fair to be-
come the issue of the state cam
paign.
What am afraid of is that the
people in their indignation may turn
things upside down and go TOO far
in their efforts to rid themselves of
burden such as they ought not TO
carry. Il is certain that every can
didate for the legislature this year
will have to pledge him self in such
3 manner that he cannot get away
from it, that he will do all he can to
reduce the expenses of the state
government. /, for one, although /
am holdover, am willing to pledge
myself to support any movement
which will reduce the burden of tax
alton. What we need and can
have is more efficiency with less ex-
penditure of money. l am certain
that this can be brought about My
fear is that in their present feeling
the people may start something
which will go too far"
Senator Skogmo said that the
people in his section of the state
were one with those in the south
west in opposition to the present
highway law. They wished to have
a return to the system where the
building of good roads would be
placed in the hands of the counties.
1T is felt" said he, that there is
altogether too much waste in the
present system of building of high
ways. The people believe that if
this work is placed in the hands of
the county officials, the roads will
not cost near SO much as the present
overhead expense will be eliminated.
But we must have a reduction in
state expenditures. That must
come whatever else happens
This can be done and even great
er efficiency in the state depart
ments can be secured in my opinion.
We can keep what is good and elm
mate that which is not needed in
the different departments and COM
missions. In this way l believe
that much money can be saved to
the state and thus reduce the bur-
dens which the taxpayers have to
carry"

St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-31
The Gun Toter.

Commenting on a recent sug-
gestion in the News that a Lou
isiana court, in assessing a fine
for both the city and for the
parish against gun-toter, should
also have assessed one for the
u. s., the Lake Charles Times is
of the opinion that the sugges-
ton is a good one and says:
In Louisiana fully one-half OF
the murders are committed by
professional gun-toters.
THAT doesn't apply to Louis
lana alone. The professional
gun-toter is the one responsible
for most of the killings in Louis
iana-and in Texas, and Illinois,
and New York. The average,
orderly citizen doesn't commit
murder, because in the first
place, he isn't the sort of cow
ard who thinks he has to have a
gun as part of his wardrobe, and
secondly, because his instincts
are all against the taking Of a
human life. The most peace
able man in the world will arm
himself, and if possible shoot
first If he believes his life endan-
gered or threatened. But the
peaceable man, the l~aW-abiding
man, is not very often so threat
ened. He keeps out of places
that are liable to result in threats
of any kind; he keeps out OF COM
pany that is provocative Of dis
pute. And he is therefore re-
sponsible for but a very small
per cent of the total number of
violent deaths. It's the mar
who wants trouble who carries a
|gun-and uses it on slight prov
ocation, or no provocation at all.
Which makes it reasonably &C.
curate to say that the average
gun-toter wants to kill, and is
simply looking for an excuse. It
is rather difficult to imagine any
penalty too severe for that sort
of person. The filming, even in
large amounts, seems hardly to
come up to the degree Of the
crime. Lake Charles Times.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-31

trade, saving his money, laying
the basis for the fortune he died
possessed of. His employer
having died, he succeeded him.
His steady habits, genial DISPOSE
ton and sterling honesty brought
to him more than his share of
business.
The pennies were soon con-
verted to dollars; humble sur
roundings gave way to better
Accommodations. With the flight
of years, his business prospered
until it outgreW the one store
idea. One-half block was soon
required; later on another lot
was purchased when for the first
time, Opelousas beheld a large
three story brick building within
it's midst.
All this was the work of JAG
ques Sandoz. The poor boy had
by dint Of energy, frugal habits,
and rugged honesty, risen to be
~ %
one Of the city's largest tax
payers. His good fortune did
not spoil him. To us he was al
ways the same old boy we
had known forty-five years ago.
A smile on his face with the
right hand Of fellowship, was his
manner of greeting his friends.
Within a week Of his death,
the writer was joking him of
the days that were no more
he laughed and smiled as he al
ways did.
Disease had weighed heavily
upon him. Almost helpless his
geniality and good humor never
deserted him. AS we parted. he
grasped my hand and shook it
warmly. / little thought then
that within a week. he would be
with us no more. Such is life.
He is gone the way of all the
earth. Let us hope that after
life's ftful fever, he sleeps well.
The sermon | started out to
preach to the young men of this
city was this: This poor boy,
with no wealthy connections,
with only his strong arm and
devotion to duty, had risen from
his humble surroundings to af-
fluent circumstances, by dint Of
hard work, frugal habits and
attention to character.
His lifework is a legacy TO his
children; it ought be an inspira-
ton to the poor boys Of this com
munity. Il some hard working
