OUTFLOW OF GOLD
STACGERS EUROPE
Upsetting of Economical Condi-
tons May Diminish Labor De-
mand and Cause Trouble
After the War.
BY FRANC w. AiRsT.
Editor of 1.-THE Economist"

London, Specialists war continues,
with British and German expenditures
FOR war alone reaching a total of prob
ably $1,000. 600 a day, the outflow OF
surplus gold from Europe to the United
States n to all neutral countries must
increase. Even Spain has taken about
81, 600, 900 worth of the precious metal
from London lately. Japan will prob
ably receive a great amount from Rus
sia In return for M lnitions. Blu what
will happen when gold become Il drug
In neutral markets and belligerentS can
offer nothing else in return for i'm
ports? L see from Japanese papers that
Russo-Japanese merchant fleets, which
carry on trade between NladiVostok
and Japan. after raising freight rates,
have insisted since August 10 that
freights be paid in Japanese currency,
thus avoiding the depreciation in the
ruble. Gradual dissipation of great
European gold boards, together with
excessive issues Of ~inconNertiblc paper
on the continent, may have upon gold
an effect similar to that denomination
had Upon silver after 1870. Gold may
become cheap n purchasing power
may TALL further. Gold prices will rise,
and after the war or perhaps before its
end The double consequence OF rising
prices and diminished demand for la
Dor will cause universal discomfort
among the poor.
Today's meeting Of parliament. fol-
lowing the trade union congress-, will
clear the political air. Conflicts in the
cabinet over CONSUMPTION may be de-
layed till finance is settled and the
Dardanelles issue decided. The budget
is the principal dish. The chief con-
%tribution to new taxation will probably
be through the income tax being In"
creased both as to It's rate and its
scope, a scheme which most business
men prefer to any increase In the en-
heritance tax. M hundred millions IN
new taxes are freely predicted. Pro-
longation Of war makes public and pri-
Nate economies essential.
According to The Times Lloyd
Georges criticism Of trade unions has
produced resentment. Peril of ever
straining Industrial workers was em-
phasized at British association meet
ings. Overwork usually means more
strikes rather than increased produce
ton. Government factory inspectors
drew attention to this aspect, appar.
entity overlooked by Lloyd George, who

To do this there must fae a wise govern

JUMPS ON RAILROAD
FOR DANMING BAYOU
Catlett Calls Attention of Jurors to
Dam on Petit Prairie.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TOLD
TO FILE SUIT
Member from Fourth Ward Scores
Texas &, Pacific for Disregarding
Order of Police Jury.
'olice Juror K. I. Catlett of Rosa

Police Juror K. I. Catlett of Rosa
Station boldly asserted in the
police jury room on last Monday
evening that the Texas & Pacific
railroad had no regard for the
police ury or the people of St
Landry parish. Last year we
passed a resolution requesting the
Texas & Pacific to remove dam
on the Bayou Petit prarie, with
in ninety days, authorizing our
district attorney to proceed too sue
in the event that the railroad did
not obey our bidding. We have
waited three months on the rail-
road and nine months on the dis
trict attorney, and nothing has
been accomplished in the way of
relieving the tax payers in that
section Of my ward.'
Mr.. Catlett stated that the Tex
as & Pacific had placed two cul-
verts in the bayou which would
allow 81 square feet of water
pass through it, but which was
hundred square feet of water. TIL
expected to carry Off. twenty-one
consequence is that the water is
backed up for several miles up the
bayou, forcing many highlands to
po 11ndnr wafer
That Mr.. Catlett is determined
to go after the railroad company
which is so impudent as to disre-
gard the wishes of the police jury
as allowing such a dam to remain
in one of the most important bay
ons in the northeastern section nf
St. Landry, is evident from the
manner in which he spoke to the
ohter members of the police jury
here last Monday. He has the.
backing of all of his constituents
andit is thought that the district
attorney will file suit against the.
company within the next few
days.

JURY URGE LAWLER
FOR STATE POSITION
Resolution Supporting Opelousas
Man for Agricultural Com.
BRUNER WILL HAVE A
STRONG OPPONENT.
Friends of Mr.. LawIer Throughout
the State Are Encouraging Him
to Make the Race.

Immediately following the adj
ournment of the police jury of the
Parish Of st. Landry Tuesday, the
members held an informal and
purely non-official meeting and
unanimously passed the following
resolution:
Whereas, our fellow-citizen, JOS.
G. LaWler, is being urged by a
number Of his friends to become a
candidate for Commissioner Of ag-
rieulture and immigration, his
ability and wide acquaintanceship
with the needs Of the State of Lou
isiana will fit him to fill this posi-
ton
Therefore, be it resolved, That
this informal meeting of the un-
dersigned hereby urge the said
Lawler to announce bis candidacy
for the said position, and should he
do SO we take this means of COM
mending him to the agricultural
and business of the State.
Be it further resolved, That in
our opinion, his experience as a
practical farmer, his thorough
knowledge of the resources and
needs of the state and his known
honesty and integrity pre-eminent-
ly qualify him to fill this important
position.
Mr.. Lawler has been mentioned
as a probable candidate against
E. O. Bruner and from indications
over the state it is probable that
the Opelousas man will announce
his candidacy for Commissioner OF
Agriculture. His friends through
out the state are beseiging him with
letters, demanding that he make
the race.
It is stated that st. Landry will
line up practically solid behind the
candidacy of Mr.. LaWler, as this
parish is very anxious to have one
of its citizens in the chair, which
means much to the agricultural
development of this state.

Beautiful life with the crown now won,

Rest from all sorrows and watching and

claims. Louisiana claimants
many of whom are from st. Lam

1921, 1888.
One feature of the passage OF
the claims bill in the United States
Senate is a provision forbidding
the collection of more than 20 per
cent of the total by the attorney.
Imprisonment and a fine of $1,000
is the penalty for violating this
provision. Most attorneys are on a
so per cent basis.
