ROADS INCREASE RATE
ON SAND AND GRAVEL

| There will come up for hearing be-
fore the next meeting of the Railroad
Commission to be held the latter part
of this month, or early in July, a very
important rate case affecting good
roads building materials, such as sand.
gravel, stone and shells, and should it
be so unfortunate that the railroad
companies succeed in getting the pres
ent high rates on these materials in
creased, it will mean that the good
roads movement and metal surfaced
road construction, together with con-
crete bridges and culverts, will be at
an end in this State, requiring years to
recover from such a setback. To forego
such danger to the people at this
time, 1t behooves every public-spirited
citizen and official to thwart the rates
on good roads materials, and you are
respectfully requested and urged to
petition the Railroad Commission not
to err in rendering their decision.
Considering the great and many
benefits to be derived by the railraod
companies in the increased tonnage Of
agricultural products and the develop
ment of our State due to the construc-
ton of good roads in which these ma
terials are used, it is obvious that
should and changes in the rates on
this good roads material be made at
all, the question of decrease, and not
of increase, should be seriously con-
sidered, and that fiat rate of ten
dollars per car should be the maximum
on all good roads building materials,
such as the above, to any point in the
State.

Editors of The True Democrat,
ST. Francisville, La:
The two articles on the editorial page
OF your issue of June 18th, entitled,
Time to Wake Up" and Whats the
Matter With West Feliciana?" are, in
my judgment, timely and thoroughly
sound and sensible utterances. trust
that they will be pondered carefully by
every tax payer in the parish, for, In

7ocated-good roads and bridges-de-
ponds the future growth of the parish.
Having some interest in the parish, it
lis needless TO say that | shall be In
hearty accord with any businesslike
plan that will hasten the day when the
parish decides to place itself in the
rank of the other progressive parishes
of the State.
| have several friends now who are
looking for lands, and when | recon-
mend them to look over West FeIiciana,
the first question is, What kind of
roads has the parish?" Are they do
ing what East Baton Rouge is doing?"
The roads of the parish are Its arte-
ries through which flows its life blood.
If they are good, the parish enjoys good
health and prosperity; if only fair, the
parish can only expect to exc out
mere existence. A full and an abundant
life is wanted-then spread the slogan,
Good Roads and Good Bridges for
West Feliciana Parish, so that any citi-
zen can travel any road in any kind of
weather" This doctrine adopted, be-
lieye no parish would forge ahead
faster No one should hold back be-
cause some one, in his Judgment, will
profit a little more than himself. No
improvement benefits everybody in the
same degree, but any Improvement
does benefit everybody in some degree.
| trust that the people of the parish
will be mighty host realizing that
their future prosperity hangs in the
balance and that they are prepared to
act in unison and enthusiastically to
accomplish such needed Improvements.
Trusting that my views may not be
considered as obtrusive, and assuring
you that my faith in the future of the
parish caused me to cast my lot among
you, am,

POSTAL SAVINGS
SYSTEM EXTENDED

Every person In the United States
ten years old or over may open an &C.
count In a postal savings bank after
July lst, according to an instructive
leaflet on the Postal Savings System
just issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extension
of the service will be made possible by
permitting persons living in communi-
ties so sparsely settled as not to justify
the designation of their local post
offices as regular savings banks to
open accounts by mail.
Under the plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor, resid-
ing where there is no regularly desig-
mated postal savings bank, will apply
to his local postmaster who will see
that necessary Identification data is
prepared and forwarded to a nearby
post Office authorized to accept de-
posits. The intending depositor will
then be given permission to forward
his first and subsequent deposits by
money order or registered mail direct
to the postmaster at the banking point
for which receipts or certificates will
be issued. He may withdraw all or any
part of his postal savings by mail and
on demand together with any interest
that may be due him.

GRANDFATHER CLAUSE
RECEIVES DEATH BLOW

The Oklahoma grandfather clause
was annulled as unconstitutional Mon
day by the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States.
The grandfather clause" In the An
napolis Md election statute was also
annulled.
The court held that the State of
Oklahoma had not meant to provide a
literary test for its voters, If the re-
striction as to those qualified to vote
in 1856 was illegal, and hence struck
down that test, although holding that
standing alone such test is constitu-
tional. The decision was unanimous.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision, holding that it was viola
ton of the 18th amendment to select
an arbitrary date, such as 1865, In fix
ing the qualification of voters.
The decision, 1t is believed, will ap.
ply to grandfather clause" legislation
in many Southern States.

FRANKS SENTENCE
WAS COMMITTED

Leo M. Franks death sentence was
committed to life Imprisonment Mon
day by Governor Slaton of Georgia.
Announcement of the Governors de-
clsion came several hours after Frank
had been secretly taken from the Jail
at Atlanta and hurried to the State
prison farm at Milledgeville. Frank
was sentenced to be hanged Tuesday
for the murder of Mary Phagan in
April, 1913.
Gov. Slaton still was at his country
home when he announced his decision
on the case over the telephone to the
Associated Press. In making this an
nouncement the Governor dictated the
following brief statement:
"All that / ask is that the people of
Georgia read my statement of the
reasons why committed Leo M.
Franks death sentence to life impris-
onment before they pass Judgment.
Feeling, as | do about this case /
would be a murderer if / allowed this
man to hang. 1t may mean that must
live in obscurity the rest of my days,
but | would rather be blowing in the
field than to feel for the rest of my
life that had that mans blood on my
hands,"
