"cOUsIN BOB" IN LIMELIGHT

Our distinguished United States Sem
ator cousin Bob" Broussard is once
more on the political serene. He has had
the undaunted bravery Of 1atfootedly
announcing that he was a supporter of
Porteous Burke, the Democratic nomi-
nee for delegate to the constitutional con-
vention from Iberia. Think of the un-
mitigated gall! What a political hero is
Bob Broussard!
Now that Senator Broussard has
been SO severely criticized by the Demo-
Gratis of Louisiana for having Topped
during the famous Bull Moose invasion
of the Third Congressional District last
Fall and fearing that he is in bad odor
with the voters of this state the Iberia
politician seems to be willing to come out
openly in favor Of Democracy. This
won't do, however, Cousin Bob. The
staunch and loyal Democrats of Louis
lana are not forgetful; they will not for
get what a political hypocrite you are
and how you treated the party which
has repeatedly honored you, when the
Bull Moose movement was started in
your own district.

convention because he thinks that it is
for the best interests of the state.
In perusing Mr.. Thomas pamphiet
we find that he asserts, like other dis
tinguished Louisiana statesmen, that the
Hall administration has been a failure,
has broken down the finances OF the
state. We admit the Hall adminlstra-
ton has many shortcomings, but are not
Thomas and his crowd Of carefully
groomed candidates largely responsible
for many of the failures of the Hall ad-
ministration?
Thomas is a veritable old topper, Il
chronic kicker and his arguments against
the constitutional convention should not
be considered seriously, because they
amount to absolutely naught and go to
make a conglomeration of words.

in hands, assisting the farmers and prop
erty owners to build good roads.
Louisiana has a good roads day just
like Kentucky, but as yet there have been
very few people who have taken advan-
tage Of that day to attend to the promo
ton of good highways. Why could not
the taxpayers of Louisiana, from the
north to the south and from Texas to
Mississippi, get together and all go on
the roads, with the necessary implements
and materials to build good roads for one
or two days? Why can't we do like the
people Of Fulton county, Kentucky?
Let's all GO crazy on good roads.

CAPITOL REMOVING

The subject of removing the state
capitol has once more been revived, this
time with some degree Of earnestness.
Alexandria is making a big fuss over the
prospects of being awarded the state
house by the constitutional convention.
Alexandria has long been recog-
nized as one of the most progressive cit
les of Louisiana, but our friends from
Rapides forget that when the matter for
the choosing of a capital city comes up
the Rapides metropolis will surely not be
the only city to contest Baton Rouge for
the capitol.
There is some probability that Ba-
ton Rouge will be caused considerable
un-easiness owe the capitol removal ques-
ton, although the Alexandria dream of
long duration may prove to be only a
mist. One certainty, however, Opelou-
.sas will likely make a fight for the state
house in the event that the delegates to
the constitutional convention should CON
clude that Baton Rouge is no longer
needed as the state capital.
Opelousas is recognized as the most
hospitable place in the state; no one,
whether he be a farmer or a president of
a bank, governor or ward constable, can
say that O%pelousas has not always been
more hospitable than any other city. We
treat them all Alright here and we make
no distinction when it comes to enter
tanning visitors. Hence Opelousas will
have a very strong following among the
working classes of Louisiana and in all
probabilities would have as good a
chance to land the state house as Alex
andria.
Some would believe that Opelousas
would not be in the race for the capitol.
Many think that Alexandria can dazzle
every voter in the state. Tt must not be
forgotten that Opelousas is centrally To-
Gated, enjoys splendid railroad accom-
modations, and is situated in the section
the state which has the biggest voting
strength. # the majority of the voters
residing closer to Opelousas than AIexap-
dria would vote for Opelousas this city
would be the next state capital, without
any degree of doubt.

THE STATE BOARD OF APPRAISERS.

Louisiana has such a body as thu
State Board of Appraisers, the member
of which are elected by the Governor
Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary O
State and the Attorney General. Thl
Board of Appraisers is vested with thu
powers Of increasing Or decreasing thu
assessments of the public service corpora
tons it does exactly what it desires. tht
majority Of the time, not needing sne ap
peals of the "dear peepul," because j
owes absolutely nothing to the genera
mass.
When the voters have nothing to say
about the men who shall compose a body
as important as the State Board of Ap
p~raisers should be. They can expect
nothing from that board. The members
Of the Board of Appraisers can do what
ever they want and the people of Louis
lana need not whimper for they have nc
recourse to take; they cannot have these
men ousted from office; they cannot rea-
sonably expect the members to do their
bidding, because the voters We're never
consulted over the election of the mem
bers of the State Board of Appraisers.
In view of the fact that the public SER
vice corporations, according to statistics
and reliable information, are not paying
their just proportion of the state taxes
and in view of the fact also, that the
State Board of Appraisers, ever since its
existence, has never deemed it proper to
increase the assessments of the trust mo-
nopolies and service corporations the
constitutional convention should either
abolish that Office or should make the Of
fee elective instead Of appointive.
Many politicians who have the in
well as organizations, chief among them
is the Farmers Union, have been advo-
eating the adjustment of the State Board
of Appraisers. The farmers think that
the matter Of assessing the service cor
porations should lie entirely in the hands
of the parish assessors, so that the rail-
roads, mining companies, the telephone
and telegraph companies would be
forced to pay taxes in the same proper
ton as the small farmers.
The service corporations do not pay
one-half, some say one-fourth, of what
they should pay; yet they will monopo-
lie everything in this state, serving only
the communities in which they do bust
ness, while the state treasury is being
depleted.
