SH0fher Judicial Reform

Referring to letter published in it's
columns the Times-Picayune supports the
proposition therein proposed by the writer
that "all Louisiana judges should be prohi-
bited from sitting in any case or having
anything to do with any case, where either
counsel or litigsnts are related to them
within the fifth degree of relationship"
The Times-Picayune sees merit in the
suggestion and thinks that such provision
should be written in the next constitution.
There may be grounds that would
justify the passage of such a law, especially
in regard to cases in which the Judge is re-
lated to the litigant, but so far there does
not appear to be much demand for the pas
sageof such law. In the country parishes
there are many attorneys practicing who are
connected with the trial judges, and we
know Of cases in which advantage has been
taken as result Of such relationship 1t
would probably be bad policy for lawyer to
appear in criminal cases before a Judge
closely related to him. Such a sweeping
provision in our laws would be i'll advised,
and even though necessary, such provision
should not be made part Of the constitu-
ton. Existing laws provide for recusation
of Judges, when Necessary. The adoption
Of the plan proposed would produce no end
of trouble in the country parishes.

Have Patience

President Wilson and his cabinet had a
little real business meeting Wednesday at
which several hours were devoted to re-
view of financial affairs. MIR. McAdoo having
launched his optimistic report showing the
rapidity with which the Reserve Banks were
relieving the financial stress, time was next
given to the condition of the finances OF the
government. 1t developed that the expen-
dituros of the government for the current
year would exceed revenues by few humid
red million dollars The remedy was easy,
issue more war stamps and abrogate the
three thousand dollar limit now existing in
the provisions of the incdme taXlaw. This
would increase the revenues, but the ex-
penses must still be decreased. The decrease
can be accomplished by cutting out, or
Gripping, the rural free delivery and by
dropping the proposed appropriation
for Rivers and Harbors. The farmers and
the people living along the Mississippi alone
will be affected, and as the south is demo-
cratic anyway, this is the most feasible way
of handling the situation. On the face OF
the papers it looks hard, but we, of the south,
have an abiding faith in MIR. Wilson and his
cabinet, and believe that in time they will
do the right thirg ly us-unless the repub-
leans get their scalrs befcre an opportunity
precents itself. Criticism should be with
held. There is no doubt that Mr.. Wilson
will be reelected President, and we feel sure
that in his second tenn he will make practi-
cal application Of the kindly sentiments that
he has so often expressed towards the south.

Build Now

The firms engaged in the Iuilding
trades in Augusta, Ga, have adopted prac-
tical and sensible method of stimulating
business. They need employment for their
men and their money, and the city needs
houses and business structures. But every
body has been holding back because-well,
because everybody else was holding back.
The problem faced by the builders is simply
the overcoming to their fellow-citizens' iner-
tia. So they have all joined in an appeal to
the public Of Augusta, pointing out the ad-
vantages OF building now" instead of after
a while.
The firms explain that they can build
today for $4,000 house that in ordinary
times would cost $4,000 They show that
reductions for construction work range from
10 to Is per cent compared with the prices
that prevailed before the business depression
came. They are not cutting under market
prices for such work, they are simply point
ing out the great economy of building now,
while market prices are low.
The situation is much the same in most
other cities. Not for many years have
building materials been so cheap. 1t is the
strategic time to erect houses and stores and
factories and public buildings. With the
inevitable wave of prosperity, prices will
rise again and the money won't go so far.
Meanwhile, by judicious expenditures in
constructive work, those who have the money
can not only get more for it but can relieve
unemployment and hasten the good times

We have labored under the impression
that we are practically on free-trade basis,
and that the revenue from war stamps and
the income tax would make up the deficiency
due to the repeal of the tariff, but the pres
ent shortage in federal revenues indicates
that we still depend, in large measure on
the tariff for necessary funds to meet ex.
penses.

The British government has declared
wheat contraband. This action results from
the imperial order issued in Germany putting
wheat under the control of the Government,
the contention being that hereafter all ship
.ments to that country will in effect be for
use of the army. This action will further
complicate the situation in regard to the
Dacia.
