How the National Parties Stand on
Woman Suffrage.

How the National Parties Stand on
Woman Suffrage.
Every national political plat
form now contains a plank for
woman suffrage. The Progress
sive plank declares for equal suf-
frage by State and National
amendment.
The Republican plank reads:
THE Republican party, reaffirm-
ing its faith in government of
the people by the people and for
the people, as a measure of JUS
tice to one half of the people of
this country, favors the extern
sion Of suffrage to women, but
recognizes the right of each State
to settle this question for itself. -
The Democratic plank is: I'VE
recommend the extension of suf.
frage to women by the States
upon the same terms as to men. y
The analysis of these planks is
simple. The Progressive advo.
Gates amendments to State anc
National Constitutions. Both
Republicans and Democrats speci.
fy State rights method. This
was the means asked by thu
Southern States Woman Suffrage
Conference, and is the accepted
route for Southern States, while
it in no sense conflicts with any
other portion of our country. :

The Work of the Legislature.

The Work of the Legislature.
The Legislature of Louisiana
met on Monday, May 8, and the
sixty days of its session will ex-
pire at midnight on Thursday,
July 6. Gov. Pleasant was in
augurated on May 15and has had
a legislature almost entirely fav-
orable to his administration,
therefore all the laws enacted by
the legislature may fairly be at
tributed to him, or at least they
must be approved by him if they
are to become laws.
The session has witnessed the
usual food of bills, the total num-
ber introduced being 68S. OF
which 244 are Senate bills, and
444 house bills. About 400 OF the
bills introduced have been re-
ported unfavorably, leaving 28S
bills that will probably be made
into laws. Many of the bills in
troduced were absurdities and
should never have even been pre-
sented to take up the time of the
legislature. However, it seems
that the people will frequently
elect cranks to the legislature,
and there is no remedy against
foolish bills, except to smother
them in the committees that have
to be appointed for that purpose.
Some of the bills that have
been or will be enacted into law
appear to us to be rather doubt
full of meeting with popular ap-
proval. In particular we believe
the law to levy three-fourths OF
mill special tax to relieve the
State of debt, and the laws Gre
ating appointive Offices, will be
especially obnoxious, and there
are others.
AS yet, however, we have not
had opportunity to read and di-
gest any of the proposed laws. or
to understand the need for them
and do not wish to go >on record
as opposed to them. Our re-
marks are based on reading SUI
perfcial newspaper reports and
comments, and are merely first
impressions that we prefer tc
consider and investigate more
fully before passing judgment
of approval or condemnation.
We are. disposed to favor the
proposition to issue SIS, 900, 00(
State bonds to build good roads.
Mr.. Alexander's plan or system,
however, seems to materially
vary from the system of the
State Highway Department, and
we think the crudities and con
flicts of the plan should be
straighted out by the highway
department, and all expenditures
made and roads built under the
present rules governing the de-
partment.

How 1t Works in Grant Parish.

The abolishment of the fee
system is said to give the officers
of Grant parish a better salary
and a more certain and satisfac-
tory wage than when they had
to depend on the collection of
fees. 1t remains to be seen
whether the general public SER
vice has been benefited by the
change.

The Grant Parish School Fund.

As the subject of the school
funds in Grant parish is up for
discussion we have gone to the
pains of ascertaining how much
the parish receives from all
sources, which we find to be as
follows:
From State current fund .$l2, 900 90
High school appropriation 49,. 632 80
Agricultural appropriation =. 45O %
Domestic science .......,......... 393 IL
Interest from 10th sections. l,2OO 90
Total from State. .$l4. GIG 90
From poll taxes es. 1,500 90
From all special taxes-......... 35.OO0 w
From police jury mills....... 10, 700 W
Total from all sources $6l, S76 90
From this it appears that the
sixty odd schools in Grant parish
have SCI, 876 to run on-an aver
age of less than one thousand
dollars for each school. AS the
high schools will each require
from $4, 600 to SIS, 900, it takes no
figuring at all in the face of con-
stantly decreasing assessments
to see the necessity for providing
more money for the schools if
they are to run full terms and be
maintained at the proper stand
ard of efficiency.
In other words, it is up to the
people of Grant parish to provide
the funds necessary to run the
schools on an efficient basis.
How is this to be done? We re-
ply, by the only sensible and just
plan of levying special taxes,
which bear equally upon all in
their just proportion of wealth.
The wealthy man should pay his
just proportion to the schools the
same as he pays to maintain any
other community enterprise. ano
the poor man will only pay his
mite in the same just proportion
The tax dodger and the tax re-
sister always have an unjust anC
exaggerated view as to the bur
densomeness of special taxes
They are always for some specia
benefit to the community as
whole, and for that reason as
rule they should be voted for a!
a matter of public spirit anC
pride in the general welfare.

AswelI Should Be Kept in Congress.

The time is drawing near III
which the people of the Eighth
Congressional district of Louisi-
ana will be called upon to select
the man who is to represent them
in Congress for the next two
years. In some of the districts
candidates for election next fall
are already in the field, and an
active canvass for votes in their
behalf has been in progress for
weeks.
In view of the eminent party
services of Hon. j. B. Aswell,
and his splendid equipment and
fitness for the position. we feel
prompted to say that we do not
believe the Eighth district can
possibly do better than to return
him to Congress for another term.
Our knowledge of the men who
have represented US in Congress
extends over a period Of forty
years. Among those who have
represented us in all that time
Mr.. Aswell stands pre-eminent
as an effective worker, respected
and honored by his associates in
the halls of Congress, and recog-
nized and valued by leading party
men as a man endowed with the
ability to be of eminent service
to the State and Nation. We
call attention to Mr.. Aswell's ac-
complishments without any dis
paragement of the work of those
who have have heretofore repre-
sented US in Congress, for the
reason that he has been so emf
nently successful and fortunate
in the measures that he has
championed. Call it luck, if you
will, but we imagine most per.
sons prefer to have a Representa-
tive who has a lucky star.
AS a rule in Louisiana it has
been the practice to retire our
members of Congress after one
or two terms. This practice has
initiated against our effective
representation in the halls OF
Congress, for the reason that il
takes one or two terms in Wash.
ington for a man to get acquaint.
ed with the vast machinery OF
our government and the men
who attend the movement of its
intricacies, We know that most
men of ordinary attainments
fiatter themselves that they un.
derstand these things, and as
sumo that they can be of great
benefit to their constituents and
the country at large, but the fact
remains that the great majority
of men elected to Congress are
but poor figure-heads, and sci
dom ever accomplish anything
worthy of note.
Mr.. Aswell has been a marked
exception to this rule. He ha:
introduced and had Congress t.
pass a number of notable bill.
not necessary to enumerate here
and his ability and activities have
won the attention and admiration
not only of his constituents ant
his associates in Congress, but o.
the country at large. In addi
tion to his services in Congress
Mr.. Aswell has won considerabl,
notoriety as an orator of pleasing
address and effectiveness, ant
his services in this line have be
come of recognized worth to tn,
State and Nation. He is now a
the zenith of his ability to b.
useful, and for this reason w
feel that we would honor our
selves, honor the State and Ma
ton, and bestow deserved homo
on Mr.. Aswell, by keeping hin
in Congress.

RESOLUTION TO REPEAL
FREE SUGAR CLAUSE

Washington, March 2S.-Senate
Democrats in caucus last night voted
to substitute for the house resolution
repeating the free sugar clause of
tariff act a resolution extending the
present duty of l cent a pound until
1920. The vote on the substitute,
which was recommended by Demo
cratic members of the finance com
mittee was 23 to I.
Senators Broussard and Ransdell
of Louisiana vigorously opposed the
substitute declaring that four year
extension was no assurance to Louis
lana sugar growers and producers
and that It would fail to restore ac-
tivity to the sugar industry in that
state.
Five other democratic senators
voted with the Louisiana senators.
II was predicted that there would be

the senate proposal was returned TO
the house for concurrence.
