St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1916-05-20
PEASANTS INAUGURATION

The inauguration of Governor Pleasant will
go down in history as one Of the most signlfi-
cant events in Louisiana. The crowd which as
sembled at Baton Rouge to do honor to the new
governor was a representative crowd, coming
from the people OF Louisiana.
Governor Pleasant has struck the keynote to
successful administration, in urging for coop
Grafton among the state officials and between
the governor and the legislature.
Louisiana's new governor feels that the as
sessment system is totally wrong, that it needs
fundamental changes; he does not believe, how
ever, in too radical changes, as he points out
that the people of this commonwealth have
been experimenting for too many years on
laws, which have brought no good to Louisiana.
Governor Pleasant goes into of1ivce under
Z most favorable conditions; he has been elected
by the people Of Louisiana, and consequently
does not owe his Office to any particular fac
ton or political clique; he is not bound by the
bosses Of New Orleans, nor does he owe any
thing to the little bosses in the country par
ishes.
There is no doubt that if the legislature and
the state officials, and especially the governor,
pull together, Louisiana will have some of the
most modern and best laws on its statute books
in existence in any state in the Union.
We predict for Governor Pleasant a very sue
cessful and brilliant career as chief of this
great commonwealth

THE FEE BILL

For time Louisiana sheriffs, dur
ably express themselves 4
Ia Of r d n g tn e cost
Of operating their offices, so that the taxpayers
may obtain some little relief from the heavy
burden Of taxation. No sooner, however, the
election is over the Louisiana Sheriffs Associa-
ton, known at Baton Rouge as the Third House,
assemblies in the lobby of the capitol. while the
General Assembly is in session upstairs.
Senator schwing, Of ~Iberville, proposes to
press a bill before the Senate, which will allow
%sherlffs, clerks of court and assessors a salary
Tor their services and which will do away with
the notorious fee system, in vogue SO many
years in this state to the detriment of Louis
lana finances.
Every official in the state should be placed on
q salary basis and paid according to the ser
vices rendered.
Under the proposed plan the sheriff ard
clerk Of court in st. Landry would receive a
net income of $4,000; deputy sherilfs and deputy
clerks would receive just compensation Tor
their services, even more than they arr paid at
AASssh n p PAuPooCu u pay tHe ISS9SSGFS
$4,000, but this official would b. forced TO pay
his assistants out Of this salary. This feature
81 the bill we believe is not just; the assessors
office is the most important in tfle parish it is
through this Office that the state is enabled to-
ascertain from which source lis revenues are
derived. The assessor hes iT ~rnrtant duties TO
perform, can accomplish much fo1 his Parish
- ~
and incidentally for the state, bit On the other
land can play havoc, in tl.e way OF ulderas-
sessing corporations. improvements on lands
end in many other ways.
We believe that the assessor should be al
lowed a living salary: like the sheriff ard the
clerk Of court his assistants, tse ones be really
needs, should be paid out Of the state cetfers.
We believe that the time has como when Tie
voters of Louisiana will openly revolt AGAINST
the fee system; the time is propitiots for doing
away with this abonimable way Of conducting
the business Of our state and is c~ertainiy to be
desired that the legislature will not allow the
Third House. presided over by one Of our very
own distinguished fellow-citizens, to dictate to
them and that the sheriffs and clerks will be
placed on a salary basis. The amount that Mr..
schwing proposes to pay the sheriffs is amee
enough and we believe is a living salary" fol
any man who wishes to become the sheriff,
or clerk of court or assessor of st. Landry.

LOUISIANA PRESS OPINION
WORkMEN's COMPENSATION LAW

Alexandria Town Talk: THE present work
mems compensation act in force in Louisiana
practically places in the hands of casualty in
suranee companies the entire administration of
It's provisions. Instead Of the law requiring the
various industries affected by it to pay into,
say, the state treasury, or to a board appointed
Tor Its administration by the state a certain sum
OF money based upon its pay roll, it permits
each inductry to pay directly to the person in
Jured the amount fixed by the statute. Instead
OF the injured person being dealt with by an
impartial tribunal and paid on that basis, after
having his case investigated by someone who
does not make money by paying as little as
possible, he is dealt with by the employer him
sell, or, verse still, by a casualty company
representative who is interested in paying the
very least amount which the injured person will
accept.

COST OF RUNNING FOR OFFICE

Ruston Leader: To speak plainly, this ex-
pensive purchase of offiee-for it is nothing
else-should be absolutely prohibited by law, for
several reasons, the first. perhaps, Of which is
that it inhibits a poor man from holding office
unless his friends come forward and purchase it
for him. A wealthy man can afford to pur-
chase an office to crafty his ambition-We do
not think such a purchase carries with it much
honor-but a poor man cannot afford to pay
more for an office than its salary pays unless
ne expects to deviate from the straight and nag
row path of honesty-to peculate.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1916-05-20
John 7. Michel.

JOHu l.. MItACis
However, in our opinion, Governor Hall has
made a good record as chief executive of Louis
lana. While we opposed many OF his measures,
we heartily favored others, which we thought
were of vital interest to the state.
If Governor Hall would not have been blocked
by his own administration we think that his
record as governor would have been splendid;
we are convinced that he tried to better condl-
tions in this state, and in doing SO, did his best,
which is all that can be expected of any mortal
being.
While the general public is not in a position
to appreciate what Governor Hall did and at
tempted to do Cor his people, it certainly can
not be denied that he strove to enact into law
practically every prediction pledge. Never
going back on the faction that elected him he
did not hesitate to go into the camp OF the
Regulars to pick out competent men to fill i'm
portant positions.
By electing his opponent in the gubernatorial
fight one of the Orleans assessors and by as
sisting in ~eleeting Robert Ewing National Com
mitteeman, Governor Hall showed explicitly
that he was a broad-minded and liberal officer;
that he was willing for the sake of harmony
within the party to go into the very camp of
the enemy to appoint men who could assist him
in making a splendid record as chief executive
of all the people of Louisiana.
There are many instances where Governor
Hall showed that he was far above ~factional
bitterness.
We repeat that, if Governor Hall would have
been given hearty cooperation of every state
official and employee the record which he sub
mitted to the people of Louisiana, through his
farewell address at Baton Rouge last week,
might and undoubtedly would have been a
great deal better.
The retiring governor has set an example
worthy Of consideration by every one who oc-
cupies the chair vacated by Luther E. Hall at
IL o'clock Monday noon.
The changes brought about in Louisiana dur
ing his administration is summed up as follows
by Ex-Governor Hall:
During the four year period now drawing to
a close, we have had to contend against crop
disasters, financial depressions, hostile tariff
legislation and almost every other difficulty
that could have confronted US, but in spite Of
all this, the state has emerged from the hard
conditions indicated above and its condition is
now better than it has been in many years. The
feeling Of gloom has disappeared, and fem con-
fidence in the future has taken its place. Capt.
tai encouraged by our liberal policies is seeking
investment here. The banks of the state have a
larger amount of deposits and greater resources
than ever before. The farmers are beginning to
observe modern intelligent methods and to fol-
low a system Of intelligent diversification. De-
sirable immigrants are coming to make their
nome among US. The cities. and towns are adj
vancing in material growth and prosperity.

THE APPENDIX OF COURT SYSTEM

Plaquemine Protector: A number of the
country papers are in favor Of abolishing the
grand juries as they are useless and expensive.
In some Of the parishes it is claimed the same
names are drawn as jurors on an average of
every two, years and many of them have not the
ability to decide intelligently on questions
brought before that body and especially in the
Investigation Of the books of the parish officials.

If any body suggests that Lieutenant Cover
nor Fernand Mouton delivered somebody else's

some of his critics that he can accomplish
things.

would even take the governors place, if they
could. Speaking of the candidates. of DR.,
Swords, for president Of the state board Of
health, of J. J. Lewis, for president of the state

Physically the Prince of Wales is

intellectually, he is not clever. Those
who know him best testify he knows
his limitations, and shrinks from be-

Given sufficient spunk, the Prince
of Wales could contract a secret mar
riage with non-royalty, as his fore
bears have done ere this. But the
union would not be legal unless the
king gave his approval Neither
George nor Mary would ever consent;
the heir to the crown would be forced
to contract a royal marriage. What
American girl would risk the danger
of finding herself plural wife?
The late king, Edward VH-ge-

debt to generous German Jews,
and for so years the quarry of de-
