After recruiting Senator Chiltou's
baseless charges against former JUS
tice Hughes with regard to the debt
case, Secretary Reed launched into
u discussion of national Issues, and
denounced the blunders OF the VIII
son administration. He cited the
promises made by the Democratic
party in its platform in 1919 AMI
then called attention 10 the party's
performances. He made convincing
argument in fovar Of return TO the
protective tariff, for which the Re
publican party stands.
Discussing state issues. the speak
er produced figures to back up his
statement that West Virginia was OPP
Grated at lower cost per capita than
any other state in the union. Tho
Cornwell tax argument was refuted
in a convincing manner.
There was striking difference
between the attendance and interest

HIGH PRICE OF FOOD
CUTS DOWN WASTE

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Nov. 16.
fact that far less vege-
table waste is being received at
Milwaukee, municipal garbage
crematory now than at any time
since the plant was opened was
attributed to-day, in a statement
by C. A. Davis, superintendent
of the crematory, to the high
price of foodstuffs.
"The waste in the American
kitchen has been appalling and
the present situation shows
what can be done when economy
is the first consideration" Mr..
Davis said. Judging from thin
potato peelings observed at the
crematory, l suspect that the
tubers are being peeled with
safety razors these days."

OFFICIAL
SAYS RAILWAY STRIKE
IS REMOTE POSSIBILITY

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Geo.
H. Sines, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, in statement made here
today, said a railroad strike is a
remote possibility, no matter
what happens to the Adamson
eight-hour law. The brother
hood leaders, he declared, have
not even considered calling a
strike as an answer to the in
junction proceedings by the rail-
roads.
II don't think there is any
thing in the constitution of any
of the brotherhoods allowing a
strike during Injunction pro-
ceedings," said Mr.. Sines. "If
the supreme court decides the
Adamson law is unconstitutional
the brotherhoods will be right
back where they were before the
law was passed.
'I doubt if the court decision
would revivify the strike vote
taken by the brotherhoods. In
al probability, although | can
not say for certainty that it is
so, the unions would have to
take a new vote on a strike"

WAR IN NEW WAYS
AGAINST RAILROADS

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. IT,
1--WE have warned the railroads
that if they fight the Eight
Hour Law we will, in addition to
striking oppose every move they
might make to better themselv-
es," said w. C. Lee, President of
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen on his return today
from New York. He added:
"We will hire lawyers to ex-
pose Federal valuations that are
favorable to the railroads. We
will fight any increase in freight
rates, and if that doesn't bring
them around, we will start a
movement for Government own
ership.
Heretofore we have always
worked with the railroads be-
cause we have considered our in
terests to be in common. But
the railroads have not recipro-
Gated"

FOR AMERICAN XMAS"
Speaker Clark's Daughter Bars
Imported Gifts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-
Mrs. James M. Thompson,
daughter of Speaker Champ
Clark and National Chairman of
the Women's National Made in
U. S. A. League, issued a call to
the members of the organization
tonight to observe the rule
America first" in their Christ

"a Made in America Christ
mas would be a splendid lesson
for the youth of the country"
she says. 'It would teach them
that the first idea of industrial
preparedness is to patronize and
develop home industries. In this
regard women should show a pa
triotic preference for American
made goods whenever possible
and give all possible support to
the American industries. The
universal preference of American
women for imported articles
has been a stumbling block to
American industry.

claration of industrial independ-

Gentlemen:
We, your undersigned committee, ap-
pointed at the last regular meeting of the
Board to investigate and report on the
merits of the claim of the Bank OF vi
dalis, for refund Of certain taxes collected
by the Tax Collector Of Concordia parish,
for the years 1911 and 1918, for the
reason that the said bank was dually as.
aessed on its real estate holdings by the
the assessor of said parish, beg to report
~ follows:
We have gone over the assessment
r"lls for the years above mentioned. and
find that the assessor in assessing the CAPT.
tai stock, surplus and undivided profits,
made the error OF not deducting the
actual value of the real estate from this
assessment, but instead, included the
actual value of the real estate holdings in
the above assessment, besides assessing
the real estate separately to the bank,
nnsequently dual assessment was made
md the amount of $l0l.l5, was paid by
he bank that should not have been paid.
No claim was made for the year 1912, a.
the taxes for that year were RENTED.
Respectfully submitted,
