VIENNA, Jan. Field Marshal
General Won Hindenburg does not
believe that the end of the European
war is emminent. according to a
statement he made to representa-
rive of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse
who, on the occasion Of the interview

continuing the war, despite the fact
that two lords make beautiful peace

arity about the humpbacked salmon
which caused the bureau officials
considerable worry for time. This
was the almost infallible trait OF the
humpbacked salmon to swim back to
the place Of birth. SO to speak, no
matter how far from home he might
Ibe. The bureau Of fisheries was well
acquainted with the almost uncanny
homing instinct Of these fishes and
it was feared the little humpbacks
might try to make the northern Paci-
fic streams, even, via the Panama
canal.
The humpbacked salmon industry
differs from the new tile-fsh indus
try, in that the fishermen do not have
to be convinced that there will be
market for the humpbacks. Most OF
them can remember the salmon fish
ing days Of the Maine coast and they
are only waiting until the fish have
attained the proper size before they
will begin to harvest the crop the
government bureau planted at con-
siderable cost. ~

NEVADA NAN IS
STUDYING
LAWS OF HAWAII
Jay H. Clemens, Owner of Big
Aefeages, Praises Climate
and Scenery of Islands

Jay n. Clemens, one OF the officers
and principal stockholders of the
Union Land & Feed Company of Ne
yada and California, arrived here this
week from his home at Reno. Nevada.
He is accompanied by his wife and
two young daughters. They are tour
ing the islands and plan to spend the
next several days taking in points Of
interest on Oahu They returned
Thursday from visit to the Volcano
ON Hawaii and are stopping at the
Moana. Ia
The Union Land & Feed Company,
OF which Mr. Clemens Is one of the
directing heads, owns 275, 900 acres
or land in Nevada and California.
Their holdings extend for distance
of about 600 miles through Nevada
from the Sierra range, comprising
thousands of acres of rich land CIV
en- over to raising alfalfa. The bal
ance is devoted to range for thous-
ands upon thousands Of head Of cat
tie, horses, sheep and pigs.
1t is understood that one Of the
plans of the company now. Is to sub
divide a large portion Of these hold
ings for settlement One of the pur-
poses Of Mr.. Clemens visit to Ha-
wall is. to study the land laws here
and become familiar with the meth.
cd used by this territory In appor-
tioning land to homesteaders. Gov
ernor Pinkham today furnished Mr..
CIemohs with a quantity Of literature
relative to lands in Hawaii and it is
probable that from this a plan for
Mr.. Clemens company handling its
Nevada holdings will be evolved.
In addition to stDckraising the Uni.
on Land & Feed Company Is also en-
gagged in the slaughtering business and
4 large portion OF ifs stock Is siaugh-
tered and sold by the company at San
Francisco.
I'VE have been very much delight
ed with our visit to Hawaii, said Mr.
Clemens this morning. You have a
fine climate, scenery that Is pleas.

charm which I am certain would grow
upon one who would dare TO Hnger
here too long. am certain that Mrs
Clemens, the children and myself Will

the time Is corning when practically

TO the Voters and Citizens Of
the State Of Louisiana.
New ORLEANS. 1915.


1t is important that the voters anG
citizens of Louisiana should wake uI
and have a true realization of the
gigantic taxing scheme that is about
to be fastened upon them. It is colos.
sal in form and no telling how far
reaching in effect.
tlon relative TO the taxing power will
be submitted to the voters for amend
ment, being Articles 225 and 226.
The whole scheme is to put more
taxes on the tax-ridden people and
make,s the burdens of government
heavier. 1t permits the Governor,
through the Board of State Affairs.
to get control of the Assessors
throughout the State, and once this
hold is taken be will be able to con-
70: the situation in every political
division of Louisiana and the Cover.
nOr's power will be SO great and so
strong that he will be able not only to
name his own successor, but all other
important political officers.
The Governor went all over Louis
lana, promising the electorate that he
would not raise taxes, if elected, but
he was Governor only eight weeks
when he signed and approved an act
raising taxes three quarters of mill,
and he may be expected to perpetu ate
and extend the raise by the present
scheme, which means the centraliza-
ton OF the taxing power of the State
in the hands of the Chief Executive.
NO such scheme was ever known
since the dawn of civilization aud it
will give the Governor the power of a
car.
The vote will be on the Constitutions
al Amendment and not on House Bill
No. 14O, by MIR. Powell, which Act
pines in force and effect after the
amendment to Articles 225 and 226 is
adopted.
The voters should study the features
embodied in Mr.. PoweTs bill. 1t is
one drastic in form. 1t gives the
Board of State Affairs (Which Board
is to be appointed by the Governor)
power to assess all property at it's

necessary, to institute removal pro-

not Obeyed.
The bill is filed with harsh and
drastic features and it should be read
by every voter throughout the State,
and if it had been published broad
cast, as the Constitutional Amend
ments have been, no man or set of men
would be able 70 faslen this octopus
upon the taxpayers.
It is rumOred that The Governor in

the scheme, but it is not possible for
him to defend such an undemocratic
before the people of Louisi-

RAILROAD CROSSINGS.
We find that certain of the rail-

take this matter up with the TWO
roads at once, and see that they
are placed in proper condition.
