islator to tax problems. He has submitted some figures which
show that the legislatures for the past fifteen years or more
have not had the moral courage to raise the state tax levy and
thereby formally notify the taxpayers as to the aggregate APP
made. The lawmaking bodies have side stepped
by voting bond issues to meet current expenses, almost always
an indefensible public policy. Mr.. Stones figures begin 16
years back and show that the aggregate excess OF appropria-

splendid equipment installed would meet
the demands of the territory for several
wears. At that time the equipment OF
their plant which was leased to the man
ager of the Morgan City Daily Review
was considered one Of the best in
South Louisiana, but it will be greatly
surpassed in every way by the plans
decided upon at Friday night s meeting.
The Daily Review at this time occupies

This Factor Is Equally Apph-

The address of Mrs. \. F. Storm de-
held in Morgan City, February 1917,
told lesson taken from the experience
of an ancient empire. The message
contained therein called attenrion 20 the
inaisputable fact that this lesson if ap-

''Unto this day the old Roman roads,
even where they have fallen into ruins
in England, attest that Empire as the
great road builder, Her roads knitted
her vast and far-flung Empire irto

was the secret of her greatness.
