clusion that in major offensives, such

Which JUDGE Is RIGHT?

An Eastern judge the other day
found a man guilty of disorderly con-
duct for kissing his wife when she
didn't want him to kiss her.
ut is woman's inalienable right
to refuse to be kissed if she doesn't
want to be kissed" this judge said,
adding, land she doesn't forfeit this
right when she marries the man."
But, on the other hand, Judge Ora
ham of San Francisco officially rules
that a husband may kiss his wife
whenever he pleases, whether it
pleaSeS the wife or not.
Indeed, so firm are the judges con-
victions upon the subject that he was
moved to put his decision in verse:
Be cave man, seize your mate
If she shows you signs of hate;
Let her scratch, let her bite,
But kiss her, boy; it is your right.
Take your choice of decisions, Mr..
Married Man. We refrain from sex
pressing our opinion as to which is the
right one. We're Misunderstanding

BOND INTEREST IS
HIT BY GOVERNOR
POCKET VETO OF HAMMOND
NEW ORLEANS HIGHWAY
BILL EXPLAINED.
MAXIMUM RATE 6 PER CENT
Governor Pleasant Says He Is of the
Opinion That Large Amount of
Bonds Should Be Handled BY
State Board Of Liquidation.
Baton Rouge

/
Governor Pleasant, in an interview,
explained wherein he objects to the
Hammond-New Orleans highway bill,
which he pocket-vetoed, made clear
his positive position in favor of the
building of such a highway and said
he will include this measure in his
call for the special session Of the
| Legislature, to convene August 5.
In substance, the government takes
the stand that, excepting the Louis
lana 4 IL per cent bonds, the bonds
| proposed to be issued for the con-
struction of the Hammond-New Or
leans highway would be the best in
the state and would not need the pro-
visions that they be issued at a max
imum rate of per cent and a maxi
mum discount of per cent, because
they would have behind them all the
assessable property in New Orleans
and all the motor vehicle license
taxes from Orleans, Jefferson, st.
Charles, st. John, st. Tammany and
Tangipahoa parishes. Theretis no
need for such provisions as a protec-
ton for the issue and the injection
of such provisions into it would tend
to weaken it before the public and
would create certain profit possiblli-
ties that would be unwise, he said.
"The Hammond-New Orleans high
way bill provided for the issuance of
bonds at maximum rate of per
cent and maximum discount of 5
per cent" said the governor. at did
not provide for the advertisement for
competitive bids on the bonds, and it
also provided that the bonds them
selves may be used in payment TO The
contractors for work done.
AT the same session of the Legis-
lature statutes were passed providing
for the issuance by the Tensas Leyee
District and the Pontchartrain Levee
District of bonds that should not be
sold for less than par nor bear a
greater rate Of interest than per
cent. Taking these as a proper and
sound basis, the Hammond-New Or
leans highway bonds, to the amount
of 100000, could be sold really at a
discount Of $4,000. This may be
shown by calculating the extra 1 per
cent interest on 100000 for twenty
years, plus a straight per cent dis
count on 100000.
Furthermore, l am of the opinion
that this large amount Of bonds
should be handled by the State Board
of Liquidation.
81 intend to include this matter
in my call for the special session, in
order that these points, and a few
others relative to the matter, may be
fully considered again.
Il am in hearty accord with the
proposition Of building highway,
and should like it to be part of the
progressive accomplishments of my
administration"
