Stafford Goes After Ad-
minishation IN New
Orleans
Senator Candidate for Governor
Calls for Public Hearing on
Dock Board Affairs

New Orleans. La My 30-Ac-
cepting the challenge 81 w. B.
Thompson, president Of the Board OF
Commissioners of the port of New
Orleans, for an investigation Of the
affairs of the Dock Board, Senator
E. M. Stafford has issued a state
ment calling for a public hearing.
Senator Stafford's stand follows
publication of an open letter in the
Times-Picayune by Mr.. Thompson,
in which he INDUCES in criticism and
abuse of Stafford for daring to pub
.icly probe Dock Board activities.
Extravaganza, waste of the pub
lies money and general mal-admin-
istration Of the Dock Board are
among charges made. The senator
states that Behrman and the Dock
Board procured the consent of the
public for the building Of the Indus
trial Canal on the statement that it
would cost S3,5OO,0OO and that already
it has cost Sl2.OOOOOO and little more
than the preliminary scratching has
begun.
Behrman and the Dock Board pic
tured glittering crowd of indus
tries on both ranks of the Canal. Af-
ter year and half there are only
two-Doullut and Williams and the,
Foundation Company; both indus
tries fostered by war and losing their
importance with peace. N
The Dock Board is vested with
unlimited power to issue bonds, the
senator further asserts, even up to
billion dolla.s. There i; a question
among lawyers whether these are
state obligations The Attorney
General of the United States has rem
dered decision that they are state
obligations The ordinary bonded
debt administered by the legislature
is only Sll.00O.OO0-a great deal less
than half the Dock Boards spend
ing list. And these bonds can be
sold by the Dock Board in unlimited
quantities. without advertisement
without competition and at such a
discount as it sees fit
Senator Stafford says he will ac-
cept any tribunal for trial of these
charges-providing only that it is
public-but from whatever tribunal
Mr. Thompson chooses he will appeal
TO the highest tribunal and try the
Dock Board before the people of
Louisiana who, as taxpayers, are in
terested in this question because they
going to be called upon to settle
for the visions of Thompson and
Behrmar He points out that alreAdy
the taxpayers are contributing to the
Industrial Canal through the Levee
Boards donation Of S550.0O0 yearly
and that this money is taken from
the Levee Board when it may be
needed for caving levees to stop
what may be more than vision.
What l charge and want to have
stopped. if I can" said Senator Stat
ford in his statement to the press,
us the arbitrary and pompous au-
thority to issue bonds at will and to
suit political conditions"
Mayor Behrman declined to make |
any statement in answer to these

charges against the Dock Board Ad-
ministration, saying that he would
answer at the proper time and place"
Up to late Wednesday night Mr..
Thompson had made no statement
and could not be found by newspa-
permen Wednesday morning.

DEMOCRACY IS HIGH
IN GERMAN ELECTIONS

=
comes fairly high in Germany. While
she has no campaign expense laws
like America, she is already learning
that elections are costly as evidenced
by compilation of the costs for the
national assembly and Prussian land
assembly elections some months
back. The expense against the gov
eminent was more than 1000, 600
marks. while to the parties involved
the expens0was more than 5000, 900
marks.
These expenses are likely to be
vastly increased when the elections
for the Richstag occur. So far, no
definite dates have been set for these,
but the present regime Is striving
hard to ct the elections postponed to
next spring on the theory that cleo
ytiOns this fall or winter would only
make for fresh unrest.
Both the right and the left are
massing funds, however, so as to
make a strong campaign against the
moderate regime, and the new tests
will furnish one of the bitterest
campaigns ever waged in Europe.

THIS SCOUT ALWAYS THERE

Scout Francis Coon, the standard
bearer who carries the troop flag Of
Carbondale. Pa, Troop No. 2, is fifteen,
years old, feet 10 inches high. and
weighs 471a pounds.
The scout Is not discouraged because
of his small stature, for he says he
grows a little every once In a WHILE"
He has no reason to be discouraged,
for his record in war work for Uncle
Sam Is one which any scout might
envy. In the second Liberty loan cam
paign, he sold eight bonds. In the
third, Is bonds, and in the fourth, PIT
bonds. He has used 81 red postcards,
making War Savings stamp sales to
the amount of about $500.
During the black walnut census, he
found four trees. One of these was
eight miles from his home, another Is
and the last two rs and 35 miles re-
spectively. He went five miles to spot
another, which he remembered having
seen, but when he arrived at the spot
found that the tree had been cut down.
When asked to describe his method
of selling Liberty bonds, he said: II
