der the Weight of Higher

Washington, Nov. 15.-That the
whole world is struggling with the in
creased cost of living, is indicated
in reports to the state department
The increases in Europe are particu-
larly high, although in Latin America
the governments are anxious over the
situation and are trying to find means
of combating the difficulties pre-
sented by the high prices of commodi-
ties deemed essential.
In Portugal the government in an
attempt to lower the cost of living,
has placed, through the minister of
finance, part of its gold reserves in
the banks of Lisbon.
In England, the cost of living above
pre-war levels is figured at 115 per
cent for September and 120 per cent
for October, as to actual necessities
of life and based upon average living
conditions of wage earners. A more
distinct rise has occurred in the cost
of commodities, so far as the other
elements of population in England
are concerned, being unofficially esti-
mated by some at approximately 135
per cent with a steady upward trend.
In Sweden, figures furnished by the
Swedish government indicate that the
cost of living has increased 157 per
cent over the cost in June, 1914. In
the cities the increase has been very
much greater than the average for
the country.
The Argentine government has
suggested to other South American
countries and discussed with them an
international arrangement with a
view to doing away with import du-
ties on manufactured food pro-
ducts as one means of cutting down
the high cost of living. Information
which has reached the state depart
ment regarding this plan is to the eff
feet that suggestion has been made
that conference be called by the
Argentine minister for foreign af-
fairs to discuss this question of ex-
change of real necessities of life free
of customs charges.
In Brazil, the tariff is being re-
vised with view to reducing the cost
of living in that country.

REAL ESTATE AGENCY
MAKES A BIG SALE

The st. Landry Real estate Agency
has just closed a sale of the two
hundred acre farm belonging to Mrs.
j. T. Stewart and Mrs. J. B. Brock,
situated near the northern limits of
this city, Messrs. McNeese and Bish-
op of New Orleans being the pur-
chasers. The price paid for this de-
sirable property was twenty thou
sand dollars. Judging by recent
sales made of farm property in this
parish, it is evident that the desira-
bility of our lands is being fully rec
ognized and we look for more new
people to locate here.

have already taken this advanced step,
and are reaping the benefit in increas-
ed revenue from hidden property.
One year since, the electors of Ohio
voted overwhelmingly in favor of
classification of property, for taxation.
An error in the drafting of the
amendment made the verdict of the
people invalid.
This year the same proposition is
being submitted to the electors, but
in a different form, as the Ohio Gen
eral Assembly, realizing the trend of
sentiment toward classification has it
self submitted the amendment to the
Ohio constitution to the people to be
voted upon on the election to be held

THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE WILL
PREVAIL,

That the right to organize will
slowly, but surely, triumph over all
opposition is a fact all thinking men
will and do admit.
Just now in our own city we are
experiencing incidents where employ
ers, whose employees are on strike, are
denouncing organization and avowing,
like SO many before them, no union
shall exist in their establishments.
But as popular sign reads, Event
ually, Why Not Now?" The knocks
and unpleasantness heaped upon the
union will but make it stronger and
more effective when the undisputed
triumph shall come.

If you are home-owner you meet

by your landlord, frequently in the
form of raise in your rent.

The International Journal of Elec-
trical Workers has a most timely ar
ticle on this matter in its last issue:
"The spirit that established the
right of people to govern themselves
is alive today, and the people are de-
termined to extend to industry the
of democratic government.
The movement is part of the onward
march of civilization. Industrial mon
archs are marshaling their forces to
defeat the movement. Their efforts
will be as futile as were the efforts of
the recently -deposed political despots.
Industrial tyrants are conscious of the
fact that their employees are determin-
ed to establish the principle of col
lective bargaining, and have a say as
to what wages they shall receive, and
under what conditions they will labor.
"Tt is amusing to see the last line
of defense such employers have es-
tablished, which is the employer-con-
trolled organization of employees, they
foolishly thinking that free and liberty
loving workingmen and women will
ever be satisfied to accept a substi-
tute for something they desire an dare
determined to have, namely, the right
to organize. Such employers are to
be pitied for their ignorance of human
nature. They should know that en-
ployes with intelligence enough to
produce the products of this age, sure
ly know enough about economics to de-
termine what is best suited to improve
their conditions.
"The great steel corporations are
employing every method to defeat the
efforts Of their employees to organize
Free speech and the right of peace

if the steel trust could have its way
The representatives of these great cor
porations are beginning to realize that
each effort made to deny the constitu-
tional rights to their employees results
in strengthening the determination OF
the employees to organize and obtain
industrial democracy, a condition thai
is right, just and humane, therefore
bound to prevail, by peace if possible
by force if necessary. Open-minded
peace-loving citizens, both employe:
and employees, prefer the former. Cap
italistic saboteers and industrial van
dals in general prefer the latter. Il
our judgment the former will prevail
and even though conditions are ser
ious, and the situation extremely ag
gravating, we still have sufficient con
idence in the American public to be
lieve that no question will confron
US that cannot be solved by peaceabl
methods"

packs of tickets. The Cincinnati La
Dor Advocate, just to show how for
tunate it is to be republican these
days in Cincinnati, cites the instance
of the councilmen in that city; every
one of whom was lucky enough to
draw tickets with the exception of the
two lonely democrats, who didn't come
close. The fact of being republi-
can was far reaching. Even right
here in Hamilton if you was close to
the ''bunch" it was no trouble at all
to get tickets. You know we help to

are Just falling over each other to
tell what a splendid innovation it
would be for Hamilton and at the
same time these people are saying so
many nice things about the street
railway company that other people are
beginning to wonder if there isn't a
gentleman of dark hue hidden behind
the wood pile. We would advise coun-
ell to be very, very careful and act
slowly in this matter-if they act at
all. When the car line people go
out of their way to show the people
of Hamilton that they have such good
thing to give CD them they cause
suspicion. For when did the company
ever show any consideration for this
city before? If council is going to
give the company anything, council
must see to it that the company gives
Hamilton something in the way of

STRONG DEMAND
FOR GOOD HORSES

The horse is by no means becom-
ing obsolete either for general utility
or pleasure purposes, according to the
breeders and importers of both heavy
and light horses, who will show at
the California International Livestock
Show in the California Building at
San Francisco, November 1st to Sth.
Breeders of draft horses declare
that the demand far exceeds the sup
ply, one of the chief reasons being
the falling off of breeding few years
ago when motor trucks came into such
prominent use, supplanting the draft
er. While trucks are being used more
than ever, still there is work for the
draft horse that the truck never will
crowd out. Europe is now importing
heavy drafters instead of exporting,
so the breeder in this country finds an
unlimited market.
San Francisco society has entered
into the horse show contests at the
California International with great
enthusiasm, and the classes of three
and fve-gaited horses as well as smart
harness equipment will make show
ing of light horses that has not here
tofore been approached in the West.
An arena seating 5000 or more people
is being built in the California Build
ing for the showing of these high
steppers in action. This show will
demonstrate that the horse is coming
into his own and that the Pacific
Coast is still the breeding place for
good ones.
