every salaried office holder IN the
State, the amount of whose sal
airy is or may be determined by
the Legislature.
When the Legislature under
takes the preparation of an APP
preparation bill it has plenty of
assistance from the boards and
the associations, whose members
are interested in such a division
of the loaves and fishes as may
be as nearly as possible satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
The interests that are mutual
as between the recipients of the
States revenues vastly outweigh
the interests that conflict, and
under the Circumstances, there is
much harmony and ample CO.
operation. SPECTATOR.

The consequences are the sweet

New Orleans States, June 16:
Representative Aswell's bill pro-
viding capital punishment for
alien bombthrowers ought to be
passed as notice to foreigners
who come here to attack our in
stitutions that short shrift awaits
them if they are apprehended.
Whether or not a bomb kills or
Mains ought to make no differ
ence. The intent to murder is
in the heart of the man who
sends the internal machine in
the mails. hurls it on the street.
or puts it under a residence or
store or public building.
We do not take it that because
his bill apparently is restricted
to bomb-throwers who are not
citizens of the United States,
Mr.. Aswell regards the citizen
who resorts to the same method
of destruction OF property or as
sassination of persons as entitled
to more consideration. He prob
ably expects the States to pass
laws making them amenable to
the same extreme penalty.
Whether alien or citizen, the
bomb-thrower is a foe of socie ty
and a coward at heart and he
ought to be executed in double
quick time after he is caught.

make mp the total list of appoin-
tive boards in the State, for be-
sides these are the numerous
Levee boards, Canal boards and
others.
This list comprises the Offices,
boards, commissions, etc., for
which appropriations of money
were made for the year ending

boards which are provided with
revenues, independent of the
Legislature exist without these
appropriations. The levee boards
exist upon levee taxes collected
on the property in the levee dis
tricts, and the public canals be-
ing transportation routes, yield
revenues, by reason of rates and
charges on traffic collected by
the canal boards.
The list shows appropriations
amounting to Sc, 967, 039.99 for
the year ending June 80, 1919.
The Act appropriates approx
mately the same amount for
same items for the year ending
June 80, 1920. The Act of the
Legislature (Act No. 125 of 1879
making these appropriations,
gives some details of the several

penses, 81. 600; total So. 500. In

versity not to exceed SIS. 600.
The appropriation provides for
the louisiana Industrial Institu-
tie $S1, $50. In 1893 the consti-
tuition authorized the Legislature
to make annual appropriations
for the Institute not to exceed
SIS, 600.
Of the great number of boards
in the State, some are evidently
not necessary. We have practi-
cally two auditors. In addition
to the auditor which we always
had. we now have the Supervis-
or of Public Accounts, with SAL
ary $4,000, for assistants and
expenses, $26. 900; total 500, 600.
This is a new creation, and its
emoluments are more than twice
those of the older Office.
The comparisons above stated,
showing the difference between
the provisions made in 1893 and
those made in 1918, demonstrate
not only very great increases of
salaries and expenditures of the
Executive department of the
State, and some of the education
al institutions of the State, but
they also demonstrate that in
order to make some of these
changes it was necessary to al
ter and change and amend the
old constitution of the State.
Certainly it has been necessary
also to alter and amend the con-
stitution in order to create many
of the boards now in existence
in the State.
1t is perfectly clear that hum
dreds of amendments have been
made to the organic law of the
State during the last 20 years,
the most important of which
were for the purpose of giving
to thsrevsnses4of the aState -
free circulation as herein above
indicated.
This appropriation of Sc, 967,
039 made by the Legislature in
1918, on account of the items set
forth is positive proof of extrav-
agance and waste of the public
money of the State. 1t looks
bad enough when examined cas-
ually. and it is much worse than
it looks.
The appropriation for public
schools is more than a million
dollars. yet the public schools
actually existing in the State are
dependent for their existence al
most entirely upon local taxa
ton. The money available for
the schools by reason of the ap-
preparation of the Legislature, is
in some of the parishes an in
significant amount.
The Board of Health is provid-
ed with $50, 1000. All the people
in the State, who have had any
contact with the board know it
to be an absurdity and not a util-
ity.
Sooner or later a hue and cry
will rise up in the State against
this government by boards.
Before that time it is to be
hoped that the tax payers (whose
money is being disposed of in
part as shown on the list) will
consider the forces and infuen-
ces which work and cooperate
together to accomplish the re-
suits of extravaganza and waste
and the rest of it, by creating
new boards and by increasing
the salaries of public officials.
The sheriffs have an organized
Sheriff's association, the asses
sors have an association; and
there are no doubt other associ-
atoms of other office holders.

edy in "Sauce for the Goose" the new
Select picture in which Lewis J. SelZ-
nick presents Constance Talmadge
which will be shown at the Nogales
Theatre tomorrow.
Constance Talmadge is a comediene
who knows the value of a sure light
touch in spontaneous fun-making, and
she more than fulfills the hopes and
expectations of her many admirers by
her delightful Interpretation of Kitty
Constable in this play.
The story is from the successful
play by Geraldine Conner and Hutche
son Boyd, adapted by Julia Crawford
Ivers. Briefly it relates how John
Constable, a young writer, is working
hard on his book, "Woman's Strug-
gles." Mrs. Alloway, widow, takes
an interest in his work and Kitty, the
young wife, remarks that the widow
is struggling-to land John. When
Mrs. Alloway goes too far in her de-
signs, Kitty concocts clever retalia-
tary plan of her own, covers the wild
ow with confusion and wins her hus-
band back in a hurry. The. theme of
the neglected wife and the "other
woman" is old, but the handling of it
in this picture is new.

DESTINY"

A gripping story of life as it is will
be shown at the Royal Theatre
Wednesday, Dorothy Phillips latest
picture, Destiny"
Miss Phillips first effort since her
memorable appearance in ''The Heart
of Humanity" is assured of a cordial
reception. 1t is described as an in
tensely dramatic offering, dealing
with modern American life, and lead
ing up to a tremendous climax.
This Jewel picture was directed by
Rollin Sturgeon, who produced
Goods Country and the Woman" 1t
is based on a novel by Charles Neville
Buck, the famous author, and the
scenario was written by Elliott J.
Clawson.
DESTINY" presents a memorable
cast, including William Stowell, who
was also Miss Phillips leading man
in "The Heart of Humanity" Harry
Hilliard, formerly Theda Bara's lead
ing man, Antrim Short, the boy actor
featured in "The Yellow Dog" Walt
Whitman, the celebrated character ac-
tor, Gertrude Astor, Stanhope Wheat
croft, Tom Ashton, Nanine Wright,
Allan Sears and Edgar Sherrod.
The theme of the story deals with
the results of an overwhelming lust
for power. 1t is dealt with in a novel
manner, after the fashion of such
stage plays as "Roads of Destiny"
and "The Eyes of YOUTH" in which
parallel lines of action are followed
out to widely different conclusions.
