Senate to Plan Definite
Policy on Luxury Taxes
Soda Water Must Pay Iapost at Least
Until September

Washington, July 30.-The formula
tion of a definite policy as to legisIa-
tion modifying various provisions of
the war revenue act of 1918, against
which protest have been received
from various parts Of the country, will
be discussed at meeting of the Sen
ate finance committee.
The call for the meeting was issued
by Chairman Penrose following hear
ings on House bills repeating the soda
water tax and substituting tax of 2
cents gallon on fruit juice beverages
for the present 10 per cent gross sales
tax.
In additieli to the two bills pending
before the Senate committee, which
certain Republican senators regard as
''pop-gun" legislation, proposals have
been made in the House rocking to the
repeal :: the luxury taxes as well as
certain OIL the excise taa.s, especially
those reiating TO impcsts on candy

.ers, it is understood. fsei that the
question as to how far Congress. is to
go in this matter should be determined
at once Many senators feel that If
one section of the bill is reopened,
there is nothing to prevent modifica-
ton of other provisions being taken
up, which, as one senator said would
bring a "Pandora's box Of trouble
Owing to the fact that the House
will recess Saturday fer more than
month, members of the Senate com
mittee said that the committee would
take no final action upon the soda
water and fruit juice tax bills before
September. at least
The committee is expected to dis
cuss, also. the question Of tariff leg
islation to some extent, although Sen
would be unwise to take any action
along those lines at this time owing
to abnormal business conditions They
also doubt whether any such legisla-
ton could be enacted at the present
extraordinary session.

CHANCELLOR ANNOUNCES
PLENARY INDULGENCE

The following announcement has
been made by the Very Rev A. ].
Bruening, chancellor of the archdio-
cese of New Orleans, in the absence
of Archbishop Shaw, who is out Of
the city:
The Great Pardon of the Portiun-
cuIa' which formerly could only be
gained by visiting the churches of the
Franciscan Fathers, by the Motu Pro-
prio of Pope Plus x issued in July,
1910, was extended the entire world.
A further decree continued the priyiI-
ege in subsequent years. Ordinaries
of the dioceses were authorized to en-
dow churches under their jurisdiction
with the privilege of this pIenary in
diligence.
.The most reverend archbishop
therefore designates every church and
public and quasi-public chapel and
domestic oratory of the archdiocese
for the granting of the indulgence,
which may be gained from noon of
Aug. 2, the Feast of st. Peter in
Chains.
Moreover, that no one may be de-
prived by any special circumstance Of
this great spiritual benefit, the arch
bishop also appoints for the obtaining
of the above mentioned indulgence,
both by the faithful, who live in the
world and those pious persons who
dwell in communities in lieu of Aug. 2,
the following Sunday from the Vespers
of Saturday to Sunday itself, with the
condition, however, that nobody may
twice enjoy this concession.
IN order to gain the Indulgence one
must be in state of grace, having
approached confession and holy COM
munion. and must then visit one of the
designated churches or chapels and
there pray for the intentions of the
Sovereign Pontfff Confession may be
made at any time during the week.
Communion, however, must be receiv-
ed within the time prescribed for the
gaining of the indulgence. The in
diligence, which is applicable to the
souls in purgatory, may be fgained
''toties QUOTES" that is, as often as
the church or chapel is visited.
'"The most reverend archbishop ear
nestly desires and recommends that in
the churches and oratories designated
above on the day appointed for gain
ing the indulgence, special supplica-
tions be made to God for the Supreme
Pontiff, for the ministers of the sane
tuary and for the entire church, and
that these be accompanied by the invo-
cation of the seraphic patriarch, st.
Francis, the litanies of the saints and
benediction of the Most Blessed sacra-
ment.

Eunice Mayor Says
Nothing Doing

Editor St. Landry Clarion:
Gentlemen The following com
munication appeared in last weeks
issue Eunee Gall If you think it
worth while you cant print same in
your next issue.
To the citizens of Eunice: Within
n the past few days have been ap-
preached by some of my good trends
and asked, if they organized Reg
mituIarly Club would | sign a per-
NIT enabling them to play cards in
same. MY answer to those was:
MOO: WILL NOT"
The argument used in favor of my
doing so was that teh Mayor of ope-
lousas had signed a number of such
permits. For further information of
all concerned will say that there viii
be no gambling in Euniee for the next
tw oyears, unless the town council re-
sends the ordinance recently passed
prohibiting same.
/ have issued a blanket permit to all
citizens who wish to play cards in
tfer residence, and no home will be In
vaded by the officers of Eunice un-
less we are convinced that the home
has been converted into gambling
house, when we will take legal steps
to suppress same.
Any fraternaI order now in exist
ence Eunice, will be given permits
for social games of cards whenever
they desire same.
Sorry Boys But we promised the
good citizens of the town that We
would do this if elected, you are In
the minority, be good Democrats.
