New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1919-05-24
Mrs. Kate Marquis, Mid
dieburg, Logan Co., Ohio,
writes as follows:

sentiment is the demand of the
President for the abolition of the
luxury and other taxts, against
which there are so many and just
protests-that these would only
cause confusion and discomfort,
without producing any revenue
Picayune called attention at the
time these taxes were proposed
that they had failed in every
country where they had been
tried. The President sees that
our tax system should be simpliS-
ed and the rates reduced and mod
flied. and he promised that even
the income tax will be reduced, to
the benefit Of the taxpayers.
These recommendations will SIM
pity the work of Congress, for
the President recommends much
legislation Congress was prepar-
ing to pass.
Mr.. Wilson sets many doubts
and contradictory statements at
rest in regard to prohibition by
proposing to limit the war pro-
hibition act by relieving wine and
bear from its. prohibition. This
can be done only by Congress.
The restriction was placed on 81
liquors during the demobilizing Of

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

! The Presidents message, cabled
from Europe and made public IN
Congress yesterday, does not diff
fer greatly from what was ex-
pected. It will be received with
much satisfaction, not only be
cause it makes known his views
on many of the important ques-
tions. but because it promises a
better understanding between him
and Congress. and lessons the
probability of a clash between
them that seemed likely. The
President takes up number of
measures on which such conflict
seemed possible, and declares so
strongly in favor of changes that
Congress seems inclined to press
that these questions are taken ont
of discussion. The message this
takes some Of the wind out of the
sails of the extreme element in the
Republican Party, as the Presi-
dent recommends just what they
were preparing to insist on vehe- /!
mently if not Indignantly.
It has been evident for some
time that no issue was to be raised
as to the return Of the railroads,
the telephone and telegraph lines
TO private ownership, and the
President announced his conclu-
sion on this point some time ago.
Ehe railroads will be returned to
their owners at the end Of the ca
sndar year. It has been said that
he President would suggest some
plan of operation that would be
beneficial to the country, but the
Message contains no recommends
ion, and it is natural to conclude
hat the President believes that
IS it will be more than six months
'efore the roads are given up, the
natter can be taken. up at a later
lay.
Equally in accord with popular

ings entitle it. It's business mer
who have taken the lead in this
matter must not make the mistake
of thinking that a Chamber OF
Commerce can be set up with ade-
quate funds, and left to run auto
maticaly. The money is impor-
tant because the job of looking af-
ter the common interests of any
community large enough to have
interests, will take the full time OF
q good man and his salary must be
paid. /.
but after the money has been
paid in and the secretary secured.
a commercial organization still
will fail if the latter does not have
the active cooperation Of the Off
GERS and well-wishers of the or
ganization. Nothing REQUIRES more
personal effort than a Chamber Of
Commerce. Neatly printed books
with pretty pictures are all very
well If one has the money to pay
for them, but the personal interest
Of the members is the essential
thing. A good secretary, backed
by the intelligent and unremis-
ting interest of the business men
will accomplish much for the
[berian capital.

A great effort is being made

A great effort is being made to
make Wednesday, July 2, the biggest
and most memorable day ever staged
in Newberry county, and from the
way the plans are successfully un-
folding it seems now that it will
eclipse any celebration ever seen
here. No expense, time nor effort
are being spared by the Newberry
county committees to make it day
that will linger long in the memory
of the Newberry county heroes, men
who helped to save Christianity and
democracy in this day and for future
generations.
The largest crowd ever seen in
Newberry is expected on Wednesday
and preparations are being made so
that all will be comfortably looked
after. This is going to be big day
in the annals Of Newberry and there
should be the heartiest good Will
and the best of cooperation on the
part of every one to make the day
happy occasion for all.

the following program for Wednes-
day:

should say that it is also the cheap

to the stores named there is the hotel

This has been hotel site for many
years in Newberry. In the old days
just following the war it was hotel.
The fire of the spring of 1877 des-
troyed the then hotel building. When
we first came to Newberry to school
the entire block had just but recent

the entire square, was the front part

The Newberry Red Cross chapter
wants complete record of all the
drafted and enlisted men Of this
county. This record, with their
deeds, is to be Newberry county's
honor roll, and will be kept as an
everlasting monument to our boys.
The county has bought two large
record books for this purpose. We
want the record Of every soldier,
sailor and marine, whether he was in
service 18 months or one month, here
or over there.
The Red Cross asks all soldiers to
send in or bring their discharges to
the clerk of courts office. This dis
charge will be copied in the recoed
book in the courthouse, and returned
in good condition to the owner.

will be August 7th. The branches
and auxiliaries are invited to attend

This is a big deal and many people
are curious to know just what the
present purchasers intend to do with
the property, and there are many
speculations. Mr.. Matthews says
they have nothing to give out at the,
present as to their future plans, but
it can be safely said that they will do
what is best for the town with. the
property having an eye; to their own
interest, Of course.
These movements in real. estate
mean growth and Development. So
long as there are no transfers of real
estate there is not much chance for
any growth.
There is no better business stand
than the corner drug store Of Glider
and Weeks, and this has been drug
store since the erection of the pres
ent building, being first occupied, as
we recall, by DR.. S. F. Fant and af-
terward by Robertson and Glider and
then by Glider and Weeks. And the
other four stores in Main street are
good business stands.
We hope the new owners will de-
velop the property for the interest
and the advancement of the city of
Newberry as well as for their own
interest.
