Perhaps no subject is being
more widely discussed than the
rising cost of all commodities, and
a matter closely related to this
discussion Is that of the wasteful-
ness and extravaganza in public
administration. / his conditions
has been accumulated by the neces-
sarily high taxes due to the cost of
carrying on the war, and many
are inclined to DISPOSE Of the en-
tire matter after the manner Of
the Frci.ch, with a sigh of resig
nation and curt ''c'pst la guerrc."
Others are prone to Indignantly
charge the entire responsibility to
present occupants of public Of
fees. Bo,h views are obviously
incorrect and leave the average
citizen, upon whom the ultimate
responsibility and the cost, too
rest, blameless; though BY his
lack of interest IN public affairs,
by his carelessness in regard to
whom he elects to public office, he
should come in for not a little part
Of the blame. rs in it's final
analysis lue blame rests with tie
average citizen. SO too, any reform
or change in its present conditions
must come from him and must be
endorsed by him. And that re-
sponsibility does not cease with
the election of supposedly good
oillcIals-eternal vigilance is the
price of efficiency and capability
in public administration.
Regardless of the question of
responsibility it is, | believe. gen
orally conceded that the condition
is critical one and that it is de-

In the opinion Of some the coz

pensive toihia and fancy of public
officials and hat constructions are
ends in themselves. The opposite
is true; they are activities which
are the demands of commerce ana
requirements of ali improved civ
ilization. 1t is logical, therefore,
that such demands should be easily
complied with and should rpt en-
tail crushing taxation. Con merce
does not demand those Vikings
which would cause its ruin, nor
does an improved civilization ask
it. This is the crux: a reasonable
rate of taxation will supply ade-
quate funds for all legitimate pur-
poses, but it will nvt furnish an
other cent. This is a law as fun
damental as the law of life and
death itself. If we waste public
funds, taxes must be higher; # we
choose to be extravagant we must
pay the price. An excessively
high rate of taxation is not an in

To the Voters of Natchit0ches
Parish

In announcing my candidacy for the
House of Representatives, am enter
ing politics for the first time. ! have
always taken an interest in all politi.
cal questions but have never sought
any political office. | am not a politi-
clan, but am doing what | conceive tc
be the duty of all public spirited citi-
zens-taking an active part in public
affairs which deeply concern our every
day life and are active elements in the
formation of our environment.
The next few years will call for leg
islation dealing largely with the prob
lens OF reconstruction and such legis.
lation must lay the foundation for
future progress as well as solve the
present critical problems. 1t must
therefore be conceived on broad basis
and must incorporate the principles of
progress. In large way the question
before US are economic in nature and
are related to financial aud commercial
matters. Answers in legislative way
TO these problems will call for enact
ments dealing with the problems of
production, both agricultural and i'll
dustrlal, ana distribution; The rela tons
between capital and labor on the one
side and the public on the other: the
problem Of waste and extravaganza in
pubic administrations; our very high
taxes; social. political and educational
rearrangements and expansions; good
roads; the conservation of our natural
resources; agricultural improvements;
the important matter of refOrestation:
the improvement in the present made
quate provision for the assistance of
the Confederate Veterans; in short,
we have a variety and number Of
problems upon the ISOLATION of which
the immediate and distant future Of
the state Is vitality concerned.
1t is my intention to discuss each
week in the local press these questions
to the end, that all may know Just
where | stand with relation to them
| shall take advantage of every op-
portunity to explain and discuss my
views with tie voters in person and at
the various political gatherings through

Asking that you give my candidacy
your earnest consideration and that,
if my ideas coincide with yours and you
feel that possess the ability to trans
late them into legislation, you give me
your suppart and vote, and promising
to do all within my power, if elected,
to safeguard and advance the welfare
and best interests of the parish.

VOCATIONAL BOARD
 SOLVING PROBLEMS
Soldier. Citizens Are Given Chance
 to Learn

washington, May 23.--To make the number of returned citizens equal to the number of returned soldiers is the nroblem that is now before the Fed @ra1 board for vOcatiOna education, About two million of our soldiers have been wounded but many of these will soon be physically fit to take up their duties again, while it is estimated that at least ten per cent. of them have handicaps which must be over come. From tho latest reports tuber- culosis is responsible for P per cent of the disabilities incurred, wounds not necessitating amputatlon and nis- cellaneous wounds for g per cent. nerve diseases for 8.3 per cent. and wounds requiring amputation per cent.
 To make these 10000 disabled sol diers the equal of 10000 citizens contributing economically and social ly to their community life, is the duty delegated to the Federal board by the government It is a difficult prob lem but results are being found. The great majority of these young men are under thirty years of age, youth plus will power is one of the known quantities in the equation. The broad scope of the training given is one of the chief factors in the solution. Whatever a man wishes to train for wherever he wants to train, the Fed eral board stands ready to advise as to the proper course and to provide 9 suitable place where his ambition may be attained. More than one hundred different courses are already being given under the direction of Nf ,iro throughout the country from Florida to the great North West to 1860 men who have begun their training. In the few months that have elapsed since the boys began their homeward Journey, nearly 5000 Of these dis abIed soldier. after conferring with Federal board have started life again; some place by the board and others self placed: some in the old jobs, others in new and better ones. The process is fascinating. the results are interesting Plumbers too disabled to work at their trade, have become sanitary inspectors; farm laborers are being trained for agricultural specialists; wounded tailors are study ing designing and wireless tele- graphers are being made out of wounded barbers,-while stone cut ter with a weak heart is now doing the work of a secretary.
 Up to May the first, the central office, had approved courses for 4,376 of these men. The equation is being completed and each days results are proving that returned disabled sol diers plus training and application, are equivalent to returned citizens upon whom the nation may confident .y depend for it's future welfare and happiness.
