is a component part. All newspaper

the affair, all necessary travelling and
hotel expense being footed by the
Treasury through the Reserve Banks.
We had availed ourselves Of the in

publisher, when bereavement in the
family of the latter forced abandon
ment of all plans, knocking out all
interest or recollection of the event.

Canal Avenue
Further Improve

The result of the meeting last Fri
day of property owners and residents
of Canal Avenue in this city promises
to bring continued improvement. The
sense of the meeting was that the
beautifying of the avenue should be
along uniform lines, so as to present
the best results, and to give the inn
proyement a touch of cooperation and
coordination of efforts, harmony and
unity of effort, not bad i0ea and Of
far reaching effect to the passing vi
sitor who is a close and keen
observer and is looking for
the good points in a community.
A committee was appointed to draft
bylaws to govern the association, as
also committee to suggest the best
methods of beautifying the banks OF
the canal in front of the respective
crossings as well as the intersections
of the different streets.
DR.. O. L. Braud served as chairman
of the meeting and Mr.. Sidney E. Pei
tier as Secretary.
The committee selected by the as
sociation held a meeting at the city
hall to take up the work delegated to
them by the association towards or
ganization and rules and bylaws to
govern themselves.

Telephone Rates
We're Increased.

Beginning last Thursday the 1st In
slant. the Cumberland Telephone &
Telegraph Co. increased the subscrip-
ton rates for telephones in this town,
parish, in fact over the entire state,
with the exception of New Orleans
and Shreveport where the rates were
considered adequate. The matter is
of course viewed from two angles, the
subscriber at least some Of them are
prone to object to the raise OF price
under any condition; the company on
the other hand is met with increased
pay for labor, for material, could not
accept the price obtaining for service
under present conditions. No one car
deny the fact that everything else
has increased in price, railroad fare.
kilograms, and all commodities, there
fore the increased cost for service
while possibly not agreeable and not
desired is certainly no crime and Is
only what could be expected. The eco
nomic conditions would appear to
warrant justification for increase
The increase in so far as the IN is
concerned, as we are advised, III be
thirty five cents for individual home
phones, that is where the rate was
IS1.65 per month the price il now
$500; for business phones where
the price was $2.75 the new price is
1925, desk phone for business in
stead of being $500 would be $3.50.
The phones out of the town are in
creased from a zone extending one
and half mile beyond the confines
of the town fifty cents additional ev-
cry three miles; party lines have eo-
responding increases, which were Civ
en- us but which we do not mention Tor

them correctly, not having Jotted
them down at the moment given US.
The matter however is before the Rail
road Commission and both sides to
the controversy will be heard. The
question being quasi judicial it is not
well that the press should discuss IT.

Sugar Is Is Safe
For Generation,

The Lafayette Cane Farmers Asso-
citation held meeting last Sunday,
according to reports at which they
heard speeches. Congressman Mar
tin was among the speakers and is
quoted as having sand "the industry
was reasonably safe for 1919 and that
he was reasonably sure that in the
revision of the tariff Congress would
retain q tariff on sugar but that il
was not sure to meet with President
Wilson's approval"
One might assume from this that it
is already known what the tariff
might be, since there is suspicion it
will not meet with the Presidents ap-
proval Sugar is revenue producer,
the government needs revenue and
will need it for some years to come.
1t is therefore almost safe to- pre-
dict, regardless of what party be in
power, there will be a revenue pro-
ducing tariff on sugar for the next
twenty five years to make up for the
loss caused by war expense and by
the disastrous loss of revenue precipi-
tated by prohibition.
