vocated and carried through in order 20

Is a Louisiana novelty described by J..
J.. Westbrook, cashier Of the Bank of
Denham Springs and president Of the
Livingston Parish bank at Doyle.
Livingston is the last of the cheap
land areas In that entire section, said
Mr.. Westbrook. The land. he added,
was held back by the same cause as
the banks, the lack Of roads interfering
with accessibility. There are groups of
strawberry ranches and other spots
where money is plentiful, but 1t never.
gets near the banks. Good roads will
make 1t available. So the highway
cause wal boosted, the elections won,
n the bonds win be issued and the
roads built without delay.
The main line will lead through the
parish. with laterals circliug in every
direction, The principal thoroughfare
will connect with the New Orleans
highway at Hammond and with the
Jefferson highway at Baton Rouge, put
ting the entire parish In the touring
belt, which will hasten development, A
city will grow up at the parish center,
and the bank he and others are plan
ming win be situated there. The unique
feature Of the idea Is the plan to en-
ploy the good roads to gather deposits.
II Is proposed to run automobiles to all
the communities and farms and to re-
ceive savings at the homes instead OF
compelling the farmers to come to the
bank. The official collectors will trans
act other business for the farmers at
the same time, establishing n co-opera-
ton which will be valuable to both.
Mr.. Westbrook declares that all the
capital will be Forthcoming before the
roads are completed.

Preferrins Sheep to Dogs

Vermont attempt to rid itself OF the
shecp-killing dog has been attributed
to various causes and influences. The
fact remains that the farmers of Yer
mont control our body of lawmakers,
and If there was any responsibility
for failure to protect our sheep inter
ests, our farmers can not escape
their fair share of the burden of such
responsibility. The gist of the stu
alton is that the owners of dogs in
Vermont, including farm dogs, out
weigh the owners of sheep. That is
the whole situation in nutshell.
That this situation is not confined
to Vermont is evident from the dis
cussion which has been in progress
in connection with this same problem
in the Massachusetts Legislature.
The Springfield Union is moved by
the announcement that repeal OF the
daylight saving law, which the Presi-
dent hopes to rescue, has given rise
TO the assertion that Congress is con
trolled in the interest of the farmer,
1t says this charge cannot be laid
at the doors OF the Massachusetts
Legislature, judging from the Sen
ate's action in rejecting the bills for
the better protection of sheep against
dogs The Union continues: 'In
fact, one is led to conclude that the
Bay State lawmakers take but little
interest in re-establishing the sheep
raising industry in the common
wealth, an object that might we'll
have a general anDeal on account nj
the benefits to be derived from such
revival. Two recent commissions
have studied the sheep-raising prob
lem at length, and at large expense
TO the taxpayers. Both have recon-
mended more stringent dog control as
essential to sheep.growing cam
paign. But while the Legislature is
perfectly willing to vote away the PEG
pies money in inquiries, it throws up
its hands when 1t comes to applying
he remedies prescribed by the inves.
tigators.
There can be little use in voting
subsidies or establishing demonstra-
tons farms in the interest of sheep
raisers so long as the Legislature per
sists in shielding the canine offend
ars in preference to sheep. Members
prefer to think that dogs are not a
serious obstacle to sheep-raising, or
chat sheep-raising is Improbable for
his section anyway--any excuse rath
sr than impose restraints on the dogs
It Is not a question of this or that pro
vision being too seyere-there is a
prejudice, evidently, against any kind

of legislation for the purpose of Sc
curing to the shcepraiscr the protec
ton that, it is generally agreed by
experts, Is essential to the welfare OF
the industry.
The Legislature has not been
asked to enact legislation calculated
to work unfairly for dog owners that
exercise due oversight and care tc
prevent their animals from Infringing
on the rights of others. But the
clamor that all dogs are menaced by
the proposed legislation has proved
uniformly effectual, and so the money
expended to advance the sheep in
dustry promises little return to any
body. The fault rests with the pub
lie, in not awakening to the value OF
a more progressive policy and assert
ing its demand in manner that will
count for results at the State House.
Manifestly it will not he possible
