power OF SUGAR
BOARD OPPOSED
House and Senate Take Up
Issue of Price of Crop
In Louisiana.

Efforts for the extension of federal
sugar control and licensing through
1870 encountered serious opposition in
the Senate yesterday when a motion
was made to concur in the House
amendment to the Senate bill con-
tinuing the United States Equalization
Board.
AS amended the measure invests
the board with the full war powers
for the purchase and distribution OF
sugar whereas they had been elimi-
mated in the original Senate bill, the
mere retention OF the board being
provided
At the same time the House passed
a resolution directing the Attorney
General TO explain on what authority
he had acted in permitting Louisiana
sugar producers to charge Il and Is
cents a pound for sugar and promIs-
ing them immunity from prosecu-
ton.
a.. During the debate preceding the
passage Of the resolution, Representa-
tSvc Tinkham. OF ssachusetts. de-
clared that II the Louisiana price
prevailed universally it would mean
an EDITION of 500 0c9. 900 to the living
bill OF the country.
Senator RansdeII. OF Louisiana, led
the fight on the sugar bill in the
Senate. He defended the decision of
the Attorney, General. lie asserted
that the Department OF Justice had
conducted an exhaustive inquiry into
the situation and on its findings had
fixed the figures of II cents A pound
raw and IS cents pound refined as
fair prices for the Louisiana sugar
crop.

not changed in accordance with

UNITED STATES DRAWS LINE

Labor organizations in the United States or in any other country are entirely legitimate. The only way in which the worker can meet his prob lems is through organization. Labor unions shield him from commercial greed, protect his rights and secure his privileges. Nothing can be said against the conservative and prudent labor union and much can be said in its favor.
 It is the wild labor agitater for whom there is neither room nor place in a free country. His mission is the bringing of discontent and dis organization. and the methods which he upholds are too often the defiance of law and destruction of property.
 The United States government is in full understanding and sympathy with the labor organizations. In ey- cry important difference between cap- ital and labor the government ap- points a commission to confer with the labor unions and consider the needs and grievances of the workers.
 But the governments answer to the work of labor agitators is prompt and clear It was, at the beginning of the Seattle strike, the shipment of fifty-four agitators and bolsheviks east for immediate deportation.
 These men find their interest in the hope of a general upheaval. Under pretense of sympathy for the worker, this is what they advocate. The proper place for them is on an east-b bound train carrying them to an east-bound steamer.

Must now take matter up with Ward

Must now take matter up with Ward in senate.
 "DODDRIDGE."
 Very naturally some of the op- ponents of the bill interpreted this telegram to mean that MT. Elliott had taken advantage of MT. Mc-Cul- loch's absence to railroad the meas ure through the house, and on ac- count of this alleged discourtesy they indulged in much criticism of Mir Elliott'e action.
 On Wednesday morning when MT. Mir. McCulloch's telegram, he stated he and Mir. McCulloch were in per feet accord on the bill. As further evidence that Mir Elliott and MT. McCulloch were working harmony on the bill and that no advantage was taken of Mir McCulloch, the fol lowing telegram received by H. NJ. Jackson from MT McCulloch Wed nesday night is reproduced:
 Little Rock, Feb. 19, 1919 I'll. NJ. Jackson,
 Mariana, Ark.
 Please correct the wrong impress sion that Elliott passed bridge and road bill against my wishes I was absent at time of passage through house. Corrections in bill can be made in the senate and thereby save time, which was understood.
 "DODDRIDGE MCCULLOUGH ' The only purpose the Courier-In dex has in making this statement and reproducing these telegrams from Mr McCulloch is to place MT : Elliott in the proper light before those who have been criticising hin for passing the road and bridge bill through the house in the absence oi MT. McCulloch.
 There has been no attempt on the part of Mir Elliott to take advant age of Mir. McCulloch, and any criti cism that has been made of MT. Fl liott by those who objected to the bill is manifestly unjust. He ha. | favored the measure all the time has so informed both friends ant | foes of the bill, has stated he was going to push it through the house as rapidly as possibsle and did SC | by honorable means and without re sorting to any deception or sharl practice.

SECRETARY BAKER
 THANKS CARAWAY
HEAD OF WAR DEPARTMENT FIX. PRESSES APPRECIATION TO ARKANSAS CONGRESSMAN FOR SPEECH or DEFENSE.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Oongress. man Caraway of the First district of Arkansas received the following let ter from Secretary of War Baker thanking him for a speech he made on the floor of the House, wherein he defended the administration, the president and the national army from a pack of loose critics:
 Feb. IA, 1919. My Dear MT. Caraway:
 "I am sure you will permit me to write you a personal letter of grati tude, and appreciation for your re- marks on the floor yesterday as they appear on page 3,440 of the Congress sional Record of February 13. realize that the form of our govern ment does not permit the secretary of war to have the floor of the house and so far as I am personally con- cerned I have not grieved much at that deprivation, although l have constantly thought that l could aid the members of the house to better understanding of the intricate busi- ness of the war department if l could appear there and answer questions to the whole house and to the coun- try, but I am deeply grieved at times that officers both of the regular army and from civil life who have given the country devoted service have been made the subject of uni happy comment in a place where they could not go to defend them selves even with plain narrative of the facts that are of record.
 'T am not saying this in criticism of the members of the house who have felt called upon to challenge the conduct of individuals on such evidences as they have. Indeed, my comment is more in regret that what seems to be the nature of the case makes this situation inevitable, but I do deeply appreciate your spirit of bringing either to me or to individ. uals whose conduct is under inquiry the criticism and then giving us a chance to tell the whole story so that both sides can be seen before a judgment is made.
 Cordially yours.
 MENTION D. BAKER" :"

O.G.NORMENT BECOMES
 CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR
POPULAR CITY CLERK HAS AM BlTloN TO SERVE MARIANA AS CHIEF ExECUTiVE-AN NOUNCES HIS PLATFORM.

o. G. Norment, secretary, treasurer and general manager of the Home Lumber Company, now serving as city clerk and for several years prominently identified with the work of the Commercial Club has announc- ed his candidacy for mayor. It is probable MT Norment will not have any opposition. He is one of the cleanest and most progressive young citizens of Marianna and during hls tenure as city clerk he has been brought in intimate touch with the affairs fo the city. He announces a very progressive platform and re- quests the voters give serious con sideration to the matters he brings to their attention in the card which he publishes below:
 Tn seeking the office of mayor of the city of Marianna it is done without any idea of furthering any future political aspirations, certainly for no mercenary. motive, or in the special interest of any individual firm, partnership or corporation. It is simply to gratify the ambition of a young man who has endeavored to give at least a portion of his time, energy and talent to public af fairs and to have the honor of serv- ing a community he loves, in the highest position they hold. 1 have some knowledge of municipal govern hx- Of afi ence, observation and study and feel that I will be able to give value re ceived if honored with the public trust. There are a number of good laws or ordinances of the city that need enforcement; needed to hell us morally, mentally and physically and it is within the power of the mayor to see that a determined eff fort is made to enforce the laws With proper cooperation on the par of the public in law enforcement we can materially improve presen conditions.

 My personal opinion of the bill is that some of the provisions are drastic-the taxing provision, for in- stance-but in order to save time we passed the Dill to the senate at the first opportunity so any changes could be made over there.
 Ward is holding the bill up pend- ing the wishes of the people in re- gard to it and with the purpose of making any necessary changes. 'I am sorry that my message to Mir McClintock created any unfavor- able impression in regard to Elliott. With kindest regards,
 Yours truly,
