Last year 100000 persons in Minneap-

than $27 each to make up the $3,0O0,-
900 raised for the Chest Fund. That
was per capita subscription of about
$77O for the entire city.
This year, $1,5OO,OOO is to be raised for
the Town Tea-Kettle Fund. It is
estimated there are 100000 persons
in Minneapolis to subscribe to it.
The figure of 81, 100000 was reached by
careful survey Of the needs for
1920. This survey was made by
committee of business men, labor
representatives and practical social
workers..
The passing of the war work require

raised, but it does not reduce the need

NO DATE YET SET FOR RAILS
RETURN TO PRIVATE
OWNERS.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.-
The bill embodying permanent
legislation to meet the situation
created by the return of the rail
roads to private control continued
today in the Senate debate, but
senator's admittedly are still III
the dark as to the time President
Wilson plans to turn back the car
rier lines.
Director General Hines has sent
to the president new recommends
tions as to ending government ope-
ration, but he would not discuss
them today and White House Off
cials professed to have no infor-
nation.
Many senators and some adj
ministration officers still hold to
the opinion that the president will
not carry out his notice to Con-
gress of last May that government
control would be ended by Jan. /.
They think the time of the return
will depend largely on the prog
ress made by Congress on the
permanent legislation.

tion of our highways, and ma
jority of the members of the
Chamber of Commerce thought
this the most opportune time to
start the agitation, so that when
the election is called, the senti-
ment would be overwhelmingly in
favor of the tax. Almost every
day we hear complaints from cit
liens in the Parish. that even
with the roads as at present out
lined by the Police Jury, they will
not get much benefit, because
their farms are situated in the
most remote parts Of the country.
Another reason it is essential that
a general tax be levied is to ere
ate a drainage and maintenance
fund. There are some few people
who raise the contention that ma

ficult to secure because of the

by the first of the year are going
forward at the Railroad Admin
istration, however. Administra-
tion office contracts contain a
thirty-day release clause so that
they may be abrogated at any
time without great loss to the gov

far as possible before the first Of

In its effort to speed up perm
anent legislation, the Senate held
another night session, but there
was little prospect Of final con-
gressional action until well after
the Christmas holidays.
Sharpe opposition to some of
the provisions Of the Cummins bin
under discussion was expressed
in the debate today and tonight.
Senator Poindexter, Republican,
Of Washington, attacked the pro-
posal under which the Interstate
Commerce Commission would be
authorized in special eases to per-
nit a lower charge for a long haul
than for short haul, while Sen
ator Frelinghuysen, Republican,
of New Jersey, argued provision
should be made for assisting the
roads in financing their immediate
needs after their return. To that
end he offered an amendment to
permit them to borrow from the
government out Of $500, 100000
fund.
The amendment is identical with
the provision Of the House bill
and is opposed by Senator Cum
Minis, who contended that Con-
gress ought to assume that legis-
lation soon would be enacted
which would enable the roads to
borrow from private sources all
the money needed to meet imrne
diate requirements.

At its meeting last Tuesday
evening the initial steps were

campaign to vote small tax, cov-
ering a long period of years to
build and maintain gravel roads
in every nook and corner Of the
Parish. This movement was
started for the reason that while
taxes have been voted already to
build the main roads leading to
the different communities, no pro-

constructed in the South, it would
be difficult to build roads even
in 1920. TO those who feel that
way about the matter, we wish to
direct their attention to the fact
that with the two canals COM
pleted during 1920 we will be in
position to secure millions Of bar
rels of clam shells that could be
used as base, and afterwards a
coating of gravel could be placed
on top of them that will give the
people Of the Parish highways
that would be permanent and last
ing. The shells could be barged
into the Parish at less than half
the cost of gravel and the saving
would be enormous as the gravel
could be reduced at least to one
third if foundation is made with
shells. In this way thousands Of
dollars would be saved in trans
portation and the saving in money
could be used as a maintenance
and drainage fund. This move
ment, like that of the two canals.
will all rebound to the benefit of
the entire people and the sooner
the elections are called and the
work proceeded with the better.
There is a decided sentiment in
fsv0r Of Parish wide tax, evcG
at this time, and once the masses
Of the people consider the great
benefits to be derived, we are GER
tain all three Of these PROPOSE
tions will meet with general favor.
In other parishes in Louisiana
where only plans were made to
build the main highways, the peo-
pie have discovered their mistake
and in turn voted Parish wide
taxes to build roads in every
nook and corner, and Iberia Par
ish is no different. To have good
roads we must also have good
drainage. and it takes money to
do both. There is no use in at
tempting to build highways with
out first making provision to drain
them and afterwards there must
be maintenance fund in proper
ton to the amount Of roads in the
Parish.
We are glad to see the members
Of the Chamber Of Commerce
start this movement for iberia
Parishes advancement, and we
feel certain the movement will be
put through. President Alfred
Lewald of the Chamber of Com
merce has, at the advise of others,
better acquainted with our citi-
zens, appointed as members Of the
Good Roads Committee gentlemen
from each Ward and it is hoped
they will all be ON hand at the
next meeting of the Police Jury
to urge a call for the election to
impose a general tax upon the en-
tire people Of the Parish. With
New Iberia, Jeanerette and Lo-
reauville contributing to the tax
there should be no difficulty in !
getting all of the property hold-I
ers of the Parish to give it their |
full endorsement when the tax is |
