YOUR VOTE AGAINST SEVENTH
AMENDMENT is URGED.

This Amendment is No. 7 and will
appear as such on the ballot. After
a careful study Of the proposed
Amendments to our State Constitu-
ton, we feel it our duty to ask our
readers to vote against this particu-
lar Amendment. It's purpose is to
grant ten year tax exemption to
new industries established on the in
dustrial canal now being constructed
near New Orleans. But one of the
effects of this Amendment will be to
repeal the tax exemption granted
money on deposit. The result Of
taxing such funds will be to cause the
withdrawal of large amounts from
our banks and financial institutions.
Experience teaches that when money
is scarce interest is high. Our finan-
cial institutions do business largely
on money and funds deposited for
keeping. Should our bank depos-
its decrease, we may expect cores
ponding increase of interest rates
The best way to drive money out of
the State is to tax it. With so many
of our bonds free, the funds that
are now loaned through our banks
anu " lndlNiuudiS VIII Stth IlNtSI-
ment in tax-free securities. Thus
there will be less opportunity for a
development of our State, for the
building up of our industrial con
Germs.
We feel that the proposed Amend
ment will operate against the inter
ests Of the State and for that reason.
we join the beneficiary of the Amend
ment, that is the Dock Board, in
asking our friends vote against
Amendment No. Z.
At its meeting Tuesday night the
Board of Directors of the New he
ria Chamber Of Commerce went on
record as opposing this Amendment
No. z, and our banks and Building
Association also favor its defeat. Be
sure to vote against it, for the wei
fare Of our town and State.

CLEAN WEEK STARTS NEXT
THURSDAY.
Mayor Sealy Issues Proclamation
Calling for Cooperation.

Il your back yard clean? Are you
patriotic The two questions really
go well together. Some Of us have
the idea that patriotism means
shoulderng a gun when war comes
along-well it does-but there are
other foes than Germans and other
dangers than bullets, and lack of
sanitation are killing many more of
our American people than German
bullets did. A clean town means a
healthier town. A clean town trains
children in civic pride. A clean town
makes good impression on strang-
ers and brings more desirable people
into your town to establish homes.
The Women's Council and the Red
Cross are planning a Clean Up Week
for New Iberia from November 4th
to November 18th. Will you help :?
The Mayor has promised that the
garbage wagons will run every day
Of Clean Up-Week. Do your part,
get your rubbish out ready for the
wagon. If it does not come when
you expected it, don't knock-call up
and report it--lets all pull together
and have a clean town in which to
celebrate Armistice Day.

IDAHO BANKS HELP
LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY

Two Idaho banks are to be added to
the list of those financial institutions
which are trying to do something
practical for the small stockmen OF
their sections. These are the State
Banks of Worley and of Plummer,
Idaho. With the cooperation of The
Exchange National Bank of Spokane,
Wash, these two banks have just
purchased Grand Goods from the Her
cules Shorthorn herd of Day & Roth
rock of Sprague, Wash. He is to be
kept at Worley but his services are
to be for the use of the small breed
ers of livestock of the two adjoining
communities and is to be known as
the community bull.
In selecting this animal the officers
of the bank sought to make available
the services of better sire than any
of their individual stockman could
afford to purchase. Cashier Kellough-
of the State Bank of Worley says the
move is not charitable one. He ex-
poets the bull to build bank balances.

CALGARY, Alta.-(By A. PA
sale lake, believed to be the saltiest
in the world, has been discovered at
Senlac, Sask., 180 miles northeast OF
Calgary just across the Alberta boun-
Diary. 1t was discovered by Calgary
geologist when a search for potash
was being made. The lake is 185
acres in area and is owned by five
Calgary residents.
/ The lake, which is only 18 inches
deep, is fed by living sale springs and
its level is maintained no matter how
much is taken out, which would indi-
cate the pressure from the source of
supply Is heavy and that such source
must be of practically inexhaustable
volume. Four wells were sunk this
year and they have produced very
results. One is flowing

SHORTHORN MAN IS
INSPECTING HERDS
REPRESENTATIVE OF AMERI-
CAN SHORTHORN ASSOCIA-
TION VISITS MOSCOW.

A. E. Lawson, of Spokane, north
western representative Of the Ameri-
can Shorthorn Breeders Association,
with national headquarters at Chi
cago, is in Moscow today, and is
spending the day with N. Williamson.
inspecting Mr.. Williamsons farms
near Moscow and his herd of Short
horns at Fairview ranch, between Pa
louise and Garfield. Mr.. Lawson, in
speaking of the livestock industry, in
general, and the Shorthorn industry
in particular, said:
Despite unsettled financial condi-
tions the outlook for livestock, and
especially Shorthorn cattle, is good
We will probably never again see a
time when hay and other feed are as
high as they were last year. That
gave the cattle industry black eye.
Breeders and farmers sold their cows
and their heifer calves. There were
two reasons for this They command
ed a good price for beef and veal and
it cost too much to feed them. This
means that it will take four to six
years to get back where we were
before the war, with cattle. While
hogs increase so rapidly that a short
age can be remedied in two years, it
takes four to six years to recuperate
in loss of cattle.
'But feed is cheaper now and is
going to be much cheaper later. Ida
no has thousands of tons of hay that
can be bought for to SO per ton, but
there is no demand for it. Montana
has the greatest hay crop in its his
tory The same is true Of Washing
ton and Oregon. The Yakima valley,
the greatest hay producing section of
the west, with the best market of the
coast just across the mountains at
Seattle and Tacoma, has tens of
thousands of tons of hay that is sell
ing now, on board the cars, baled, for
$18 end I saw letter to Frank Both
rock from dealer over there who
urged him to wait as the price is sure
to go lower
''This means cheaper feed and that
it will pay to keep good cattle. Far
mers are learning that they cannot
pay 5000 to $3.50 per acre for land
to raise wheat alone. They must have
livestock and good Shorthorn cow
or bull always brings big price. A
fact is that there are very
few female Shorthorns for sale. The
breeders want to keep them for they
know there is a bright future before
them. The man who buys good
Shorthorn now buys something that
means value in coming years"
