LOUISIANA SPECIALIST GIVEN
HIGH HONOR.

c. H. Staples, dairy specialist, Ex-
tension Division, Louisiana State Uni
versity, served as judge at the Ma
tional Dairy Show, Chicago, October o.
The invitation came from the Dairy
Division, Bureau of Animal Industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the selection being limited to 2
men, Professor Fitch, of Arkansas, be-
ing the other judge chosen.
To be chosen to serve in such an
important capacity at dairy show
Of national character is not only a
splendid appreciation of Mr.. Staples
ability in his chosen line of work but
an honor to the Louisiana State Uni
versity and to the state.
The fact that L. S. u. turns out
men who are recognized all over the
country as authorities in their special
lines is often overlooked by Louisiana
people. Mr.. Staples is known every
where as an expert judge Of dairy
cattle, and his ability in that direction
is not lost sight of by the federal
authorities.

SUNDAY WAS IBERIA
DAY AT THE FAIR.
Senator BrOuSSard and Rep.
Dreyfus Spoke.

New Iberia figured very prominent
ly in the District Fair at Lafayette on
Sunday, the Big Day.
Besides providing the band music
this city also furnished the two priuci
pal speakers for the occasion, Hon.
Edwin S. Broussard and Hon. Jules
Dreyius.
A Lafayette editor saws: with the
Iberia delegation came their classy
band, known as Arnandez's s Band, and
it furnished first class mns1c through
out the afternoon. Many fine compli-
ments were given the musicians for
the class of music they furnished
which was thoroughly enjoyed by the
thousands who attended.
Sunday was the biggest day of all
days at the Fair and was featured by
an attendance of approximately 1000
the pretty weather and good roads en-
abling farmers living in all portions
of the parish to attend. A II the eXhi-
bits were in place and attracted gen
ei al interest and admiration, while
other attractive features, such as the
speeches of Senator Broussard, Repre-
sentative Jules Dreyfus of New Iberia,
the thrilling auto hurdle race, auto
mobile and horse racing and music
aud dancing proved strong attrac
tions.
Senator Broussard eschewed politics
in his talk of forty minutes, choosing
a subject Of deeper interest, that OF
farming interests. He urged the
farmers to organize as laborers had
done. for their mutual protection and
welfare and for the promotion of their
business interests Cooperative mar
keting was desirable move, he said.
and the organization OF farmers as
sociation 10 maintain headquartel S
and officials authorized to represent
them now, was a necessary expedient.
Representative Dreyfus confirmed
optimist made happy talk that was
highly appreciated. He told the peo-
pie that it was characteristic of Amer
leans to grin and bear it like good
sports when they had to, and that
when they found it necessary to resort
to more stern measures they were un-
beatable. He figured that the present
was somewhat a trying time but that
the future held forth more happy
conditions if we all did our. part.

VOTE AGAINST
AMENDMENT No. 7
1t Removes Exemption on
Deposits and Bldg. Loans.

An urgent appeal for the defeat o.
Amendment No. 7 on November &c
has been sent out by a number OF
New Orleans organizations, including
the Dock Board, which sponsored the
measure at the last session of the
Legislature.
Unless this amendment is turned
down, it is pointed out, two very i'm
portant tax exemptions now enjoyed
by the state will be repealed.
Amendment No. 7 proposes to re-
enact Article go of the State Consti-
tuition so that industries located or
the New Orleans Industrial Canal will
be exempt from taxation. 1t is sc
worded, however, that its adoption
will repeal Act 81 of 1914 which ex-
empts from taxation money on hand
or on deposit and homestead loans,
Act 253 of 1916 which exempts from
taxation American flag ships domicil-
ed in Louisiana ports and engaged in
overseas trade.
Discovery of this defect in the
amendment was made by the New
Orleans Association of Commerce,
which Immediately sought legal opin-
ion to verify its belief. Mr.. Henry
p Dart, a we'll known New Orleans
attorney and Honorable Luther f
Hall, Assistant Attorney General,
have advised against the adoption of
the amendment.
The State Homestead League, the
Allied Building Council, the Manu-
.facturers Bureau, the New Orleans
Association of Commerce, and the
Dock Board are on record against
Amendment No. 7.

ment in which he earnestly urges the
need of constitutional convention
for Louisiana, asserting the proposed
convention is not "Parker's," but lis
absolutely the Peoples constitutional
convention" The statement follows:

fer as to legality and constitutionality.
THE proposed Constitutional Con-
vention is not 'Parker's' Constitu.
tionaI Convention, but is absolutely

ton, if they so will it and elect, re-
gardiess of politics, the ablest and
most patriotic men as their represen.
tatives
1.-The Constitution of 1898, written
by most splendid men for the purpose
OF solving the problems which con-
fronted us at that time, was not sub
mltted to the people for ratification.
The Constitutional Convention of 1921
has even more important problems to
solve for the welfare of our people
who should see to it that only the
ablest and best represent them. Incl
IDENTITY let all people remember that
they never vote on the laws which are
passed by the General Assembly.
For the progress and prosperity OF
Louisiana, new Constitution, based
on the we'll tested results in other
states and the real needs and welfare
of our people is urgent. The leAlsla-
tive act, calling for. a Constitutional
Convention, does not place any re-
striction against submission of the
drafting to the people for ratification
or rejection. While | have my own
views on the subject, l wish 1t dis.
tiDctly understood that the members
of the Constitutional Convention, free
from any interference on my part,
shall decide for themselves whether
they shall or shall not submit their
work to the people.
"It has never been my wish to make
any appointments to the Convention,
but since the General Assembly in
their wisdom have so decided, l now
state to the people that each OF these
appointments will be dictated not by
political consideration. but what in
my judgement is for the best interest
and welfare of our people and the en-
tire state, and to that end my every
effort will he to secure the ablest,
hest, most capable and most patriotic
men to assist in framing the constitu-
ton under which my children and
myself will probably spend the bal
ance of our days The result is abso-
lutely no to the people for decision.

Secretary F. V. Mouton of the Fair
Association, said Monday evening
that one of the most pleasing features
of the District Fair this year was the
musical program that was rendered
Sunday afternoon by the New Iberia
Brass Band.
The band went over to Lafayette
without pay for their services, and
rendered a delightful program of
selections and marches, and the people
of Lafayette and visitors at the Fair
were greatly pleased with the quality
of music dispensed by Prof. Arnan-
dez and his musicians.
The splenid spirit Of cooperation
displayed by the members of the band
in volunteering their services free
was highly appreciated by the Fair
management, who say that their mu-
sic aided greatly in making the occa-
sion a success.
