FORTY-TWO MILLION DOLLARS

Doesn't seem so big since we have
got into the habit of thinking in bill
lions, but it is not to be despised even
by Wall Street.
Forty-two million dollars is the
amount the railroad brotherhoods
alone have on deposit in banks, and
the interest on those funds is being
used to fight the group who deposits
the money. No wonder the worker has
always been skinned" he has done
so many stupid things.
Credit in these days is the life
blood of society" Banks control cred
it, and therefore control society. Plu-
tOcracy rules because the people let
plutOcrats get away with it. But the
people are getting wise to their game.
When cooperative enterprises are
opened. the bankers smilingIy accept
their accounts; but just as soon as CO.
operation endangers competitive bus
mess. all the forces that competitive
business can command is used to
crush it; and the first blow usually
comes from the bank-credit is cut off
Cooperation will soon have reached
a point threatening competitive bus
mess generally, and must of necessity
establish its own banking institutions.
controlled by the working class. This
is, perhaps, the most important part
of the program adopted by All Com
mercial Farmer-Labor Congress, the
results of which are already in evil
dence.

SWEET PROFITS

Co-operators know, however, that
there is one big reason which no one
can deny to be true, and that big rea-
son is the fact that the sugar we now
use is produced for profit and sold
for profit. IF there were not a profit
in sugar, the profiteers would not ham
die a single pound. but would leave
us to do without sugar in cur coffee
and other foods.
The only solution of the question
is to take the profit out of the sugar
by owning the sugar plantations as oc-
operators and distributing the sugar a.
mong ourselves as co-operators.
Sugar for use and not one cent for
profit" should be our ralIying cry in
our fight against the sugar trust, which
is taking this year one billion, five
hundred millions. in profit out Of the
pockets of the American working peo-
pie.

increase of over million. or A per
cent, in ten years. This is the great
est gain made during the decade by
any state so far announced, and is pro-
badly more than four times the growth
that Louisiana will show. Louisianans
would do we'll to inquire why.
Louisiana has advantages of soil and
climate far superior to the great coast
state. 1t can produce all the fruits and
vegetables than California produces,
and produce them earlier and better
favored, and produces several that are
not on the California repertory. Its
crops, with ample rainfall, are not de-
pendent upon irrigation, and are pro-
duced 1000 miles nearer to the great
markets. which gives them a great
economic advantage. Its gateway port
far outstrips any Pacific port in bus
mess and is thousands Of miles nearer
to the great markets of Europe and
South America. Its lands are cheap
er and more easily prepared for cul-
tivation.
Yet California has something on
u" or people would not pour through
louisiana on fast trains and traverse
hundreds of miles of desert to reach
California and invest their money and
energy there, when both could be more
profitably employed here. right on the
fringe of the nations crowded areas.
We don't know what it is, but it would
be worth millions to the people Of Lou
isiana to find out."
We have this to say:
There may be more than one rea-
son why California gains over Louis
lana so rapidly. There are, we be-
lieve, many reasons.
In our humble opinion, advertising
solves the problem to large extent
You go to your grocers to buy some
canned fruit and you will get CalifOr-
MIA fruit. 1t is California raisins, prunes
oranges. figs. honey. peaches, april
cots, etc. You cannot ride on a street
car in the East in any large city but
you gaze intently at an advertisement
of some California product.
Who ever saw any favorable adj
yertisment Of Louisiana cane syrup or
Louisiana's other products advertised
In this manner?
Another important way to solve the
problem is the changing of the atti-
tude of Louisianans towards investiga-
tors. Why don't they boost their state?
Instead, when a Northern man comes
to see about buying a farm in our ter
ritory, we tell him that he can't grow
anything here. We heard only this
year man say this very thing to a
visitor. Fact is. we have grown in Yer
non Parish this year as high as 300
bushels Of sweet potatoes to the acre,
and 400 gallons of syrup to the acre.
Why do not the local people wake

PRESIDENT OF MENHADEN
PLANT ANSWERS CRITICISM
Appeals TO the Residents of Five
Mile Beach and Middle Town.
shin TO be a Little Patient

Mr.. Augustus Hilton, President OF
the Consolidated Fisheries Corpora
ton, states that the menhaden plant
was erected on Richardson's Channel
because OF its closeness to the ocean,
and the plant, which cost $3.50 ,0OO. is
modern throughout and was built for
the purpose of producing guano, a fish
oil substitute for turpentine, etc. The
BY product ~leftafter the oil has been ex-
tracted is known as calculated scrap,
which is used as a fertilizer. The
cause of the temporary discontinue was
due to lack of labor and the over
whelming supply of raw material
brought to the plant by the fish boats.
The inability to secure Ii Dor made 1t
impossible for the plant officials to re-
move the accumulated scrap turned
out during the course of production,
resulting in a heavy aroma of ammonia
arising from the scrap left in the i'm
mediate location of the plant.
President Hilton seeks the patience
of the entire community and states
that if all will be patient the discom-
fort will soon be done away with. AT
the present time great sheds are being
built around the piles of scrap, so that
the sun and elements may not beat
down on the accu mutation. Disin-
fectants are being sprayed around the
piles of the warehouses, SO as to over
come the ammonia fumes leaking
through the plant cracks.
The corporation has secured a large
warehouse on the railroad, near Rio
Graude and is storing the scrap there.
1t is the plan of the corporation for the
next summer to load the scrap in
trucks and remove it in the night im-
mediately after it is produced. The
truck tops will be covered so that the
odors will be confined to the truck.
The men identified with this corpor'
alton, are in the main residents and
property wner Of Five Mile Beach,
and say they have just as much inter
est in the welfare of the community al
the other residents here. The plant has
a weekly payroll of $40, 600, all of il
being spent on Five Mile Beach. The
corporation gives employment to fifty
men in the plant and over one hun
dred men on the fish boats. Tht
value of this industry will be apprec
lated after things have gotten in shap'
and in accordance with the wishes o
the men backing the industry.
They ask the citizens and resident
to be patient with them until they
have completed the disposing faciIitie
for removing the scrap as soon as i
is produced, and know full we'll tina
when these plans have been completed
that the menhaden plant will NJ

If it is still true that "as goes Maine,
so goes the nation" the Republicans
will score a tremendous victory in No
vember. They swept the Pine Tree
state, electing Parkhurst for governor,
and all the rest of their ticket by a
majority of about 5000. Every coun-
ty in the state went Republican. Ma
tional leaders of the party, of course,
greeted this result with shouts of Joy.
Nearly $4,000 women went to the polls.
and some 10000 of them voted the
Republican ticket. This is regarded
as especially significant, for it has
been contended that the women of the
country would support the League of
Nations. The campaign in Maine was
conducted largely on national issues,
the league issue being foremost, and
both parties sent national figures into
the state as campaign orators, the
Democratic forces being led by Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, candidate for vice
president, and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. Calvin Coolidge, Republican
candidate for vice president, Senator
Lodge and other heavy guns were
there for the Republican ticket, and
devoted much of their energies to at
lacking the Wilson draft of the league.
Governor Cox, Mr.. Roosevelt, Chair
man White and other leading Demo
Gratis all refuse to consider Maine a
reliable political barometer. Secre-
tary Tumulty, after comforting with
President Wilson, said only that the
Maine result cannot be considered as
indicative of the general result in
November"
The impartial observer will accord
the greatest Importance to the atti-
tude of the Maine women, though it
may be true that the women of the
central and western states do not feel
the same way about the league as
President Wilson wants 1t.

OF the primaries of the week, the
most interesting and important were
those of New York and Illinois. In
the former the regulars" of both par
ties won. The Republicans renomi-
mated Senator Wadsworth, and the
Democrats named Lieut.. Gov. Harry
G. Walker as his opponent. The Hill
nois primaries were interesting, espe-
cially because of the fierce "civil war
within the Republican party there.
The faction led by Mayor Thompson
of Chicago was bitterly attacked by
the metropolitan press, but it swept
Chicago and Cook county. In the
rest of the state the anti-Thompson
forces piled up such large majorities
that at this writing the result is in
doubt.
The power of the press" is very
poorly exempliied by the Chicago
newspapers, for they nearly always
lose in fights of this kind.
