WILSON'S ADRIAItC NOTE

London, Feb. 17.-President Will
sons note s to the Peace Conference on
the Adriatic question has furnished
London POLITICAL and newspaper cir
cles with a surprise and interest sur
passing that evoked by the Wilson
Lansing correspondence. The lansing
incident was regarded as an American
family affair, toward which foreign
ers should be merely disnterestsd
spectators. The Presidents reappear-
ance as, determined part in the
peace negotiations was construed as
almost as threatening as his order
for the George Washington to be pre-
pared to take him home from France
The first versions Of the event gave
it the aspect Of an ultimatnm, which
meant that the council of the Allies
must stand by the terms which Presl-
dent Wilson accepted in December
or America would shake the dust Of
European affairs off her feet alto
gether, and also that the council has
framed stiffly worded reply ad
herring to its January offer to the
Jugo-Slavs.
Later information appeared te
soften the stiff-necked positions ere
dited to both parties. This consisted
of messages from Washington thai

of Fl. Il. Atlas, proprietors of the

told him that the solid tired trucks

probation and upkeep than they
earned. On the verge Of decid-
ing to return to horse-drawn We

WHAT OF TOMORROW?

Today American products, ex-
orbitant in price, are in great de-
mand in Europe. This is so be-
cause Europe, devastated by war,
can not make these articles them
selves fast enough t. supply the
immediate demand.
But in time Europe will be
making sufficient for home Goa
sumption and will have an addi-
tional output for export.
In America wages are abnorm-
ally high, as are also the raw
materials. The cost of manufac-
ture is therefore Sin the sky"
In Europe labor is much cheap
er and articles can be marketed
at a cost below that for which We
can produce them.
In time. when Europe has re-
covered, America will be required
to compete with these countries
for world trade America with its
high cost Of manufacture against
Europe with its low cost.
That is the condition which the
present insane price imitation will
bring about.
The misfortune Of others has
made us fortunate today-has en-
riched us beyond the dreams of
ayarice.
But tomorrow it may be the
reverse.
1t is worth our serious cOnsid-
Grafton. when we hear people talk
of prices going even still higher.

PARKER URGES TAXING OIL
INTERESTS.

The Sugar Planter cannot but
comment favorably on the re-
marks by the Governor-elect at
the Rotary luncheon Wednesday
IN asking cooperation from all
business interests in enacting laws
that would put Just tax on the
natural resources Of our State.
The greatest of these resources
&ay are the oil and gas produc
ton. At minimum cost to the
drillers production Of 10000, 900
barrels of crude Gil is extracted
from the earth from which the
States gets revenue Of three
fourth Of cent per barrel. This
oil is worth $3.50 or thereabouts
per barrel, or near seventy mil
lions Of dollars is leaving the state
annually upon which the great
State Of Louisiana gets a mere
pittance. These oil schemers and
the public should be enlightened
to the fact that oil and gas, sui
phur and salt, and timber are nat
ural resources Of the State and
should be taxed as such. This
campaign of education appeals to
the thinking man far more than
the Governor-elect's denunciations
Of ring politics and ring rule in
the CITY of New Orleans. Let
the "Down with the Ring" cry DC
confined to Mr.. Parker's home
city and his homo people. We
in the country are interested in
up-building of the State; ia prof.
lens of taxation: in public educa-
tom in good roads. the greatest
asset the State enjoys.
The land owner has heretofore
contributed his more than just
proportion Of taxation for all pub
lie purposes. lie has contributed
without a whimper until now when
his share is out Of proportion to
the eyenue derived from his hold
ings. It is the time to put stop
to this annual increase in our
taxes and Mace the burden where
it Justly belongs--on the rich nat-
raI resources Of our State.
These resources are being bled BIZ
those who contribute little to the
wealth of Louisiana and nothing
to its greatness. The State Of
Louisiana is looked upon as a first
class sucker for the Get-Rich-
Quick Warringfords.
We are producing herewith,
Mr.. Parkef's talk at the Rotary.
luncheon in New Orleans, quoting
it from the morning paper
Louisiana is in a formative pc
Rod. said Mr.. Parker, and we
ought to take advantage Of all
our opportunities for development
in a business-lilSe way. There Isl
not another state in the Union
that has thrown away its great
natural resources as has Louisi-
ana its lands, its timber. its min
erals.
And there is a feverish haste
to get rid Of our oil in much the
same way. Holes are being drilled
in the ground as fast as men can
drill them SO as to drain off this
great resource of the State and
turn It quickly into big fortunes
without any consideration for pol
icies Of wise conservation and
without the State, which is pro-
viding these great fortunes, get
ing any real benefits.
81 am told that during the year
it is estimated Louisiana's oil
production will be 20,000,000 bar
rels. and on this great production,
