TO CORRECT A ISLANDER

It is hard to correct false reports
Error travels faster than truth, and II
would seem that it is also held more
tenaciously by the human mind
There never was any truth In the
statement that campaigns for the re-
duction Of the cotton acreage In the
past have always failed" In fact
they have always succeeded both II
reducing the cotton acreage and In
creasing the price.
There have been since 1895 foul
well-marked campaigns for the reduc
ton Of the cotton acreage. The ont
In 1919 was largely conducted by cot
ton farmers, supply merchants, ant
bankers, and was discontinued as soor
as prices began going up, but ther'
was reduction In the acreage JUS
the same.
1005.-Acreage i, reduced 1871 PEI
cent; price increased 20 per cent.
18&.-Acreage reduced 14.7 pc
cent; price increased IS per cent.
1915.-Acreage reduced AT pc
cent; price increased 68 per cent.
1918-Acreage reduced IA per cent
price increased % per cent.
The acreage will be reduced in 1872,

TELEPHONE RATE INCREASE
PROTESTED BY G, OF G.

Feeling that the raise in the rates
Of the Cumberland Telephone Co. was
unjust and an imposition upon the
public, the Executive Committee Of the
Arcadia Chamber Of Commerce me,
Tuesday morning for the purpose of
entering protest against this increase
which amounts to 20 per cent The
raise was granted by the Louisiana
State Railroad Commission at the close
of a meeting which lasted four days.
Commissioner Huey P. Long, Of the
third district, was opposed to the &C
ton Of the commission, but Commits
sioners Michel and Taylor put their
approval on the matter and the In.
crease went in effect on March LIST.
The resolution passed by the Execu.
tive Committee Of the Arcadia G. OF
G. is as follows:
Arcadia, La, March 1, 1921.
Whereas, the twenty per cent. in
crease in telephone rates, grantd by
the Louisiana Railroad Commission, Is
unwarranted and an invasion Of the
peoples rights, therefore,

UNITED STATES FARM LOAN
BANKS DECREED LEGAL

b. +. Barnette, attorney for the Fed
cral Farm Loan Bank. has directed
our attention to the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States rendered on February q. TIT
court held that the act of Congress
creating the Federal Farm Loan
Board under which the Federal Land
Bank operates is constitutional. The
following from the Shreveport Times
is detailed report Of the courts de.
CisiOn:
Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Farm
Loan Act, designed to assist the agri.
cultural development Of the United
States by providing readily accessible
credits to farmers through land loan
banks, was declared constitutional to-
day by a decision Of the supreme
court.
In an opinion which Commissioner
Charles II. Lobdell, Of the farm loan
board declared clears away every
legal question and removes every
shadow Of question as to the legality
Of the banks or their bonds" the court
held that congress had full authority to
establish the land banks and the cor.
relative authority to exempt their
bonds from state taxation.
Commissioner Lobdell announced
that there would be an immediate is
sue OF farm loan bonds to an undeter.
inmate amount to finance the hundreds
Of millions of dollars in loans which
already had been approved by the
board and which were held up pending
the courts decision.
"A bond offering will be made az
, soon as the bonds can be made ready
Mr.. Lobdell said, land Immediately
! thereafter the distribution Of funds
! begun. 1t will be at least thirty days
however, before funds are available
for actual loaning.
"The farm loan board Is hopeful that
the market may Absorb farm bonds
equal to the borrowing demands Of the
farmers of the country, but no one can
predict with safety the result Of a fl
nancial operation on this magnitude
The case decided today was an ap
peal from decision Of the lower court
brought by Charles H. Smith, a stock
holder Of the Missouri Title and Trus
Co., to restrain that corporation from
investing funds in the farm loan banks
The contention was made that the farm
loan act is invalid, as congress ha(
neither the authority under the con
stitution to establish banks or exemp
their securities from state taxation.

CRIME AND PREVENTION

Editorial from WeDSter olghai|
Smart men the country over haN
been trying to find the cause Of tk
so-called crime wave which Is sweep
ing the country and at the same timt
find q preventative for it. TO our
simple and unsophisticated way Of
thinking the cause Of 1t is very eVl'
dent. Practically since the war start
ed 1t has been easy for anybody t.
make a living. Ship yards, and Other
government work has employed thous.
ands Of men at prices for. common Ia.
Dor which amounted to more than tn
salary Of the governors Of many states
With this kind Of competition 1t was
necessary for private enterprises to
pay the same II they kept men. Times
are now back to normal and a man has
to work-actually work-or he can't
be hired. In this issue we publish an
account Of a robbery by a man wht
has been school teacher, was q sol
der and last year was In the oil leas.
ing game. That business went to tn,
bad and be tried to make his living by
stealing instead Of working.
That much for cause and effect. Now
for the cure.
Sheriff Philips was notified that thi
robbery had been committed and IL
less than 48 hours had a confession
from the robber. In less than 60
hours he had been sentenced to serve
five to seven. years at hard labor in
the state penitentiary. In less thai
four days from the time he committed
the crime he will be at work serving
that sentence. II every man who com.
mits a crime knew that he would be
In the pen in less than a week il he
was caught, and If all officers would
get on the job like they did in Webster
in this case, that wave would play out
mighty quick.
