TO BUILD CONCRETE ROADS.
Higher Auto License and Tax ON Gas
oline to Provide Funds.

Secretary of State J. J. Bailey gave
out a statement at Baton Rouge a
few days ago in which he declared
that a. bond issue of $30,00O,OOO to
build concrete roads throughout the
state is possible without an increase
in the state tax rate. Mr.. Bailey es-
Inmates that there are 100000 pleas
ure cars and $1,000 trucks operating
in Louisiana and that the present Ii
cense tax could be increased to a
minimum of $40 on pleasure cars and
$35 on trucks, which would make the
total tax 81 ,525, 900. He figures that
the average car consumes five gallons
of gasoline per day, and on the basis
that 100000 of the 115,000 are op-
Grated daily, the consumption Of gas
oline would be 100000 gallons per
day. A tax of one cent per gallon
would yield $4,000 per day, or ST.
825, 900 for the year. By combining
the license and gasoline taxes, the to-
tai revenue derived would amount to
$3,350, 200, which he says would be
sufficient to warrant the issuance of
$50, 100000 bonds.
A portion Of this bond issue would
be set aside to back the issue, says
MIR. Bailey, and there would be de-
duction for the upkeep Of the roads;
but with these deductions there still
would be fund sufficient for the
building of approximately 1000 miles
Of concrete roads.
Mr.. Bailey fears that opposition to
such a plan might develop on the
part of the parishes, which might
want to keep the money paid into
such a fund for road building in their
respective communities; this he be-
lieves would defeat the plan, as the
fund would have to be concentrated
in order that continuity of road
building might be maintained,
Mr.. Bailey declared that gravel
roads in this state are far from being
ia success and that their construction
seems to him to be a waste Of money.
The concrete road he says is the most
economical and satisfactory.

Honest Inspection.

Dipping for ticks should be voluns
tary, if this could be brought about
there would not be the need of paid
inspectors to see the work done,
every man would be his own inspec-
tor to carry out all that was necessary
to eradicate the tick Why can't all
people be honest and do this? Does
anybody really believe it could be
done this way? If this is the way it
should be done, does it not prove it
to be a peoples work? The need of
an Inspector in tick eradication is the
same as the need Of inspectors in
other undertakings. All people at
all times are not to b depended up
on, hence some one t check up the
work. tt cam Aglhis will not be
done any other aab1er

Congress will be asked to reduce
the federal taxes that ESthe average
man. must pay. The proposals for
tax reductions submitted call for eli
mination of the excess profits and
surtax rates. Some favor reducing
the tax that affects the average man
from to 2 per cent. Other sug-
gestions are thatdst, ater exemptions
be allowed, suchK1ss 900 for single
men and $4,000 for married men. It
is also claimed that the $500 exemp-
ton for each child is too low, and an
increase of the amount to $400 or
$500 will be asked.

TO EXPORT RICE.
Plan Proposed to Exchange Cereal
for Manufactured Products.

At a meeting Of Che board of di-
rectors Of the Rice Farmers Coop
erative Association, Inc, held in the
city Of Crowley on March Is, it was
unanimously voted to devise ways
and means to export 40 per cent of
the remaining crop to European
countries.
According to the members of the
Rice Farmers Cooperative Associa-
ton at the meeting on Thursday, the
export Of 40 per cenS of the crop
would be made easy if the banks of
hte rice belt would cooperate with
the farmers. They propose to send
representatives 70 European coun-
tries for the purpose Of proposing to
/ those countries that they take the
reesand exchange their manufactured
goods in payment. I'm view Of the
low value of foreign money, it is es-
tlmated that the farmers would be
able to dispose OF their rice at a
profitable figureo since the European
manufactured goods are IN such de
mand in this country
AhhSc thS ihaJuiloS VI tle IlCG III
sold is virtually in the hands Of the
bankers, the financial institutions of
the rice belt will be asked to cooper
ate with the farmers. A meeting Of
the bankers will be asked for, at
which the members of the Rice Farm
ers' Cooperative Association Vill re-
veal their plan in detail. ..
Europe is starving said one of
the directors. ''but has a surplus of
goods that represents an everyday
need to the American people. The
goods such as musical 'astruments,
hardware, tools, percela.uware and
toys could be exchanged for rice on
a profitable basis both for che Ameri-
can rice producer and the European
people,"

Quit Using Telephones.

It is reported from Monroe that
the Delhi exchange Of the Cumber-
land Telephone Company is practical
ly out Of commission, as a result OF
a majority Of the subscribers ceas-
ing to use the service in face of the
recent increase in rates. Leaders in
the Delhi movement maintain that
they intend to fight it out along
these lines if it takes all summer
A movement has been started by
which it is hoped TO enlist Monroe,
Rayvi11e and other ortheastern Lou-
isiana cities in the general boycott.
Such a movement, if it became state
wide would soon force the Cumber-
land company to terms or put it out
of business in this state altogether.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

It is the. serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the
germs Of influenza, pneumonia, tuber-
culosis, dyptheria, scarlet fever,
whooping cough and measles. You
are much more likely to contract
these diseases when you have cold.
For that reason you should get rid Of
every cold as quickly as possible:
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will
help you. It is widely known as a
cure for bad colds.-(Adv.1
