vEroEs THE TARIFF BILL
This is no Time for High Trade
Barriers" Wilson Says.

Washington, March 3.-Thc Ford
ney emergency tariff bill was We,
toed late today BY President Wilson
in a message that declared: This is
no time for the erection here Of high
trade BARRIERS" and that the measure
would not furnish III any substantial
degree the relief sought by the pro
ducers of most Of the staple COM
nlodities that it covers" Action Of,
the veto was expected in the house
and possibly in the senate tonight.
The situation in which many OF
the farmers of the country, find them
selves cannot be remcdied by meas
ure Of this SORT" the Presidents mes
sage said. There is no short way
out Of existing conditions, and meas
ures of this sort can only have the
effect OF deceiving the farmers and
OF raising false hopes among them. +"
The farmer needs better system
OF domestic marketing and credit
he said, but especially larger foreign
markets for his surplus products"
Clearly, measures of this Sort" he
continued, will not conduce to an ex-
pansion of the foreign market.

The Verrier building,

The Verrier building, ap-
posite the Elk Theatre is being
renovated into a first class COM
mercial store by Mr.. Louis
Abadie, our local contractor.
This building was leased for a
term of years by Messrs. P. P.
Tricou & Sons of New Orleans.
These people first established
themselves in that city in the
year 1867, dealing almost ex-
clusively in gents furnishings
and they have a reputation for
fair dealing all over the South
since they operate many branch
houses. As soon as their build
ing in this City is finished and
ready to be equipped with stock
they will then threw open their
doors here and make bid for
trade. When the store is COM
pleted with two modern show

In our mention of the winner
of the second prize for the best
decorated automobile ir the
Armistice Day parade last Fri
day, we stated that the car was
entered BY Miss Theia Murray.
The decorated Overland which
was generously loaned by Mr..
Thomas DeBlanc was really en-
tered and decorated by the
mothers and faculty of the Live
Oak School of this City and
Miss Murray was asked 10
drive it. We make the corres-
ton in justice to the patrons of
the Live Oak School, who took
such great interest in-helping to
make the festivities of that day
the success that it was. This
car took the second price, and
also won the plaudits of all who
observed the beautiful decora-
tons and the charming young
ladies, who had the pleasure
helping to make it more attrac-
i've.

business

;; Coupling business with
civic pride, there are but few
Citizens more enterprising than
Mr.. Luke l.. Bertrand of New
iberia. This was very much
exemplified this week when at
the expense of his Company, he
contracted with Mr.. Daniel D.
Avery, of Avery Island, for
enough cementitious gravel to
build a road in between the fac
tory and lumber yard on Hop
kins Street. The property of
this Company now embraces a
whole square, bounded by
Washington and Pershing and
he has a number of men busily
engaged spreading the gravel
over the entire street. This will
give the people of New Iberia a
good driveway from Railroad
Avenue to his store and factory
and while the investment is
high, it is nothing to the trade
he will receive from those who
travel in autos.

We understand that the
committee appointed by Mayor
La Sale some days ago, to con-
slider, whether or not, another
audit of the City's book should
be made, before the, Council
submits a proposition to the
citizens to continue the three
mill tax of the New Iberia
Southern Drainage Canal which
will expire in a few years, to be
used to meet the general en-
penses of New iberia, reported
that another. audit was neces-
sary. This made it encumbent
upon the Council at their meet
ing on Monday, to again employ
Mr.. Minuet to make complete
audit which win take about six
ty days time. When it is taken
into consideration an audit was
made only a few weeks ago at
an expense of $140O, to ascer-
tain what the City owed the diff
ferent sacred funds, and which
had been used to meet other
obligations by the previous adj
ministration, we cannot see the
logic of again making an ex-I
penditure of about $1,000 or
more, to simply to show what
losses the Citv's Electric Light
plant incurred previous to the
last audit. 1t seems to us it is
a waste of money to continue
these useless and expensive
audits, especially when the
treasury of New iberia is de-
pleted. The report recently
made bv Mr.. Minuet showed the
outstanding debt of New he
ria, and another audit, at SO
great an expense, will not re-
lieve the situation one bit! The
debt must be paid through some
form of special taxation and the
sooner we make up our minds
to vote the continuation Of the
present three mill tax the bet
ter. We do feel fully justified
in saying that with assessments
on property up to the 100 per
cent. basis. and an increase for
electric light service, once the
three mill tax is voted a reduc-
ton in millage and also re-
duction in light charges should
be forthcoming by the present
administration.

On Wednesday night two

On Wednesday night two
negro convicts made their es-
cape from Hope Plantation.
The next morning when their
absence was discovered, two
deputies from the farm with
blood hounds started out In
search of them and they were
traced as far as PEBBLES Planta-
ton south of New Iberia. At
that point the hounds lost their
scent, due to the boarding a
freight car and got away. That
evening reports came in that
they were seen in another part
of the Parish and Deputy
Sheriff Lenitz Viator and
George Colgin went out to look
for them, but without success
and they are still at large.

Mrs. Jules DarDy brOugh

Mrs. Jules Darby brought
to our office last Saturday, a
cluster of ten grape fruit, all
on one stem. The cluster must
have weighed at least seven
pounds and were beautiful. Mr..
Darby has on his place near
New iberia, about a dozen of
these trees, though only three
bear fruit this season. The
cluster of fruit attracted the at
tention of visitors at the New
iberia Hardware Co. store,
where it is still on display. A
sample of the luscious fruit was
presented to us and our opinion
is that it excels the fruit brought
in here from California which
is sold at fabulous prices.
