we hasten to add that this is at the

The bulk of this paper is made
from wood pulp. This requires the

and a sensible campaign it is-dWells
too much on the money side. Unless

JOHN T. MICHEL.

On last Tuesday Hon. John I. Mi
chel died suddenly at his home IN
New Orleans at the age of GA years.
He had been active in politics Tor
many years. He had been Secretary
of State from 1896 until 1872. In
that year he ran for the nomination
for Governor before the Democratic
primary. He opposed the late Luther
b. Hall, and Mr.. Hall having ran
first in the primary, but failed to get
a majority vote. This made second
primary necessary between HIM anG
Mr.. Hall, Michel having run second
in the race, but before the primary
could be held Mr.. Michel withdrew
from the contest, and Mr.. Hall be-
came the nominee of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Michel, soon after the
gubernatorial campaign in 1917, was
elected a member of the Railroad
Commission, now the Public Service
Commission, and held it until his
death. He held positions of public
trust in New Orleans for many years
and performed them with faithful
diligence. He had many friends. Per-
sonally he was very popular and few
had an unkind word for John T. Mi
chel. Those who enjoyed his personal
friendship and confidence knew how
faithfully he tried to and did serve
his people and State. He was true to
his friends. He was without malice IN
his actions towards his fellow man
and sought to be governed by the in
fuence of right and kindly effort.

LOUISIANA TO EXHIBIT AT IN.
TERNATIONAL SHOW.

Louisiana will make an attractive
display Of her Agricultural and min
eral resources at the international
. Livestock, Hay and Grain Show which
will be held in Chicago November
26 to Dec. 3. A. A. Ormsby, fair spe-
- cialist in the State University extern
sion Division, will have charge of the
. exhibit, and is planning to make the
largest exhibition Of Louisiana pro-
ducts that has ever been staged at
an out-of=state fair. In addition to
the prize-winning products from the
State Fair, there will be displays
made by the Department of COnser-
= walton and by the Union Sulphur
Company.
Louisiana won three first prem
iums on corn at the Chicago show
last year, competing not only against
the states entering state exhibits,
but also against individual exhibits
from every section of the southern
district, and Mr.. Ormsby believes
that the quality Of the grain pres
ented this year is far superior toI
that Of last year, and that he expects
to make . much better exhibit at the
coming show.
OF the nine competing state eX-
hibits. Louisiana will stand second
in the footage of exhibit space, be-
ling exceeded only by the state of
Michigan. With the cooperation Of
yrarish agricultural agents through
, out the state in the selection of ma
terial for the exhibit Mr.. Omsby is
.,confdent Of making a very credita-
BE showing for Louisiana.

VOTE FOR REPEAL OF
 EXCESS PROFITS TAX

The referendum vote on national tax ation taken last week by the Norwich Chamber of Commerce shows an over whelming majority of the members in favor of repeal of the excess profits tax Those voting in favor of the repeal num- bered 115 while those opposed numbered but F. The vote also shows the cham Der members in favor of a tax on every sale or every turnover of all commodi- ties. retail or otherwise. There is also a decided sentiment in favor of a law in- creasing exemptions as allowed under present laws. and also in favor of modi- fcation downward of surtaxes The vote shows strong opposition to taxes imposed upon retail sales noly.
 The referendum was taken in order that the chamber of commerce could bo- tain the sentiment of it's members rel ative to national taxation. The result will be sent to Connecticut's representa- lives in congress as indicating the senti- ment of the community.
 The vote on the several phases of tax ation was as follows
 Repeal of Excess Profits TaxIn fa- cor 115 opposed, F; blanks 8. The present excess profits tax was designed to reach those of wealth and large in- comes. It is Dredicated on the principle that all profits over and above per cent on invested capital are inordinate or excessive profits. The basis for cal cuating the excess profits tax is invest cd capital, levied at graduated rate of 20 per cent on earnings above 8 per cent. and 40 per cent. on all earnings above 20 per cent. on this invested capi- taL As q result of this system, statis- ties show that an extra cost of 15 per cent to 40 per cent is added to almost every article nurcnased Its effect has been to increase the price of the neces sjtfes of life an average of 23 per cent
 Furthermore, it has the tendency to drive canital away from business into tax exempted securities
 Simplicity Tax-In favor, 1o3; op posed, 2S; blanks 1. The simplicity tax, known as the sales or turnover tax. is a plan to levy 1 per cent ta2 on all sales of services or commodities The amount of this tax can be readil! figured from the total sales of eaci month It would be collected from thu sale of raw material to the manufactur CT. upon the manufacturers sale of hi product, upon the jobber's sale. and s | on down to the final tax of 1 per cent. t ! the consumer.

exempt securities to industry and gen. eraI business. It is not an experiment.. It has been in successful operation in the Philippines for 15 years. Its effect on the price of the necessities of life would be to lower the tax from 23 per cent to fair average of 1-2 per cent
 Retail Sales Tax-In favor, 26; op- posed, 94; blanks IS. The retail sales tax is a plan to levy a tax upon only one sale-the final sale to the consumer It eliminates sales of capital assets and sales of services. This tax might pre- sent great difficulties in administration in determining what are retail sales, or sales for consumption or use. Such a tax would probably be an additional tax. to which would be added the pyramded profits .taX of ali the preceding handlers of the goods. The rate would necessar-
 fly be high, if large revenues were re- quired, and the principle of protecting
 the consumer would be violated. The cost of administration of this tax, be- cause of the unreliability of making re-
 turns by various classes of retailers.
 would be very high. In all probability
 this tax would be much higher than the
 estimated average of 1-2 per cent. of
 the simplicity tax
 Exemptions-In favor, 9S; opposed,
 31 blanks, 6. Present tax exemptions
 or S1,U0O for single persons and $2,OU0
 for married persons are a hardship for
 those of small incomes. Persons of small
 income normally spend from 90 per cent to 100 per cent. Of it for living expenses,
 including rent. It permits large incomes to entirely escape taxation, because of investment in non-taXabfe securities. In
 the former case it violates the principle of ability to pay taxes Therefore, per | sons of small income should be given fair consideration, especially because the purchasing power of the dollar has de creased more than half This increased exemption would eliminate the small dealer and the major percentage of the farmers who would, however, pay theiI share of taxation through indirect taxes on the necessities of life. SurtaXes-In favor 113,; opposed, Is blanks T. The present personal income tax. while bearing heavily on moderate incomes, permits very large incomes tc entirely escape taxation, because of in. l vestment in non-taxable securities. The
 rate of tax on income, therefore, should not exceed the point at which the tax payer can get a reasonable return on. in vestment in taxable securities. Any ratt
 Of tax beyond that point will cau@o in lNestors to gradually dispose of F bl' securities and replace them with non
 taxdaole securities thus creating a clasi 1 of non-taxpayers. This practice of in vesting large sums of money in tax-fre' i securities withdraws large amounts O l investment capital from industry, rail roads and public service corporations. I ! is estimated that s14,075, ,000. 900 are nov invested in tax exempt bonds
