Parade Against Prohibition.

Over one hundred thousand peo-
pie, including many women formed
a monster parade which marched
through some ne the principal streets
'of New ork Gfts on jul as afi
anti Prohibition den1on ton. There
were more than 300 organizations
in line and the parade was over two
miles long. It was reviewed by
Mayor Hy1and, at Madison Square.
Many brass bands furnished music
and innumerable banners were car
ried by the marchers, calling upon
the people to witness ttthe od dtl
on personal liberty" One placard
read: Prohibition took the sunshine
from our homes and put the moon
shine in" Another said: Russia
went dry in 1919 and mad in 1921.
How rational do you feel yourself, 2
A third declared: "Four million
soldiers fought for liberty and they
were given prohibition. How Gomez"
Some Of the banners urged the peo-
pie to take the parade and sentiment
it represented seriously, each claim
ing that the marchers wanted the
Eighteenth Amendment repealed and
the Volstead Act 'sliberalized," and
furthermore that they were going to
fight for the cause.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Reorganizes as Louisiana Public
Service Commission.

The Louisiana Railroad Commits
sion met at Baton Rouge Thursday
and Friday of last week, and re-
organized under the new constitu-
tion as the Louisiana Public Service
Commission. Shelby Taylor, chair
man Of the old rail commission, was
elected to the same position on the
new body. Huey P. Long, the third
member of the old commission did
not attend the meeting, but issued
the following statement from Shreve-
port:
''The last meeting of the Railroad
Commission and first meeting of the
Louisiana Public Service Commission
is called by Taylor and Michel to
meet in Baton Rouge for the pur-
pose of electing a chairman for the
new commission under the new con-
stitution
"Only the three commissioners,
Taylor, Michel and myself can vote
to elect the chairman.
II will not attend this meeting to
elect the new chairman for the rea-
son that cannot vote for Mr.. Michel.
Under no kind of circumstances
would I dare cast vote in this state
for Shelby Taylor to be chairman Of
this new commission. The people of
the state are now demanding that
both Michel and Taylor be either m-
peached or recalled. Therefore, if
I were to attend this meeting, I
would have to vote for myself and l
cannot do this.
While the people clar.or for their
removal, Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Michel
may meet Thursday and Friday.
Likely, as usual, they will both take
lunch with some attorney. Then
these gentlemen will repair to the
state house to elect a chairman for
the peoples newly-created commits
sion of public service. Either Michel
or Taylor will vote for himself, so
that one or the other Of them may
have the necessary two votes. By
this they will make chairman some
one whose impeachment is sought by
the people. They would never want
me as chairman. Their railroad and
Cumberland friends would object.
Sooner or later we may get us up
recall in this state and remove both
of these good men. Therefore, the
only way to save myself from having
voted for someone whom the people
dislike is to stay away from them this
time"

Prevents Competition.
VOLUME T..

The following article taken from
a recent issue of the Assumption
Pioneer, shows that very little can
be expected in the way of reduced
freight rates by a return of the
steamboat. Says the Pioneer:
"There is considerable talk among
the business men of the city about
steamboats, so as to reduce the exces-
sive railroad freight rates which now
prevail. But, the solution of high
freight rates cannot be reached
through water transportation, no
matter how perfect such plan may
be, because, the rates for water and
rail transportation are fixed by the
Railroad Commission, and they must
be the same.
owe are Informed that a steamboat
line was already operating between
points in this parish and New Or
leans through Bayou Lafourche and
canals. and that the rates were much
lower than those charged by the rail-
road and an old established fiat boat
line On complaint made to the
State Railroad Commission the new
boat line was compelled to fix its
rates the same as those of the es-
taDllSned companies.
"We all realize that one of the big
best deterrents to business today are
the excessive freight rates, and it
seems hard that when some one
comes forward with plan to reduce
the cost the Railroad Commission
steps in under it's rules and regula-
tions and says it must not be. 1t
will be remembered that few
months ago when the Telephone
Company asked for an increase in
rates, at time when everything was
being reduced in price, the, same
gave its consent to the increase, and
only after a protest voiced by the
entire state, did it consent to allow
rehearing in the telephone case.
The Railroad Commission is COM
posed Of three members elected by
the people, and under their sworn
commission they are required to rep
resent the people and to prevent
any public service corporation taking
unfair advantage of the public. The
commission is creature of the peo-
pie, and all its powers are derived
directly from them, yet, it has been
our sad experience, that instead of
being a benefit and an advantage
the commission has been an obstacle
instead of being a peoples commits
sion as it was intended that it should
be, it is just the reverse.
IAN attempt was made to change
the system so as to make it more
responsible to the public, but all that
could be done in the Constitutional
Convention was to change the name

"A TIcK-FIGHTING INcIDEN&"
Which Shows that Dipping is Not OPP
posed by All Cattle Owners.

The following editorial appeared in
recent issue of the Times-Picayune:
"Dynamiting Of cattle dipping watts
Louisiana and Mississippi. OPP
ponents Of cattle dipping point with
pride to the delays caused by this
vandalism as supporting their claim
! that tick eradication is one Of those
| things which just can't be DONE
Another Of their favorite arguments
is that the cattle dipping regulation
| infringes upon personal liberty'-a
contention unsound and untenable
| which, at it's best, comedies the right
of others to dip their cattle if they
see fit.
From a Bogalusa newspaper we
| summarize the following report of a
| recent vat dynamiting exploit in
Washington parish. It appears that
the parish has been placed under fed
eral quarantine for 'non-dipping.'
Some of the stock owners who believe
in tick eradication and who had "a
large amount of stock on their hands
which they could not dispose of ow-
ing to the quarantine petitioned the
police jury to- create a special dis
trict where dipping might be done
in accordance with the requirements
of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board The state board approved
the plan and the police jury granted
the petition. The citizens it is re-
lated, repaired all of the vats in
this district at their own expense
and organized a committee of their
own to supervise the, project. Dip
ping has been carried on under this
plan,' our Bogalusa contemporary
notes, with little friction
Nevertheless somebody objected,
! and two of the watts were blown up
few nights ago. The citizens COM
| mittee was promptly notified, Bob
Gant's bloodhounds were sent for
and placed on the trail, and two ar
| rests resulted.
I'm this case, if the published YER
sion be correct, the dynamiters vio-
lated the very principles of personal
| liberty which the 'anti-dippers' have
| so often invoked against cattle Dip
| ping. Here were stock owners who
had taken the trouble to organize
special district and had repaired the
watts at their own expense-only to
have their tick eradication project
blocked by the dynamite argument
the poorest and worst of all argu-
ments, futile in the long run but
costly in terms of delay, destned
property and discredit to the COM
munities affected. =

Watch Franklin.

Here is a parish that is settling
down to genuine work to eradicate
ticks. Franklin can boast of sin
cere attempt to get rid of this pest.
In May A $50 dippings Of cattle took
place which if continued through
out this season is going to mean just
one thing, success. The parish is
bound to be free Of further infection.
Franklin citizens realize this is their
work and they are not shirking their
duty. You have started on the right
road SO don't turn back. The ticks
are the Weevils Of the cattle crop and
have no place on well governed
farm.

NEW INDUSTRY IN ASCENSION.
Hammond Men Establish Veneer
Plant Near Hope Villa.

A number of business men of Ham,
mond have formed corporation for
the establishment and operation of
veneer plant. The company is
capitalized at $4,000 and the fac
tory will be located at Bullion sta
ton, on The L.. R. and N. Company's
road, near Hope Villa. There is said
to be an immense quantity of tim
Der available for the manufacture of
veneer in that section.
The Louisiana Sun, published at
Hammond, a recent issue, had the
following B say of the venture:
u "a $4G000 company has been
formed here by Hammond men for
the manufacture Of commercial
veneers from Louisiana timber. The
incorporators are Charles Lohmann,
former superintendent of the Ham,
mond Box and Veneer Company;
Charles r.. Norman, former proprie-
tor of the Imperial Cafe, and others.
The name Of the new company is the
Hope Veneer Company, and it's post
Office address will be Hope Villa, AS
cension parish. The mill will be To-
Gated at Bullion, in the same parish,
on the Louisiana Railway and Naviga-
tion Company road. The site is about
seventeen miles below Baton Rouge.
The timber to be cut consists Of
about 4O,Q00,00O feet of magnolia.
beech, gulA, poplar, etc. It is said
to be very large and fine and well
suited forf the manufacture of fine
veneers. Charles Lohman, whose
years of gage experience has made
him ever feady with jest, in com
menting oil the name of the new con-
cern, said Ms hackers hoped to make
plenty Of bullion, as it had good
name, good site and plenty of good
timber
The inEorporators, some of whose
names areEInot given out at present,
are all tossbe active workers in the
plant wheN it is ready for operation.
Mr.. Norman and Mr.. Lohmann will
be continually at the plant as will be
all the Others. Modern machinery
is now beng purchased and will be
installed arapidly as possible. There
is a great demand for high grade
veneers iM the market at all times
for the manufacture Of furniture,
cabinets, Qesks and many other ar
ticles. M Lohmann has resigned
his positiqM as superintendent Of the
