Catholic Church Notes

Father Hyland delivered splendid
sermon at ST. Landry's church Wed
nesday at 1870 p. m. He had pro-
posed to speak on the subject of di-
vorce but since this subject is going
to be treated at the mission he con-
tinued his sermon of two weeks pre-
vious, Marriage and the Christian
Family"
Father Hyland dwelt on the sane
tity of the home He said it was i
scred place and that we learn from
our catechism it is sacrilege to pro-
fame a sacred place, consequently 1t
it to profane the home. He said the
home was composed of the husband,
wife and love, and that love was born
in heaven, came to live on earth and
would return to heaven. However,
he gave his listeners to understand
that finally natural love would crum-
bic.
Father Hyland expressed the fac;
that the husband was the foundation

Says Income Tax Is Not
To Pass Convention

The State-Times has received the
following letter from Gilbert L, Du-
pre-, OF Opelousas, member Of the
constitutional convention from St.
Landry parish.
You certainly hit the nail ION the
head in your editorial Of yesterday
headlined Convention mad the Income

The taxpayers Of the state agree
with you that taxation has reached
the limit, and that not the slightest
necessity exists for an income tax.

editorial that l mailed it to our local
paper for reproduction.
And | want to state that so far as
l am able to observe, the convention
is not going to increase the rate OF
taxation, nor will it recommended the
adoption of an income tax. Rather,

that it is not the state and parish
taxes which burden us, but it is the
self-imposed taxes which the taxpay-
ers have voted in aid of public
schools, good roads, etc, etc. When
the farmers were in clover, they voted
taxes for everything in sight, but now

they are not able to meet the self-im-

Of the home. He pointed out the evil
of the over-serious father and hu5-
band who looked only to big" things
and did not deem it worth while to
caress his wife or enjoy the intimacy
OF his little ones. He compared the
wife to the sunshine, for the wife
gives light and warmth to the home.
Father Hyland did not fail to bring
in the subject OF Catholic education,
pointing out the well-known fact that
so many parents send their children
to the Catholic schools until they
make their first communion, and
then trust to other schools for further
education.
Father Hyland's sermon equallsd II

weeks ago and the Catholic congre-
CATION enjoyed to say the least a
splendid oratorical treat in securing
his services for the night

weeks mission preached by Father
Rousseau and Father Foulkes win be-
gin Sunday, March Is, at the $3.50

missionaries will be wide and varied

but to people of all religious denomi-
nations or of no denominations, who

giving the program of the mission,
along with a prayer, were distributed
in church last Sunday.

Mr.. Wolff. l also. in my humble way,
tried 10 impress the commission that
il mattered not which way the case
may be decided this information would
be necessary in the case.
Now in the face of all this, Com
missioner Taylor ruled that the case
would have to go to trial. so the only
thing we could do was to put up the
best fight possible.
Mr.. VOLTS testimony in the case
went interchangeable seemed that they
did not care to awake the sleeping
lion
There was sworn evidence before
the commission showing a big decline
in lumber, poles, wire. lead, copper
wire. cables. cross arms and labor,
and in fact all constructing material
was much cheaper than it was six
months ago at the time the telephone
company made up their figures ana
which they based their claim.
After all Of these statements were
presented to the commission, the ques-
ton came up for argument.
Mr.. Ivy Kittredge Of New Orleans,
appearing against the advance in rates
made one of the most earnest pleas
in behalf Of the people of this state,
explaining plainly why this advance
should not be allowed. stating that in
his opinion, it was not legal but d.
recgly against the wishes of the mass
es of the people.
In the face Of these earnest plead
ings the commission has, by their rul-
ing. raised the telephone rates to
about 100000 more per year than the
people are paying now.
Now. knowing what took place al
the way through these meetings, | am
forced to refer to Commissioner
Longs statement wherein among 9th
er things he says that he had been ap-
preached by a relative in the service
Of the telephone company on behalf
Of the proposed raise in rates and dur
ing the course of the conversation, it
was suggested that he could obtain
lucrative legal work with the com
pany which would entail no labor on
his part; of course Mr.. Long indig-
! nantly repudiated the suggestion; it

We can hardly agree with all the
above from the Country Gentleman,
but that the spread of prices from pro-
dncer to consumer is too great none
can dispute. We cant tell where the
trouble all is, but that the producer is GER
tainly getting too little Of the consuG-
er's cost for most articles of raw
material can notte disputedor doubted.
A farmer told US few days ago Of
shipping six sheep skirs and a COW hide
to Louisville, and getting back check
for 20 cents for the seven hides. The
hide dealer fixed q price Of less than 81
for the seven hides and paid the express
cut Of this, leaving The grower only 70
cents for the seven hides. And yet the
one COW hide made. into shoes will cost
the same farmer s25 or $50. The spread
of prices between grower and consum-
er is certainly too great.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DARK

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DARK
Farm produce this year has brought
very low returns to the farmer, yet
consumers have paid stiff prices for al
vegetables. Last spring when scrubby
little cabtages wers selling in the cities
for ten to fifteen cents a head, the
farmers in New York State, unable to
sell them at any price, were blowing
under hundreds of tons of Cabbages
Neither farmer nor consumer can IN.
derstand why such conditions exists.
Last year LEMONS sold all along the
Eastern seaboard at from. twelve to
twenty cents q dozen. This year during
July and August the price was from
fifty to seventy-five cents, sometimes
higher. Last year we were told the
low price: was due to the importation
Of Sicilian lemons. This year no ex'
plantations have been offered except the
hot weather. Yet California growers
declare they have not received enough
for their lemons to cover expenses.
Are high freight rates the reason Tor
the spresdi The railroads declare not.
They cite the shipment Of carload
Of lettuce from California to New York.
Its total cost including the price paid
the grower. the freight and all other
charges, amounted to $ll5s. The re-
tail selling price was s4S2o. The same
report states that spinach, for which
Texas growers received five dollars a
ton last April, sold in retail in Chicago
at the rate Of $500 ton.
Retailers declare they are not pro-
fiteering; wholesalers and jobbers tel
stories OF ltsses; the railroads insist
they are not to blame. None OF these
denials or explanations clears away
the nysters; both farmers and con-
sumers feel outraged, They want to
know what happens in the, dark and how
II happens.
Not only did they want to know. hut
they are going to find out in the nnsr
future. The newly reorganized Bureau
