O. G. THOMAS FILES ORDINANCE

If an ordinance which has been in
PRODUCED at the Constitutional Conven-
ton by delegate 0. G. Thomas Of this
parish is adopted, holders of product
i've gas and oil leases will have to pay
the taxes on the land from which
these products are taken. This 0rdl-
nance was introduced on Monday
night and will have the effect Of shift
ing the tax burden from the land
owners and placing it upon the owners
of the producing oil and gas leases.
At present the leases are not taxed,
and the owners Of the land on which
producing wells are located are re-
quired to pay taxes on basis OF pro-
duction. This is unjust and the load
should be placed where 1t belongs.

IN PRINCIPLE AND SPIRIT

According to press dispatches, the
representatives of Great Britain,
France, Japan and Italy at the dis
armament conference have announc-
ed that their respective governments
accept in principle and spirit the
plan suggested by the United States
for the limitation of naval arma-
ments.
This is good news, especially the
fact that these great powers accept
the spirit of the proposition. They
might accept the principle of the
plan, but unless they also endorse the
spirit which prompted it, there would
be little hope that anything worth
while would be accomplished.
When individuals or governments
can agree on the principle and spirit
of proposition they certainly ought
to be able to reach an agreement on
the details.
The United States has offered a
concrete plan for the limitation of
naval ornaments and for the estab-
lishment of ten years intermission
in the race for naval supremacy. This
Is good start in the right direction,
and ten years will afford ample op-
portunity to try out the plan and
demonstrate its merits.
The great danger is that one or
more of the delegations participating
in the conference may approve the
principle, but, for selfish reasons.
may block the application of the prin-
eiple, by raising objections to the
specific details which must be worked
out to insure its operation.
If the delegates really desire above
everything else to bring about linn
itation of ornaments they can easily
get together on the details of the
plan. If they desire above every
thing else to gain some selfish ad-
vantage for the government which
they represent in the formulation OF
the plan then 1t will be very diff.
cult, II not impossible, for the con.
Terence to accomplish anything.
The success of the conference viii

LET Us GIVE THANKS

Next Thursday will be Thanks
giving day and the people OF this
community have abundant reasons
for being thankful when they com
pare their condition with that of the
residents of other lands and even OF
other sections of the United States.
The first and greatest cause for
thanksgiving is that there seems to
be a good prospect that the repre-
sentatives of the great nations of the
world, now assembled at Washington
will succeed in agreeing upon a plan
for the limitation of naval arma-
ments which will go a long way to-
ward preventing war and will lift
a heavy burden from the shoulders
of the taxpayers
While the low price of wheat has
resulted in a scarcity of money
among the farmers and financial
stress for everybody, yet business
conditions in this section are much
better than in almost any other part
of the United States and incompara-
bly, better than in any European
country BY close economy and
careful planning the great bulk of
the farmers and business men will
pull through the period of financial
stress There is not going to be a
repetition of the conditions of 1898,
nor anything like them. Then the
panic came like a thunderbolt out
of the clear sky and no one had time
TO prepare for it. Now for more
than a year people have been read
justing themselves to existing condi-
lions and cutting down their expendi-
lures to meet their reduced incomes.
People are not going to starve
nor freeze in the Palouse country, as
will hundreds of thousands in less
favored foreign lands.
The war has left a heavy burden
of debt and taxes, but our most pre-
cious possessions, our sons, have
been restored to us
The weather has been favorable
for next years crops and there has
been no general recurrence of the
influenza epidemic which for two
years took such a heavy toll of life.
The Pilgrim fathers, in the midst
OF dangers and hardships which we
cannot even appreciate, felt impelled
to establish Thanksgiving day as an
expression of their gratitude because
the sterile New England soil had
produced crops sufficient to meet
their needs and because their little
colony had escaped being ravaged by
disease. How much more cause have
we to return thanks for the safety
comforts and many blessings which
we enjoy.
Let us then join heartily in the
celebration of Thanksgiving next
Thursday and see to it that every
family in this community has cause
TO be thankful.

GOOD BUSINESS

Why the fight on farmers for
their proposal to comparatively mar
ket their own grain?
Didn't the farmers grow their
grain, Isn't it their grain? Since
they produced it, isn't it their right
to sell it to whom they please, or
sell it in any way they please or give
it away, or not sell it at all if they
see fit?
DO not all others in this country
who produce anything sell it where
or how or when or to whomever
they will? Is there any rule in this
country which says the farmer must
sell his products as other folks direct,
but that all other groups may sell
their products without interference
or direction from others?
The attack on the farmers en-
deavor to comparatively market their
own grain is by the American grain
dealers, in session at Chicago Not
all of the grain men joined in the
wordy fusilade. Some even defend
ed the cooperative movement
There is no better argument for
the farmers movement than the OPP
position of those who fight it. The
opposition is purely selfish and per-
sonal 1t has nothing to do with the
general prosperity of America. 1t is
founded solely on the personal pros
perity of the opposing grain buyers.
They want profits out of the grain
business.
They feel that those profits are
imperiled by the plan of the farm
ers TO so feed their grain to the
trade that the market will not be
shot to pieces. The price depressed
by the overwhelming offerings of
grain and disarrangement of the law
of supply and demand is the specu-
lator's paradise. 1t is the wheat
gamblers opportunity. He buys low,
the market RECEIVERS. and he sells
high. That is the sole reason why
certain grain dealers at the Chicago
meeting made their onslaught against
the cooperative movement.
The chief trouble with agriculture
is its selling end. There hasn't been
enough good business in the market
ing. Working y to 16 hours day
in the effort to get along, the farm
er hasn't had time to think much or
study much about the business end
of the game.
The Chicago board of trade and
the big spectators have been doing
that for him. And city folks keep
on saying that he ought to sell his
wheat when it is harvested and not
speculate. They never intended if
so, but the effect of their thought is
let the grain gamblers get the prof
it to be made from buying wheat at
depressed prices and selling at high
prices"
Cooperative marketing is the APP
pllcation of business principles to
the biggest industry in the United
states. If the farmers stick to it.
they Will revolutionize agriculture in
America and increase prosperity in
