mittee Finds New Capital
Is Greatest Need.

Ten legislative proposals designed
to relieve the housing shortage
throughout the United States are set
forth in the final report of the Sem
ate committee on reconstruction.
made public here. The chief neces-
sity is that of providing new capital
for home construction, the commit
tee found, and several of the ten
bills suggested. it added. would re-
comes derived therefrom of federal
taxation, in whole or in part.
The report, signed by Senators
Calder. chairman. New York; Edge,
New Jersey. and Kenyon, Iowa. all
republicans, repeats the conclusion
that there now exists a shortage of
100000 homes in the United States,
and that $4,000. 100000 in investment
for dwellings, street and steam rail-
roads and public utilities will be the
least amount required for construc-
tion and financing if the vacancy in
national assets is to be filled.
Besides the relief from taxation.
the committee proposes passage of
the SdIueI OIii loI super
vision and publicity in the coal in
dustry. new Commerce Department
bureau for aiding construction. loans
for home construction through A fed
eral system. and increases Of the
present limit upon individual de-
posits in postal savings banks.
Criticising the coal industry for
high prices of 1920, which. it said.
amounted to national disgrace"
the committee asserted that powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to grant priority to commodities
in transportation should be limited
and proposed legislation for that
purpose Public utilities should also
be assured of adequate financing. the
report said. that home builders might

BOARD TO REVIEW
VOCATIONAL PAY
Training Allowances to Dis
abIed War Veterans Subject
! of Exhaustive Inquiry.

Vocational training allowances to
diabled war veterans are to be thor
oughly reviewed by the vocational
training board. Pending exhaustive
inquiry and study proposed, Secre-
tary Wallace of the Department of
Agriculture, a member of the board,
in. a statement last night indicated
mum of $4,000 annually on payments
would stand. This ruling is now un-
der fire.
Secretary Wallnce's Statement.
THE new members of the board"
said the statement by Secretary Wal
lace. which it was understood had the
approval of Secretary Hoover of the
Department of Commerce, another
board member, "have the feeling that
the whole basis of vocational train
ing allowances requires exhaustive
inquiry and study in the interest both
of the men and the public treasury.
'It is the expectation of the mem
bers of the board that the study of
the whole matter will require some
little time. Pending a thorough in
board have not expressed an opinion
on the matter now being agitated.
The attitude of the entire board is
one of intense sympathy to the needs
of the men. and it is the wish of
every member that the money pro-
vided be disbursed in the fairest and
most helpful way possible.
Limitation Is Discussed.
The boards decision limiting voca-
tional allowances to $4,000, Secretary
Wallaces statement says, was made
during the preceding administration,
after careful study, it was presumed.
That there now are 71.147 men re-
ceiving vocational allowances as
against 46.S97 six months ago was
stated by Secretary Wallace.
The vocational board. Mr.. Wallace
stated. now is expending $150,000 5000
annually with the apparent GER
tainty that this sum will go into
$500 000. 900 in the next fiscal year"

New Iberia Motor Bus Line
to Extend to Lafayette as
Means Of Taking our Trade

The Lafayette Gazette on Dee,

New Iberia is wild with am.
lbition. seeming to have developed
a wonderful amount of pep and
enterprise in the last six months,
and there is no limit to her ambish
if we read Alright. In this week s
issue OF the New Iberia Enter
prise is a story regarding the
plans Of the Teche Transfer com
pany, now operating bus lines ont
Of New Iberia in several direc-
tions.
In this story it is related that a
hus line will be put in service be-
tween New liberia and Lafayette,
AS well as Loreauville and st.
Martinville. The Enterprise very
seriously urges these plans as a
means Of increasing the volume
of trade for New Iberia mer-
chants. 1t is suggested that it
would enable their merchants to
invade Lafayette territory and

of the State Department that Ibe-
ria will have full car at the
time the special train Of porkers
are ready'to be shipped out of the
State.
The. Pig Club movement in this
Parish should be encouraged in
every possible way on the part of
the parents of the children who
have consented to take up the
work. The farm boy or girl who
engages in the breeding of hogs
with practical lessons each month
furnished them by the State
should dsexperience no difficulty in
keeping, the swine healthy and
making a success of the business
the first year. On due course Of
time, and once these children
realize that its means extra money
for them they will become indie
pendent and successful farmers
and breeders of live stock.
There are SO many different
ways for our farmers and agri-
culturists to become independent
and not be dependent on one crop
as exist here at present. Practi-
cal diversifcation is the only real
salvation ,of any country. The
great mistake many farmers make
is to turn their lands solely into
cane and rice. The past year
should be used as an object les
son and real diversification fol-
lowed. A little cane, and rice
and plenty Of corn and live stock
such as pigs, horses. mules ana

pack off our trade to that town.
f. j. Fclght, general manager
Of the company, is quoted as ms-
king the promise that he will ex-
tend the line as far west as La
fayette, routing it via Loreauville
and st. Martinville, and furnish
service calculated to haul the
trade to New Iberia merchants
doors.
While there is no danger Of
Lafayette people going to New
Iberia to do their trading, any
more than they will go to Crow
ley Or Duson or Breaux Bridge
for that purpose, it displays
commercial spirit by New iberia,
the sort Of spirit that produces
results and is bound to make that
old town forge ahead and make
up some of her lost prestige. 1t
also emphasizes the difference be-
tween city with an Association
of Commerce and one without.

Several months ago we men
toned in The Enterprise the
movement launched in this Par.
ish under the supervision of Par
ish superintendent Of Education
Lloyd Porter to interest the pub.
lice school children in the breed
ing of pigs through Pig Club or
carnations. Before proceeding
with the formation Of Clubs, Mr..
Porter very wisely laid the mat
ter before the members of the
New Iberia Chamber Of Com
merce for the purpose of getting
their views and incidentally see
ing what could be done towards
offering as an inducement prize
to be given to the boy or girl, who
raised the best porker. The
Chamber in turn interested the
merchants and ways and means
were devised to distribute prizes
at some opportnne time. Each
Club being assured prize, Mr..
Porter experienced no trouble in
interesting the children in the
public schools and now eight
clubs are fully organized and the
breeding Of blooded swine on a
large scale is assured on the part
Of the pupils.
This work is to be conducted
under the supervision, in great
measure by rules mapped out by
The Louisiana State University Mt
Baton Rouge and every month
each member Of every club is sent
q lesson Of instructions. Each
lesson is divided under monthly
beading, in such 9 manner that
