BOAGNI TO ENJON
The CITY COUNCIL
PROPERTY OWNER WILL TAKE
LEGAL MEANS TO STOP Paw
ING AND SIDEWALKS

E. NJ. Boagni, prominent Opelou-
sean, stated last week that he had en-
ployed legal counsel in the person eli
E. 3. Dubuisson and D. L. Guilbeau,
and would apply for an Injunction re-
straining the city council from letting
out the contract for the travelling
of Railroad avenue and the laying OF
cement sidewalks on that street as
well as West Grolee street from its
intersection with Railroad avenue.
Mr.. Boagni states that his objection
to the proposed work is based on the
fact that large part of the cost will
fall on him in that he will be forced to
pay for a sidewalk en- the east side OF
Railroad avenue for two blocks, and
sidewalk on West Grolee for more
than two blocks, as wen as his share
of the crawling OF the avenue, or
two and one-half or more blocks, and
on part of that distance the entire
cost will fall on him.
Discussing the matter at length, he
said that he wanted the avenue gra-
yelled and that he was willing to see
sidewalks laid on Grolee provided
this latter work was equalized as TO
cost. According to his views, the
council should have had sidewalks
constructed on the south side of Gro
lee up to the T. & P. tracks and then
cross to the north side. This, he SAID
would have placed part Of the ex-
pense on the Southern Pacific and
part on the compress company, the
balance on mis- property. If, how
ever. the walk is built, as planned by
the council, his share of the expense
would be seven thousand dollars for
that item alone. To this he objects
and will fight the case in the courts.

Dyndstac America.

Henry H. Klein, first deputy COM
missioner of accounts of the city of
New York, has just completed most
valuable reference book under the til
tie, "Dynastic America and Those
Who Own 1t. i.
He tells the public what the public
ought to realize more seriously than
it, does, that America not only has
the most powerful private fortunes
or dynasties in the world but that
these fortunes are now for the most
part in the hands of the third, fourth
and fifth generations.
why not limit what these individ-
uals can have, asks Mr.. Klein, and
stimulate worthy ambition?
He lists number Of big estates
which have been inherited in the pres
ent generation, totaling seven billion
dollars, and gives detailed figures for
each large estate, showing it's amount
who inherited it and how it has been
invested. A later section of the book
shows how these great estates are re-
lated to the monopolies in all our es-
sential commodities.
If Klein has done his work we'll, and
there is every reason to think he has,
we are struggling under monopoly
prices to keep select group of golden
spoon people wealthy beyond magma
ton.
Not enough is heard in this county
about bigger inheritance taxes. It is
really bad for the heir as we'll as for
the public that any youth should in
herit more than, say 100000, or that
any one should have more than that
amount each year of unearned income.

Showing up the Court.

The election contest against Colonel
Leach who was recently elected mayor
of Minneapolis over the workers can
didate, Thos. Van Lear, is absolutely
the best eye-opener of the season.
Colonel Leach repeated the lie told by
a,former rotten mayor of Superior,
Wis, that Van Lear in speech in
Superior during the war had referred
to the American flag as "a dirty rag"
1t seems that most anybody who has
bit of brains would know this to be
lie. No man could have spoken to a
large audience in Superior or anywhere
else during the war and called the flag
dirty rag without being mobbed.
Reporters of the Superior and Duluth
newspapers, 100 per cent dailies, were
present at Van Lear's speech in
Superior, but they made no mention of
any such statement at the time, nor
have they since until now, five years
later. 1t is therefore as plain as any,
thing can be that it was lie pure and
simple
And Colonel Leach ought also to
have that much brains that he would
know it was a lie. But whether he
knew. itaor not, he is guilty of having
repeated the lie, which of course cost
Van Lear thousands and thousands of
votes and caused Leach to win the
election as there are still many, many
people who believe the impossible.
They don't stop to think. They Just
believe outrageous things because they
are peddled by supposedly respectable
people like Colonel Leach.
5Thething we like about this contest,
however, is that it will force the state
supreme court to reverse itself. Last
year, the state supreme court disquali-
fed Rev. o. J. Kvale because he had
said: If Volstead is an atheist, as I
understand he is" etc. People who
hayeknown Volstead have said that he
is an atheist. But Volstead became
very religious all of a sudden when he
hauled Rev. Kvale into court and the
state supreme court decided that
KYaie's thousands of votes majority
were no good as long as he had referred
TO- his opponent as an ATHEIST" and
indirectly gave the nomination to the
losing candidate. Now Leach said in
the, campaign that Van Lear called the
flag "a dirty rag" much more serious
charge; from public standpoint than
the one Kvale made against Volstead.
Now watch the supreme court. 1t
wilifmake some difference whose OK is
gored.
