THE AUTO IS THE GOAT.

When certain well meaning
people discuss means for aug
menting the federal revenue,
they suggest adding another tax
lon the automobile.
They 60 on the theory that if
la man has money enough to
own a car, he can afford to pay
Ian additional tax for the pleas
lure Of its use apparently giving
no thought to the fact that the
car owner is already paying
heavily for that privilege.
When the tax assessor comes
around, he lists q mans auto
mobile as part Of his property,
upon which taxes are paid.
He pays an annual license fee

which he lives. II is true, how
ever, that in some Of the smaller
towns no city license is required.
He pays an excessive price for

adds a cent to the price of gas.

WOMEN'S BILLS.

Club women of Louisiana
stand behind the bills intro
duced by Senator Delos r. john

lature which amend the Civil
Code SO as to admit louisiana
women to full civil and politi-
cal rights was the statement
issued by Mrs. A. +. Storm,
State President Louisiana Fed
Grafton Woman's Clubs today.
Articles twenty-four and
twenty-five as they now stand
on our Revised Civil Code are
obsolete and contrary to fact in
view of the position which the
women of Louisiana as citizens
now OCCUPY. The new consti-
tuition recognizes change in
the status Of women and seeks
10 remedy certain discrimina-
tons. Articles twenty-four and
twenty-five remaining on the
statute books tend TO impose
restrictions upon the women
contrary to the new spirit of
the constitution and the time.
Favorable indications point to
prompt re-enactment of these
classes"

At least such was the story told by
Alaynm to Floyd ID. Olson. county at

recommendation of probation that he
might once more rally his tribesmen
and seek with them to regain the her
ituge of his fathers.
Ten years ago Alayam, according to
the story he told Mr.. Olson, became
the king Of his tribe In Armenia upon
the death of his father, Abu Alayam.
Abu had been strong ruler. He
had amassed lands and fortune. Dur
Ing his lifetime he had held ut bay

who had sought to despoil his lands.
Upon his death the Turks came.

strength by force. For money they
promised to release the farms Of his
fathers. so. gathering about fifty Of
his young men, Alayam came to Amer

for various occupations. A 1.-THE of
their wages they gave to Alayam, who
boarded the money that he might 70

Turks.
Almost enough money was raised to
accomplish, the purpose when the
world war came. Upon the heels of

ravishing Of Armenia by the Turks.

dream Of going back to his kingdom.
The money saved for that purpose he
sent overseas. contribution to the
Armenian relief funds. Many of his
colonists returned to enlist as soldiers

Still the o who remained continued

The end of the var was also the and

his colonists had gone back to Armc-
MIA that the contributions of the re-
manning were scarcely enough TO af-
ford their chleftnin living. Desper-

fatherland might never be realized.
Alayam began to gamble, seeking, he
told Mr.. Olson, to multiply the tithes
OF his colonlsts into the fortune he
needed.
But instead Of winning Alayam lost.
With money gone he gave worthless
check for $50 for last stack OF cbips
and those, too. were lost. Alayam was
arrested.
In his plea to the county ATTORNEY
Alayam begged for recommendation
of probation. lie could call his follow
