6. O.P. SEEKS TO
CUT EXPENSES
Republican Committmen
Agree on Important Fea-
ture of Revenue Bill.

Washington.-Rep or reduction
of some of the miscellaneous taxes was
agreed upon tentatively Monday by re-
publican members of the house ways
and means committee
Agitation for elimination Of the
sporting goods tax as a means of re-
ducing the price on these articles for
the boys of the country caused the
committee to approve cutting the tax
In half. 1t was decided to make the
tax per cent instead of 10 per cent.
The tax applies on tennis racquels.
baseball goods, athletic shoes and uni
forms, golf goods, fishing tackle, bill
lard and pool tables and all similar
articles sold by manufacturers, pro-
ducers or importers.
Soda Water Tax Repeal.
The committee approved the repeal
Of the soda water tax as recommended
by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
This Is the tax of one cent for each
10 cents of the amount paid for soda
water and ice cream at soda fountains
or ice cream parlors. The tax has
Yielded $25 100000, but it is held by
the treasury to be too difficult to en-
force and too much of a nuisance to all
concerned to be worth retaining.
Repeal of some of the luxury taxes
on clothing also was approved, The
items cut out include the 10 per cent
tax on the cost of women's hats in ex-
cess of SIS, mems and boys hats in ex-
cess of IS, mems and boys caps in ex-
cess of 81, shoes for men and women
In excess Of $40 per pair, mems and
boys neckwear in excess of 81, mems
and bows silk hose in excess of 81 per
pair, women's silk hose in excess o.
81 per pair, mems shirts IN excess OF
50 each, pajamas in excess of IS, XII
monos in excess of SIS, smoking coats
in excess of $3.50 and mems waist
coats in excess of IS.
Taxes Retained.
Although Secretary Mellon recon-
mended the repeal Of the entire sec
ton 904 containing luxury taxes the
committee decided to retain the taxes
on carpets and rugs, picture frames,
trunks, valises, purses, portable light
ing fixtures, umbrellas and fans. The
section applying to carpets and rugs
was amended by striking out pro-
viso now in the law exempting i'm
ported and American rugs made princi-
pally OF wool 1t is estimated that the
elimination of this exemption will
partly make up for the repeal of some
of the other luxury taxes.

There Are Other New Iberia Peo-

Can there be any stronger
proof offered than the evidence OF
New Iberia residents? After you
have read the following, quietly
answer the question.
Amedee Viator. SO2 Iberia ST.,
New iberia, says: AT times my
work requires a great deal OF
lifting and | have no doubt that
this caused my kidney trouble. |
suffered with severe pains across
the small of my back and every
time I attempted to lift anything
or was on my feet any length OF
time, my back began to ache and
it felt as if a heavy weight was
tied to my hips. Ny lower limbs
were stiff and lame and it hurt
me every step 4 took. I tired
quickly and at times I was ner-
vous. / often had dizzy spells
and headaches and my sight
blurred. NV kidneys acted irreg-
ularly. too, and / was in constant
misery. / got box Of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Taylor's Drug
Store and they brought me quick
relief. Three boxes cused me en-
! tirelv of the trouble and 4 haven t
been bothered in this way since.

YOU'RE PROBABLY PAYING
RRNT

to some one who a few years ago
started small savings account
in an institution like this.
He had the same chance you
have-but he took advantage of
it.
Now he gets your dolfars-you
get his receipts.
Why not yourself be . land
lord? Why not see that in the
future you'll have something
coming in each month instead of
something going out?
Isn't that plain common sense?
Rents are scarce and high. Your
monthly receipt is an expensive
piece of paper.
Think! Are you going to work
all your life to benefit somebody
else?
Get out of the rut. Save all
you can and regularly. Have
home of your own to look for
ward to.
Your money here will be work
ing for you day and night, earn

The Police Jury he'd its reg
ular meeting on Thursday last
with a full attendance of the
members on hand. One Of the
matters adjusted was the call for
bids for the sale Of the road
bonds in Road Districts Nos. One,
Three, Five and Eight for the
building of the gravel roads IN
those particular wards. The bids
will be opened on March 10Th
and if a sale is made then they
will get things in shape and adj
vertise for the work itself. NJ.
Harrison Derouen was appointed
a member of the Petite Anse Co.
teau Drainage District to sit with
the other members Of the board,
namely, Messrs. Marcel Derouen,
Joe Norris. Arthur Leblanc, Mr..
Sidney Norris acting as secretary.
It will be remembered the cont
munity which the proposed canal
is supposed to benefit voted some
$4,000 to be utilized to perfect a
drainage system. Another mat
ter that was taken up was that OF
calling attention of the Board OF
equalization to the decrease In
land values so as to have the
taxes reduced when the Parish
Board of Equalizers composed OF
Messrs. A. Daigre, Damas Moresi
and M. Derouen meet in the
month Of May to make the as
sessment in accordance with real
values was introduced by Mr.
Leon Landry and seconded by
Mr. o. Leleu. This assessment
question is one Of the most I'M
portant confronting the taxpay
ers of the Parish at this time
During the short wave of pros
perity the State Board of EQUAL
cation placed most Of the lands
Of liberia on the basis of as mucf
as $3.50 an acre and collected
taxes accordingly. This ha'
| worked quite a hardship on ou1
farmers and there are many VIII,
are not in position to pay taxes
on such an assessment. W.
trust the State Board will COM
TO their senses in this matter an'
make the assessment. in accord
ance with what land is now sellin!
| for. irrespective Of the needs o
the State.

At the meeting of the New
Iberia Chamber of Commerce
among the things discussed was
the fact that there are a number
Of streets in New Iberia where
the residents do not enjoy free
delivery Of their mails. The
question was brought up by Mr..
John R. Taylor and it was re-
solved that a letter be sent to the
Post Office Department asking
for new routing which would
include a number Of avenues
where the postal carriers do not
frequent. These people are COM
PEELED to call at the Post Office
for their mail matter when they
are entitled to the same free dis
tribution that others in New he
ria are enjoying. Now that We
have frst-class paved sidewalks
on nearly every street in New
iberia the postal authorities
should put everybody on the same
basis and bring the mail to their
door. OF course it will be neces-
sary to put on another mail car
rier, but New iberia is entitled to
it and we trust the communlca-
ton addressed to them will re
ceive full consideration. This
also led to the discussion of the
New iberia Post Office closing its
doors at nine P. NJ. every night
mountaineering MANY business
men in the mailing Of night let
ters. A letter was also forwarded
- the authorities calling theil
attention to it.

We were the recipient this
week through Mr.. Friend c.
Ouereau of several pounds OF
Delitus rice raised on his
plantation west of New iberia.
The seed was imported by the
Government from France a num-
Der of years ago and it is said to
be the best favored rice ever
crown. From what we learn 1t
produces prolifcly and Mr.. Que
reau who is an expert on the cul-
tire of rice thinks it better
adapted to Louisiana soils and
more profitable to the farmers
than anv Of the other brands ow-
ing to its exquisite flavor. Mr.
Ouereau was for several years
the assistant director at the Rice
Experimental Station at Baton
Rouge and resigned this I'M
portant position during the month
Of February. 1918. In bulletin
furnished bv the Agricultural
Station at lFaton Rouge durlne

"mIKADO" COMING TO THE
ELK THEATRE.

The Daily Oklahoman, at Okla
bona City has the following to
say of Ralph Dunbar's opera
THE Mikado" which comes to
the Elks Theatre, Wednesday,
February 10th:
THAT classic fun maker, The
Mikado," was played Wednes-
day night at the opening Of the
New Orpheum Theatre to a
crowded and delighted house.
Ralph Dunbar's company scored
here last year with Robin
Hood" but his Mikado" COM
pany is a superior organization.
Light opera at its very best
was presented to Oklahoma City
in this production and. if this is
a criterion of the kind of shows
to be given at the Orpheum this
city is in for a new era of enter
tainment.
Costumes. scenery. stage pic
lures, light effects, first class
principals and chorus and splen-
did teamwork throughout made
for one of the most thoroughly
enjoyable performances eve r
shown here. The comedy comes
too thick and fast in The Mi
kado' for sustained applause;
but the audience took every op-
portunity to show its apprecia:
ton, It is all-star company and
the teamwork is so good that 1t
is not possible to say that one
actor or actress overshadowod
the performance"
