For reasons best known to them selves, they seem to fear assassina- tion. and are making provisions for their wives by sending them abroad with the family jewels, and other such forms of wealth as were left behind by the former rulers of Rus sia and thus passed as heirlooms to their successors.
 Certainly it will not be with Bol- shevik rubles that Madame Trotsky will be able to support herself in any country west of Warsaw, and cut a figure in a world that would befit the wife of the ruler of all the Rus sias. In France there is reason to believe that the incognito of the ladies. should they ever travel so far, will need to be strictly observed.

TAXPAYER Seeks Information About
Town Affairs.
Colfax, La, March z, 1921.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
Allow me space in your paper to pro-
pound a few questions to our town
council in behalf of we taxpayers.
The old council, which recently re-
tired, was bad enough, and we hoped
when the newly elected council took
charge of our affairs We would have
some Improvement, but we have been
sadly disappointed.
By what manner of management mas
our council piled up debt on US OF
two thousand dollars within six months
of their ADMINISTRATION?
What has been done with our money
collected from taxes, fines, street tax
and licenses?
Why has not the proceedings of our
council been published as the law de-
mands? either by posters in public
places or by newspaper publication!
Was it ignorance of the law, or was 1T
in defiance of the law? In either case
it shows incompetency, and the public
would prefer their resignations to their
regulations. Had the law been COM
piled with these questions would be
unnecessary. We have no knowledge
of their proceedings from October to
January. We are entitled to this in
formation on demand and we intend to
have it, even if we have to resort to
the courts for our rights.
The light plant seems to be an in
cubus' on our financial affairs. We
are paying 2-mill tax on the purchase
price and yet we are receiving no bene-
fit from our money. If the council
cannot operate the plant without loss,
let the citizens call mass meeting
and formulate plan to operate it on a
reduced scale of expense, and probably
il can be made self-sustaining orpay-
ing investment. Let US have quar-
terly report of its operations. AS the
plant is operated at present, we would
save money by making it a present to
some village. Perhaps if the council
would agree to pay the freight they
might persuade Aloha to accept it.
We have several hundred autos filled
with people from the near by town:
weekly, and we should put our house
In order. There is more stencil ant
filth in some parts Of our town to thu
square yard, than there is in the Alex
andria garbage dump. Stencil i ant
filth under hot southern sun are no
very enticing advertisements for hom'
seekers.
Is it not fact that the town hal
and lot are being used for a hog pas
ture? Was this property a donation
from the Standard Oil people, or wa
1t paid for with the money of the tax
payers? In either case. we should pu
tito better use than a pigsty or no.
pasture. Our worthy mayor and hi
fine looking councilmen should hav
more self respect than to hold thei
meetings in hog pen.
If we are to judge the temper of on
citizens by their complaints heard dali
on the>streets such secret star-cham
Der meetings nor autoracy will be to-
Grated in this town.
Gentlemen of the town council, clea
up! Commence by cleaning your ow
official stable, then demand all of GU
citizens to go do likewise.
