is completely out of the railroad
business in the country, except for
its supervision through the agency
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The losses due to Govern
ment operations during and imne-
diately after the World War were a
tremendous item which had to be
met by the taxpayers. Also, the loss
in the Government shipping business
was enormous This loss still ex-
lists. but is very much lower than
heretofore.
Outlay for the Army
The Army alone will cost almost
as much for the year 1922 as the
normal expenses of the Government
the expenses of administration and
constructive work. The figure for
this latter business is placed roughly
at s450,000,000. While the support of
the Army in all of it's branches will
cost about s425. 1000, 900.
The Navy, due TO the agreement
between the powers of the world to
limit the size of naval armaments.
will cost considerably less than
the Army, but still in the neighbor-
hood of a third of billion dollars.
The heavy items of batttelship and
other naval construction are shorn
from the expense. but it remains
sufficiently heavy to cause a bit of
thinking.
The income the Government will
receive from scrapping battleships
will offset to some extent the naval
appropriation. Thousands and thou
sands of tons of the highest grade
steel an no little amount of brass viii
be retrieved from the ships which
are scrapped, and this metal
the value of the materials in very low
as compared to the cost of building
battleship, and the return on the
materials of the dismantled masters
of the sea may prove very disap-
pointing from that angle.
If the bonus bill becomes a law
the House already has passed it
Congress will have to turn its at
tention anew to the question of rails
ing funds The members of Congress
are faced with offending the strong
factions of ex- service men by re-
fusing to vote for a bonus payment
of some sort. on the one hand, and
the certain antipathy of the public
generally against levying greater
taxes on business and on individuals.
There have been so many conflict
ing estimates of how much the bonus
would cost the Government that it
is impossible to tell accurately what
the additional drain on Uncle Sans
pocketbook would amount to. Be-
cause of this. it is impossible to lay
out the theory of new taxation leg
islation which would prove adequate
to meeting the additional strain on
the treasury. A sales tax has been
suggested repeatedly. but whether
such a tax could be imposed and by
itself offset the bonus is a question
which has ardent supporters on both
sides.

An Interdependent Policy

The declaration of principles for 1922 by the
Mississippi Valley Association asserts that what the
country needs is not national agricultural policy,
but great national policy in which agriculture, in
dustry, commerce. finance and transportation, each
properly artcuates co-ordinates with all others
1t is the declaration, only acknowledge
this absolute interdependence of interest that shall
make real and permanent progress.
The association stands for the highest develop
of the merchant marine. endorses the pending
legislation for the development of our foreign trade,
supports plans for permanent waterway improve
ment the ordination of rail and waterway traffic.
the project for the Improvement of the ST Lawrence
favors flood control legislation, and generous
preparation for rivers and harbors.
1t urges upon the government the acceptance
of Henry Fords offer for Muscle Shoals declaring
that it has received the approval of people the
country. The waste of the government which has
been going since the signing of the armistice
should and the future responsibility should be
transferred from the taxpayers of the country to
Henry Ford under the offer he has made. I'VE also
declare" says the Association that representatives
of the association be appointed to urge the committee
Of congress now considering the Ford offer to report
favoraby the acceptance of offer to both houses
Of congress"
The time is not propitious believes the associa-
ton. for the operation of water railroads
and therefore any change in the federal law having
that object in view is opposed.
The "Pittsburg Plus plan is regarded as an un-
due imposition upon commerce in general and upon
the Mississippi Valley of steel in particular and
is therefore the hope of the association that the
federal government will find way to force the
abatement of the practice
AS to the rehabilitation Of Europe the Associa-
ton declares In opinion it would be in the pub
lie interest for federal government
business find a way of extending further credits
to Europe in order that the surplus products Of
American farms may be made available to consumers
abroad. In this the rehabilitation of Europe
be assisted and products for which there is SO
need home. may find outlet.

Tho present week witnessed d
change in the personnel Of the local
School Board, when Mr. Eugene Gui
Iliatt WIS replaced ~ Mr. Louis II
Lallande as one Of the Sixth Ward
members.
Mr., Guiliott has held q place o.
this Board for about fifteen years,
and was one Of the enthusiastic work
crs for education. OF recent years,
however, his work has kept him ouy
of New Iberia q greater part of the
time, which fact no doubt prompted
him to tender his resignation to the
governor.
Governor Parker showed rare judg-
ment in appointing Mr. Lallande to
fill the vacancy, as his interest in ed
ucation and his business ability are
both well recognized in this commu-
nifty. We feel certain that the gov
ornor's action will meet with gener-
al approval.
