AUTOMOBILE LICENSE.
About One Fifth in State Paid to
Feb. 16, $325,95s.Oe.

According to che report made by
the Secretary Of States Office to the
State Highway Commission on Feb
ruary 16, automobile license collec-
IONS for the year 1922, amounted
on that date to total of 1926, ,958.-
w. This it is estimated represents
about one-ffth Of the number of
in the state.
After March /, automobile licen-
Ecs become delinquent, leaving less
than twelve days for four-fifths of
the automobiles in the state to quail
ty without the payment of the pen
atty tax.
Officials of the commission esti-
lnatc that there are 100000 automo-
tie5 in the state and that close to
50, 100000 will be collected in license
(aEe@. This is the chief item in the
good road building budget for 1922.
For the month of January the one
cent tax on gasoline yielded $4,000.
Allowing for the natural increase
which is sure to come in the consump-
ton of gasoline during the warm
months, because of the more general
use of the automobile for pleasure
driving, the commissioners estimate
that this source of revenue will run
:lose to $1,5O0,O0O.
When the appropriation of the
federal government is added to the
items listed above, over S5,00O,00O
will be available for the construc-
ton OF good roads in this state dur
lng 1922.
There are some smaller items
which also go into the pot. The col
lection of chauffeurs licenses will
bring in the neighborhood of $4,000.
When the pro rate added by the par
ishes or local road districts is added
to the general fund of the highway
commission a staggering amount of
money is at hand for good road con-
'truction each year.

ENTIRE COURT TO SIT.
Attorney General Asks All Judges to
Hear Railways Case.

Attorney General A. Y. Coco,
sometime ago, made a request that
the entire membership Of the Su-
preme Court sit to hear argument on
the states appeal from the decision
of the district court, in the suit
wherein it is sought to place the
street railways of New Dreams under
the control of the Public Service
Commission. The following editorial
on the subject, which appeared y in
last Wednesdays issue of the New
Orleans States, is timely and to the
point:
eve hope Attorney General Coco
will be successful in having the en-
tire Supreme Court sit on the suit by
which he seeks to take control OF
transportation utilities of New Or
leans out Of the hands of the local
lie Service Commission.
'The court now is made up Of nine
members, seven being regaaar judges
and two from the country having
been called in to aid the. court in
clearing its docket.
"Ordina1ily the case would be
heard by only half the court, but it
is so important that the public should
have the benefit Of the consa aleration
Of the entire bench and SPEEDY de-
cision when the arguments and
briefs have been submitted.
s'In the lower court the state was
defeated. The appeal is from Judge
Parker's decision.
"We have expressed the hope that
| the state will be unsuccessful in the
litigation since we have been con-
sistently and irreconcilably opposed
to any system which would put in the
hands of Baton Rouge commission
the regulation. of utilities which af-
feet every man, woman and child in
this community.
'But whether the decision is to be
for or against the state the earliest
possible termination~. of the case is
desirable in the interest Of better
and cheaper service for New Or
leans.
"a decision for the Attorney Gem
eral will, in all likelihood, mean a
long postponement of the reorgani-
zation of the company and a tidy sum
taken out Of the pockets of the peo-
| pie of New Orleans as is the case now
from day to day.
| "a different. decision would mean
an early agreement by the company
the city and the federal court on the
ordinance Of the city which provides
elementally for a reduetioR Of fare
to cents, a cutting down Of the
gas rate and extensive improvements
of the property.
sIt may be assumed that the ma
Ijority Of the people thinkalike The
lStates-that everybody in New Or
leans will be the gamer from the I'm
Isuceess of the state in its suit"

! ing, in car or train lots, in the lowest
markets, through the organization.
Mr.. Kapp said that the bureau was
we'll organizeds.1n nearly every state

cording to instrur ions from bureau
experts, and marketed through the
bureau, while others. who had mar
keted In the old way obtained prac-
tically nothing for the merchandise.

money was saved to the farmers on
feed peas and fertilizer purchased in
big lots through the organization.

Jobs More Important.

Six hundred thousand service men
are jobless say the head of the
American Legion.
Then he adds that this is one of
the reasons why congress should has
ten the bonus.
That is correct. 1t is right and
just and decent that the former sol.
diers should be compensated in great
er measure than they received while
the war was on.
But that is not the half of it.
These six hundred thousand service
men and the several millions of 9th
er workers are out of work should
be provided with jobs.
This the government can do, and
the American Legion should bend
some of it's energies and apply some
of it's great influence toward turn.
ing the minds of congressman in that
direction. If American lawmakers
don't know how it is done let them
ask Canadian statesmen.
The bonus is all right, but the
opportunity to make a living after
the few hunderd dollars thus &C
quired are spent is thousand times
more important.

NEW POLITICAL pARTT
Farmers To Organize and Place
National Ticket in Field.

According to recent special from
Chicago, it is possible that there will
be third political party in the field
with a full list of candidates in the
presidential election in, 1924. The
farmers of the country, especially Of
the west and middle west, are said
to be very much disappointed over
the failure of congress to grant them
relief from the distressingly low
prices Of farm products which have
prevailed for some two years, and are
determined to, make strong effort
to secure protection for themselves.
A conference of farmers represen~
tatives held in the Windy City was
largely attended, among those pres
ent being A. C. Townley, president
of the National Non-Partisan League,
who it is said holds the whip hand
Of the organization.
Organizers claim the ''bloc" viii!
have membership of 225,OO0 By the
end of this year and more than H.
100000 by 1924. Townley, who
came to Chicago from Washington
after comforting with leaders in the
farm political move at the capital,
was understood to be prepared to
scrap the Non-Partisan League and
merge his following in it with the
new party. Townley has not been
satisfied with the extreme radical
element which obtained control of the
Non=Partisan League in North Da-
kota.
F. B. Woods, "dirt farmer'' Of
North Dakota, and vice PRECEDENT Of
the Non-Partisan League, was at the
conference and backed Townley's
position.
A coalition will be formed with
the labor group, according to the
opinion Of farmer representative
