ARMISTICE DAY 1920
Twenty-four months ago the final
shot of the titanic struggle was fired
on the battlefields of France; the last
man died for God, for home and for
native land; the sword was sheathed
and the vast machinery of death
ceased its work of destruction. Arm
ed millions, tired in body and wear
ied in soul, dispersed to return home
and resume occupations of peace.
Today, with fervent spirit of thank
fulness, we bow our heads in remem
brance of deeds of valor and pray for
the souls of those who died in war's
frightful havoc that the world might
be free. There is, and always will le,
recorded on history's brightest page
the almost superhuman things accom
plished in that struggle of nations, and
each race will hand down to its pos
terity what their forebears did in the
'mighty revolution of human passion
that overturned the existing order of
things.
From the chaos of war has emerged
the Dove of Peace. Mankind, in whom
snayhap brute passion still holds
sway, turns today to more solemn
thoughts. Blood-letting and the quest
[or a livelihood may be ruling pas
sions much akin, but exhausted bodies,
tired with human detruction, must
seek the fuel of life. In this realm of
endeavor the God of War has no place
but the peaceful conflict of mentality
against mentality goes on with equal
vigor, and after all it is in truth a
survival df the fittest-the one law
of nature that has become axiapnatic.
Today, however, we forget thoughts
of commercial contest and turn our
mind's eye to the tragic scenes en
acted on the fields of France. To
those brave Americans, and their
brothers in arms, who perished for
-the triumph of a principle we breathe
a silent prayer and on Fame's imperish
able tablet we write their names in let
ters of everlasting gold. Each recur
ring year, on this immortal date, the
mental picturization of their heroic
deeds and their glorious deaths will
rise in our breasts and every true
American, every true lover of Liberty
will whisper a silent benediction on
their immortal souls.
FLOOD CONTROL IN LOUISIANA
We have received an invitation to at
tend the meeting of the Louisiana
Flood Control association which will
asemble in New Orleans next Mon
day and Tuesday. Quoting from the in
vitation, "no opportunity of such vital
interest and benefit to uý has ever
presented itself as the matter and
problem has come before the people
and big and small interests domiciled
in the alluvial lands of the state. The
mighty river pours its waters down
on this state each twelve-month and
when the banks get full some levee
breaks and a vast section is inundat
ed, thbusands of people made homeless
and millions of dollars of damage
wrought.
Year after year for generations we
have been spending money in the
building of "protection" levees that
afford no protection when they break,
and men wise to the situation inform 1
us that the river bottoms are rising
above their former level as the levees 1
are raised. Still more levees are built
and old ones increased in height. Tax
as are lavied, collected and spent and
the only time the levees look formid
able is when the rivers are at low
ebb. When tlL flood comes and the
river is "bank-full" the levees do not 1
present such a formidable appearance.
A few men, in the years agone, said
perhaps wisely that in addiiton to the
levees we needed a system of outlets
to let the surplus water escape to the
sea and not wait until the mighty
flood ran off through the few natural
outlets at hand. Their opinion was
scoffed by the cabal behind the levee
contractors that reaped a gold harv
est from the taxpayers of the state
a harvest paid for building more le
vees and higher levees that broke in
time and during some flood stage an
entire sections of rich lands were in
undated and put out of commission
agriculturally for a year.
The time for levee graft is or should
be at an end. The all-levee theory is 1
about exploded, and if the lowlands of
Louisiana are to escape annual visita
tion of floods the people there living
should turn to some other scheme for
the protection of their homes and
fields. I~evee taxes and ý creage taxes
are becoming a burdensome burden in- I
deed, en.i if the vast expenditure oft
such taxes produces no material good i
except to erect a great wall of dirt i
that aforfds no protection, then the
abolishment of such taxes should be in I
order. Millions have been spent for t
Jevees and if half that sum had been t
expendeo on some sensible plan of
permanent outlets danger of annual or c
biennial floods would have been pass- !
ed and forgotten long ago. The con- 1
tractors who have made fortunes in t
erecting levees realized that if an out- I
let system was constructed their an
nual fat jobs of repairing damaged le
vees and ibuilding new ones would
come to a sudden end. The flood of
propaganda against the outlet system
served a useful purpose insofar as they
were concerned, for the uninformed
people swallowed the skilfully pre
pared stuff gotten up and issued with
such an idea in view and went on pay
ing high taxes and building more le
vees and suffering from loverflow al
most every year.
The time has come to end this one
idea system of levees and if the meet'
ing in New Orleans next week reaches
a sane and sensible plan whereby the
vexing problem will forever be solved
then its session will prove of lasting
benefit to the people living in the low
lands of Louisiana.
WHERE IT MAY BE WISE TO WAIT
Authorities in many parishes and
road districts in this and Adjoining
states have been up against the pro
I position of not being able to secure
gravel and other material for high
way construction. Labor conditions
and lack of cars have been just a few
of the problems before the men who
let out contracts, and even the con
tractors themselves, have had much
difficulty in going ahead with the
work. Gravel has been abnormlly
high in cost and railroad lines state
they have been short of cars for the
hauling of such material to the roads
being constructed.
Before present condtions obtained,
building modern roads was cheap as
compared with present figures. Ow
ing to the enormous advance in every
thing connected with road building
only one mile can be built where two
or three were built before.
Everyone realizes the growing need
for permanent roads, but some people
now think it would be wise to sus
pend operations until prices for mater
ial and labor agaip become normal.
Only fixed sums have been voted and
funded into bonds.- These fixed sums
can build much more highway if the
letting of contracts is held up pending
the return to pre-war prices. Even if
the proceeds of bond issues lay up in
the banks without drawing interest it
will go much further later on when
one dollar- buys as much as two or
three now purchase, and the wisdom
of "watchfully waiting" will then be
self-evident. .We need and want the
roads, but it would be wiser to wait
until we could and did get two or more
miles for the present price of one.
THE CONVENTION ANID ITS WORK
The Clarion did not favor the call
for a constitutional convention. It
deemed the ,terms of the legislative
measure putting the matter before the
people as inopportune and not in keep
ing with the growing spirit of the
times. However, the electorate of
Louisiana has thought otherwise and
the convention now is but a matter of
months.
The work before that august body
of the people's delegates is one which
will require the thought and earnest
endeavors of our best brains. No half
baked measure will fill the denmands
of the people nor serve as an organic
law for this commonwelath for a long
time to come. We already have seen
the evil and expense of amending a
constitution every two years, and the
new instrument should be so framed
as to practically eliminate all need for
such amendments made in order to
perfect a faulty work.
Briefly, the new constitution should
be, as Mr. Dubuisson well stated, the
frame work of government-nothing
but basic principles, and legislation
as heretofore grafted onto the consti
tution should be left entirely to the
general assembly,: Practical men,*
with numerous axes ' to grind, should
take their troubles to the law-making
branch of the government for hearing
and not attempt by devious methods
to have the convention frame in the
organic law a plan wbich would re
dound to personal and individual pre
ferment or individual good.
We have heard some talk--or did
hear it during the campaign-that the
convention might be dominated by
the preent governor and his well
known ideas of government writen in
to the constitution. Everyone acquaint
ed with public afairs in Louisiana
knows that Mr: Parker has favored a
short ballot and "the_ election of only
the governor and lieutenant governor,
the balance of the state administration
to be appointed by the executive. This
idea, along with other opinions ex
pressed by him, is entirely undemo
cratic and unless the convention is
boss-ridden will find no lodgment in
the minds and opinons of the more
tha na hundred delegates.
There may be some move to in
crease salaries and extend office-hold
ing terms. Some of these ideas may
be opportune, others not. Careful at
tention should be given any and every
move in that direction and the really
meritorious ones adopted. Such 'a sep
ariation of the sheep from the goats
is absolutely necessary, unless we are
going to let down the bar and let
them all in, good and evil alike.
The delegates, we believe, are to re
ceive a stipend of fifteen dolars per
day for the seventy-five days the body
is in session. Each delegate, therefore,
will receive in the aggregate $1,125,
or a grand total of $172,125 in salaries
for the delegates alone. In addition to
this "modest" sum, there will be an
additional expense, totalling perhaps
an enormous sum, for clerk hire, print
ing, etc. After the work is complete
the body may vote to refer its work
to the people, which would entail an
other big expense for the holding of
a general state election to ratify or
reject the new organic law. If this
election is held, the expense of draft
ing a new constitution will undoubted
ly cost the taxpayers of.the state not
less than three hundred thousand dol
lars, and if the people reject it at a
possible referendum election, that
much money will have been thrown
to the winds, noc to mention the labors
of the delegates and their clerks.
All of this gives the elected dele
gates, as well as the people they rep
resent, some food for serious thought.
If we have to pay the price of a new
constitution,.et us have the best to
be had, and one predicated on the fu
ture needs, growth and expansion of
Louisiana. If the instrument can be
drawn up in accordance with' the ,best
ideas centered on the most good for
the whole people, then the money ex
pended in securing it will have been
well spent indeed. But if any man,
set or men or political ring is to con
trol the future destinies of htis com
monwealth by overlooking the needs
and wishes of the people atd subordi
nating the convention to personal am
bitions or personal greed, then the ex
penditure of nearly a third of a mil
lion dollars witl be unjustifiable in
every sense of the word.
THINGS LOOK BETTER
FOR THE RICEFARMER
REPORT FROM KINDER SAYS
GRAIN IS MOVING SOMEWHAT
FREELY THERE
The Kinder Tribune, In its last is
sue, carrie4 an item of news interest
lag and encouraging to the rice farm
er. Accokdling to the Kinder paper,
since the Southern Rice Growers as
soeiation secured control of ninety
per cent of the mills under the lease
system, some thousands of bags of
rough rice produced. in that territory
and stored ih local warehouses has
been shipped, being sold, according to
grade and variety, at about $.5Q to $b
per barrel, cash, the balance to be paid
on the' marketing of the milled rice 'by
the association.
Grades Nos. 1 and 2 of the famous
Blue Rose variety seems to be the
favorite, and the Kinder report says
that this rice brought the top figure
of five dollars per barrel. It is firmly
believed that when the association's
milling plans are fully matured the
problem facing the rice -farmers
throughout Louisiana and Texas will
be practically sblved and the move
ment of the crop 'to market .at fair
prices become accomplished fact. Pro
ducers think there is no excuse for the
stagnation in the market and the
small prices offered, in view of the
fact that retailers have been demand
ing and receiving high' prices for
clean rice on sale in stores.
