G. 1i. M r( ;ruder,general agent of the Fo:t Worth and Denver City Railway Company and thel Colorado and Southern Railway Company, was in Shreveport 2a few h',m.s Saturday, being en route to his healldquarters in New Orleans a ter a business trip in North Dakota. "Shreveport has a splendid drawing card," he said.. *"lThe presence of natural gas here means increased capital; it means a much larger pay roll. It will draw factories and wage earn rs. Not like the farmers, who will put practically all of their money in stock or more land, the wage earner, the factory employe will come to the city and spend their money. Each merchant and bus iness man will get some of his salary. '"Why, look at Birmingham. That's about the finest city in the South today, and it's due to Birmingham's immense pay roll. Natural gas is going to mean a similar development here in Shreveport.'-Shreveport Times. What is said of Shreveport can be said of Winufield. If we could only get together and make an effort. Natural gas within a short distance, not exceeding two miles and a half, it could, at a small expense, be piped to Winn field,-and when once we could go to-a gas main brought from Cedar Creek and light it and exhibit it to the world, there is no telling where our development' would stop. It would indeed be a draw ing card andd one that could not be beaten. "It means a big pay roll." It takes that to make a town-manufactories that have a big pay roll. With cheap fuel there is nothing to keep Winn field from being one of the finest cities in the South. We, are destined to be a railway center of no small proportion. Give a town cheap fuel, water and plenty' of railway facilties and the capital and population will come of its own accord. Assessors and Assessments. In days of yore it was a very popular idea that no questiod was ever settled until it was settled right. It is to be hoped this prin ciple will apply to the assessment and taxation problem that ii now agitating the people of Louisiana. But the more we argue the ques ton the farther are we from a conclusion. , We may reason along to the ineontrovertable fact that all property should, be assesiEd at its cash value, and the tax rates be fixed in accordance with that value and the necessities of gov ernment economically adminis tered, yet on the threshold of.the breaking day we are met by the Shaxow of inevitably increased taxes, and are plunged into deep er darkness. (Here we are confronted in the most startling manner by the danger that lies in the supreme and. unrestrained power of the as sessors. Each one of them ie a law unto himself in the fixing of assessaent values up to the cash value of property, at which point the-courts may itservene.

BANK OF WINiNFIELD absolute in their authority in this matter. Ordinarily they are con sidered merely pyppets in the hands of the governor of the State. They are being urged, either rightly or wrongly, to a general increase of assessed values throughout the State. This, In crease in assessed values cannot but mean increased taxes. The possibility of a comphance by the assessors with the demands of the governor In the abece of cer tainty that d.l. tax rates can and will be reduced to a corre.ponhl ing degree is simply dunmfound ing. No argument for the restraint of the assessors could be stronger. The dangers of the present sys temn are too apparent.-Baton Rouge State. THE VALLEY HOTEL T. J. JENNINOS, Prop.
