THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT.
As we said in our last issue there is a
great deal of work to be done by the Legisla
tore. Thtl most serious work before it is
that of remodeling the Judiciary system.
That branch of our government is the nmor.t
important to the people. especially in this
pountry where the executive department is
always in safe hands. A good effective
tern is as necessary in our government as the
heart is necessary to the body. It is theret
where every question is arbitrated and sets;
tied, wrongs righted, differences adjusted
end all matters arising between mail and
man passed upon and finally decided. The)
people, therefore, are more vitally interested I
in a good judiciary than in anything else.
If any economy is to be practiced let it be
plsewhere than in this line. Our law makers
should never take into consideration the
qqpstion of dollars and cents when it comes
to the Judiciary.
Retrenchment and reform are the order
of the day. Tle SENTINEL Is in favor of
them. We not only advocate them but de
wand that they should be emblazoned on
every banner and be written in bold charac
ters in every platform. When is comes to?
pducation and the judiciary, however, he is
unwise who prates about retrenchment and
reforp. Retrenchment and reform do not
pome iq here, unless it be to reform the
pnasees out of schools and retrench from the
people every hope of having protection to
life, property and liberty.
We hope that the Legislature will give
us a circuit court system which will be an
jmprovemeut en the present one-one in
which the people will have entire confidence
mid one ahich will be able to devote all
the time necessary to the public interest.
Many are opposed to a change but upon ins
veutigation it will be discovered that a num
per of those are actuated by selfish motives.
Give us amendments for a new Circuit
Conrt System. The people will not be satie
ftpd if this is not done.
'ThE POILL TA X QUESTION.
Another important matter which is to
be brought to the attention of our
Legislators for careful consideration is the
Poll Tax question. Whether it should be
repealed or not is now puzzling the minds of
many. We have always been a strong advo
cate of the Poll Tax law as made a part of
the cons'titution of 1890, because we believed
firmly that this qualification for voting
would excite within the bosom of every citi
;en in Lonisiana a stronger desire to exercise
the rights of suffrage especially when threat.
ened vith disfranchisement, but in this
belipf we fear we have been woefully muistak.
en. This law has met with the indignant
contempt of a large per cent of white voters
in this State and the result is that in many
parishes nore negroes have registered than
whites. Again it was thought that in the
harge negro. parishes that the negroes would
uot pay the Poll Tax, but they were not to be
caught napping as w ill be seen from the
oilcial report of the Seuretary of State in the
following parishes.
Tensam parish has 869 white voters,
and reports l9C3 poil ta xes paid for 190iI.
Madison parish shows a more marked
contrast. The total wvhite vote is 291
and the poll tax~es paidl for 1900 were
2, 071T.
Franklin parisd has i77 white votes.
*n4 reports 1,484 poll taxes paid for 1900).
IVst Carroll has 317 white voters, and
reports 1,639 poil taixes. Iaid.
JLincolii has l.00d white votes. and re
ports 1 840 1poll taxes paid in 1900.
St. James has 1.7 white votes, and
reports 1,561 poll taxes paid ii 1U<,U.
St. Helena hans 7Tv> white votes, and r.e
ports 1,518 poll taxus paid.
St. Landry hasi 4,851 white votes, and
reports 6,577 poll taxes paid.
St. Mary has 913 white vetes, and re
Forts 4,213 poll taxes paid.
East Baton Rouge has 517 white votes.
s~d reports 1,089 poll taxes paid.
Poll Tax qualificaticn does nut dis ualify I
the negro but rather is educating hiini. Of
Course in othr iparishis where the negro
population is small few have' registered.
- The Poll Tax law is now serving. as the
- official report= -Low. as a compulsory educa
*tional clause fºr the lnegro and witlin a few
years we fear tile negroes will be seekin~g the
- i polls in large inumbers again threatening our
- fair State with the same dant er we have
been warding against for the last thirty odd
years.
The matter rests with our le'zislatmlre
it seitmis that the present set iun .t C'ººi
gress is going to be a disac-trou- failire in
1 the expectations of President 1i º-erelt. a=
I none of his pet measurer are meetiiin with
the hearty and united sang tion if the rejl .
blican Representatives and Senators.
An extra session will be ca11-d. it i.
rinumored. to meet immediately after th e
adjournment of the present session for the
purpose of trying to effect the pass:ae of the
Cuban Reciprocity and Nicaraniua hills.
Little Legislation is being a-. onmplished a.
1lthe President and Ciigress are at loger
heads.
THE ERA OF CON SOLII)ATION.
fhe tendency to concentrate and cýºnsoli
r date blusinº.ss and industrial enterprise is one
of the most marked and important develop
iuents of the times. This is not Only ti'lc of
r the great manufacturing indust:ics. but of
f almost all lines of business activity as well.
and. as has been shown by the great Slip
a ping Trust, the same tendency has been tx
tended to transportation. The coIISolifatiOni
0? idea has ako extended to financial matters.
8 for we find important banking entrrpri~es all
J over the country consolidating several large
t banks in a given place combining to form one
e great institution.
e The objects and aims of these cAombina-.
o tions are in all cases identical. T'me firat and
most important object aimed at is the elimin
ation. as much as possible, of competition
e both in buying and selling. It is this ten
n dency that has made the trusts odious to the
n masses of the people. The second object
aimed at is to increase profits by reducing the
e cost of administration. Under the trust sys
El tern one central office takes the place of many
L. independent administrative officers, with
ý. their separate corps of clerks and managers.
This phase of the subject is of the greatest
n' interest to wage earners, as in the process of
s. the survival of the fittest, mant are thrown
it out of employment. Still another, and not
tgenerally considered phase ",f the trust ten
dency, is the great profits miade by flooding
the country with millions of dollars of securi
ties. Where a trust or combination is formed
by the abaorption of all the factories or corn-,
panics in a given line, the component or eli
minated companies are bought out by cash
Spayments for their plants, aggregating in
most cases sums greatly in excess of the true
ir value of the enterprises. The trust issues
me securities to cover these payments, then is
ae sties more secur-ities to provide working cajji
tal, and adds still anothter issue of securities,
as a bonus to the promoters and original
c- shareholders in the combination. It is no
of Iunumsual thing to find these great trusts capi
. j talized to the entent of three times the actual
cash value of the original component enter
'Eprises.
h- No matter from what point of view (on
se sidered, these great cotmbAinations are an evil
tto the masses of the people and to the coun-.
.- try. They eliminate vast numbers of a-nall
I5 mert-hanits and brokers: they r-estrii-t emiplov
k-I menit of labor, and finally thiey Ilood the
atcountry with securities of very qumestionahle
value. This last phase of the matter is of,
tiespia importance, because at the prewnt'
7tmeit is not given the (o:Isidlerat ion to
ini which it is entitled. All these great ccrnbini
ae tionls which have issued vast quantities of
Idsecurities over and the above sums actually
Idinvested and the v'alumes act tally repre-wnted
oe coumit upon futur-e developnent and prosper-i
lety of the country to secure a return of divi
dends on their vast issues of stocks. This is
le ot soutid financiering, and when the bubble
bursts the system is bound to entail serious
misfortunes upon the country. Aiiy -orpora
tioni which issues securities in excess of its
power to earn interest thereon is not -sounid.
financially, and must sooner or later comne to
grief. Of course, the promoters of such en-'
terprises count on unloading their holdings
on the mecneral public before the crash comes.
They bt~win on thme 11i(1ie of affairs can pro
tetthemselves, whereas tlw g-eneral *i'ublie
cannot. particularly as the great trusts. do
not publish statements like ordinary corpora
tions.
While this phase of the trust question
makes the entire class of great combinations.
(laiger-ous, if also contains the weapon whit-h
will ultimately destroy them. Any corpora
tion, great or small, which is not built upon
a sound financial foundation, must sooner or
later pass through the bankruptcy courts.
The history of the railroads of the country
has exemplified this truth abtundantly.--Pi
