One suit by a Negro demanding entrance into the law school was settled by the establishment of a law school at a Negro college near Baton Rouge. LSU law faculty members have agreed to contribute their time until such fime as competent Negro instructors can be trained. The petition of Viola Johnson to enter the state medical school is not so easily satisfied. The cost of establishing a separate medical school with facilities which would satisfy the American Medical Association is conservatively estimated at nearly two million dollars far too much money for the handful of Negro students eligible to attend.

Some here believe two or three Negro students could unobstrusively attend the medical school in New Orleans without causing a racial Even if this were possible it does not solve the problem confronting the state educators.

The return of the coal miners to work has not solved the basic issues involved in the coal controversy. The glaring fact remains that the miners stopped production at the order of one man, that they went back to work at the order of one man, that they can again walk out at the order of one man. This great nation, in effect, is existing on the sufferance of one man. It is a misnomer to describe the present day coal strikes as strikes against the mine operators.

They are strikes against the American people. The last coal strike was aimed straight at every home in America every job in America every business in America. The return of the miners to work has not changed a situation which Judge Goldsborough put effectively into words in his decision, when he said: "If action of this kind could be successful, it could overthrow the government." It could, in short, do what Germany and Japan were unable to do in the greatest war of all time. Furthermore, as one of the most prominent Senators said, the obligation of Congress to overhaul our labor laws and our labor policy has not changed and it will not change regardless of the final decisions of the Federal courts.

Don't be too quick to read. Judge Robert Kennon of Minden out of the Gubernatorial contest.

Despite rumors that he has run his race and will settle for something else, his friends say he is ready, willing and able. Dedrick Gill, head of the Louisiana Livestock Commission, says he would like to shake the hand of the man who killed the appropriations bill for his the courts is to say what the law means the duty of Congress is to put into the framework of law the needs and desires of the people. And there can be no question of public sentiment when 400,000 coal miners place their interests above the interests of 140,000,000 men, women and children. It is clear now that the Wagner Act has failed completely in its purpose the elimination of strikes. It must be revised in principle as well as in detail.

It is clear that labor must be forced to assume responsibilities commensurate with its power precisely as industry, under strict laws, has been forced to assume such responsibilities. On what logical grounds can we continue to allow great unions, with millions of dollars in resources, to operate scot free of laws, passed in the name of the public interest, which govern all other enterprises? The extremists in the labor ranks prattle of their rights and freedoms, and hysterically oppose every suggestion that would curb abuses. What these extremists really want is not freedom, but license. No man, no group of men, can be "free" to deliberately force this nation into industrial stagnation, widespread unemployment, and unimaginable destitution. The goal Congress must seek is not punitive treatment of labor.

It is, on the contrary, the placing of union labor on a basis of equality before the law instead of exempting it from the laws that apply to industry and all citizens. We must reassert the authority of the government which is simply the authority of the people. All other domestic problems pale into obscurity beside this one.

The 1946 Legislature attempted to abolish Gill's job by simply refusing to appropriate money for operating the commission.

Normally this is an effective way the legislature has of abolishing an unnecessary state department. Not so in this case. Some resourceful soul dug up an old statute of 1869 which provided a fee of ten cents a head for cattle inspected and a commission for the inspector. Since this law has never been repealed Gill now works on a commission basis and is reported ot be making much more than his abolished salary. Incidentally, Representative Ragan Madden from Ruston, chairman of the house appropriations committee which refused to provide money for this department, is being talked up around the capitol as a possible candidate for Lt.

Tolar's Pan-Am Station For Assistance In Filing Your INCOME TAX It now seems inevitable that the next Congress will make a start on a long-range program of government economy and tax revision. Any tax reduction will necessarily be determined by the size of future national budgets. It is very easy to say that we should keep on soaking the rich, and that whatever tax cuts are made should practically all be in aver of the worker of small and moderate means.

The ability to pay will always be a determinative factor in tax policy. However, extortionate taxes on corporations and large incomes destroy the very source of capital which is needed to develop new industries, new scientific discoveries, and to create jobs and opportunities for all. The average man is the loser when that happens. John W. Hanes, president of the Tax Foundation, recently made some suggestions of merit.

It is Mr. Hanes' opinion that income tax rates should start at 20 per cent and rise to 45 per cent in the $50,000 bracket, 54 per cent in the $200,000 bracket, and reach a 70 per cent maximum at He urges that earned income should be treated much more generously than at present, which would be of benefit to all workers at all income levels. He advocates the elimination of double taxation on corporate dividends. Mr. Hanes believes in equitable tax adjustments that will not destroy the incentive to produce, invest and employ.

This is a pattern for a tax program that Congress should consider.

SHERIFF'S SALE Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender inflamed bronchial mucous membranes. Tell your druggist to sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with the understanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are to have your money back. CREOMULSION For Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis There are a lot of folks who don't think much of the idea of making good resolutions each New Year. They point out that only a few strong-willed persons are able to keep many of their New Year's resolutions longer than about January 2nd. Even so, it still doesn't hurt any of us to sit down now and then and sort of check up to see what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong and what changes we ought tomake.

And what better time for that than the New Year? It's the psychological moment. One good resolution that many farm families will be making this New Year is to plant a better garden in 1947, raise a few more chickens and hogs, get a better dairy cow, and generally increase food production on the farm. That's the one resolution that it will pay any farm family to make and keep. In the past, there have been two schools of thought about home food production on the farm. One school argued that the farm family should raise the greatest possible amount of its food supply.

The other school argued that it was better business to devote all available time and space to a cash crop and buy food for the family elsewhere. The second school of thought was once pretty strong in Louisiana, which has three big cash crops. But the first school of thought is winning out, on the basis of irrefutable economic evidence. Through thick and thin, depression and prosperity, it has been found that the farm that pays off is the farm which produces not only its cash crops but also food for the farm family. Farming is a difficult and complicated business, but two of the keys to successful farming are home food production and home food preservation.

They mean money saved and a better diet throughout the year and that means better health and greater happiness. Used Cars Across from Nichols Cafe and Taxi Phone 382 State of Louisiana, Parish of Richland Fifth. District Court. Tallulah Production Credit Association vs. No.
