Under the caption, "The State's
Main Standby," the .following forci
ble and timely editorial appeared in T
the New Orleans Picayune of Septem
ber 13:
"It is a great mistake to suppose I
that sugar is an interest which con
cerns the lower southern tier of par
ishes of Louisiana alone. Every sec- o
tion of the state profits by the in- h
dustry and would be worse without ti
it or if anything in the way of ad
verse legislation or disaster should
overtake it. Not only does sugar
provide the 'main source of liveli- t
hood for the great mass of the peo- n
ple of the most thickly populated
part of the state and creates many
millions of dollars of business for c
the city of New Orleans and for t
transportation companies, but by the
great increase in the assessments of
sugar property the industry provides
a very considerable proportion of the s
alimony of the state; in fact, the r
loss in that regard due to the rav
ages of the boll weevil has been
more than made up by the increased
revenue derived from sugar proper- t
ties.
