The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XVill.—LOUISIANA
T HE discov
ery of
L o u i s i n na
dates back to
the begtnnln
of the Six
teenth cen
tury, when
the Spnuish explorers, Alvarez
de Pineda and De Soto sailed up
the Mississippi. In 1082 La
Salle descended the Mississippi
and took possession of the en
tire valley In the name of the
i reach king, Louis XIV. In his
honor this region was named
Louisiana. Trench colonies soon
sprang up, including New Or
leans, which was founded In
1718.
An Interesting chapter of
Louisiana was the formation of
the Company of the West by
a financial schemer named John
Law. This company ostensibly
was to exploit the now colony
and held out to speculators an
alluring get-rich-quick scheme.
In lTb.'i France ceded Louisi
ana east of the Mississippi to
England, and, by secret treaty,
New Orleans and the western
territory went to Spain. Spanish
rule proved unendurable to the
inhabitants and tie* restrictions
over tlit navigation of the Mis
sissippi led to hostilities be
tween the northern American
settlements and Spain. Tills
situation, however, was brought
to a peaceful termination by
Spain relinquishing her rights
to this territory to Frnnce and
Ihe purchase in ISO.'! by the Uni
ted Stntes from France of the
entire Louisiana territory.
The southern portion of this
acquisition was organized as the
territory of Orleans and In 1812
was admitted as the eighteenth
state of the Union, with un area
of 48,50(1 square miles. As the
Louisiana eoat-of-arms lias a
pelican in its center, the slate
is often railed. tjy; L’tdMu’ F.'.alfi.

WASHINGTON.—The farmers emer
gency tariff bill, whit , has became
effective, will mean ail additional
burden on the American people of
approximately $500,090,900 a year, ac
cording to conservative official esti
mates made hero.
Joseph 8. McCoy treasurer deprt-
ment actuary, has estimated the ad
ditional revenue that will accrue to
the government |h m the measuie
will be $lG5,CeO f OOO a year. Economic
{ | experts, regardless of paity affilia-
l lions, usually admit that any lax or
{ tariff is usually multiplied t roe-fold
t [before it reaches the ultimate, payer,
the ci nsumer.
S T WAS the
French (lag
w li i c h first
floated over
Indiana. I n
the middle of
t li e seven-
teenth cen
tury Ln Salle’s explorations
brought him through the wooded
wilderness of Indiana. Shortly
there followed Jesuit missionar
ies from Quebec and In their
trail came adventurous rangers
and fur traders. French forts
and trading posts were soon es
tablished. In 171*1 the British
took possession of this territory
after the French and Indian
wars, and remained in posses
sion until the Revolution.
One of the boldest campaigns
of the Revolution was that of
Clark's little army, whose indom
itable courage and audacity final
ly defeated the large British gar
rison at Vincennes and won the
Northwest territory for Virginia.
Pioneers from the East and from
Kentucky made their way Into
this new territory, anil among
these was Abraham Lincoln’s
futility. It was in 1S10. the year
that Indiana became Ihe nine
teenth state, that Liueoln at
tained citizenship in Indiana.
•With tin- increase in population
by 1800 Indiana Territory was
formed, extending from t\ie Ohio
border west to tlie Mississippi
and north to Canada. Vincennes
was selected as the first capital.
In 1804, when the Louisiana Pur
chase was made, the government
of Louisiana was placed in tin*
hands of t lie Indiana Territory
otllcials, so that for one year the
capital of Louisiana was also
at Vincennes in Indiana.
Although nicknamed the Hoo-
sier State, from the old
southern slang for rough back
woodsmen, Indiana, with its ,‘td,-
254 square miles, its fifteen Pres
idential electors, and containing
as It does the center of popula
tion, is considered of utmost im
portance politically.

As a result, eliminating other cir
cumstances that may affect the mar
kets, the bill should increase the cos;
of living to every man, woman and
c ! ild in the country about $5 a yeai
Under the cld tariff law, despite
the big importations the government
duties on articles Included in the
received less than $.,.t
emergency tariff
The main purpose cf the bill is
admittedly to boost the price cf farm
products and its sponsirs would like
to sea an increase at least three times
as luuiui as tlie tax imposed. They
claim that it is imperative to pay the
farmer higher prices for his products.
Where Falls Heaviest.
It' treasury estimates come tip to
expectations the tariff will fall lteav-
I iest on three necessities—wool, wheat
flt'iir and sugar.
McCoy's figures t .iw that the wool
tariffs should yield about $89 000,W)U
mure than the present schedules.
Multiplying this amount by three, it
means the consumer must pay $2.75
additional if lie buys only one s it a
year.
The sugar duties of 1.16 cents a
pound will yield the government an
addlticmil $40,000,000. Already in t e
nation’s capital the price cf sugar
has jumped one-half cent a pound.
Last Saturday it was said at six cents
to tlie consumer. Today the price was
7 1-2 cents
Another $2O,y00.00U is expected from
the duty (f "5 cents a bushel on wheat,
at thong ]i tin* rate is so high that it
may cause a big decrease in impor-
tfttions. The balance is diveded be
tween about 25 other items.
Other articles affected by tin* tar
iff are:
Flax seed, com or maize, beunr,
peanuts, p’.tatoeB, onions, rice, lem
ons, cogitable oils, cattl and sheep
fresh and frozen beef, cotton and its
manufactures, butter, cheese, milk,
apples, cherries, wrapper tobacco, and
olives.
