KIoKERs AGAINST SPECIAL TAXES

We learn that there is considerable
kicking" against paying the special
tax, now being collected by the tax
collector. Some very wise individu-
ais say they propose to Eight it."
Their reliance for success in such q
fight is upon article 200 Of the new
constitution. which limits taxation 10
five mills State and ten mills parish
tax, and provides that it may be in
creased only for the purpose Of pub
lie improvement, and then only after
said tax shall have been ratified by .
vote of the taxpayers. A fight made
on this ground would be all very
well, provided it came within the
scope and authority of the new con-
stitution. But it happens in this
case that the new constitution does
not apply. The special tax in ques-
ton is made by an order of court,
after thorough investigation Of the
matter; and, from common sense

taken to prevent the sale OF the jail
house in execution Of the Judgment
Of h. Mcknight against the parish. "
Immediately following this bright
idea they authorized the president
to contract with the purchaser of the
jail to rent il at so so per month.
Mr.. Mcknight became the purchaser,
and this contract was made with
him. At the meeting Of the police
jury Jan. s. 1880, the parish treasu-
rer reported having paid H. Mcknight
$50 for the FIRST five months Of 1879.
while the report of the committee on
claims at the same meeting allowed
him $40 for rent on jail for the year
1879. It will be borne in mind that
the jail was not owned by Mcknight
until purchased by him on the 18th
day Of July, 1879. In 1880. at its
April meeting. the police jury sppor-
toned $3.50 to pay for the jail rent.
In 1881, at their January meeting,
they again apportioned $3.50 for the
same purpose. So that altogether
Mr.. Mcknight had received $495 for
rent Of the jail $295 in part payment
on it. while he holds the building
as his own property. and has still to
be paid e705, with interest, on his
Judgment. All this because a wise
police jury saw fit to refuse to settle
the matter for $500! Bah. enough Of
this thing. Let's quit kicking" and
pay our way ont of a bad scrape- 1t
costs too dearly for the fun. Our
former police jurries are largely to
blame for il. and all we can do is to
poke them in the ribs for such un-
wise aud needless acts. Let our
present police jurors remember that
they are not the parish Of Grant. but
the servants Of the people Of the
parish, and it is their bounded duty
to steer clear of breakers and not in
volve them again by failing to carry
out eontrscts in good faith. The
bIunders referred to above we're per-
haps unintentional. but they have
been made. and should serve as .
warning to our police jurors. even i
they serve no other purpose.

Cotton Factories aud Philanthropy.

Mr.. Charles Estes, of Angus
ia, who is now travelling the
continent over as an apostle of
manufacturing, says; Every
thousand dollars put into cot
ton factories will comfortably
support FIVE people" The sta
tistics show that $1,000 given to
philanthropic purposes will
hardly support ave people one
year. It costs $500 per head
to support pauper, or $1,000
for FIVE. But $1,000 put into a
cotton factory will give to FIVE
people it supports the tweetest
bread of earth-that earned by
honest labor. Put into aims
houses, it gives its stipendiaries
the bitter bread of charity. In
the first case it builds up the
country-supports schools and
stores, and makes idle hands
busy. In the last it stagnates,

then comes back to him unim-

in cotton factories, then, is a
true philanthropist in effect if
not in purpose. The returns
