THAT AsHToY-MACoE LEVEE

The plan to buiId TINS IeTec Is
assuming tangible shape, 1t is
proposed TO have the State donate
/ to this lcyee district all the lands
/ therein, that have been forfeited to
/ the State. The bill that's proposed,
provides for an annual tax OF five
mills on all taxable property in the
district. spccifictax of five cents
an acre on land and a tax on
cotton not to exceed one dollar
per bale. 1t authorizes the levce
Board t. issue Bonds not exceeding
100000, bcaring interest of not
more than six per cent payable in
not less than twelve or more
than forty years. 1t is
expected that this will enable the
Board to build the Ashton-Macon
levee as well as the Diamond
Island Bend levee, and all other
openings now''existing between the
Arkansas line and Red River. This
plan will relieve the Tensas basin
of all Mississippi River water, and
and will not damage the country
west of bayou Macon, to the Qua
clita. The Ashton Macon lcvee
will extend from Ashton north
westerly, to the Macon hills
where it will join a ridge that ex-
tends for a distance of thirteen
or fourteen miles in q nOrtherly
direction, and to overflow which will
require an elevation of eight feet
above usual high water. But long
before the water Oan get to such an
height, it will be higher than the
water in the Mississippi River and
there will be an outflow of water
back in to the Mississippi. This
viewiS concurred in by Maj lib.
Richardson chief State Engineer,
and should disarm all
opposition from Richland and
Ouachita parishes. There is, about
scheme, one very decidedly OBJ
jectionable proposition and that is
the tax on cotton. There should be
no tax on the products of the soil.
Tax the soil itself, on q basis of its
capacity to produce, but tax on
what it is made to produce, is all
wrong. There may be two adjoin-
ing plantations, with equal capaci-
ty Of production. One may be own
ed, and worked, by an intelligent,
energetic man, and made to pro-
duce two bales Of cotton to the acre
while the other, may be worked by
a thriftless man, and produce only
half a bale, or worse yet, the latter
place may not be worked at all and
so escape taxation. This is all
wrong, and in the line ofargument
used TO induce the Police Jury to
reduce the assessment on the Rail-
road.
Another thing about the tax on
cotton. The great bulk of cotton
raised in this section, is raised by
renters and share hands, and the
tax would be paid by them, which
is not just. Again, the owner of a
place may not cultivate il himself,
but lease it to another party. Where
would the burden fall in that case?
No, levecs are built to protect the
land from overflow. Let the land
pay for the protection. Iffve cents
an acre is not enough tax, make it
ten cents, but don't tax a mans
enterprise and industry, and there
by offer premium for Incidence
and shittlessness. 1t may also be
remarked, that every planter who
hires his labor, is also taxed un-
justly. The tax on cotton is in the
interest of the large land holder.
and the man who rents his land.
and they have too many advant-
ages already.
Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1886-06-12

The Legislature can distinguish
itself by passing an act to make
tax titles good. Lands sold for
taxes would bring better prices if
the titles could be depended on.

fitting success. Receipts, $182.

Deputy sheriff Shippam says that
when Paul and Herman Dill were
replaced in the lookup, after being
sentenced, Herman said: "Why
did they make me plead guilty. I
am not guilty" 1t was noticed
that when district attorney had fin
ished reading the new indict-
ment to Herman and asked the usual
question guilty or not guilty, the
boy answered "Not guilty" and his
attorney, Mr.. Purcell, sitting back of
him prompted him to say "guilty,"
and then the boy said guilty appar-
emily against his will. Paul answ-
cred promptly "guilty." We pre-
sumo the attorney had instructed
both boys to plead guilty in obedi-
ence to the compromise.
