TAXATION.
Contributed.

Taxation is necessity, it in
sures order, peace and tranquility.
1t should be eight, but it should
be sufficient to provide means to
support the Government and i'm
prove the country. In all ages
the people have complained OF
Taxation, principally because they
do not study enough the needs OF
Governments and because Govern
ment officials and employees are
too highly paid. The latter is
true to great extent; For why
should q man be paid $500 month
to keep Government books, when
the same man would be we'll plea
sed and we'll paid at 500 q month,
why should our Sheriffs and our
Clerks be paid such exhorbitant
fees, as to enable them to subdi-
vide those fees with two or three
others, who perform Office duties,
while they remain at leisure?
Why should q Government en-
ployee be paid moro money than
he could otherwise make as an in
dividual! Hence the complaint of
tax payers they see very little d.
rect good in paying taxes and ma
turally complain. But such is not
the case with Act No. IL of the
Legislature of 1900. It reduces
the Assessors salary from 4 to 2
per cent 1t wisely selects as COM
missioners the largest tax payers
in the District. These commits
sioners are not paid. It creates
no Office which is a sinecure. The
taxes remain in the District in
which they are paid. They are to
be spent solely and for no other
purpose than to drain the lands
therein. It means that the Creeks,
Bsyous and all main drains in q
District will be opened at the ex-
pense of every tax payers in pro-
portion to the land he owns there
in. No one would undertake to
do that alone. It means that tax
money is disbursed by the CON-
missioners who must reside in the
District, each of whom must own
land assessed for at least $1,000.
The good of such taxation is seen
and felt at home at once. For
that reason the law is q good and
popular one.
With Portage Guidry, Portage
Dauterieve, Bayou Tortue, Bayou
Capucin, Bayou Course and the
Coulees leading to said Bsyous
opened and cleaned, those sections
of St Martin Parish will wear q
new garb. It will not only add
wealth to the residents of Dis
trict but will also make said Dis
trict more healthful. Tax payers;
your tax money goes right back
to you in improvements. None Of
it goes to highly paid officers.

the rights and happiness of the
people ought to have some other
name. The word is too often used
merely to designate q high deve-
lopment of knowledge, skill, and
the power to adapt the resources
of nature to the uses of man. Thus
an invention for destroying hu-
man life and multiplying human
misery is as ponderous in weigh
ing the civilization of q people or
country as the invention of an an
ti-toxine for. smallpox or bubonic
plague, or the building and en-
dowment of charity hospitals or
halls of learning. If q man per-
fects q method, or machine capa-
BILE of killing and manning large
number of people in q short space
of time, or a submarine engine Co.

all on board, whether men, wo-
man or children, him the nstion
honors and rewards. If this is
really civilization. would not the
world be better off with less of e?
Suppose u man of marked ability,
fox-like cunning and total depra-
witty, starts out in life with q de-
termination to Cypress, cheat and
plumber his follows, and by means
of his superior knowledge. sue
cesds in his base designs, until ia
bilious wealth and all the sordid
pleasures of earth are his, is he
therefore more civilized than the
poor laborer, who with the fear of
God before his eyes and the love
of his fellowman in his heart, adds
something, little though it be. to
the sum Of human hsppinessf
This may be the civilization Of
Christian nations, but it is not
Christian civilization, for Christ
taught love, forbesrance, charity,
not strife, avsrice. and violence,
for individuals and nations. In 90
far as people or nations violate
these teaching, they are acting in
direct antagonism TO true Chris
tisnity, and to true civilization.
The acts of q nation are the ex-
pressions Of. the true character of
its people. If the people are real
ly controlled by Christian princi-
Piles, the nations of which they are
constituent parts, viii refrain from
murder, robbery, arson and OPP
preston. At the present time we
see nearly all the alleged Chris
tian nations engaged in q whole
sale robbery of a heather nation,
the killing of her people, and the
destruction of her goods; and the
alleged Christian nations do not
hes.-ate to wreak destruction upon
each other, when it becomes ne
cessary to kill in order. to rob.
This is actually being done in
Africa and in the Asiastic islands,
by two. of the highly civilized
Christian nations of the earth.
What BODIES i'll to all, the earth,
and from which no good can come,
is the fact that those who assume
to teach Christianity endorse these
crimes against humanity. What
the world needs at the present
time is . civilization that civilisee
and q Christianity that Christian
