THE GAUNTLET THROWN
To the Governor.
THE POLICE JURY RsFusEU TO
STAND FoRThE GOVERNORS
ASSESSMENT METHODS.

On last Tuesday morning the
Police Jury of this parish assem-
bled i'll their rooms at the Court
House, to sit as Board of Re
viewers of assessments. This is
required by an Act Of the Legisla'
ture, adopted in 1902; but the Act
also defines their powers, prescrib-
ing that the assessor may or may
not accept their suggestions in
matters Of assessments or equal
cations beyond his own Judgment
In case the assessor does not
agree with the Police Jury, the
only recourse the latter has is the
Courts of competent jurisdiction.
This makes of the Police Jury
merely an advisory board to the
Assessor.
Not forgetting that the Cover.
nor had caused the assessors of
the several parishes of the State
to assemble at central points,
where they held district conven
tiOns, as it were, some few months
ago; that these meetings were
executive in character; that it was
declared and fixed policy of the
State administration to increase
the assessments, under the dis
guise Of equalization, and that the
Assessors had been instructed
how to proceed in the premises;
that the property owners assess.
ment of his own holdings is in no
manner binding upon the asses
sor, beyond the Assessors judg-
ment or pleasure. the Police Jury
decided that it would be wrong
for them to sit any part of the
fifteen days, prescribed by the
law, drawing pay for a useless
service-absorb,ng the peoples
tax. money and rendering no com
mensurate service therefor.
The following resolution was
read; and on motion of Mr.. Migues,
seconded by Mr.. Boutte, was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved by the Police Jury of
Iberia Parish, assembled as
Board of Reviewers, that whereas
an unfavorahle season has serious
ly injured and now threatens the
obstruction Of the crops of corn,
cotton and cane Of the people Of
this parish. We deem II cruel and
unjust to add to their burdens
during a time of such calamity,
and therefore oppose any increase
of the assessments of the lands OF
this parish for 1905;
That whereas, by Act No
of 1902, we, the Police Jury, are
deprived of the power to fix. ad
just and equalize assessments,
thus subjecting our people to tax
alton without representation,
therefore,
Be it Resolved, That we refuse
to approve the assessment rolls Of
Iberia Parish for 1906, and leave
the responsibility for the increased
burdens, placed upon our people,
to the Assessor of Iberia parish
and to the Governor, who appoint
ed him and dictates his policy.

No threats were made. but huge revolver was
waved around in a most suggestive manner. and
Mrs Millrer decided to do her visitor desired.
AS the stranger roaming around the room MIR.

contrasted strangely with the grim look of the
revolver the visitor said:

won't make much noise, for it would disturb the
other people in the house. 1 just looking around

rings. They will do. Thanks, awfully, old fellow
AS he backed through the window, the revolver
still pointed at the occupants of the bed. the
stranger apologized for breaking the rest of his
hosts. and hoped they would be able to go back
to sleep again.
But they got up at once and went to the De
