The voters of the State of Lou
isiana will be called upon on the
9th day of November to vote on
the adoption Of twelve proposed
amendments to the Constitution
of theState. Six of hese amend
ments are of local nature and OF
direct interest to local sections,
the other six the whole people
are interested in and are as fol-
lows:
4. To increase the salary OF
the Attorney General from three
to FIVE thousand dollars.
,. To add a new judge in the
First District (Caddo parish) at
a salary of three thousand dol
lars.
8. Provides for two separate
courts to be known as the Court
of Appeals and designated as
the First and Second Circuits, to
be composed of three judges
each, six judges, at a salary OF
four thousand dollars per year.
The same article provides for an
increase in the salaries of the
judges of the Court of Appeals in
the parish of Orleans from four
thousand to FIVE thousand dollars
q year.
o. Provides for an increase in
the salaries OF the district Judges
who are getting less than three
thousand dollars to that amount
per year.
II. Authorizes the employ
ment of Female Factory Inspec-
tors throughout the state.
I2. Exempting from taxation
certain mortgages etc. and plac-
ing on the tax rolls parsonages
and other property now exempt.
The amendments will be pre-
scented on the ticket in the fol-
lowing order:
I. Authorizing the city of New
Orleans to issue eight millions of
bonds. This is local measure
in which only the people of New
Orleans are interested, still the
voters of the entire state have to
vote on il.
2. Authorizes the city of New
Orleans to issue bonds for the
payment of the back salaries of
teachers to the amount of one
hundred and seventy-four thous-
and. six hundred and sixty-two

5. Increases the salary of the
Attorney General from three to
live thousand dollars annually.
This the whole state is interested
IN. The present salary was fixed
by the constitution of 1879 and
We have had fairly good service.
We caa not see the necessity for
this extraordinary increase.
4. Provides for the election of
che assessors and tax collectors
in the parish of Orleans. This is
as it should be. They are now
appointed by the Governor.
5. Authorizing the criminal
judges in the city of New Orleans
