KILL THIS AMEND NENT.

An effort is being made through
ont the state to defeat the amend
ment to the Constitution that if
adopted would provide for a tax
upon religious burIdlugs styled
rectorles or parsUuigrs. u n
doubtedly the rectory or parsonage
is absolutely necessary for the
conduct Of the churches. The
pastor must have his residence aud
1t Is as much part Of HE actual
church property as is the edifice
for worship.
TO tax "A church is recognized as
being improper. Therefore the
proposition to tax the rpctories is
also improper. Amendment No. 2
is the one referred to. 1t does not
say in so many words that the rec
tories are to be taxed but applies
to taxation Of mortgages forgett-
ing to mention exceptions. AS
mortgage tax is in reality double
tax, the rectories should have been
exempted together with the other
exceptions. In some way this was
overlooked but this very fault
should kill the measure.
Most OF the proposed amend
ments have particular reference to
New Orleans and do not particu-
larly interest any Of the people ont
side of that city. Perhaps many will
vote the amendments in bunch,
but they should take particular
care to single out this one amend
ment and defeat 1T.

THE RICE MARKET.

New York, Oct. Am ac-
tive demand has prevailed dur
ing the week for all STYLES OF
Rice, both Honduras and Japan.
Arriving parcels are nearly all
sold ahead of receipt, hence spot
stocks are at minimum less than
at any equal period past five
years. Prices are firm, being
fully sustained by the condition
all through the Rice Belt.
AdviceS from the South note
enlarged receipts on the Allan
tic Coast, but waiting demand
readily absoTbs all offerings at
full prices. At New Orleans,
the market is up and there IS
little hope for any marked re
cession on Extra Fine White
good; this also applies to all
styles outside of Screenings.
Mills have been compelled to
shut down on account of light
receipts of rough rice. The
( mississippi River Crop is
practically all in, and is fully
100, 900 sacks short of early
estimates.
In the lnterlor-Southwest
Louisiana and Texas-weather
conditions for the past fortnight
have been abnormalIy untavora-
BILE, and the outlook for all late
rice is most unpromlslng. Re
cent rains have compelled en-
tire suspension of threshing,
hence receipts are light and will
be until clearing conditions
maintain. On the main crop,
quite Is per cent is still stand
ing and much of the grain shows
arrested develop ment. While
the acreage gave promise of
much larger yield than last
year, such anticipation are now
on the Wane.

Shreveport, La, Oct. a.
Saloon proprletors of Shreve-
port we're given tremendous
jolt yesterday in the nature of a
resolution passed by the Police
Jury of Caddo Parish providing
that the liquor license be in
creased from 81, 900 to 81, 500,
effective Jan. I, 1907. Thir-
teen of the fifteen members of
the Jury were present, and ten
of them voted for the higher
license.
The action Of the Police Ju-
rors is considered a sequel to
the recent municipal primary for
the nomination of Mayor of
Shreveport, and a severe rebuke
to and punishment of a big por-
ton of the saloonmen tor their
activity in the campaign.
The raising of the license is
also accepted as great victory
OF the ministers OF Shreveport,
for it was due to the efforts of
the local ministerial Association
that the measure was brought
up for consideration by the Po-
lice Jury.
