is a great help to the present road
funds.
The present system of the road tax
in the parish of Lafayette is a half
century behind the times-for example:
| have authority to state that Messrs.
Judice x Son of Scott: La, had two
poor labOring mel who owned nothing
but an old second hand buggy and a
Creole pony that they had to pay $50
per capita tax and vehicle tax. when
Messrs. JUDGE Il Son who own from
fifty to one hundred thousand dollars
worth of real estate only paid $50
road tax. The above is a fair sample
of our present system of road tax
throughout the parish. | claim that
in justice and equal rights to the peo-
pie and parish that every company,
corporation or person, not exempt by
law owning property or real estate in
the parish should pay their just and
equal share of the road tax.
1t matters not who they are. cid or
young. male or female. absentee or o.
cupant, they all have the benefits Of
the roads. such as they are, the roads
have been built by the poor labOring
class of people, they have cost the rich
comparatively nothing.
The time has come when we must
adopt a nor up-tO-date system of
taxation for road purposes.
The Police Jurors say they have no
authority to levy a special road tax
on land " real estate property. If
this is correct | think that it is the
duty of every man who has the welfare
and prosperity of the parish at heart,
to petition the legislature to pass an
act or law giving the Police Juries the
power or authority to levy a special
road tax on all land, real estate and
personal property owned in the par
ish. Such laws have been passed in
many other States, and they a be
passed here. The majority of our up
to-date progressive men would vote
for it, if their neighbors we're compell-
ed to pay their just share of the tax.
Our Police Jurors, as a rule. are
chosen from the best and most intelli-
gent business class of men of the par
ish. There will be no danger of their
betraying the trust or authority he
slowed upon them by the Legislature.

TheStage


The ClanSman was presented
at the Jefferson theatre Sunday
night 30 a full house. every seat
was filled and many had to
stand. The play is a historical
one and deals with events Just
after the war. The scene is laid
in South Carolina during the time
of negro and carpet bag rule.
The play is a very strong one,
probably one of the strongest
on the American stage today.
The development of the play is
followed with intense interest
from the beginning, and old
theatre gOers state that they
were aroused by the play as very
few plays can arouse them. AS
a play The Clansman is a sue
cess, both as an attraction, draw
ing big audiences. and as a drama
presenting a period of history
in which the strongest emotions
were stirred to their depths.
But there is a question as to the
wisdom of presenting the play.
However, this need not be con-
sidered as the play is being pre-
scented and will draw big houses
wherever it shows.

plays which appeal to the heart.

gagement here is for one night

Few viii dissent to the first two
items. The American eats too
much. Probably nine out of ten of
US never know the pangs of real

fire half our physicians, close half
our drug stores, and add two-score
years to our average life at a clip.
But we shall get into trouble try

What is play? Is the thing set for

1t is good to read that more than

body TO jamestown. They cannot
fail to return impressed with the
advantages OF advertising by the
means exemplifed at the exposi-
ton But the excursion would be
valuable to the city if it consisted
only of a trip down the river for
three days.
Washington needs more acquaint-
ance among its tradesmen, more
friendship, and more cooperation.
1t has made slow commercial prog
ress largely because it has lacked
team work. Every such trip as this,
or that taken by the Chamber of
Commerce last June, brings nearer
