A Talented Young Man.

Among the talented young men who
graduated from the academic depart
ment of Tulane University at the an
nual commencement exercises of that

the handsome son of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
E. Blum, of this city: Young Blum

and was educated at ST. Joseph s Com
mercial Institute, where he graduated
in 1904. In September of the same
year he entered Tulane University and
took up the literary course, making a
remarkable record for scholarship
and application and graduating with
distinction. The Chief joins his many
friends in congratulating him upon
the successful completion of his
studies, and predicts for him a brill
liant future in the practice of law, the
study of which profession he intends
TO pursue next year.

building last Saturday afternoon, is
still under way and will continue un-

Our Road System.

st. Amant, La, May 81, 1908.
For years, the road tax payers of
Ascension parish have been clamoring
for revised and more perfect road
system.
The present system operates rank
injustice upon the overburdened tax
payers. 1t favors too much the in
dividual whose vehicle is on the pub
lie highway for private gain day in
and day out the whole year round.
On the other hand, upon the more
private Che less favored) citizen,
the farmer, falls the bulk of taxation.
This policy should by all means be
reversed. The individual or firm that
operates vehicles in -a~public line of
business should bemade to contribute
to 1.-THE mainten anee of the public road
beds in proportion to it's services
thereon.
An ordinance which tolerates pub
lie haulers to mutilate the roads; which
tolerates log wagons to tear down
bridges, devastating public property in
general, and exacts of these public
highwaymen tax of only twenty five
per cent in excess OF that of the aver
age traveller, badly needs revision.
The powers authorizing the police
jury to deal with our road system are,
too limited. Our state constitution
in empowering this parochial body to
levy the road license should have
extended the scope of the vehicle
license. The tax should range from
about fifty cents to at least five dol
lars, instead of being barred off at the
extremely low price of one dollar.
Such a system would be more per-
feet one. Such system would draw
dividing line between the ever at
home worker and the public carrier.
The duty Of improving the public
road system being incumbent upon the
police jury, it should submit to the
state legislature an amendment 10 ar
ticIe POI of our state constitution,
thereby broadening the scope as above
stated.
This action should not be any longer
postponed. The road tax payers an
ticipate it. Public sentiment every
where heartily favors a better system.
Let our police jury act immediate "
If possible and submit the move to the
present session of the general assem-
bly,. Let our aw-making body at
once take up the matter and establish
an equitable. system that will relieve
the burdened road tax payers.
