Too Truthful.

Norman Hapgood. the dIstin-
guished journalist aud essayIst. was
discussing American newspapers.
1T is not enough that our papers
shall tell the truth he said. Truth
telling In Itself Is not particularly
wise nor praiseworthy. Indeed It Is
sometimes the reverse.
Thus young man called on a
young lady one spring morning very
early He had his automobile along.
He wanted TO give the young lady u
morning spin through the country.
"A little girl, the young lady's
niece, answered the bell
is your auntie in?' said the
young man.
Ives. sir said the little girl.
That's good. Where is she?' he
went on.
g She's up stairs said the little
girl. In her nightey, looking over
the balustrade.

Tkc NeW Year.

With the coming of the New
Year we desire to extend to all our
best wishes for success and pros
perity; but with the experience of
the year now passing to history,
we have new conditions to face
and a serious problem to solve.
That is to raise crops under these
new conditions, and raise them
successfully and renumerately.
This We can do if we start at it
right.
We should not look discoura-
ingly at the new conditions con-
fronting us, we must meet them,
we can do SO as well as other Sec
tions which have passed through
the same experience, aud We can
do even better, because our lands
aud our climate are better adap-
ted to the diversiication of crops.
We can grow successfully almost
any crop we wish here. and We
must grow a little of everything
that can be used on the farm and
bring quick cash on the market.
Our present trouble has been eau
sed by the single crop idea, cane
and cotton at the expense of every
other crop, including corn, the
most important aud first crop that
should be considered by the farm.
or.
The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture has expressed his views on
this subject aud he says our peo-
pie should not feel gloomy over
the present situation. cultivate
your crops intelligently and &C.
cording to the instructions given
you as necessary under boil vice.
vii conditions and a little diversi.
ticatlon and the country at the end
of the coming year, will be one Of
happiness and plenty.
Pluck, energy good will and de-
termination are the resolutions we
have to adopt for the coming year
aud with that and Intelligent farm
ing success. abundant success will
surely be the result.

School Idr Un
constitutional, Says Vac.
st. Landry Clarion.

St. Landry Clarion.
District Attorney Hubert N. Wax,
of East Baton Rouge. has given an
opinion that tho 3-mill tax which
the new law requires police juries
to appropriate for the support of
public schools is unconstitutional.
The same question was raised in
this parish, it will remembered,
when Parish Attorney Dubuisson
advised the police jury that this
same law was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Dubuisson was the first law
yer in the State to discover the
unconstitutiouality of tho law.
Says the Baton Rouge States:
district Attorney Hubert N.
Wax has given the police jury al
opinion in which he holds that the
law requiring the police jury to
set aside 3-milIs for the public
schools is unconstitutional.
1T is very likely that on tue
strength Of this opinion the police
jury will revise it's budget for 1909
aud make al appropriation for the
public schools, instead Of giving
them three mills. In the past the
parish has been giving the schools
an appropriation equal to Que aud
one-half mills.
THE following is the opinion of
District Attorney Wax:
ITO the Honorable President and
Members Of the Police Jury of
the Parish Of East Baton Rouge.
Gentlemen: - Iu response to
your inquiry for all opinion rs to
whether or not it is mandatory on
the police jury to levy Il minimum
tax of three mills on the dollar for
the support of the public schools,
as required by Act ~ of 1908, l
am of the opinion that it is not;
aud that the jury, in framing its
budget, may ignore the act aud
make such provision for the main.
taiuancs of The public schools az
it's funds permit
"My reason for this conclusion
is that the act, to The extent that
it seeks to compel the police jury
to levy not less than three mills
on the dollar for school purposes.
is unconstitutional. Article 254
of the Constitution, s,ipula,s that
the Legislature shall provide that
every parish may levy tax for
the public schools,' thus leaving
the levyiug Of the tax dis
cretionary with the police jury.
Therefore, when the Legislature
adopted law providing that no
police jury shall levy for the sup
port of it's schools less than three
mills on the dollar it exceeds it's
authority and acted ultra wires.
Under the power delegated TO
the Legislature by the Constitu-
ton, it could go no further than
to pass an act vesting the parishes
with the authority to levy the tax,
if they so desired, the use of the
word may determining that.
Therefore, when the Legislature,
by the use of the world shall
strives to make it compulsory on
the part of the parishes to levy
this three.mill tax, it attempts to
use power that it does not possess.
"While it is the duty of the DO.
lice jury to provide literally for
that essential public education, l
hold that under this Law you are
not compelled to devote as much |
as three mills of the parish tax to |
that purpose.
"Your judgment shall be your
