Let Us Test The Lac.

The Sheriff is now collecting a
two mill school tax and four mill
criminal tax in this town, both
taxes, we believe, illegal.
The Constitution protects the
parish and town tax payers with a
limit of ten mills and State five
mills. The school and criminal
taxes must come out of the ten
mill limit, no tax above that limit
can be imposed except by the peo-
pie themselves by special election.
We call upon the tax payers of
this town to meet next week and
take up this important matter. If
we need more money for the Town
or the School, consult the tax
payers, aud let them by special
election decide whether they favor
that or not, we have submitted too
long to unjust and illegal taxation n.

1t is reported that there will be
no saloon or liquor license taken
at Parks and Cade the coming
year. The separation of the IL
cense for white and negroes is
what will kill the grog shops in
the country. After the first of
next year the Sheriff and his de-
puties will have to keep a close
watch on the blind tigers, as we
believe they will be every where
in the parish. Prohibition and
high license close the legal shops,
but help the blind tigers Look
out for them.

4 Case for Investigation.

We publish in this issue, in full,
the reasons and judgment of the
District Court in the CASE of Gau-
thier vs. Laperuse.
We cannot reconcile the closing
paragraphs of the Court, who
draws an ugly picture of the case
by going into details and at the
conclusion white washes the COM
missioners.
The notes of evidence and the
Judgment should bring censure
and condemnation upon those who
are responsible for the result of
this election.
Court itself says 1t Is mot right
and should be condemned; are re-
probated by law; The Courts will
not approve such conducts; they
bring disrepute and contempt up
on the primary aud general cleo
ton laws; To be thus knitted by
the very men one should look to
for support etc.
The acts of the Commissioners
have been wrong and illegal and
they have deprived the voters, the
people Of their representative Sc
lected and elected by them by i'm
posing upon them a man who had
no legal right to be a candidate,
they have deprived Mr.. Gauthier
of his right and forced him to go
to the Court for redress, caused
him annoyance and to make large
money expenses. Those guilty for
this should be called to account.
The honorable gentleman who
opens his store on Sunday COM
mits no fraud or crime, but he
violates the law and is fined aud
reprimanded. The honorable eeu-
tleman who sells whiskey on Sun
day commits no fraud or crime,
but he is hauled before the Court
and fined and given lecture.
The honorable gentleman who
carries ,ncealed weapon is drag
ged before the Grand Jury and
Court and given Il fine no. less
than 500 and yet he committed
b no frauu or crime, but be violated
the law.
The honorable gentleman who
conducts saloon without H.
cense commits no fraud or crime,
but the Grand Jury investigate
HE action and brings him before
the Court for having violated the
law and he is geneI ally fined 500.
Why should not the violaturs Of

right and his office be made to an.

Arbitrary Taration.

ted by the Police Jury and pub
lished last week, We have studied
this budget and come to the con-
clusion that the Police Jury is
oversteppiDg it's powers and impo-
sing upon the Corporations taxes
that it has no right to impose.
The parish levies a school tax of
three mills which if levied, should
be by the Town authorities and
not by the Parish. The Town
Charter says that the Parish shall
collect no tax from the Town.
The criminal tax imposed by the
Parish over the Towns is arbitrs-
ry, unjust and illegal, for the rea-
son that it is nearly one hundred
per cent more than it should be
and we call upon the Town autho-
rites and the tax payers to como
together aud resist through the
Courts, the payment of those ar
bitrary and unjust taxes.
According to tho parish budget
the criminal expenses of the pa
IRISH are as follows
Court and Jail 100000
Jurors and witnesses 10000
Sheriff's salary 100000
Coronor's salary $4,000
Justices and constables 10000
Jury commissioners 5000
Total criminal expenses $8,01O,OO0
The assessment OF the pa
IRISH Is 2,96O,OO6,OO
The Towns of St. Martin
vile, Breaux Bridge aud
Parks 655,35O,O0
Total assessment $3,615,356 90
Four mills criminal tax on an
assessment of S3,615,356,OO
amounts to Sl4, 81.
This shows that the parish is
collecting So, 451, AZ more criminal
taxes that it's budget calls for or
nearly one hundred per cent more
than is necessary to meet the cri-
minal expenses of the parish, and
this surplus 70 to the parish aud
not to the towns.
This is unjust, arbitrary aud
illegal and the tax payers should
resist this imposition.
We also desire to call the atten-
ton of the Grand Jury to the cri-
minal expenses, we believe they
are excessive and contrary to law,
if the Police Jury followed the
law the present estimate might be
cut down nearly fifty per cent.
The Court and Jail expenses are
extravagant and can be greatly re-
duced if the law is followed in
stead of giving illegal contracts.
We doubt that the Justices and
Constables earn the money that is
paid them. We believe there is
too much looseness aud generosity
OH the part of the Police Jury
which should be stopped 10y the
Grand Jury.
We ask that the Grand Jury H.
vestigate the Police Jury affairs
and see that they are strictly car
ried on according to the law.
The people are being over-bur-
dened with taxes, and they should
rise aud demand a stop, aud now
