People returning from the big
camp meeting at Lake Arthur, say
that the plague of swamp mosquitoes
was SO bad that 1t almost broke up
the meetings, whic', were held in the
open air. Since the gulf storm sew

building will be two stories and the
work of putting it up will begin at
once.

Good Cotton in East Baton Rouge.

IOOO CUCUOu LII LfaSC DSttoA Aeous5o'
The condition of the cotton crop
Of East Baton Rouge Parish is much
better than throughout the state,
taking the figures of +.e State Board
of Agriculture and immigration as a
correct estimate of the generals con-
dition throughout Louisiana. The
department reports the condition Of
the cotton crop in Louisiana as 65
per cent, in comparison with the
stand Of Last yea. The cotton crop
is 35 per cent worse than last year,
and 1908 was a poor cotton year for
Louisiana. The cotton crop outlook
in East Baton Rouge Is not any
worse, If not little better than last
year.

Good Roads Conference to Meet.
Governor Sanders has arranged
the programme of the meeting of
the Good Roads Conference in Ba-
ton Rouge through two days, Aug.
- and 13. The meeting was call
ed for Aug. IL, but has been ex~
tended over to Aug. 13. The re-
duced rate offered by the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley road will be good
from anywhere in the State on that
line, while the Louisiana Railway
and Navigation Company's reduced
rates will be good from any point
on the road between Baton Rouge
and Angola.

Tax to Extend School System.

As expected there was but little
opposition against the levying OF a
2-mill tax for the purpose of build
ing additional schoolhouses and CIV
ing additional support to the pub
lie schools throughout the Parish OF
St. John. Only two dissenting votes
were cast, one In the Third Ward,
representing taxable property
amounting to s4,3S0. The majority
in favor of the passing Of the 2-mill
tax represents property valued at
s307,065 showing conclusfvely which
way was the trend of public senti-
ment and scoring decided and
overwhelming victory for education.

DEMANDS BIG TAX
FROM JACKSESTAT[
State Controller to Ask Payment
OF S450,OO0 From the
Company
Claim Made That Nevada Corr
poration Can Not Evade
Inheritance Rate

The famous Monterey ranches and
Jacks. multimillionaire, may become in
volved in one of the most interesting
civil suits ever filed by this state
against a corporation. Within short
time the state controller will demand
the payment of nearly 45o,00o-which
represents the unpaid collateral inherit
ance tax-from the David Jacks COM
pany, a corporation formed in Nevada,
the stock Of which is held by the Jacks
heirs. Mrs. Mary B. Jacks. the widow
is the principal stock holder.
If this demand is not needed the at
torney general plans to begin an action
to compel the payment of the money
contending that the David Jacks COM
pany was formed for the purpose of
evading the payment of the tax and
that the conveyances were made by
David Jacks in contemplation of death.
CLAIMS HIGHEST RATE
The state will further contend, if the
case is brought to trial. that the rate of
taxation to apply against the corpora
ton must be the highest. which will be
about 5 per cent of the s3 900. 900 which
represents the value of the property
conveyed to the corporation. Attorney
General Webb has stated that cor
poration formed as was the David Jacks
stands in the same light before the law
as a stranger who had been made
beneficiary in any conveyance made by
Jacks. Under the inheritance tax law
the rate of taxation levied against
strangers who are made grantees is
higher than the rate which is applied
to the close relatives of the grantor.
The fact that the corporation stands in
the light of stranger before the law
increased the tax rate from per cent
to 10 per cent. Had the property been
conveyed to the individual grantees.
who are related to Jacks, the tax rate
would have been smaller.
Webb said yesterday that If the state
should win the result would tend to
stop the practice of Incorporating for
the purpose of avading the payment of
inheritance taxes, which amount to con-
siderable sums.
VALUE OF BIG ESTATE
The David Jacks estate in Monterey
county consists of more than $4,000
acres of rich land. Jacks wealth came
to him through farming and the buying
of extensive tracts of land. In addition
to the so, 900 acres the estate has large
holdings in almost every county in the
state and the total value is estimated
at about S6.000,000.
For many years David Jacks was as
sociated in business with James Flood.
The firm transacted a general financial
business and loaned considerable money
for building purposes. With the funds
realized In this way Jacks acquired vast
tracts in Monterey. which have In
creased tenfold in value. In 1855 Jacks
tried to sell his Chualar ranch for rs
cents an acre, but none would pur-
chase. A few years later the price rose
to $3.50 an acre, and has undergone sim
liar increases since.

COMMISSION CALLS
FOR RAILWAY TARIFFS
State Board Acts Under Pro-
vision of Wright Bill

Acting under section Is OF the
Wright bill, which provides that all
railroads must file complete set Of
tariffs within specified time set, the
railroad commission at a special meet
ing yesterday ordered that all rail-
roads in the state file complete list
of their tariffs within 40 days.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of discussing the provisions of
the new bill, but on account of the alb
sence of Attorney General Webb most
Of the discussion was postponed until
a later date. The commission decided
TO confer with the attorney general
and get his opinion as to the meaning
of several of the sections. The meet
ing has been set for early next week
1t is possible that another special
meeting may be held this afternoon.
A conference in the office of G. w.
Luce, in an effort to adjust the differ
ence between the Southern Pacific and
several shippers, will be held this
morning, and if no adjustment is made
the commissioners may meet in their
own office in the afternoon to discuss
