TERRIBLE TWENTY-TWOS

\ correspondent of the Pensacola
Journal writes the following, which
has a bearing on the present contro-
versy regarding the slaughter of birds:
The first thing that should be done
is to pass a law making it unlawful
for any one to own a p calibre rifle,
as they are the cause of the death of
more harmless and insect eating birds
than all other guns combined. AS a
usual thing boys take the little % out
and as they are unable to find any
game birds to kill they shoot every
thing that gets in their way, and about
the first thing they see is that old do
mestic mOcking bird that was so near
and dear to our grandfathers. If my
old grandfather had seen or known of
me killing one of them he would have
given me a thrashing that l never
could have forgotten. But not so to-
day Fathers and grandfathers will
buy the boys a rifle and then stand by
and see the youngsters take down the
sweet-vOiced singer, and then brag
about what fine shot he made. But
it does not stop at the mocking birds
1t is every kind that they can get
near enough to, and every now and
then one of the little fellows kills an
other. boy"
Every boy wants gun, and the Star
thinks every boy should be given
gun, and taught how to use it. Instead
of passing another fool law, it would
be better to teach the boys not to
shoot at the harmless and useful birds.

of the State, together with un-

tho accomplishment of auy reform

The Amendments.

Iberia parish have issued tho fol-
lowing, brief and clear remarks
concerning tho tax amendments
TO ALL VOTERS
The tax amendments now before
tho people for adoption or rejec-
ton, will, if adopted, mark one Of
the greatest forward stops in the
history Of Louisiana. In the firm
belief that their defeat would
prove q most serious check to the
States prosperity, and would con-
tinus in effect the many injustices
of the present tax laws, We earnest
ly invite your cooperation, and
your vote to secure their adoption.
As reasons for your SO doing,
We submit tho following -
First:-Undsr tho plan propos-
Cd, your lands, Improvements and
personally will pay no taxes to tho
State. The revenues for the State
will be derived chiefly from taxes
on railroads. banks, mines inherit
ance, aud some other subjects So
grsgated for that purpose.
Hence, all taxes to DO paid by
you will be collected and spent 10.
cally. under your supervision, for
the maintenance of order and the
enhancement of the property, Of
yourself and your neighbors.
Second:-It is shown by official
reports that some parishes assess
property on a basis moro than
twice a. great as do other Parish
o.; 80 that a dollar Of value in the
Quo pays moro tran twice a. great
Q tax to the State 40 does the same
value in tho other Parish. For
example, a mulo in one Parish 10
assessed at $4,000. while his twin
brother across the Parish line may
be assessed at $4,000 or less. Put
in another form, If tho owner of
the latter pays the State six mill
tax, tho owner of tho former real.
ly pays twelve mil s or moro.
Tho same is equally true a. to
your lands and other property.
Under the proposed plan you
will pay nothing to the State and
tho assessments in other Parishee
will not affect you.
Third:-Ths taxes which NAV
be imposed on your property will
be limited by the Constitution and
cannot be raised beyond the az.
grsgate now permitted.
Fourth: - Assessments are now
made alphabetically, and there il
little opportunity to compare ones
assessment with his neighbor's
The new plan will arrange as.
sessments geographically; that is
properties adjacent on the ground
will be adjacent on the rolls. These
rolls will be published in pam.
phlsts for distribution, and inc.
qualities and errors will be readi.
ly corrected.
Fifth:-At present all money i.
