TAX REFORM LEGISLATION,

The constitutional amendments
proposed by the Tax Commission, and
now before the Legislature, are
trembling in the balance. as there
are many absences from the House
and there is question whether a
sufficient number will be found to
pass them. The Senate is cOnsid-
cred reasonably sure. What is de-.
nominated insurgency has developed
in the House relative to the election
or appointment of the tax commis-
son, provided for by these amend
ments. The apple of discord was
thrown by Representative Price. and
seems to be attractive to anti-ad-
mlhlstratlon men and some admin
lslration men. l.. E. Thomas is said
to be for an elective tax commits
sion. Whether regarded as 2 hit at
the Governor or not, it can hardly be
considered so, as the treasurer and
the auditor, the other two officials.
to whom it is proposed to give the
appomtive power, are not of his fac
tion. Those persons, who have en-
tire faith that the people choose
wisely nine times out of ten, or at
least seven times, are disposed to-
wards an elective tax commission.

Mrs, Elrie Robinson begs to in

stuff on the New Advocate that she
had no newspaper interests in East
Feliciana at the time of "the famous
row. referred to, and therefore nev.

controversy. But had she differed
with Mr.. D. C. Scarborough then, it
would not be impossible to agree
with him nOw,-if he be in the right.
Similarly, Mrs. Robinson we'll re-
members that she supported Mr..
Harris in his unfortunate affair with
the East Baton Rouge School Board,
but that does not constitute a rea-

Judge Breaux has not said to what
charities he will devote his salary,
but he has intimated that he will so
devote it, if he be returned to the
Supreme Bench. Judge Breaux is a
wealthy man and can afford to make
UGH disposition of his salary, but
such a statement is taking an unfair
advantage Of his opponents. 1t is
also wrong in principle. No one
doubts how Judge Breaux would re.
gard such procedure if it came be-
fore him as judge on the bench

The State Board of Education has
made A C. Bernard inspector CT
high schools, displacing Leo Favrot
against whom Mr.. Zach Spearing had
"a grip full of letters of complaints. "
Mr.. c. J. Brown, inspector of rural
schools, was retained, as it is said,
that no complaints had been made of
him. The Board provides for a mum.
Der of agricultural schools, and do
nestle science departments in high

superintendent to have no other oc.
cupation save supervision of the
schools, will be rigidly enforced. The
law makes only one exception, and
that is, where a parish has less
than thirty schools, the superintend
ent can serve as principal of these
schools.

Somebody should get up a book Oh
telephone etiquette. 1t should sell
and if carefully followed would add
much to the pleasant amenities of the
wire. Gertrude says that the rule
she would make is that no one on a
party line would listen to the con-
Versation of others on that wire. This
is already provided for in the gener-
al canOnS of good moral and gentle
manners, and it is sad that spec.
ial necessity exists for such a rule on
the wires.
Perhaps the most important cues
ton is how to conclude a converse
ton, who shall be the first to saw
goodbye? In OUR opinion, the one
who rings up, and although in some
cases he is like some guests slow
to depart still the initiative must rest
with him, for when the second partv
says goodbye and rings off a dis
tlnct snub is conveyed, whether SO
intended or not.

also is playing a game of pretend. "

AFTER FOUR YEGGMEN

Four secret service men, assigned

them in running down the four yegg-
men who broke into and robbed the
Perth Amboy postoffice at o'clock
Thursday morning of $4,000 worth

the automobile in which the men
made their escape was recovered at
Newark and found to contain the
stolen postage stamps In a small
mail pouch. The robbers are still at
large.
The fact that the four secret SER

In running down the thieves. whether
1t be in a week, q month or even q

Postmaster William Pfeiffer,
whose Office was robbed, told q

that they will be apprehended. 1t is
known that the postal authorities do
not suspect any "secono-s crv" men
Of this city or vicinity Of the robbery,
but are positive that the work was
done by New York men who have
made a study of postoffice Jobs for a
near-lifetime. The glycerine was
used with such expert knowledge
that all second-class robbers are ex-
cluded from the men suspicioned of
having some knowledge of the crime.

made their escape, has been identi-
