Owing to the strong southwest wind and the consequent turbulent sea, with the accompanying severe rain storm of Sunday. the steamer Block Island omitted the trip to Watch Hill and Block Island. The steamer proceeded from Norwich to New London and re- mained at her berth ip that harbor, leaving in time to continue regular trip from Norwich Monday morning. Steamer Westerly abandoned the pro posed excursion from Westerly to Ocean beach for the same cause. The rain interfered materially with the natural Sunday trolley traffic and but comparatively few enjoyed the concert at the Atlantic beach casino and the magnificent marine picture that can be viewed from that new resort. The storm of Sunday made the view even more attractive and the high surf struck the new seawall at the casino for the first time. The wall is concave and as the high waves dashed against 1t the cOmbers were sent back seaward, the spray spreading for a long dis tance.

AuO AoI uSE duu OLQ0r SU8
tax payers benefit most by tn
proposed tax reform becaus
they have suffered most fror
the inequalities aud abuses of th,
present system, which has mad
Louisiana a paradise for tax doda
ing corporations and other con
Germs that can conceal thei,
wealth or the true value of thei,
property. The farmer cannot
conceal his property. He i.
therefore taxed on it all, whether
assessments in his parish be higl
or low. The present inequalit,
between one man and another in
the same parish, which in some
cases has resulted on one man
paying twice the taxes of an
other on property of the same
value. will be wiped out by the
provisions of the amendment.
The situation created by the tai
reform amendment is admirable
from the point of view of the
farmer, both p ersonally and a
the beneficiary of the services
performed by the parish and
state governments. These as
sertions are easily proved from
the facts without any complicated
argument. Most of the parishes
levy the full 10 mills permitted
by the constitution. The state
tax. once six mills, is now five
mills. Fund tax is one-ifth
mill. As the other special taxes
are not IN any way affected by
the tax reform amendments,
they need not be considered.
The farmer Is therefore paying q
totalin taxes affected by the
amendment of 1920 mills.
This is Of course, less in the
parishes that levy less1 1than 10]
mills.
The new tax for the Confed-
crate Pension Fund raises their
tax from : fifth to : whole mill
There i not ths slightest doubt
n the mind Of any reasonable
person that Louisiana will vote
this one mill tax for the old
soldiers. It is therefore certain
that II the tax reform amend.
ment be dsfeated and the Con.
federate Pensions tax added to
the farmers present taxes, be
viii pay four.ffths Of : mill
That will make Z total Of sixteen
and nefourth mills.
Il is therefore plainly evident
that sixteen and one fourth mills |
win be the farmers taxes, not
considering the special parish
taxes for roads and schools. etc!
The tax reform amendment
permits the parishes 70 levy their |
10 mills and full six mills state
tax for their own benefit. The /
parishes are therefore allowed
% levy 10 mills for their own
purposes. IN the parishes that !
% not levy the fill 10 mills to-

10 the. future. But the differ. |
Ducs q . quarter Of Z mill rel
