SUIT FILED TOO LATE

Judge William Campbell, presiding
in the case of N. Abramson versus c..
G. Larrabee, Thursday decided that
both intervenors, Mr.. and Mrs. c. G..
Larrabee, had filed their claims for
homestead exemption too late. This
case had been pending in the district
court for several months and is of in
terest inasmuch as it brings up the
question as to when a homestead
claim should be made. The property
of the intervenor, C. G. Larrabee, was
seized and sold under executory pro-
cess and after the sale both Mr.. and
Mrs. c. G. Larrabee made claims for
homestead exemptions, which were
to-day decided by Judge Campbell as
having been filed too late. An ap-
peal will be taken to the supreme
court for final decision

A number of my friends have asked
me to publish my reasons for support
ing the Segregation Tax Plan, or
Amendment Number One. take
pleasure in doing SO now.
Let me state in the beginning, first,
that l view this whole question as one
OF public welfare and not merely us a
financial measure, because public rev.
enue is valuable only as means to the
well-being of every individual COM
posing the State or community; and,
secondly, l have an abiding faith in
the inherent honesty and good intent
of my fellow-man.
Tax Amendment Number One will
effectually equaliZe taxation as be-
tween the farmer, the small proper
ty holder and the person of average
means on the one hand, and the
banks, railroads, telegraph, telephone,
express and other public service cor
pOratiOns, on the other hand, with
the result that the burden of taxa
ton will be borne where it fairly be-
longs instead of bearing down upon
the weak and struggling producing
class of citizens as now unjustly oc-
ours under the existing system of as
sessment and taxation in Louisiana.
The Segregation Plan will work in
the interest of the whole people with
out imposing undue or unfair con-
ditions on any particular class Of
property or of individuals, and this
can not be accomplished in any other
way than through the segregation
and classification of property.
The New Tax Plan does not dis
turb the standing of any special tax
es already in effect and does not ex-
empt from special taxes in the future
any property segregated to the State.
Without making any change whatev-
er either in the present assessment
or rate OF taxation in the city and
parish of Lafayette We can vote a
special road tax to be collected both
ON local property and on property
segregated to the State ! have as
oertained that there is no doubt
about this fact is so far as it relates
TO the city and parish Of Lafayette.
The same thing is true as regards
tax Lafayette may vote for sewerage
or for any other public improvement
that Lafayette is not obligated to
take care of out of its regular ali
nOny.
Any law or public measure which
will promote and assure the welfare
Of the farmer and the producing class
Of citizens is bound to be beneficial
TO the people as whole, because
