Death Of R. B. williams.

A telegram from Natchitoches in.
forms US that r. B. Williams died al
his home in that city at noon on Thurs
day, Oct. 81, 1912. ''Rich' Williams,
as he was Familiarity known to hundreds
of friends, was noted character in all
this part of Louisiana. He was in his
83d year. He was wonderfully active
and successful business man up to
about three years ago, when he was
stricken with paralysis, from which he
never recovered. For some years he
conducted a mercantile business in
WINFIELD, which he moved to Mont
gomery some time in the seventies. In
1865 he was Recorder of VIM parish,
and in 1870 he was treasurer of that
parish. In 1879 he was elected as a
member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton from Grant parish. He always
took a lively interest in public affairs,
both State and parish.

Longest Ballot Ever. Used in State.

Longest Ballot Ever. Used in State.
The ballot to be used in the
election next Tuesday will be the
longest ever used in this State,
and is said to be as long as any
ever used in any of the States.
1t will be about a yard and a hall
in length. unless it is put in two
columns and its length shortened
by being doubled in some way,
and this looks like it is impracti-
cal, because of the four tickets
for national electors.
There will be nineteen amend
ments, five more than ever be-
fore, four lists of electors, one
Congressman, three Supreme
Court Justices, railroad commits
sioners, judges of districts and
circuits, besides other local can
didates to make up the total. 1t
will take the average voter three
minutes to cast his vote, and the
commissioners and clerks of cleo
ton will have a big job in making
the count and fixing up the re-
turns. At boxes where a big
vote is cast it is thought it will
take two days, and in some cases
possibly three days to make the
count.
Yes, the ballot is both big and
important, and every voter should
be sure to take a hand in the
election. Come out and cast
your ballot for Woodrow Wilson
electors, and put yourself on rec
ord in all of the important issues
to be decided. You can save
time in voting for the Democrat
ic ticket by simply stamping the
rooster, but to vote for or against
the amendments each amend
ment must be stamped or mark
ed with cross (X) separately.

Objections to the Tax Amendment.

Objections to the Tax Amendment.
lit menaces progress and
prosperity by restricting estab-
lished enterprises and repelling
and discouraging others that
want to come into the State.
2-It creates a political oligar-
chy and takes the power of local
control from the hands of the
people.
3-In principle it is unsound,
as it destroys home rule and
places too much power in the
hands of irresponsible legislators.
4-Unequal assessments are
expressly authorized by law.
Sit discriminates against
most of the parishes. and the
timber parishes will especially be
made to face heavy deficits.
6 The figures sent out by the
tax commission are unreliable
and misleading, and in nearly
every case where tested are
founded incorrect.
THE scheme is unfair, and
its inevitable effect will be to de-
plete the treasures of the local
communities.
8-The rates on State taxed
and locally taxed property will
not be equal under the proposed
law.
discrimination exists with
in the amendment itself: Article
l, section 81 "The General As
sembly shall have power : = to
adopt different rules and rates
for the different classes. /"
10-Assessments will be I'M
equal.
1.-THE drastic inheritance tax
is especially Objectionable, in
that it burdens worthy benevo-
lences and will drive capital
away.
1.-THE law is proved to be of
hasty preparation, imperfect in
its provisions, and impractical
in application.

Stamp the rooster in order to
save time when you go to vote,
but you must stamp for or against
each amendment if you want to
vote on them. Where the amend

commissioners will not count any
thing as to the amendments thus
left blank.

The people of Calcasieu ask for
the adoption of the amendment
(article 109) to give the 18th Ju-
dicial District two judges. This
appears to be just and necessary,
since Calcasieu has been divided
into four parishes, and with Cam
eron added the district now has
five courts to be attended, and it
requires two judges to hold the
necessary terms of district court.

The Times-Democrat admits
that there are imperfections and
defects in the proposed tax
amendments, but it says the peo-

how, and then they could correct
the defects later along by other
amendments. This is a bright,
business-like proposition.

Our Position on the Amendments.

Our ositiOn on the Amendments.
On account of sickness in the
editors family and a general
crowd of business for the past
six weeks, it has been impossible
to give the nineteen proposed
amendments the editorial consid-
Grafton we intended to give them.
After thorough reading OF
the entire lot, we have concluded
to vote foi' fourteen of the amend
ments, and against five of them.
For the convenience of our read
ers we this week publish in an
ether column a synopsis of the
amendments, so each voter can
g; in a knowledge of each propo-
ton at glance without taking
tie time and trouble to read the
long propositions as they are
Deing advertised.
1t is not necessary to take up
time in telling why we favor
fourteen of the amendments, but
we feel it duty to designate
which five we oppose, and to give
our reasons for so doing.
No. 3-Providing for the recall
is Objectionable in it's exceptions,
and the time and manner of ap-
plying the recall.
No. 9-Providing for a sinking
fund to meet the State debt is
Objectionable because it is linked
with the State debt amendment.
and empowers the board of lioui-
dalton to pay debts unjustly sad
died upon the people.
No. 14-Exempting money on
hand or on deposit from taxation
Is UNJUST, because money is the
representative of all property,
and should bear its share of tax
e..
No. 10 xempting $4,000. 90
homes from taxation is impracti-
cal in its provisions, and would
not benefit the worthy in it's
workings.
No. 19-To segregate the State
and parish sources of revenue.
This is commonly known as the
tax amendment. It is very
lengthy and complicated in its
provisions. While seemingly fair
and promising in its provisions. |
IN effect it confers too much pow- |
er on a commission of three men. |
ana the result Of its adoption |
would add to the tax burdens of !
the people.
In regrad to this last tax
amendment, we were opposed
to it from the start, but the large |
number of eminent gentlemen
who favored it were so imposing
In array, and so persistent IN -.
advocacy, that we were almost |
persuaded to favor it simply up-
on their representations. AL
closer study of the subject, how
ever shows that the defects and
OBJECTIONS to the plan far out
weigh and out number the favor
! points its friends urge in its
behalf.
Taking this view of the subject.
we shall vote against this amend.
ment, and this facti is stated here.
