PENSION BOARD MEETS
New Tax Not Vet Effective-No
Change Made In Old Roll.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-The State Board Of
Pension Commissioners met her last
week. State Auditor Capdeville, ex-
officio member Of the board, called at
tention to the fact that the special
one-mill Confederate tax amendment
ratified by the people November 5 is
not effective until 1913, and is not
collectable until after the filing of the
tax rolls of 1913. Many had been
under the impression that the tax was
collectable now and available for use
by the pension board at the quarter.
Until this one-mill tax is available the
board will depend upon the present ap-
preparation and the revenue from the
one-fifth of a mill. The amount for
the pensions will not be changed at
this meeting and no additional names
will be added.

Negligence in Reporting Returns
CompIicates Matters.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Shreveport.-Onem man receiving the
highest number of votes, but his op-
ponent getting the commission be-
cause one of the boxes was not Off
cially returned, is the puZzling situa-
ton growing out of the contest in the
Eighth Ward of Caddo parish for the
office of justice of the peace, in which
Walter Jacobs and II. NJ. Sutton were
candidates. Jacobs received the high
est number of ballots polled in the two
precincts, Forbing and Caspiana, but
Sutton got the commission, due to the
failure of the election commissioners
to present the returns TO Chairman w.
H. Scheen, of the board of supervisors.
1t was q race for successor to the late
Judge B. r. Jacobs, father of Walter
Jacobs, who resigned as constable TO
make the race at the last election.
The vote stood: Forbing, Jacobs {,
Sutton 8; Caspiana, Jacobs 16, Sutton
6. Jacobs had nine majority, but the
lack of returns from Caspiana caused
Sutton to be declared elected. A court
battle is expected.

TO STOP WASTE OF GAS
Cooperation Between Conservation
Commission and Owners.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Shreveport.-At conference among
whom were President NJ. l.. Alexander,
of the State Conservation Commits
sion; representatives of various oil
and gas interests. including former
Governor Blanchard. it wGs decided
that President w. E. Glassell, Of
the Chamber of Commerce. who pre-
sided, appoint committee of nine oil
and gas men to prepare rules and
regulations for checking the enormous
and Indifferent waste of gas in the
Caddo oil field. The committee will
report January 10, and then the Con-
servation Commission will appoint an
expert inspector to spend all his time
in the field to see that the law is
obeyed.
Mr.. Alexander appealed for the Co
operation of the oil and gas operators,
30 as to have as little friction as pos
sible. If this cooperation is ncS
granted, however, the commission will
act independently, for it has determin-
ed, with the law behind it, to stop
this waste of one of Louisiana's big
gest assets.
Governor Blanchard and others
thanked the commission for its spirit
of fairness and predicted that the
necessary cooperation would be fur
nished. as all the operators realized
the danger of the wastefulness. 1t de-
veloped that the principal waste is not
from the use of gas in bringing in oil
wells, but wild and burning wells, un-
necessary opening of wells and other
reckless practices also cause big
drains on the supply.
