The provisions OF the amendment
requiring reimb ursement by the
parishes of incorporated towns which
suffer any loss Of revenue are to
be found in Article VIII Of Act No.
~, as officially promulgated in this
paper, and a careful reading OF the
article will show that ample safe
guards are. provided to prevent fl
nancial injury to any Of the towns
or parishes of the state by the
adoption of the new system OF tax
alton.
Donaldsonville, in common with all
other municipalities of the state not
exempt from parochial taxation, will
continue to receive this reimburse
ment from the parish until the year
1921, after which, to quote the Ian
guage of the act, no parish shall
levy any part of such six mills with
in the limit Of any incorporated mu-
nicipality. and such municipalities
shall be entitled to levy and collect
such six-mill tax for their own az
count
Section u the aat IS that
the property segregated to the state
shall continue to be subject to spe-
cial taxes now in force and also to
such additional special leyies as may
be legally made in the future, there
fore Donaldsonyille would be fully
protected in that direction.
The Chief finds no reason to alter
the conviction it has already ex-
pressed on this subject, that it is
to the interest of the people of As
cension parish and Donaldsonville
to give the tax amendment their
hearty and united support

THE TAX AMENDMENT.

There is food for thought and re
Election in the following clear-cut
statement from the Shreveport Jour
nal, which unquestionably presents
the situation with reference to the
pending tax amendment in Its true
light:
Those whom you will find OPP
posing the proposed constitutional
amendment may be CLASSIFIED as
either those who have not made dill
igent and careful study OF the plan
and its operation, and who are not
familiar with the system OF taxation
in ether states and reports Of various
tax commissions which have been
appointed to investigate the subject,
or those who represent special inter
ests, such as railroads and other large
corporations. The burdW of the
support of the state goyeX nment will
be largely placed upon ting shoulders
Of those corporations who are able
to bear it, and real estate and I'M
provements, as well as mercantile
business, farms, etc, will be entirely
exempt from state taxation his
proposed plan il not an experiment
ID any sense, but has been proven
successful in Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia
California and other states. Lou
isiana should keep abreHst OF the
times and take this adYfaanced step
as one of the progressive states OF the
Union by adopting the Lyoposed con
stitutional amendment.

Last week The Chief published the
official figures showing how the
operation of the proposed tax re-
form amendment Of the state consti-
tuition would affect the parish OF
Ascension, based on the assessment
rolls of 1911. From this demonstra-
ton it appears that the parish
would surrender to the states taxable
values aggregating s61S,964, yielding
$6,1S9.64 revenue from a ten-mill
levy, and would acquire the right TO
impose an additional six mills on
unsegregated property assessed at
3,479, 905. The product Of this levy
would be $40, 879.43, hence the par
ISL would make a net annual gain in
revenue of S14, 689.79.
The effect OF the proposed amend
ment upon the municipal revenues OF
Donaldsonville is shown in the fol
lowing statement:
