remain subject to special taxes levie
by the local authorities.
Mr.. Hart says also that the tax com
mission would be the only body havin,
the authority to order an election t.
vote special tax affecting the proper
ty segregated to the State. The amend
ment does not so provide. The con
trary is true. The authority to ordel
an election for a special tax will res
where it is now, and that is, with the
local authorities. The people woult
have almost absolute home rule in the
matter of assessment and taxation.
That is what they need and want.
Mr.. Hart says that the amendment is
an acknowledged plan drawn by Mr..
Farrar," whom he characterizes as
lone of the greatest corporation attor-
neys of the State" Now, Mr.. Hart
knows, or should know, that the amend
ment is the result of the earnest and
patriotic work of the men who compos-
ed the tax commission and the members
of the General Assembly. The commits
sion was composed of as good and pa
triotic men as can be found anywhere
in any State. Besides Mr.. Farrar,
there appear the names of such eminent
citizens as Hon. O. o. Provosty, Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court;
Hon. T. C. Barrett, Lieutenant Cover
nor; Hon. Leon R. Smith, Senator;
Hon. Robert Roberts, Jr., a represent
alive; Hon. r. B. Butler, represent
alive; DIR. Nelson A. Aldrich, Profess
sor of Economics at Tulane University;
Hon. 0. B. Steele; Hon. L. E. Thorn
as, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives; and many others whose
names might be mentioned but for the
lack of space.
Again, out of los members of the
House, but very few voted against
the amendment, among the few being
Mr.. Hart. There were only three votes
against it in the Senate.
Could any sensible man believe that |
,lan formulated and voted for by such |
men is a scheme by which to rob and |
'ppress the people of the State? The
that such is true is too alb
urd to be worthy of any discussion.
The people of the parish of Grant
night well have been told that the chief
pposition to the plan, the proposed
egregation amendment, comes from
pecial interests and others who have
cen lodging taxes for years, and thus
hrowing the burden on the farmers
nd others who could not or would not
onceal their property.
The proposed plan is not new and un-
lied. 1t has been in existence in some
the States for more than twenty
ears and has worked most satisfactory
:. 1t is being adopted by all progress
We States as the best, fairest and
ost just system.

that the exclusive combination was not
all that Mary needed. When she un-
dertook to keep Johns house her school
course did not function, that's all.
Now / ask you, in all calmness and
fairness, what is the sense of such a
system of education as this? What is
the use of it? What are we paving
our good money for? What can we ex-
pect of our children so long as the pres
ent stupid system is allowed to go on
and on, either running millions of our
children altogether, or making them
incompetent, or, at the very best, only
partly competent; whereas it would be
so easy to make the American public
school system of to-day the greatest
practical good in the lives of our Ameri-
canVouth, fitting them for their Jobs
in life?
How can it be done? That is for
other pens to, say, and The Ladies'
Home Journal / understand, has en-
gagged the pens to say it.
But one thing must come first, before
any suggestions can wisely be made
for the reorganization of the public
school system: the American parent
must fully awaken to the truth that in
the American public-school he has not
to glorify or be proud of,
but system that is to-day a shame to
America, system that is antiquated,
absolutely out of touch with the times.
md, therefore, stupid and wholly inef- |
'ective. For every one hundred child |
ZEN it teaches it fails in the case of |
very ninety-tf1ree to give the children
What they should have and to which
hey have an indisputable right: prac-
lcal preparation for their lives. This
ne system, as at present conducted,
Utterly fails to do, and in that respect
is the most momentous and danger
US failure in our American life to-day.

1t is thus clearly seen that withou,
increasing the taxes of the parish OF
Grant one cent beyond what it paws un.
der the present system, the parish will
receive, under the proposed system.
$l5.bSO. 20 more than the taxes on the
property surrendered to the State. The
parish will therefore be gamer by sI5.-
5000. If the parish should not deem
it necessary to levy a greater tax than
the ten mills now allowed by law, the
peoples taxes would be reduced six
mills, which will be the amount of the
State tax levied under the present svs-
TEN. 20
This statement is absolutely correct
and any one who advises the people of
the parish of Grant to vote against the
amendment, tells them, in effect to
vote against their own interests.
One of Mr.. Harris objections is that
the proposed plan means the loss to the
schools of the parish of the special
school taxes on the railroads and other
segregated property. The amendment
expressly and unequivocally declares to
the Contrary. The same is true of the
special road tax, which forms the basis
q another objection from Mr.. Hart. |

property taken for State taxation, is to |
