L. S. U. AND TAX REFORM.
State University Professor Sums up
Evils of Present System and Ben
efits of Segregation.

Prof. William o. Scroggs, of the
Louisiana State University, whose
work requires him to study business
affairs and taxation, came out in
favor Of the segregation amendment,
which will be No. on the ballot, in
the University Bulletin for October
Mr.. Scroggs' article, which may be
obtained from the Louisiana State
University or the Governors office,
was thorough and exhaustive, answer
ing all the arguments so far advanc-
ed against the reform. His conclu-
sions were as follows.
l. The tax amendment should be
adopted. The existing system was
devised for an earlier epoch and has
0utliVed its usefulness All attempts
to patch it up are failures. Its de-
fects are inherent.
2. The amendment will eliminate
inequalities between parishes, be-
tween kinds of property, and between
individuals.
3. 1t abolishes the numerous So
called occupation taxes now levied
by the State, and retains the State
licenses only for businesses that re-
quire regulation.
4. 1t makes possible great i'm
proyement in the taxation Of real es-
tate by assessing land and buildings
separately, and by the listing of as
sessments geographically.
5. 1t offers home rule in matters
Of local taxation.
6. 1t will increase the revenues
Of the parishes and safeguard them
against any possible loss from the
change. This is done, too, without
increasing the taxes of the individ-
ual property owner.
Z. In recent years new forms Of
wealth have developed which the ex-
listing methods Of taxation have fail
ed to reach. The amendment will
tap these new souces and compel
them to contribute their quota Of
the expenses of government.
8. Under the present system hon
eSty is penalzed and mendacity re-
warded. The amendment will catch
the tax dodger, reduce the incentive
to defraud, and distribute the taxes
more in accordance with ability to
pay.
8. The retention of the existing
system means the perpetuation of the
grossest sort Of inequality, the con-
tmued imposition of the heaviest
burdens upon the weak and of the
lightest burdens upon the strong, the
cramping of the activities of the w.
rious public institutions, probable
raising of the tax rate, and a check
to advancing prosperity.
10. The States resources are fully
adequate, and it's wealth is steadily
increasing, but it's methods of secur-
ing funds for public uses have not
kept pace with its material develop
ment. With the adoption of the plan
of revision, the States resources will
be better organized and it's financial
administration will be conducted NOR
scientifically and with greater sim
plicity and justice. A vote for the
amendment is a vote for the promo
ton of every good interest of Louis
lana.

Gave New Rector Cemetery Key.

1t was a harmless deception that
was practiced on the Rev. Howard
Chandler Robbins when he was INSTALL
ed as rector of the Church OF the In
carnation, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Bishop Greer oficiated at the solemn
services, part of which provided that
the rector receive the key to his
church.
In his capacity as senior warden
this duty devolved on Francis Lynde
Stetson, the lawyer. He went through
the ceremony OF presentation with ap
propriate dignity. Bishop Greer
preached the sermon.
After the services came the discov
cry that the key presented to the new
rector was a key that formerly un
locked the gates Of an East side Gem
etery, now seldom used. The sextor
probably has a real key, anyway, sc
the rector never will be locked out.

become congested, and the distress n
sulting from the ruin was extreme.
This year has seen the practical COM
pletion OF the task that the Indus set
Itself out to accomplish. The river,
travelling with great rapidity inland on
the northern side, had destroyed at
the end OF the season the whole OF the
town, with the exception Of a tiny
corner in the southwest angle, as can
be seen in the accompanying diagram.
Till the bay that had thus been
formed was fully developed, sense
Of false security hung over the pretty
little civil station, which rested
amidst its splendid trees and date
palms within the protection afforded
by entertainments Of earth and brush
wood. Whatever fate might befall the
city, there was always the feeling
that It would take long to cover the
ground between the stream and the
environments However, the Indus has
not only advanced right on to the
Jail which lies between the civil sta
ton and the city, but has given proof
of its power to travel swiftly by NOV
ing westward over 500 yards within
one week. AS has been said it does
not persist in its curves and sweeps
for any prolonged time. Yet there is
no foretelling if any respite before a
change will come, or whether the re-
moval of a promontory may not be
followed by the formation of a deep
bay at the same spot.
So much for the action of the re-
morseless Indus. AS to the plight Of
the wretched inhabitants, who have
seen the ruin of their houses as well
as the valuable lands and orchards
hood, 1t is easy to realize the terrible
predicament in which they have been
involved. 1t has been a long-drawn-
out horror, extending over four years,
but the disaster, although one of
piecemeal ruin and not of catastrophe
suddenness, has been a complete one.
No lives and no personal effects have
been lost. but in the place of houses
and the valuable building sites naught
remains to their owners but the roof
timbers, doorways and other wood.
work, which will cost much to trans
port elsewhere.
AS to the homeless and dispos
sessed, on whom Khwaja Khlzar, the
god of rivers. has vented his displeas
ure, some have dispersed to start life
afresh In various trading centers In
the neighborhood. Others are slowly
taking up sites in new town thai
has been demarcated near Chorutta, 6
large village eight miles inland to
wards the rugged Baluch hills. Thii

and thus the town brought into ex
istence by the Baluch chieftain find
itself, when stricken to death, takinI
sanctuary where the hero himsel
came to his end.

II. r. Davis of lilo Pearl Street had
pitiful tale of woe for Mayor Hind
ley Tuesday morning.
Three peddlers, he said, called at his
home and told him their wagon had
broken down and that they had four
sacks of potatoes In order to get back
to the city minus the cargo of spuds,
they would part with them for 90 cents
a sack.
Although he didn It need any potatoes
at that time, Mr.. Davis said he was at
tracted by the reduced price, and after
looking at the top potatoes in one sack,

offered the trio of peddlers SO for the

made.
After the departure of the timer

Only the one he had been shown con

contained rotten and frozen spuds, and

Twenty-Five Lined Up.

Twenty-Five states have republican
governors, and all are accounted for in
the various statements of presidential
preferences as follows:
Declared for Taft, 8; claimed by
Taft, 3.
Declared for Roosevelt, z; declared
for La Toilette, /; preference not an
nounced, ..
The governors who have declared for
Roosevelt are: Glasseock, West Vir-
ginia; Aldrich, Nebraska; Bass, New
Hampshire; Osborne, Michigan; Stubs,
Kansas; Hadley, Missuri; Johnson.
California
Governor Carey of Wyoming signed
the governors letters" urging Colon
ell Roosevelt to become candidate,
but it is now asserted that he has re-
served Judgment. Neither has Govern
or Vessey of South Dakota, announced
his choice. The California executive
did not sign the letter, but has declar-
ed for the former president. Governor
McGovern. of Wisconsin, is committed
to La Toilette.
The nine governors who have come
out for President Taft take the posi-
ton that his record entities him to re-
nomination.
Developments Come Fast
Developments are coming thick and
fast in the presidential nomination
campaign.
Democratic belief that Colonel Roose-
welt will be the republican candidate
for the presidency has given rise to a
movement to postpone the democratic
national convention from the time orr

tional committee.

there be no fight for delegates in tho
