TAXATION IN .lhlIINNE
HOW EACH DOLLAR PAID m TAX.
Es Is DIVIDED BETWEEN TIE +:
STATE AND IT'S sUBDIvBIols

ny As explained in q previous article,
there are five independent taxing
powers under our system Of govern!
nent-the state, the county, the town
and the village or city, and the school
districts. Under certain limitations each
of these units Of government has the
power to determine how much money
it needs for the proper discharge fits
functions. These amounts are certified
Ito the county auditor The auditor
computes the rate of levy necessary to
[produce the required revenue for each
district and extends; the tax according
|ly. The county treasurer collects the
entire tax and pays each respective
unit the proportion due it.; :; : - =
While the average taxpayer knows
Just how much money he paid for tax
es last year, comparatively few know
how much Of such amount went to each
unit Of government; and for what pur-
poses it was used. It is the: purpose of
this article to explain briefly how each
dollar paid in taxes is divided between
tha state and it's various sub divisions.
} The total tax levy for 1911 Tor all
lpurposes-state, county and local, ex-
elusive Of special assessments for local
improvements in cities and villages,
amounted to $34,034,658. The levy for
the different units Of government was
as follows:
State, exclusive Of schools
and university ...........$3, 953, 057
Counties .. ............ 6,232,86O
Towns .. ................. 1906, 0lO
Cities and villages ......... 9,178,998
|! Schools and university .....1l, zoo, 1888
Total .....$34,034, 658
What portion Of one dollar paid in
taxes went to each Of the different
units of government, taking the state
as a whole, is readily ascertained by
| applying the old "rule of three,' 'or
simple proportion. We thus find that of
each dollar Of taxes paid into county
, treasures, the state received liz cents,
the county 1871 cents, the town 81
cents, the cities and villages q cents,
and the schools and university 34h
cents.
It is interesting to note that Of each
dollar paid in taxes practically 88h
cents are collected for local purposes,
while only liz cents go into the state
treasury, and nearly all of this amount
finds its way back into the local dis
tricts in state appropriations for roads
and bridges and other purposes.
In 1910, Of the IS counties of the
state, II received more money from the
state treasury than they contributed
to the state in taxes.
A subsequent article will show the
particular purposes for which each dol.
lar Of taxes is spent, and who SPEND
it; also the amount of revenue derived
by the state from gross earnings and
other special taxes and what is done
with it. 49,

.SHEPPARD'S VISIT
RELATIVE TO DAM
INSPECTS SITE OF DETAIL OF
DRAINAGE PLAN
Some Objection to Closing Twelve
Mile Bayou on Grouds OF Inter-
ference With Waterway
Project.

For the purpose of making
personal inspection of conditions
relative to the Shreveport effer
son waterway project, in which
he is greatly interested, and also
with respect to the Caddo Levee
Board drainage project, which
is connected to a greater or less
extent with the waterway project
Senator elect Morris Sheppard,
of Texarkana, spent yesterday
in Shreveport. He was accom-
panied by ex- Mayor B. F. Sher-
rell and M. j. Whelan of Jeffer-
son.
Accompanied by w. e. Glas-
sell, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, and DR.. S. A.
Dickson, president of the Caddo
Levee Board, the visitors mo-
tOred to the scene of the dam
the Levee Board proposes to
build across the mouth of Twelve
Mile Bayou, inspecting the re-
Gently completed good road"
on the way. This dam is a part
of the Levee Boards drainage
system by which it expects to
reclaim large tracts of land in
Caddo above Shreveport and is
objected to, in some degree, by
the proponents and hackers of
the waterway project as inter.
feripg with the completion of the
channel.
In explaining the object of the
Congressman's visit yesterday,
DR.. Dickson said:
1t appears to be Mr.. Shep-
pard's idea that if the Levee
Board is permitted to cut the
proposed channel connecting
Twelve Mile and Cross Bayous
and close the present mouth of
Twelve Mile Bayou the Govern.
ment might abandon his, Shep.
pard's plan for navigation be
tween Shreveport and Jefferson
on account OF the increased ex-
pense, which would be consid.
cradle.
IL is my position. and the
Ieyee Board that Congress
man Sheppard's fears are rather
FETCHED. Twelve Mile Bayou
as !. is, is not navigable and IL
the Levee Board digs ia canal
between the two IL viii give the
government a better chance If

sired future navigation between

we arrived at no thorough
understanding but from what
was said it became apparent to
me that if it is necessary to
sacrifice the Levee boards drain
age plan, Congressman Shep-
pard would not hesitate to do so.
! also believe that the Congress
man hopes to be member OF
Rivers and Harbors Committee
under the Wilson administration
and use his efforts in behalf of

ton project. > Shreveport Nov.

Miss Alice Emmert
Dear Madame:-Time is at hand
for us to arrange for conducting
the Girls Canning Club Work
for another year. We deem il
necessary to make some changes
in the financial management OF
the work, due to the fact that
only a limited amount of money
is available for conducting the
work. The lady agent should be
employed for longer period OF
time in order to do efficient work
and large number of counties
are asking for the work. 1t is
our desire to extend the work as
much as possible on the given
amount of money allotted.
We are in position to APP
propriate the sum of S112.5O on
the salary OF a lady agent in your
county and ask that your county
raise like amount to make to-
tai Of 1925. 90 for the lady agent,
who will be employed three
months on basis of $500 per
month She will devote three
months time at such seasons as
will be advisable for the efficien
cy of the work.
| suggest that a committee of
the Local y. s. Demonstration
Agents, County School Super
intendts, Secretaries of CONNER
cial Clubs and the County
Judge act on the proposition
stated, and let me know as soon
as convenient whether it will be
possible for you to raise the
$l12.50. We prefer to continue
the work in the counties where
the work is now being conducted
where it is possible to do so.
am also writing to the others
mentioned on the suggested on
the committee.
Hoping TO hear from you soon,

MIR. r. n. RHOAD CUT.
Prominent Farmer of Hunters Chap
ell Section Seriously Injured.

Mr.. Thomas n. Rhoad, a brother
of Mr. w. D. Rhoad, and son OF
Mr.. n. B. Rhoad, prominent young
farmer about 25 years old, who lives
in the Hunters Chapel section of this
county, was seriously cut early Mon
day morning by one of the colored Ia
borers on his farm by the name OF
John Carter. Mr.. Rhoad was cut
four times, twice in the back, once
in the left arm, and once in the right
side, the wound in the right side be-
ing the most serious. =
1t seems that Mr.. Rhoad had two
little negro boys whom he fed from
the kitchen, their mother and father
being dead, and that Monday morn
ing he sent them to the cotton patch
nearby to pick cotton right after
breakfast, and soon after he went tc
the patch ito see how the work was
progressing, and when he reached the
cotton patch the boys were not there
and he then returned to a negro
house where he found both of them
also two negro men, one of whom
was Carter. He started to whip the
larger one of the boys when the 9TH
er negro man present had something
to say about it, and Mr.. Rhoad struck
him a lick over the head with the
handle of a rake, which was lying
nearby, and as he did so John Car
ter had something to say about it
also, and when he did Mr.. Rhoad
made a lick at him, when the negro,
who was standing in the piazza of the
house, jumped out and cut Mr.. Rhoad
before he could defend himself.
AS soon as he cut Mr.. Rhoad he
made his way off, going through the
woods, and so far has not been seen
since.
Physicians from Branchville were
summoned and gave Mr.. Rhoad medl-
cal attention, and at this writing 1t
is impossible to tell what the result
will be, as the wound in the side is
a very serious one.
It is said that Carter and the other
negro had been drunk all day Sunday
and were still under the influence OF
whiskey Monday morning, being very
mouthy. He is said to have been a
very good hand.
