ton Of Louisiana Chat if 1922 cen

The amendments, as we have al

is due largely to the submission of
the proposed new tax system to the
voters. To change the constitution
SO as to put that system in opera
ton called for the passage OF eight
acts by the legislature at the extra
session, each Incorporating an amend

years. Eleven for the regular and

years to come will show the earnest
ness, purity of motives and common
sence of those of US who are striving
as they see. it to work for the best
interests of the south.
No living man could have been pres
ent in Chicago, to have personally
been with both of these candidates,
to have talked with them and listen
ed to tEeil speeches, that came di-
rect FROM the heart, without being
deeply impressed by their sincerity
and earnest desire to work heart and
soul for the reforms outlined in the
Progressive platform.
The closing statement Of Roose-
#velt's pledge to the people, In his id
dress OF acceptance, is:
And, friends, with all my heart
and soul, with every particle of high
purpose that there is in me,
pledge you my word to do everything
/ can, to put every particle of cour-
age, of common sence and strength
that I have, at your disposal, and
to endeaVor, SO far as strength is
given me, to live up to the obliga-
tons you have put on me, and to
endeayor to carry out in the inter-
ests of our whole people the policies
10 which you have to-day solemnly
dedicated yourselves to the millions
of men and women for whom you
speak"
My friends, implicitly believe in,
the honesty, sincerity and absolute
truth of every word of that state
ment, and to the limit of their abil-
ity believe that Roosevelt and John
son ill work heart and soul for the
best interests of the people of Loui-
siana, of the South and Of the MAJ
ton, and if you join with me in this
belief, urge that you show it practi-
cally by voting on Nov. 5 for the
electors of the Progressive Party, in
structing them to cast the electoral
vote of Louisiana for these fearless
champions of the peoples rights.

The eight amenments relating

/ The eight amenments relating to
| the proposed new tax system are:
IL. Allowing parishes and munich
palities to exempt industrial enter
prlses, etc, from taxation.
13. Exempting from taxation cor
porations organized to lend money on
country real estate.
/ IA. Exempting from taxation all
money on hand or on deposit.
/ Is. Exempting from taxation homes
/ to the amount of $4,000.
| l6. Establishing a referendum to
determine whether cities or incorpor-
ated places shall be exempted from
parochial taxation.
II. Exempting from taxation new
canals for Irrigation, navigation and
power purposes.
! Is. Exempting from taxation the
legal reserve Of life insurance com
panies.
49, Recognizing and remodeling
the states system of taxation and
assessment This is the important
provision of the new tax system. The
act upon which it is based goes into
all the details Of the plan-the seq
regatien Of property for state and
parish taxation, the creation of the
tax commission. etc.
It can readily be seen that the vo-
tiers have large amount of legisla-
ton to consider in the November
election. Every care has been or
will be taken to make the voters ac-
quainted with the amendments upon
which they are to vote, their purpose
and effect. These amendments will
be published in at least one paper in
every parish We doubt if more than
an infinitesimal fraction of the vo-
tiers, however, will ever read them,
Tor they are clothed in legal phras
eology, and are very drearv reading.
In Oregon a copy of all the amend
ments is sent to each voter together
with two articles, one showing the
merits of the proposed amendments,
what they will accomplish; and the
other, il there are any objections,
pointing them out. The idea is to
have every voter understand thorough
ly from both points of view the ques-
ton at issue and upon which he is
voting.
louisiana is IN no position to do
this; but there will be a complete
discussion OF the tax law, as it is a |
matter difficult to understand, and
which oughtsto be fully explained. 1t |
is understood that lectures will be
delivered on this subject, and that
Gov. Hall WILL within a short time,
speak on this subject before the New
Orleans Progressive Union, while
other members of the tax commits
sion will help in the campaign. The
Times-Demoerat contains today an
article on the subject from Prof Aid
rich, member of the commission,
and will give other short articles
from day today. It is hoped in these
several ways to have the voters fully
understand the subject and be placed I
in a position toN vote intelligently
thereon. It's a matter of too much
to trifle with or lay be-
fore the voters in the heIter-sklter
way usually adopted in dealing with
CONSTITUTE naI amendments. We want
the intelligent Judgment of the voters
given in faHor Of the new system,
for this poptldas baeking will do much
ID contribute to its success.

Death of Major Harrod.

5sippi River Commission and member
of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
died at his home in New Orleans,
Sept. Z, aged Is years. He had
been i'll for some time from cancer
of the throat, hence his death was
not unexpected. Though twice mar
ried, he was Widower and left no
children. He served with distinc-
ton as Confederate soldier and
military engineer, and subsequently
rose to the head Of his profession in
civil life.

managers of the Taft campaign are
showing as the battle for the presi-
dental nomination nears a close. They
are today concentrating all energies on
Ohio. They are leaving no stone un-

are preparing to do their duty at

they are still justified in maintaining
this attitude of hopefulness. Unless
they lose Ohio they have no reason for
regarding themselves as defeated, and

MAKING Good. .

Here is ali idea worth passing along
We find it in the Women's Home Com
panion for June. We offer it in sum-
mary for what it is worth, believing
that some of our local boy scouts would
| find it picnic to accomplish Just What
two gritty city boys did by way OF
| winning the sanction of their father 10
a camping trip in Maine. He made
them practice camping for two weeks
in the back yard of their city home.
| under tile strictest rules possible. The
boys' ages are given as IA and 16 years.
We believe many of our boy readers
will read the story eagerly.
Two boys wanted badly to join a
party going camping in Maine. Their
father. skeptical. but willing to be
shown provided them the outfit. His
stipulation was that they camp two
weeks in their own back yard. During
tthat time they were not to enter the
house save for a half-hour every even
| ling. Wien they were to come and re-
port. This half-hour was called the
daily letter and it was to be employed
in telling the things which would be
put in a letter were they really away
from home. They We're not to ask for
aid, nor take anything from the house.
nor purchase or have given them. at
any time during the two weeks, any
thing which they had forgotten in ar
ranging their camp. because in the
woods such aid and comfort could not
be obtained.
tTney arranged to pitch camp on
certain day, at noon. Their goods and
chattles were all in the house at the
time.
Noon of the day set showed a down.
pour of rain. and their mother begged
them TO wait, but their father held
them to their agreement So the boys
took their outfit out in the yard Their
first step was to pile everything on one
end of the rubber blanket and cover il
with the other end. Their next was to
pitch the tent. And they had provided
no tent pegs So Fred took the ak
| and went to the wood-pile, only to be
| recalled by Bob, who pointed out to
| him that Maine camps had no wood
piles. So Fred toiled half mile
through the rain. to the woods ON the
outskirts Of the city, and brought back
tent-pegs.
AT the end of the two weeks. the
boys gravely took down their tent,
packed it up, put out their fire, and
loaded their bough drag with their
goods and ehattels. and came the fifty
foot distance to their own back door.
i'hey were brown as Indians, healthy
as boys could be, somewhat grimy as
10 clothes and torn as to skin, but they
had conquered their two weeks. had
not asked for nor received any help.
and month later they went with their
party tie Maine for six long weeks of
real camping"
