THE TAX COMMISSION.

The Tax Commission, whose ses-
sions have been held in Baton
Rouge, have progressed practically
in outlining of plans through which
an up-to-date system of assessment
for taxation is to be provided.
The Louisiana system OF assess
ment of taxation is antiquated. The
carriers of the burden who are the
limited of means, with home,
should be relieved at least little,
and those who have escaped, or
have evaded their just share, should
be made to conform to the law.
The Tax Commission will have
earned the everlasting gratitude OF
the State when they shall have de-
yised the ways and means OF reach
ing the equitable solution OF honest
assessment for fair taxation OF all
properties, visible and invisible.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

AS forecasted recently in the Cau-
casian, Governor L. E. Hall has is
sued his call for an extra session of
the General Assembly of the State
of Louisiana. The extra session is to
be held in the City of Baton Rouge
and is limited to fifteen days and to
the consideration of amendments to
the Constitution covering revision
of the methods of assessment and
taxation in Louisiana.
The system which prevails today
is not only unsatisfactory, but it is
misleading and operates against the
welfare of the State. What is need
ed is a system that will respond to
the requirements of today.
The extra session beginning on
Monday, August i2, will be confined
to the consideration of three objects
enumerated \in Governor Halls
proclamation as follows:
4. The formulation and submis
sion of an amendment or amend
ments to the Constitution remodel
ing and reOrganizing the States sys-
tenn of assessment and taxation.
2. The enactment of legislation
authorizing the continuance Of the
present Tax Commission, or a COM
mittee thereof, to aid the General
Assembly in framing the legislation
required to carry into effect the
amendments to be submitted for
ratification at the general election
to be held November 5, 1912.
3. To make provision for the pay
ment of the per diem and mileage
of the members. of the General AS
sembly for attendance upon the ex-
traordinary session, of the expenses
of the said session and of such ex-
penses as may be incurred by the
continuance of the Tax Commission,
or committee thereof, and to de-
fray the cost of publishing the pro-
posed constitutional amendments, ii
necessary, without reference to the
existing printing laws.

improved Election Methods.

New Orleans Times-Democra
The decision of the board of elec-
tion supervisors, on the petition of
the executive committee of the
Democratic Good Government
League, that in future no candidate
for office or Office holder shall be
chosen as election commissioners,
judges or clerks-is one that will
meet with universal approval: and
should, indeed, have been adopted
years ago. Let US hope that the new
rule will be extended to the pri-
mary elections also, where the same
arguments exist against allowing
candidates to act as judges on their
own elections, and against employ
ing the time of State or city Off
cials. which belongs to the State or
city, in partisan, factional or other
political work of the bosses.
