OPPOSITION TO The
TAX AMENDMENT

Here and there throughout the
State strong opposition is devel-
veloping to the tax revision
scheme in the form Of several
constitutional amendments on
which the people are to vote in
the November election. The
grounds Of opposition are just
exactly what The Times said
some time ago they would be,
viz: That the reforms sought to
be written into the measures
were iIEeonsidered and hastily
devised; that they contain serious
defects; that the people have not
been and cannot be fully inform
ed on the merits of the PROPOSE
tion in the short time left in
which to discuss them: and that
we cannot afford to experiment
in a matter Of such great. import
ance.
In the opinion of The Times it
is as inevitable as that night fol
lows day that the General As
sembly will be called upon two
years hence, if this tax revision
plan goes through, to altar and
supplement the legislation now
pending with other constitutional
amendments that will be found
necessary to make the plan at all
workable. So in the end the eff
fort to solve the tax problem will
probably prove more troublesome
and more expensive than a con-
stitutional convention.
One of the questions that is
pertinent and the one in which
the people of Louisiana are most
deeply interested is whether or
not their taxes will be increased
There have been some more or
less vague assurances on this
point, but nothing is known as to
the definite effects of the plan in
this respect. If, after the
amendments areadopted the peo-
pie will find that their tax bur
bens have increased, they will
discover when too late that it is
extremely difficult If not impos-
sibIe to obtain relief.
Under the proposed segrega-
tiou plan some of the parishes
and municipalities will lose
sources of taxation on which they
have heretofore largely depended
for revenue and it is a question
whether these losses can be met
except by adding to the burdens
of the individual taxpayer. Thus
Shreveport will lose the street
railway company and other taxa
able property. We have yet to
learn that Shreveao md Caddo
parish viii benefit from the
change benefit not only at this
time but in the future.
It is not difficult to see, IN
what is actually proposed as well
as in the powers thpt are speci-
feally reserved to the Legisla-
ture, that the interests of the
State treasury have been placed
before the interests of the local
treasures. The tendency is tot
strip the local taxing powers for
the benefit of the State treasury
and thus compel high rates of To-
cal taYation in order to make up
for the deficiency.
The Times is convinced that the
people should have more time in
which to study the necessary
changes in our tax assessment
laws. Not only this, but the
people should be consulted and
have more to do with any plan
that is devised than they have
had with the changes now pro-
posed. Shreveport Times.

HOUSEHOLD MINTS,


 Dear Editor and Sisters: As one sis- ter spoke of pie recipe l sent, thought l would try another letter.
 Many thanks, Bluebird. your word of praise is highly appreciated.
 Here are few hints I thought very good:
 To clean white oiIcIoth that has be- come stained, rub with raw potato.
 For removing mildew: About two ta- blespoOns of chloride of lime dissolved in a gallon of boiling water. poured into a half tub of cold water Now let garment soak a few hours. turning frequently. Will remove the worst mildeW l ever saw.
 For old cracked window curtains: Their youth may be renewed by lavin,, on floor and painting with oil paint tcomes in small cans first one side drying that and turning.
 IrotNng board slips are more con- venient when made to slip on board and tie with tape, instead of pinning or tacking.
 For finger marks on doors try cloth dipped In kerosene oil. Saves the paint and patience,
 For brass that is tarnished: Fine wood ashes moistened with water will polish nicely.
 For blankets that have shrunk from washing cut in two and lengthen with a harmonizing shade of outing flannel, feather stitching a fiat seam
 Here is a cheap yet pretty Christ mas present. Has to be seen to be appreciated: From a ten cent Turkish towel cut a circle the size of dinner plate, one the size if tea plate, and one the size of a saucer. Crochet sin gle crochet all around. of any shade preferred. Lavender or pink are very pretty. Now sew on row of white shells and then two rows Of colored shells, ruffing the last two rows Hope some of these hints find favor

ments, one for kindlings, one for wood, painted dark green.
 Oh, I can tell you, Sisters and Brothers, it makes a splendid seat - add a pillow, a splendid bed. Words alone cannot describe this magnificent Social Corner woodbox-like all things in our Corner, it is great. All l can now say is for one and all to go and do likewise-get your seat picked out on the WoodboX.
 I must tell you what else l saw at Ready stack of postcards - one from each and all.
 Mas black cat, which. by the way, cut a pattern from, would go well for Christmas-nice for children's school boxes. I will tell you how, Sisters. so you can make some, too Cut out or velvet or black broadcloth a cat; tie narrow baby ribbon about the cats neck: paste some bristles on each side of heat. The eat is supposed to be sitting with his back towards you. This back is a pen wiper.
 Frank: Ready has ble eyes, blue silk dress and a very pretty blue jabot to go with dress and eyes. Montville: I saw the taJten you made for Ready. It was very pretty. After a while we would a riding go, so we stopped at Sweet Williams. had chance to sec her three beautiful children and Jim. We had some can ned music; wish you could have been there. Besides the tea we had some Social Corner CAoking; but I think l. l would be nice to have Ready tell the rest.
 On the way home we stopped and called on Theoda. Should loved to have called on AuntY and Married ani Happy. Sorry I couldn't get started soon enough to have attended her july | time. Please accept my regrets. Aunt Mehitable, Biddy. Pink Rose

MODERN WoopMEN,

The Modern Woodmea Bulletin Tn its first October issue has the follow ing to say in explanation o1 the rate controversy within the Modern Wood men of America:
 Reduced to It's lowest possible terms the Modern WcOdmen rate question is the question of whether the mem bers should be rated at entry age or er attained age.
 This Is a question tbe society is entitled O decide from the standpoint of Its own interest, unless the member has a legal claim arising from his contract, or an equitable claim arising from a contribution exceeding what it has cH~s the society to carry men of bis class and leaving q profit which should in justice be applied for his benefit
 No legal claim arising from the contract is admitted. With respect 1o equity. the situation is that the older members have contributed no part of the surplus now in the hands of the sccie.y. This represents a part of the excess contributions Of the younger members. The payment of death losses among members og their respective ages has consumed al the older members have contributed tc the benefit fund and more.
 lf what the older npInDc~s have cone to build up the society has ere afed q f-aternal obligation. thc aO- ciety has sought ro diseha~rc !, by making to them the most l!terd con cesxion consistent with it's ofER safe ty. l. proposes to load rates for younger members in order tAaz is may carry the older Eef1beT1 at ratsa which VIII crealr a darc.ercy cf ee5oe. eco in the4- contributions f their CeTIfcotts EGtu~c acsrrJirg to the Modem NDo.ua, r;orlaAty table
