THE TAX AMENDMENT.

The eight amendments relative to the
proposed new tax system are Nos. IL to 49,
They can be found in this issue of the Ban
ner, and should be carefully read, that the
voter may vote intelligently on the matter
presented for his consideration. Read
them for your yourself, and do your own
thinking and voting, is our advice.
No. 19-Act II, House Bill No. 2-print-
ed in the five last columns on the third
page of section two of the Banner, 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 segregation
of property for State and parish taxation,
the creation of the tax commission and
other important provisions. AS we under
stand it, segregation means more to the
local self government than to the State.
and the reform plan gives to the people OF
their respective parishes absolute control
of their finance, taxes and assessments
