our laws, If a fire or life insurance
company or other corporation than a
bank, acrries part of it's invest
ments in State, city or levee bonds,
the amount so carried is deducted
from its assets and taxes are levied
and collected on the net balance. If,
however, bank should invest any
profits on such bonds, no deductions
are made, but, on the contrary, the
bank is made to pay the State, par
ish, municipal, school and other tax
es. This seems to be an unfair and
unjust discrimination against banks.
Act No. ITO of 1898 provides that
the assessment be made against the
shares of stock and therefore paid by
the stockholder and not by the bank.
As matter of fact, there is probably
rot q bank in Louisiana to-day that
does not pay th.; taxes so levied and
charges it to its expense account,
which is supposedly intended by act
res erred to to be assessed and charg-
ed against the stockholders. Act
No. 10 of 1898 was evidently fran
ed for the purpose of taxing the cap.
ital of national banks, which could
not be taxed directly, and while said
act accomplishes its purpose, it works
an unfair discrimination to all banks

be modified or repealed. So also

the national good roads organization
Two important features have beer
added to the tentative program whict
will undoubtedly prove of vital in
terest to the people of the State, and
serve to draw many delegates to the
congress from every parish. One Of
these will be the organization of q
Louisiana State Good Roads Asso.
;ciation. This State is one of the few
in the Union that has no State or.
ganization whose activities are de.
voted to the good roads movement
and many prominent men have sig
nified their intention of taking an
active part in the work it will dc
when formed, in conducting an active
Statewide campaign for the improve
ment of the highways. This body
will be formed on either the first or
second day of the convention.
Another important addition to the
program will be that of "Woman's
Day." which has been set for May
18th. The participation of the wo-
men of this State and the country at
large has been Incorporated in the
official call for delegates. 1t is the
first time that women have had a
chance to act rs delegates in the an
|ro9ds ocOA4SsAAiOn. ----ssss - s77~----
On "Woman's Day." and as part
Of the regular program, Louisiana
|''Woman's Good Road Congress" will
be held. This will be the second
|''Woman's Good Roads Congress" to
be held in this country, and the first
in the South. All of the club women
in the State will be invited to take
part in the congress as delegates,
and an elaborate program for them
is being worked out.
The Era Club of New Orleans have
accepted the invitation and will at
tend as delegates in body. Mrs.
Roydan Douglas, of New Orleans,
president of the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs in this State is taking
an active part in making "Woman's
Day. and the woman's convention
an epoch in the history of club wo-
men in Louisiana. She will invite
the forty-one clubs in the State to
send delegates.
Arrangements have been made by
the executive committee whereby
Congressman Dupre will read Gov
enror Sanders proclamation regard
ing the Congress, and President
Jackson's official call to delegates on
the floor of the House in Washing
ton early in the present week.
The following delegates have been
appointed to represent St. Tammany
