TO MAKE AN EFFORT
TOWARD TAX REVISION
GOV. HALL ISSUES STATEMENT
CORRECTING A POPULAR
MISUNDERSTANDING.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-To correct the i'm
preston which seems to prevail that
he would not bring the subject of tax
reform at the coming session of the
legislature Gov. Hall issued the fol-
lowing statement:
AN impression appears to have
arisen that no legislation will be at
tempted at the coming session of the
General Assembly on the subject of
assessments. This is due to a mis-
understanding.
There are certain evils OF the
present system that had been RENE
died so far as they can be without the
adoption Of an entire new plan. To
undertake a radical revision of our
system, or, rather, lack of system, Of
assessment and taxation as was at
tempted in 1912 would require the
submission of number of constitu-
tional amendments. Our experience
in 1912 teaches that an effort thus
to devise a new plan or system pro-
duces so much confusion and there
are so many interests to oppose any
change whatever that it will be i'm
possible without a thorough campaign
to secure it's adoption. Besides, the
General Assembly would probably not
have the opportunity in the rush of
a regular session to give the subject
the thorough consideration that its
IMPORTANCE would require"

JuareZ, MeX-The most desperately
fought battle of the present Mexican
revolution started Sunday night at
Tampico, according to reports reach
ing Constitutionalist officers here. II
was reported some of the oil wells and
tanks were burning, and that por,
tion of the town was on fire.
All Americans, it is said here, were
taken aboard United States warships,
but other foreigners are scattered
throughout the oil we'll district. By
the light of the blazing oil tanks, fir
ed by stray shots, the rebel artillery
men hurled shot after shot from 20
heavy field pieces in the strongly en-
trenched position held by General lg
nacio Morelos Zaragoza, the Federal
commander, in the center of the town
and swept the breastworks with a hail
of shrapnel in an effort to open the
way for a dash by General Pablo Con
zales' infantry.
For the first time in the fighting be
tween the soldiers Of Huerta the Con
stitutionalists were on equal terms
with the Federals In the matter OF
artillery.
The 20 French field guns captured
by General Gonzales at Monterey and
placed in position before Tampico
have done tremendous execution.

LOUISIANA RICE
CROP TO Be SHORT
LAST OF THE 1918 CROP HAS
BEEN MARKETED AT LAKE
CHARLES.
NEW PLANTING PROCEEDING
Estimated That There Will be a Re-
duction of 25 Per Cent in
Southwest Parishes.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lake CharlCS-Ghe sale OF small
quantity Of rice by the Southern Rice
Growers Association marked the end
of the 1913 rice season so far as the
farmers are concerned. Practically
all of the rice, except that saved for
seed, is now out of their hands, due
to the buying campaign by the mills
beginning about the first of March
after depressing winter. In the past
GO days probably 100000 sacks have
been bought in the three southwestern
parishes, at fair, though not bonanza,
prices.
Planting for the 1914 crop is pro-
ceeding very slowly, owing to the
cold spring and frequent rains, and
only a small part of the acreage is
planted. 1t is estimated that the south
west Louisiana acreage will be fully
% per cent less than in 1913. The
Texas reduction will be fully as large
and acreage along the river will also
be somewhat curtailed. Only in Ark
ansas is an equal acreage to 1913
promised.
