Nearly half the communities of north
Louisiana have levied from 10 to 20
mills special taxes in aid of their
schools. Their taxes range from So to
40 mills for all purposes, and yet they
are prosperous, happy and contented.
The citizens of Alexandria, we are told,
pay something like 43 or A mills.
Here in Grant parish we pay total of
only 263 mills taxes for all purposes,
State, parish, good roads. schools. vet
Grams and all, and yet when it is pro-
posed to levy an absolutely needed and
necessary tax Of or 5 mills in aid of
the schools for our own children, some
of our citizens claim to be outraged by
excessive taxation and threatened con-
fiscation Of their property.

my best to get the real facts before
the people without bias or prejudice.
This have felt to be not only my priv
ilege but my duty. / am conscious,
however, that / have succeeded but
poorly in this attempt, else there could
be no opposition among the patrons of
our schools. For | cannot bring myself
to believe that there is parent in the
ward so Indifferent to the welfare of
his children as to neglect any oppor-
tunity to improve our school conditions,
much less to oppose the only means we
have of doing SO. if he knew the facts.
As to the criticisms that have been
directed against me personally for the
part | have taken in the children s
cause, | can only say that were | the
keeper of your cattle and should fail to
notify you of any threatened disease

it upon your attention, you would think

chargable with criminal negligence.

Fewer Laws and More Law Enforce
ment

ment.
The late Louisiana legislature is said
to have exceeded all former assemblies
in its mania for the introduction of
fool bills. The record is reported to be
$3.50 bills introduced. and BIT finally
passed. 1t is quite probable that two
thirds Of the bills that were finally
passed should have been killed. This
flood of bills came from the ambitious
politicians of the legislature, who were
anxious to do something to attract no.
toriety, and from the fiedgling attor-
neys of the body. who were more deep
ly concerned in making a name for as
tuteness for themselves than in serv-
ing the welfare of the people 1t is an
unfortunate and annoying thing to have
our already plethoric super-abundance
of laws added to, and confusion thus
made worse COMPOUNDED. The truth of
the business is We want fewer new
laws and more enforcement of the old
laws already on hand. A special ses-
sion of the legislature should be held
for six months, at which no new laws
should be introduced, and the entire
time of the legislature directed toward
rendering more effective the laws that
have already been enacted.

The True Cost of Voting $40, 900 Bonds.
J. B. AswELL.

The True Cost of Voting 500, 900 Bonds.
1t is amusing, but somewhat provok-
ing. to hear the opposition of our ward
one friends to the voting of the $40. 900
bond issue in aid of the schools. Some
of them talk as if the whole burden of
the issue rested on them individually,
and their property and their children
were mortgaged for $780,
The absurdity of this assumption is
shown by an examination of the tax
rolls. There are by actual count 42s
resident taxpayers in ward one, beside
~ non-residents who pay taxes in this
ward. This gives us $50 taxpayers for
the ward, each of whom is asked to pay
their just pro rata of $40, 600 in the
next ten years. If every man paid the
same that would be an average to each
of 81. 30 a year, or total of $44. 90 for
the entire ten years.
As matter of fact, however, the %
non-residents will pay large proper
ton of the tax, which will materially
cut down the average of resident tax
payers, nearly one-third. But, to be
more exact and get out Of the field of
general average and supposition, we
will state that the tax to be levied will
be less than three mills. Taking the
present assessment as basis the ex-
act figures can be stated as 2s5 mills
instead of three mills, as has been gen.
orally computed. This gives us the fol-
lowing table as the proportion of taxes
each one will pay: Yearly

Difference too Small to Disagree Over

Some opposers of the school bond is
sue tell US that if direct tax of "a
mills had been submitted they would
cheerfully have voted for it. Well,
the tax proposed will only amount to
81. IS per $1,000 each year, whereas they
claim they wanted it 81 so per $1,000.
That is mighty small difference, if
they are sincere in their claims of
wanting to build up our schools; and
they should be neighborly enough. and
generous and far sighted epough to
see that it is too small a matter for
them to haggle over, and go against
their own interest.

SHAKES
WITH ERUPTION
OF MT. LASSEN

Redding, CAL, Sept. 21.-After a
night of smothered muttering and
rumbling Lassen Peak exploded to-
day in a sharp thunder clap which
rocked the houses at Macomber, nine
miles from the Montana line. The
eruption today is the forty-eighth
since the prehistoric volcano awoke
to new life on May 30, and the first
that has been accompanied by an
earthquake.
At the time the shock was felt
3 o'clock in the morning-the activi-
ties of the mountain were not pro-
nounced to make themselves visible
from distance, but at o'clock a
vast volume of sulphur, ashes and
smoke was seen pouring from a fis-
sure below the older vents.
The mountain now has four crat-
ers. the acient one still sealed, the
new crater, closely adjacent; third
crater, formed by the eruptions of
the last three weeks. not far below
the main crater. and the fissure
blown open today.
Twice yesterday the two new craft
ers spouted clouds of smoke, hut to-
day the day light showed them in
active, while the lower vent was frI-
riously busy. Smoke and floating
ash veiled the entire mountain side.

mise. Chairman Simons of the fin
ance committee said in formal con-
ference with Senator Burton, lead

ed that both sides might yield some
points. Mr.. Burton told the senate
he would be satisfied with lump
appropriation of not more than $2O,-
5000, 900. to be spent by the war de-
partment. After conference with
President Wilson, Chairman Sim
mons said the senate would stay in
session continuously until the bill
was passed. He expected vote to-
morrow night or Wednesday. There
was no intention, he said of making
the bill include only projects already
under way and the president had not
insisted on such i plan.
Senator Simmons called at the
white house primarily to discussing
the Alaska coal leasing measure.
which President Wilson is eager to
have passed.
The senator told the president the
bill could be taken up after the
1rivers and harbors bill.
