cite and Industrial schools.
Uniformity and equality of tax
alton is declared to be a vital
public need. The state, he says,
is now without power to main
tain uniformity or to protect its
own fsc, since the assessors in
fixing tax values are governed by
local conditions and the constitu-
tional provision that property
shall be assessed at it's cash value
is a dead letter.
The governor suggests that the
basis be changed to a certain pro-
portion of the cash value, and
that he be clothed with power to
remove the assessor who fails to
assess in accordance with this
organic mandate. The assess
ment of land and improvements
separately and publicity of as
sessment returns are also recon-
mended as remedies.
He finds that there is 'lack of
system and cooperative effort"
in the State Department of Ag-
riculture and immigration. It's
independent branches should be
brought into proper relation un-
der a central authority. He also
declares the department is with
out the money necessary to prop
erly carry on it's work.

VOLUNTEER ARMY ACT
Status of the National Guard Is
vitality Affected

The new Volunteer Army bill,
which President Wilson has just
approved, is of especial interest
to Louisianians at this moment
when war with Mexico is immi-
'nent. It is the fundamentally
whereby the National Guard is to
do service outside of the bounda-
ries of the country whenever the
necessity arises. The available
strength of the regular army for
service in Mexico is 1000; the
strength of the organized militia
is 112, 700. Brought up to it's full
war strength, the regular and
militia forces would number $780,
600 of all arms.
g, Under the new act volunteer
enlistments of the militia must
be for the same term as those for
the regular army, four years, but
the earlier completion of the SER
vice for which the volunteers en-
listed ends their service. The
militia is given the same number
and grade of officers as the regu-
lars. These officers are to be ap-
pointed by the president, al
though it is understood they are
ito be officers of the militia at the
time the call is made, if they
reach the standard of efficiency.
!. Heretofore the governors have
had the power of appointment.
This permitted the exercise of
political pressure and gave pulp
superiority over efficiency. An
other important feature of the
hill is that it permits a call for
volunteers before all the state
troops have been ordered to the
front.

Church--Newsy Items

Sunday was Children's Day at
Beouf River church. The people
began to gather early, and by 10
o'clock, the hour for beginning
the exercises, there was a good
sized crowd present, The time
until noon was spent principally
in singing-the children taking
the lead and in listening to ad-
dresses by the pastor, Rev. 6. l..
Afford, and by Rev. j. R. Roy, a
visiting divine. Dinner was serv-
ed on the grounds about noon,
there being an ABUNDANCE for all,
and then some. In the afternoon
there was more singing, talks
and a general goodfellowship
time.
The attendance on Children's
Day was cut to some extent by
the prevalence Of humps and
measles in the district. But few
families have escaped a visit from
one or the other or both. Not
only is this so on the Caldwell
side of the river, but on the Rich
land parish side the two are al

of Colan Sweets family has had
