JsLouisiana's Tax on Money
Profitable?

Manv a man has asked "Why
is Louisiana not the richest and
most Prosperous State i'll the
Union?" | have asked that
question many times. Here is

tive head of a New Orleans con-

million dollars annually from
the bushes it does in LOUISIANA
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas ana
Alabama.
"Our cashier, every business
in the year, receives on an aver
age more than $40, which under
normal conditions, would be de-
nosited in some New Orleans
bank. But, because the Ia"
| Of Louisiana can be so construed
as to impose a tax on money on
ha md and on deposit, which, N
the very nature Of the CASE
would be prohibitive, we do not
:: make our deposits in New Or
leans banks, but each and every
: evening send all the checks drafts
!, and other forms Of cash received
. that day, to bank in a northern
n citv in a State which does not lax
money on hand and on deposit

only thing we can do under the
