SECOND DAY

The Baptist ministers of Lou
isiana in convention in De Ridder
Friday, drew up resolution APP
proving the steps taken by Gov
ernor Luther E. Hall in his cru
SADIE against Jefferson Parish
gamblers and stating that the
perish officials and gamblers
have been in league. The reso'
luton asserts that dens OF iniqul-
ty have owned tue parish author
tiles and felt secured in violating
the law under the noses OF the
otfciala they owned.
The ministers pledged the
governor their support in the
uphill fight against gambling
until the last gambling machine
| is put out of business. The
secretary was ordered to fur
nish the governor with a copy
of the resolution pledging the
support of the Baptist church
and the resolution was referred
to the committee.
b The resolution follows:
Resolved, That we, the mes
messengers from the Baptist
church in Louisiana in conven'
ton assembled, hereby record
our full and hearty corporation
and sympathy with governor
IL, H. Hall, IN his fixed and de-
termined effort to clean out the
'Augene stables of vice and cor
ruptlon which have so long
held place on the soil Of our be-
loved state. These dens OF
jDjouity have owned and con-
trolled local officials, and telling
secure in their haunts, have gone
to the greatest lengths in defy
ing law and outraging decency
I'VE desire to pledge the in
Auence of our Christian either
ship to aid our governor until
the last piece of gambling devlc
es or other paraphernalia o
these lawless dens has beer
, burned to ashes, and terror t
!, such evil-doers has strlckel
down the last survivor of this in
decent crowd.
The secretary of this conven
tion has been intrusted to tul
nish a copy of these resolution
to Governor L. E. Hall and ais
look after It's publication in put
lie press"

FOR A STATE INCOME TAX.
Mills says Committee Has about
Reached n Decision.

Senator Ogden l.. Mills said yesterday
that his Legislative committee on taxa
ton has about finished it's work upstate
and will presently resume It's sessions
here. The committee has virtually de-
cided 10 recommend al income tax to
the Legislature, il being the opinion that
no more burdens can safely be laid ON
real estate.
1T is probable" said Senator Mills,
that we shall recommend that this tax
be distributed to the communities where
Il IN collected. We find from our exam
nation up State that the localities out
side OF New York city are in Just as
a a condition as far as the oppression
Of real estate IL concerned under u
present realty tax system M Is New
York. They need relief just as much.
They And. even more than New York
perhaps. that they get little or no re-
lief from the personal property tax
so that means thar most Of the In
come tax Will have to go back to the
localities where IL IL raised. 1t follows
that no relief will come with regard
to the direct tax. which the state must
continue to levy to meet It's canal, high
way and other dues. The State seems
to be in for "A direct tax for some time.
II appears that this is the situation. rs
the committee in its examination and
survey has been unable to find or estab-
,ish new potential sources off revenue
for the State other than the income tax"
