communication and then pro-
ceeded to jump upon it with both
feet. To this I have not the
slightest objection. My commu-
nication remains uninjured there
by.
If you will publish what |
write your readers will readily
observe that there are two sides
to this question, and the taxpay-
ers among them, will readily see
you are on the WRONG SIDE.
| am honest in this discussion.
Have no ak to grind. The office
my people gave me, is one of
honor and. trust solely. The
emoluments go to pay the ex-
penses only. I feel that our peo-
pie are sufficiently taxed. I
know this. I can demonstrate
the fact. Now with these de-
auctions before me, shall | re-
main dumb while a proposition
is being made to additionally tax
them? Perish the thought.
Never before in the history Of
the state (since the Civil War;
has the March of progress been
better. We are going forward
not backward. Take this parish
and city as an illustration. When
/ was a boy, we had as | recol-
lect it, one public school. Now
one dots every community. In
this city, we have one Of the
finest High Schools in this state,
with an attendance Of six hun
dred.
Our streets are being paved.
We have miles and miles of side
walks, while others are being
constructed. Other towns are in
the wake. Sewerage, water
works, electric lights, all of the
modern conveniences, are being
supplied. How? By means
principally of local taxation, self
imposed.
Here in Opelousas in 1895, we
voted a tax, built a High School.
A year or two ago, we found the
former one insufficient, voted an
other tax, built the magnificent
one we now possess.
Now having paid all of these
assessments and continuing to
pay sidewalk assessments, we
have gone the limit.
The same applies to the people
outside this municipality. They
voted taxes in aid of their
schools. Have High
Schools where needed. Have
voted taxes in aid of good roads
Miles of these are in process of
construction. When added to
his, they cheerfully pay their
state and parish taxes, so they
lave also gone the limit. They
will not additionally tax them
other than under a delu-
ion. Try it and defeat will fol-
oW your efforts.
The Constitutional Convention
will adopt an organic law only.
The manner and mode of assess
ng property and collecting rev.
.nues, is, and will forever re-
main, a Legislative function.
he Legislature has refused to
auction your method. The peo-
lie have done the same thing,
nd now you propose to give
a Constitutional Conven-
ion. A nice New Years gift in
eed.
1. An Extra Session Of the
legislature to cost not less than
wenty or thirty thousand dol
IRIS.
2. A Constitutional Conven-
ion to cost sevenry-five or one
undred thousand dollars.
3. A session of the Legisla-
ure to carry into effect the or
law, say another eighty
1ousand dollars. All this at
re expense of the taxpayers.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A EAD COLD

Get small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea. or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful Of the
tea. put a cup Of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break a cold aud cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

WHAT THE WAR
MOVEMENTS MEAN
BY ]. w. T. MASON

(WrltLen lot the united PreSS)
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-British
workingmen's inability to see the
value Of increasing the present
strength of the English army is the
most dominant part Of the anti-con-
scription campaign which has caused
threats OF an internal revolution to
be uttered in parliament.
There is no doubt that CONSUMPTION
would be accepted II leaders believed
the empire was endangered. But Brit
ain Is in no danger of a civil strife.
on account of CONSUMPTION, inasmuch
as the views of labor groups conflict.
While Russia is in danger of such
an internal struggle, 1t is difficult to
conceive Of British workers fasten-
ing CONSUMPTION on themselves to re-
lieve the Gear. Particularly is 1t re-
garded as untimely to suggest that
British liberalism adopt such a bur-
den at a time when the Car is trying
to crush liberalism in Russia.
For the most part, the British who
favor CONSUMPTION are in the imperial
ist group. Workingmen, however, are
not interested in widening the bounds
Of the empire when they must pay the
cost themselves. They are paying the
greatest attention to the expansion of
human rights at home.
Premier Asquith announced in par
lament that nearly three million of
the kings subjects are serving in the
army and navy. Besides keeping the
seas free for commerce, England is
paying more than her proportionate
cost of the war, and hence, in the view
Of the workers, CONSUMPTION cannot be
demanded by the allies.
