To the Hon. Members of the Board of
Commissioners, Fifth Louisiana Levee
District.
Tallulah, La, April T., 1916.
Gentlemen: ~'
We, your undersigned committee, ap-
pointed at the last regular meeting OF the
Board to investigate and report on the
merits OF the claim OF the Bank OF Vi
dalia, for refund Of certain taxes collected
by the Tax Collector of Concordia parish,
for the years 1911 and 1918, for the
reason that the said bank was dually as
sessed on its real estate holdings by the
the assessor OF said parish, beg to report
as follows:
We have gone over the assessment
rolls for the years above mentioned, and
find that the assessor in assessing the capt.
tai stock, surplus and undivided profits,
made the error of not deducting the
actual value of the real estate from this
assessment, but instead, included the
actual value Of the real estate holdings i'm
the above assessment, besides assessing
the real estate separately to the bank,
consequently dual assessment was made
and the amount of S10l.15, was paid by
the bank that should not have been paid.
No claim was made for the year 1912, as
the taxes for that year we're RENTED.
Respectfully submitted,
f. G. RHODES

BRITISH, cENSoRSHIP.-British
censorship now is going to forbid
the International News Service from
using the cables and news agencies
in England. They think that because
some paper prints the news regard
less of the British censors that it is a
violation of England's power.
They seem to think that they can
levy their rights upon American in
situations in order that their lying
censorship may be able to doctor the
news so that we Americans are to
believe that England is fighting war
of Justice and that the Germans are
barbarians, etc. Do wonder that
some papers slam England when it
comes to censOrship?-C. P. Lowe.

of the offenders and I trust that this
will not happen again.
I will try to reserve at least one
day a month to write a few lines, but
will not indulge in personalities. I
will try to make my letters concise,
but this one 1 trust you will print in
full.
l come from a settlement of Bo-
hemians, and as regard The Forum
as the best medium to express ones
opinion, take it for granted that l
will be understood. Most people
state their side of the story and to
this they have their right, but why
don't our Bohemian friends try their
best to propagate their language
after being prosecuted so many
centuries. The history of Bohemia
is one of tears. But today we are
considered among the cultured ma

fairer opinion Of us. wish to ex-
press my thanks to Frank Smith for

DECEIVED AND WRONGED.-I
am a deceived man; in fact, wrong
ed man. l have been going along
comfortably and feeling quite pleased
with my little learning and reading,
when along comes a Forum writer
and spOils it all.
He informs us that there is intelli-
gence back of a tree and proves it by
several citations. Here I've been
f1attering myself by believing that 1
was the intelligence back of my
trees. I spray them and trim them
and I built a boat out of couple of
them, and as for resting my eyes on
the leaves 1 never could risk that.
They wobble so, my eyes might roll:
off.
He then tells us about the gasoline
engine, that it is necessary to think
about it and plan before one can be
built. I thought they mined them or
caught them with a hook and line.
But most startling is his informa-
ton about the planets and that this
earth of ours is not the only one.
SpeIIbound I've watched the beau
tiful "Pleiades rising through the
mellow shades, glittering like a
swarm of fire flies tangled on a sill
yer braid" and marveled at stUpen-
dous Arcturus. who exceeds our sun
in volume 275,OOO times and who
would melt the earth like a snowflake
if he changed places with our sun.

that all these stars which we see are
planets not unlike our own earth.
I weep. My books must all be

I am not a hyphen, and stars and
stripes are my emblem, but l write
this for the information of the many
misinfoTmed who take the/Bohemi-
ans for wanderers and gypsies. We
are today represented in every pro-

every department, from U. S. con-
