AROUSED OVER PLAN TO
BAN TOBACCO IN ARMY

Tobacco dealers throughout the
country are sending protests to Wash
ington against alleged intention OF
Congress to prohibit the sale of to-
bacco at army posts. This belief orig
mated in army circles and several pro-
tests against it have been sent to the
official service organs, it being claim
ed thai a rider in the Army Appropria
ton Bill which passed the House, but
was lost in the Senate filibuster on the
Armed Neutrality Bill.
1t is the fear of the tobacco men
that the restrictions might be carried
in the bill when it passes at the extra
session of Congress scheduled at this
time to begin on April 16, but it was
claimed at the Capitol that there is
small cause for alarm, as the ban on
tobacco is intended only when compul-
sorry military training shall have been
adopted, as under that bill as drawn
by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon.
chairman of the Senate Military Al
fairs Committee, tobacco and intoxi-
eating liquors could not be sold at
army posts and training camps. Sena-
tor Chamberlain has no hope of get
ting action on the Military Training
bill until the regular session, so that
the alarm which has spread in the
tobacco trade is without justification,
il was pointed out at Washington.
The desire to bar tobacco from the
camps where the youth of the country
are to be trained has been severelE
criticised by many men in the SEE
vice as they insist that this action will
lead to further restrictions, and they
Joint out that France and Great
Britain have been purchasing tobacco
IL large quantities for their soldiers
because of the contentment it bring 5
to the men in the field. They insist
also that a time that the United States
should be endeavoring in every pos
sible way increase enlistments, leg
islation of this kind should not be con
templated.

what We learn $4,000 worth Of

The loss in damaged goods Of
the Globe proprietors has not as
yet been adjusted and their los

their stocks back into the same

therefore a heavy loser himself

This will be good news to many
of the citizens of New Iberia who

Of these two liberal and wide

their employment some twenty

board or state Affairs,
Baton Rouge, La, Dee. 10. 1917.
Editor Enterprise, New IBERIA,
La:
The tax roll for the Parish Of
iberia has this day been filed and
approved by the Board of State
Affairs. 1t shows total actual
value Of all property in the Par
ish of Iberia subject to assess
ment for the year 1917 $l7,100,-
s24. 90. The Board of State Af-
fairs ordered 50 per cent as
sessment for State purposes on
this amount. so that the actual as
sessed value for State taxes for
the Parish Of Iberia amounts TO
$S,550,412.OO.
The assessment for last year
amounted to 81 ,460,249.00, show
ing an increase in the actual as
sessment for the Parish of Iberia
for the year 1917 Of 81 900, 10000.
However, the tax rate for State
purposes last year amounted to
5 3-4 mills on the dollar, so that
the actual tax levy for the State
Of Louisiana against the Parish
of iberia for the year 19l6|
amounted to the sum Of $42, ,S58.S9.
The State tax rate for the year
1917 is only five mills, or "a Of IA |
mill less on the dollar this year
than last, so that the total State
tax on the assessment for the year,
1917 amounts to $42,752.06, so
that as matter of fact the State
tax for the year 1917 is $1O6.S3 !
less than the State tax amounted
to for the year 1916. This state-
ment is made for the reason that
some people may indulge in criti-
cism Of the Board Of State Affairs
for attempting to see that all
has been placed on the
tax roll and assessments adjusted /
and equalized and made uniform
as far as possible.
The result as above indicated is
that. as matter Of fact, the peo-
pie Of the entire Parish as a whole
pay less State taxes this year thanl
hey paid last year. However,
undoubtedly quite large numberl
# taxpayers will pay more taxes
or State purposes this year than
hey paid last year, because their
were not adequate norI
air and just, in proportion to
'ther taxpayers. but unquestion-
bly, the great majority of the
axpayers Of Iberia will pay a i
ess State tax this year than they !
aid last year. This statement s

On Saturday. Dee. 8th at about
one-thirty o'clock fire completely
destroyed the wholesale and re-
tail drug establishment of Messrs.
Albert and Edwin L. Estorge. IN
volying a loss to themselves alone
of between $4,000 and $10O,O0o.
When the flames were first dis
covered smoke and fire was seen
coming through the offices occn-
pied on the second floor by DR.. w.
F. Carstens. Evidently the origin
of the fire yeas caused by a defec-
tive fue for the reason that the
flames shot out from the garret
nd it is presumed to have been
1mouldering for long time be-
fore being observed. On the sec
ond floor were the Offices Of DR..

DIR. Gayle's dental Offices and all
of them had left the building on
professional services or for the
purpose of dining, as it was the
dinner hour. otherwise this great
conhagration would have been
checked while in its incipiency.
For ssne unaccountable reason
even Before the fire alarm signal
was given members of the Iberia
Fire Co. were made cognizant OF
the FIRE and hose were drawn up,
to the second floor, but the smoke
was So great that they had to di,
