The Board of State Affairs.

Act 14O of 1916, creating the Board of
State Affairs, vests it with various pow
ers and places upon it various RESPONSE
bilities. The first, and perhaps the most
important to the people of the state, is
the power vested in the board to deal
with matters of taxation.
With respect to taxation the power of
the board is roughly divided into four
classes:
First, the power to assess property
that has heretofore escaped taxation.
Second, the power to equalize the
assessment of property between the
various governmental subdivisions.
Third, the power to equalize assess
ments between individuals of the same
local subdivisions.
Fourth, the power to assess the prop
erty of all public service corporations,
such as railroads, telephone and tele-
graph companies and express companies,
Before this board can place property
on the assessment rolls that has here
tofore escaped taxation, it must know Of
the existence of that property. 1t has
been asserted by various people through
out the state, and by some Of the news
papers in the state, that the state is full
of tax-dodgers. If any person, firm OIL
corporation in this state is lodging taxes
it is the earnest desire of this board t.
know who they are, and their method o.
tax lodging. The board being new has
no set program, butts DESTROYS of follow.
ing the best plan possible to accomplish
its purposes.
| It invites, from any source, informa
ton concerning tax-dodgers or persons
who are not paying taxes on propert.
subject to taxation. 1t invites informa
ton from any source concerning Unequal
tiles in the assessment Of persons in thu
various parishes.
; 1t especially requests from the news
, papers OF the state and the manager
thereof, suggestions regarding the worl
of the board, and any information con
corning tax-dodgers, inequalities in as
sessment or any information that ma
enable this board to more fully perforr
its duties to the people of the state.
The beard will not consider an
anonymous communication. Any infor
nation received in response to this invi
tation will, however, be treated with tn
greatest confidence. Persons commun
icating any fact along these lines to til
board may rest assured that they wi
not be troubled or Inconvenience IL
that reason.
All information of this character wi
have to be investigated, and the boar
must know the source of the informatio
before any investigation can be under
taken.

that in publishing the notice that APP
peared and in writing few letters in an
effort to locate former members OF Mr..

than we would cheerfully do in the

the Confederate cause. We are pleased
that you secured the pension, Mrs. Nor
