KING LEWANIKA's STATE BOAT
Royal Craft 10 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester and Musicians.

"While travelling in Rhodesia,"
writes contributor in the Wide World
Magazine, II managed to get glimpse
Of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the Barotse Is q fine fellow,
but was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
In a top hat and a gaudy dressing
gown.
"SOon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long,
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
tiers. On the roof of one of these COM
partments Is erected monster ele-
plant, as sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
Jester. who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated OH the
barge, in addition to whom there were
80 or GO paddlers and host Of bailers
for the barge was by no means water
tight. To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song the huge craft
was propelled along on its journey, the
return voyage taking place four or five
months later"

Tax Law Criticised

The act passed by the last Leg islature making many important changes in assessing property, both real and personal, is caus- ing much confusion throughout the state. Taxing officials say the act was so framed that 1t will be impossible to obey it's provisions for want of time. to carry out it's mandate. The feature of the law giving the assessor only five days in which to make assessments in counties like Pulaski, Sebastian, Miller. Garland, Jefferson and Phillips will make it impossible to comply with and for that and other reasons the constitutional ity of the act will be attacked in the near future, it is said. The act abolished county equalization boards and placed the matter of assessing property entirely in the hands of the assessor and two justices of the peace from each township in the county. The time for assessing property the first week in June, was not changed by the new law.
