AS for the school fund, New Or
leans contributes to the parishes, be-
cause the tax is distributed accord
ing to educable children, and New
Orleans has a large amount of prop
erty in proportion to school child
ren.
Agriculture pays 12 per cent of
the total taxes; lumber 81 per
cent; merchandise, per cent; banks
20 per cent; cities, S3 Ia per cent.
Judge Milling said the Board
would do all in it's. power to keen
taxes as low as possible. If the
actual cash value of property was
taken, probably 33 1-3 per cent of
this amount might be made the as
sessment. Perhaps so per cent of
the value might be assessed. Don't
think it can go more than so per
cent
st. Tammany parish has paid no
taxes on oxen, goats, hogs or dogs.

Tammany parish for 1907 and 1916

COMMUNITY CHARACTER.

AS nation We are built on the
principles of Independence, and as
a nation we are so, but as indtviou-.
ais there can be no such thing as
independence. By birth, by ties of
affection. by the relationship of
every day .endeavor we are code
pendent each upon the other, and
happily the man who has the most
wealth is the most dependent. The
more wealth he employs the more he
must depend upon the integrity, ef-
ficiency and good will of his fellow.
men for the proper handling of that
which he has entrusted to their care
for employment. The humblest
member of the community is de-
pendent, and again happily so, be-
cause in his frugal way even that
little which he has he must derive
through helping to accumulate the
great abundance which he can never
know, and through the just and
equitable treatment of those who
might be task masters were they less
dependent on him for his help.
Mans ambition is happiness. Be-
lieving that wealth could purchase
happiness, he used to pursue it seek
ing to accumulate rather than to ac-
complish. He has learned better.
He has elarned that accomplishment,
not accumulation, is the doors of
happiness.
Happiness is condition that must
be deserved by doing those things
that breed happiness, and so the
community family, if it IS to be con-
tented, must breed contentment at
home. Even the wholly money CEN
tered individual recognizes this fact,
and the master of millions knows
that the safety and increase of his
wealth depend on the efficiency of
those whom it employs, and that
that efficiency comes only When the
environment of those employees is
conducive to their contentment and
health. Modern methods testify
abundantly- to the fact that service
is the beginning of success, that con-
eminent is the beginning of service,
St. Tammany farmer., 1917-05-19

made for it, even to the giving up of
life. They why should we not sup
port the government?
Judge Milling said that reports had
gone out that the Board of Affairs
was going to tax hogs; was going to
tax this and the other thing. The
fact was, the Board could not tax
eQl lpql ses iIuo pInoo II 'Su1ul6ug
law was carried out, which it was
bound to do by oath of office. The
laws of 1898, section 1, describes
the property subject to taxation, and
after listing it, in addition says,
land all other property" This law
was passed nineteen years ago, be-
fore the Board was thought of. I'm
der the law all property is taxable,
except property exempted under the
Constitution.
The taxes were divided a. follows:
Confederate veterans, one NIL:
road, IA; school, 1 1872; levees,
1880; interest on public debt.

probation, for service is life, and
life is service, and in the economy
of life nothing is lost.

that efficiency is the beginning of
efficiency is only obtaina BILE through
desire for service.
To bring about contentment in a
community is to bring about de-
velopment; not the contentment of
idleness, but the contentment of CO.
operation which there must be in
jected into the community healthy
spirit of rood will. Fraternalism
must be allowed to creep in and to
undermine clanishness, and the lead
ing citizens must be willing to meet
their neighbors cordially and to CO.
operate with them. Gathering up
the threads of suggestions that have
been made, it will be found that
every member of the community has
a personal and direct interest in the
future of the community. He can be
approached through what enlight-
enuent he has and be made to see
the principle that controls his ex-
,istence. He can be taught by kind
ness and example if not through the
avenue of reason, and upon those
who possess the intelligence of the
community rests the responsibility
of setting the example.
People are made rational by in
-struct:on. The principles of society
teach the education of the people
and then leaves the guidance of So
ciety to their judgment born of such
tmtef age, The greatest menace to a
community to he who would prey up
on the emotions of it's people for sal
fish aims, who would stir up preju-
dice, who would appeal to selfshness
The chief object of men in public
life. or in leading public movements,
should be not only to govern wisely,
but to teach principles of wise gov
ernment, and thus live their lives,
not only i'm their day, but in the sue
cess they attain. The teacher lives
in the fruitful lives of his scholars,
and the civic leader lives in the
clen,iness and progress of his COM
munity. Every public official ereets
an enduring monument to his
worthiness If he conceives and puts

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

With many people taking cold is
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take cold sponge
every morning when you first get
out Of bed-not ice cold. but a tenn
perature of about 80 degrees F.
Also sleep with your windows up.
Do this and you will seldom take
cold. When you do take cold take
