JUDGE MILLING QUITS
BOARD.

Announcement was made this
week of the resignation Of Hon.
Thomas Milling. as chairman and
member of the State Board of AT
fairs. Tt is stated Mr.. Milling
will go to Shreveport to enter the
practice of law and make tax
questions a speciality. Following
his withdrawal guesses started as
to who would succeed him. The
successor must be from south Lou
isiana.
Mr.. Milling gave forth some in
teresting data which it is well for
the tax payer to analyze, regard
ing the probable increase Of state
taxes for the year 1920. The de-
mand on the state from every
quarter has terribly increased,
rendered necessary by the in
crease in the cost of everything :
Public schools, roads, charitable
and eleemosynary institutions
have all been forced to ask for in
creased appropriations. Approp-
riations are based on taxes, and
taxes raised by assessment; as
sessments are now and will con-
tinue 100 per cent. Average val
ues fixed by the board show: That
horses are averaged at $97, the
board fixed the assessment $71 ;
cattle $38, average assessment $24,
hogs $15, board So. The probable
ities are the rate for state taxa
ton will necessarily be raised
from the present rate to the full
three mills as provided and al
lowed by the Constitution.-Thi-

A PARTING SHOT.

Goodbye old year! we'd have
you stay,
But, if you must be going,
There are some things we d like to
say,
Some things you should be
knowing!
You came to us twelve months
ago
Brimful of hope and promise
You gave us much-but still you
owe
r A lot you've taken from us!
You've given wrinkles and gray
hairs
You've made us look much
older,
And now, at last. you put on airs
And give us the cold shoulder
Yet after all, we, truth to tell,
Have learned to love you
dearly;
You've given us taste Orwell
Rich blessings that come yearly
If to the New Year you'd be kind
And leave less to perplex it,
Ring out the woes you've left be-
hind

FRENCH FLAGS

Peace Treaty Violated by Action OF
Huns in Destroying Banners
Stolen Years Ago.

Paris. June "a. - Word of the
burning of certain French battle
flags by the Germans has been re-
ceived here. Peace conference
opinion is apparently unanimous
that this is a distinct violation of
the peace treaty. inasmuch as that
document stipulated that the flags
should be returned to France by
Germany.
1t is probable that a commission
will be appointed to consider TAX
ing action in the matter.

Article 245 of the peace treaty, in

within six months after the treaty
has gone into effect, Germany must
restore to France, the trophies,

France by the German authorities
in the Franco-Prussian war, par
ticularly the French flags taken in

London. June 24-Profound diss
trust of Germany is the predomin-
ant note in London press COM
ments on the German govern
ment's decision to sign the treaty
of peace. 1t is conteLdel the Ger
mans proved themselves treacher-
Gus throughout the war. the latest
instance being the sinking of their
interned fleet in Scapa Flow. and
therefore it would be premature to
celebrate peace until the treaty is
actually signed. Even afterward,
it is said. the allies must be con-
tinually on guard until the last
penalty is paid.

UNION WORKERS
PLAN TO RUN OWN
RE ALL STORES

Denver. Colo, June 24-Resoru-
tions introduced at today's session
of the convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen here included a plan or
establishing on a gigantic scale CO.
operative stores for the benefit of
the railroad brotherhoods.
The present plans call for a
store in each town where railroad
men live, to sell to the union men
every kind of produce. The stores
will be financed by sales of stock to
union members.
AS proposed to the convention,
the plan met with hearty approval,
but was recommended back to the
committee to broaden its scope,
making it possible to include all
unions if they cared to join the ven
ture.
The ultimate idea of the plan is
not only to act as a distributor and
eliminate the middleman, but also
to obtain land for the production
of produce.
1t is expected the plan in revised
form will be presented to the con-
vention this week and. according
to d. B. Robertson, vice president
of the brotherhood. will be adopted
It is patterned after the "RochdaIe
plan" now in operation in Eng
land.
