RATES.

As result of the Constitutional
amendments adopted by the peo-
pie at the November election. all

made on an actual value basis.
thereby lowering the tax rate, and
simplifying the work. las re-
suit Of this, it will be possible to
show a large assessment and re-
duced rates. To show how this
change operates; last year the
State collected taxes on so per
cent of the actual value. and the
parish for 40 per cent of the actual
value; for the year 1919 and there
after these percentages will not
be used at all. as all the property
will be taken at its actual casn
value. For 1918, the State tax
and the Good Roads Tax amour
ted to 6 mills, on a so per cent
basis, for the year 1919 these same
two taxes being only 2 mills on a
100 per cent basis. The Confed-
crate Veteran Tax for the year
1918 on the so per cent basis was
l mill, for the year 1919 it Will
be IL mill on the 100 per cent
basis. The Parish taxes will be
reduced in the same proportion.

CHILDREN'S RIGHTS.

In the home life never forget
that the children have social
rights. and the chief among these
is the right to laugh when they
are happy, to cry when they are
unhappy, and to make a noise. A
healthy child is always active, it
must jump and scream. fall down,
cry when it gets hurt. and jump
up only to repeat the same thing.
But to keep it still means unhap
piness and nearly, if not quite
death. Let them be gay. This
is their element. We always
class children, birds and flowers
together. And whyi Because
they should be equally beautiful,
innocent and happy. We should
never rob childhood Of its ideal
loneliness. Let them play and be
happy. but teach them self control.
Gods estimate Of self control is
this: He that is slow to anger
is better than the mighty and he
that ruleth his own spirit, than he
who taketh city, Condemn
your children only when they are
really wrong. and then a. gently
as possible, but be sure to COM
mend when they do right. A lit
tie praise with . child goes a long
wav. A child NAV be very pro-
vokine but not wilfully bad. At
tributine bad motives to q thought
less child has ruined many q lit
tie life. Just blame less and
praise more and we shall have bets
ter children. Especially as most
Of their faults are copied from
their parents we should exercise
| the strictest charity for verify
Charity doth cover ! multitude
|of sins. The Enterprise.
