GETTING READY FOR WINTER
Very Respectfully,
T. H. HARRIS

When the squirrel Is stirring about,
garnering nuts that are to sustain him
through the long winter, when the bear
is gorging himself and laying on his
blanket of fat, upon which he will live
during his months of Information, far
mer folks are bestiring themselves, too
storinw away their harvests, getting a
winters supply of fuel in the dry, put
ting away binsful Of vegetables and
spicy-smelling apples.
The farmers preparation for winter
is not alone the gathering Of the strict
necessities for the winter months. The
shut-in season, from time immemoriai
has been time of delights peculiar to
the season. The long evenings OF song
and story, of reading and study, Of pop
corn and other edibleS sacred to win
ter nights, the courtings, the white
snow in the moonlight-ah! what exile
| is there who does not look back with
an ache in his heart for the joys that
belongs to those days, yet with throE
of delight at every memory.
Because the farmer, more than any
one else must make much OF his enter
Itainment during these long Wlnte'
months, he will find an especial inter
est in the individual electric plants
THAT will furnish him modern electric
light for his home and make these win
tier evenings brighter and pleasantel

seven mlilS on the CITY assessment.
They cannot operate successfully on a
smaller millage.
The proposition has been advanced
that should the Sylvest Amendment
become law providing for seven mills
on the city assessment for the public
schools of New Orleans, the school tax
Of three and a half mills provided by
Act No. 4 Of 1916 will be available to
the Commission Council and can be
used by the Commission Council for

who wrote the Sylvest Amendment.
has furnished me with an opinion that
such will not be the result. The OPT
MON shows clearly and conclusively
that the adoption of the Sylvest Amend
ment will annul the three and a half
mills school tax found In Act No. 4
Of 1915, and that said tax will not be
available for any purpose.
Some confusion may raise from the
fact that the SylVest Amendment pro.
Yides for a parish school tax of mill
and half in the country parishes, and
this may be construed by some Of the
voters as an additional tax. Such Is
not the case. This amendment pro.
vides for no additional tax in the count.
.ry parishes. The amendment does pro.
vide for a school tax Of q mill and a
half, but If this amendment should be
adopted the Byrne Amendment, or Act
218 of 1918, will be annuled. The Byrne
Amendment carries a school tax Of a
mill and half, and 80 the result Of
the adoption of the Sylvest Amend.
ment will be to kill one school tax of
a mill and a half provide for another
school tax of mill and q half. In
other words, its adoption will not ef.
feet one way or the other the school
finances in the country parishes. The
only interest that the country parishes
have in the Sylvest Amendment Is,
first, the duty Of assisting the City of
NewOrleans to secure needed funds
for its schools; and, second, making it
possible for q school district or q pari-
sh to raise the limit of special main
tenance taxes from five to eight mills,
should the voters In a district or a
parish desire to do 80.
l trust that the friends Of education
throughout the state will improve
every opportunity to explain in de.
tail these amendments to the voterh,
and to bring to their attention the very
great necessity for their ratification.
The people of Louisiana are very
genuinely interested in the education
of their children, and they will vote
for these two amendments if they un.
derstand their provisions and are
shown that the money which will re.
suit from them is abIosutely essential
to he successful operation of the
school.

SUMMARIZING.

Amendment No. l, if ratified, will
provide an additional State school tax
of one mill, and this will amount, on
the present assessment, to about 81
900 900, and will be distributed to all
the parishes on the basis of the school
population.
Amendment No. g. If ratified, will
fix the city school fund Of the City OF
New Orleans at seven mills on the city
assessment, and it will raise the limi'
OF special maintenance taxes in the
country parishes from five mills to
eight mills, provided the people see fit
to vote such increase in any district or
parish.
/ The public schools face camplete
breakdown unless additional funds be
found with which to pay teachers bet
ter salaries. This was true Of the
country schools and of the city school
of New Orleans. These two amend
ments, if adopted, will enable the
school officials throughout the State
to meet the situation fairly we'll. The
additional one.mill State tax will en-
able possibly two-thirds of the country
parishes to pay their teachers fairly
adequate salaries and to attract into
the schools teachers of ability and
training. The other one-third OF the
parishes will find it necessary to call
elections and raise the limit OF special
maintenance taxes to eight mills as
provided by the Sylvest Amendment
When this has been done, the several
parishes having low assessments VIII
have fairly adequate funds with which
to hold good teachers in their schools
The city of New Orleans probably
faces a more serious situation than
the country parishes. The salaries OF
the teachers of the city have been low
all of these years, and the school board
has found it impossible with the funds
at it's disposal to provide many 4eedeo
new buildings. A crisis was reached
about a year ago. 1t became absolute
ly necessary to raise the salaries o.
teachers or close the schools. Tne

SCHOOL amendments
TO Be VOTED ON.
.
To Be Voted on In the Congressional
Election, November
2nd., 1920.
Baton Rouge, La.Oct. 3.

Baton Rouge, La.Oct. 3.
To he Friends Of Public Education:
Two amendments on the subject Of
public education will be submitted to
the voters Of the State for ratification
or rejection in the Congressional cleo
tion to be held November 2, 1920, and
lit is proper, think, at this time to
explain what these amendments are
and the reason why their ratification
seems imperative.
The amendments are as follows:
Act Moss of 1920, known as the Ham
ley Amendment. This will be Amend
ment No. l on the thicket to be used
in the November election. This Amend
ment provides for State school tax
of one mill on the State assessment.
If ratified, this amendment will yield
about S1,600,000 to the schools OF the
state. The tax will be collected on the
assessment of 1920, and the funds rea'
lized from it will be deposited with the
State Treasurer and distributed to the
various parishes on the basis of the
number of educable children in each
parish.
Act No. 81 of 1920, known as the
Sylvest Amendment. This will be
amendment No. 2 on the ballot to be
used In the November election. This
amendment has two provisions.
(a) 1t fixes the CITY school fund in'
the city of New Orleans at seven mills
on the city assessment one mill Of
which may be funded into bonds and
the proseeds used to erect and equip
school buildings.
(b) 1t raises the limit of special
maintainance taxes which a school
or a parish may vote from five to eight
mills. This amendment does not pro-
vide for any additional school funds
in the country parishes. 1t simply
makes it possible for the country peo-
pie to vote special maintenance taxes
up to maximum of eight mills where
they can now vote only five mills. The
amendment does provide for a parish
school tax of a mill and half, but
since it annuls the Byrne Amendment,
or Act 21S of 1918, which provides for
a parish school tax Of mill and half
there will in reality be no increase
whatever in the parish school funds
should the Sylvest Amendment be riti,
fled.
