FISHING ON SUNDAY

Gibbcs Calls Attention to Regulations

Fishermen who are accustomed to
become restless on Sunday because
they can not follow their desires will
probably be pleased to kno wthat the
chief game warden, w. Fl. Gibbes will
in no way molcst them if they steal
away from their homes and take a
try at the finny tridc on Sunday. Mr..
Gibbes said yesterday he had been

the state for not having game wardens

The game laws provide no regula-
tion for the wardens to arrest fisher
men or hunters on Sunday no more
than any other day, Mr.. Gibbes says,
and he does not intend to attempt to
handle affairs of other people. If the
game laws are violated on Sunday the

GRANDMOTHER NOT so SLOW
Possibly Less "FIip" Than the Maidens
of Today, but She Seemed to
Get There.

Grandma disdained the first aids to
beauty-powder, rouge, eyebrow pen
Gil and eyelash lotion.
She acknowledged before the world
that she had ears. She exposed them
to view.
She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing of theaters, movies and
chewing gum.
She danced the minuet with men
she knew. She would have been horri-
fed with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimmie.
She wore high necks and long
sleeves, both trimmed with lace She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped in and out like tiny mice, we
are told. She would have been scan
dalized by the knee-high skirt, the
sheer hose and the low shoes Of the
present mode.
She gave no thought of career, the
vote or the great question Of the day.
And yet
She knew what to do when grand

NOT OLD BOYS LUCKY DAY
At That, 1t Must Be Admitted He Got
Out of Tight Situation Rather
Neatly.

He was the picture of sedate middle
age, from the .broad-toed shoes to the
pincenez suspended by a broad black
ribbon.
He gazed long and longingly at the
portrait of a maiden in rather skinny
attire which adorned the lobby OF a
theater.
He entered the lobby.
He came out again.
He was met by an equally sedate
middle-aged woman.
what are you doing in there?" she
demanded.
"Why, my dear, thought it was the
entrance to the bird store, but hurried
out as soon as I discovered my mis-
take" was his rather hating reply.
AS they started away, the man drew
something from his pocket and
dropped it surreptitiously to the side
walk.
A newsboy quickly picked it up.
"Gee," he muttered, "a orchestry
seat to the burlies."
The sedate gentleman and his wife
strolled on.

LAWRASON FAVORS
SHORT TAX CLAUSE
WANTS FRAME WORK ONLY TO
AVOID AMENDING THE NEW
CONSTITUTION.
COMMISSION NOW AT WORK
State Should Not Be TIED Hard and
Fast To Any One System of Tax
atIon-LawmakIng of
High Type.

st. Francisville. - Only the basic
principles of framework Of taxation
should be written into the new Con-
stitution, the state should not be tied
hard and fast to any one particular
tax system, and more latitude should
be given to the Legislature IN the en-
actment of taxation and assessment
laws, in the opinion of Senator S.
Nee. Lawrason of West Feliciana.
Senator Lawrason was second vice.
president of the Constitutional Con-
vention in 1898 and is now member
of the State Taxation Commission,
created under Act No. 242 Of the last
session of the Legislature, which Is
charged with the duty Of investigating
the entire taxation and revenue ques'
ton and submitting report to the
Constitutional Convention.
The Taxation Commission is now at
work and will have its recommends
lions ready by the time the convention
assemblies in March.
THE article is the new Constitu'
ton governing taxation" Senator
Lawrason said, should be short, sim
Die and easily understood. In my
opinion it should be broad and EN-
brace only the basic principles OF
framework Of taxation.
1.-THE state should not be tied hard
and fast to any one system OF taxa
ton. A system that has been success
full in Michigan or other states may
be unsuccessful in Louisiana. Condl
lions in every state are not the same
'T think the best plan, in framing
tax article is to make 1t elastic sc
that the Legislature can change sys
tenn without amending the Constitu
ton when experience and an actua
test has demonstrated that any partlc
ular plan has failed to meet any re
quirement or expectation.
81 believe those things should bt
left to the judgment of the Legisia
ture, and I think the Legislature car
be safely trusted in such matters. The
restrictions on the Legislature in thu
present Constitution and in the Con
stitution of 1879, are the result of thu
excuses and abuse Of power by thu
Legislatures of the reconstruction pc
Rod.
"The conditions that existed during
the carpetbag regime do not ex1s
now and do not think they will eve
occur again Our lawmaking body nov
is of higher type.
eff we give the Legislature broa'
powers we can establish tax system
that will suit Louisiana withou
amending the Constitution every tim
a change or alteration in system be
comes necessary.
