FOR HURRIED READERS.

Lake Charles.-Fre destroyed q
barn containing 400 sacks Of rough
rice belonging to Mitchell Lebleau.
The fire occurred on Mr.. Bebieu's
farm on the Hecker road, near Chloe.
The loss Is covered by $4,000 insur-
ance on the rice and $500 on the barn.
Sheriff Ions has been requested by
Mr. Lebleu to investigate the cause
Of the fire.
Ruston.-If some OF the farmers Of
Louisiana had followed the example OF
Wilbert Wilder, Lincoln parish farmer
residing near Ruston, they would not
be holding their cotton and nursing a
graudge against the buyer of cotton.
Mr.. Wilder, believing in diversification
and making farm self-supporting,
has just sold to the Crescent Grocery
Company OF this city, hogs bringing
him S777.
Gretna.-Repairs to the levee at the
head of Morgan street probably will
begin soon, as material for the bulk
heads is being placed and barges pre-
paratory to being moved to the scene.
The contract under which the work is
to be done was signed recently by A.
B. Blakemore, president of the Blake
more Construction Company, Inc, the
contractors, and A. S. Cain, president
OF the Orleans Levee Board. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will be complet,
cd within thirty days from the date
that II is commenced Two bulkheads
are TO be built, one close to the river
bank and the other fifty feet away.

CONSTITUTION.
COMMISSION NOW At WORK
State Should Not Be Tied Hard and
Fast To Any One System Of Tax
misunderstanding of
High Type.

St Trancisville - Only the basic
principles OF framework Of taxation
should be written into the new Con
stitution. tie 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 >.
McC. Lawrason Of West Feliciana.
Senator Lawrason was second vice.
president of th8 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 a report to the
Constitutional Convention.
The Taxation Commission is now at
work and will have It's recommends
lions ready by the time the convention
assemblies In March.
The article is the new Constitu-
ton governing taxation Senator
Lawrasun said, should be short, sim
pie and easily understood. In my
opinion Il should be broad and en-
brace only the basic principles or
framework OF taxation
"The staIe snould not De tied hard
and fast to any one system OF taxa
ton. A system that has been success
fa1 in Michigan or other states may
be unsuccessful in Louisiana. Condi-
lions in every state are not the same.
Il think the best plan, in framing a
tax article, is to make 1t elastic SO
that the Legislature can change a sys-
TEN without amending the Constitu-
ton when experience and an actual
test has demonstrated that any partic-
ular plan has failed to meet any re-
Quirement or expectation.
Il believe those things should be
left to the judgment of the Lesisla-
ture, and | think the Legislature can
be safely trusted in such matters. The
restrictions on the Legislature in the
present Constitution and in the Con
stitution of 1879, are the result Of the
excuses and abuse of power by the
Legislatures OF the reconstruction Pc
Rod.
The conditions that existed during
the carpetbag regime do not exist
now and do not think they will ever
occur again. Our lawmaking body now
Is Of higher type.
III we give the Legislature broad
powers we can establish a tax system
that will suit Louisiana without
amending the Constitution every time
q change or alteration in a system be-
comes necessary.

 She thought of her wedding. She had made her bridal gown herself. Their honeymoon had been spent at a little summer resort only few miles rom her home by trolley. She smiled to think of those few days and how quickly they had slipped away.
 Reluctantly, her thoughts came back to the bleak present. Alfred would be coming in presently. Then he would say: Hello, dear," make some formal inquiry as to her occu- patton during the day and sometimes about the children. After supper he would submerge himself in the rocker and go to sleep. Sometimes he would kiss her or permit himself to be kissed.
 Thus the days had ended for more years than she could remember.
 Just at this stage of thinking she neard voices on the porch outside where she was sitting. Evelyn, the oldest of her girls and most like her self, was there with her young nsn.
