ANONYMOUS LETTER
WRITERS ARE BUSY

If YOU have not received an anOny-
nous letter recently, don't get peeved
because you may get one in the next
mail. During The past week such
communications have come to city
officials, among which is said to have
been one to the Mayor.
Whenever anyone has a complaint
to make, they are certain to have the
matter investigated if they will sign
their names or give the circumstances
to the city officials. City Officials
as well as other citizens receiving
anonymous letters would give the
same letter serious consideration II
The party who wrote it would sign
his or her name. AS rule, how
ever. when they write an anonymous
letter it usually hits the waste bas-
ket. -,
If the party who signed letter
''Housewife'' will sign her name, the
letter will receive courteous and
prompt attention.

SANTA CLAUS BRINGS
FIVE BABIES TO CITY

Santa Claus was unusually good to
Bogalusa this year, not child in
the city being overlooked nor a needy
family going in want. Then to make
it doubly sure that the city could
make no complaint, Santa left five
babies in Bogalusa Christmas Day.
All of the little folks are getting
along splendidly, also the mothers.
Those receiving babies Christmas
Day were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Evan Lee, a boy.
Mr.. and Mrs Dan Mathney, boy.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Davis, boy.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Nixon, girl.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cassie May, boy.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Landry, boy.
In addition, a fine baby boy ar
rived at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Melvin Martin on the 23rd inst, and
one on Christmas Eve to Mr.. and
Mrs. J. e. Smith.

No Prohibition AT
Hurley, Wisconsin

Hurley, Wis, Deco. 2s.-Federal
prohibition agents from Chicago Wis
tied nearly two score saloons, arrest
ed about seventy-two persons and
confiscated two street car loads of
LIQUOR in a raid that started shortly
before noon today and continued for
several hours. The prisoners and
evidence were first token to IRON
wood and thence to Ashland, Wis,
where probably tomorrow the men
will be arraigned before a United
States commissioner on charge OF
violating the federal prohibition
laws.
The raid was undertaken at the de
rectiOn of Judge Kenisaw M. Lands
of Chicago and was planned by
Frank 4. Richardson, newly appoints
ed prohibition enforcement agent
/ FOR This district
The crowd that followed the agenta
down silver street grew in a few
minutes to more than 200 persons,
but there was no demonstration, no
audible hints of violence to the
raiders; in fact, the crowd seemed
more disposed to make it the occa-
sion for a holiday.
From the viewpoint of surprise
party, the affair was complete sue
cess, federal agents agreed. Street
cars were used to transport the
agents, their prisoners and the liquor
from Hurley to honwood. A sleigh
drawn by two horses followed the
agents in their cleanup and hauled
the liquor to the street cars. In
Ironwood dray met the street cars
and took the liquor to special cars.
Moonshine, according to observers
who pretended to know, constituted
the principal "wet" haul.

Harding Cabinet
Is Again Named

Marion, o., Dec. 28.-After weeks
Of consideration and consultation,
President-elect Harding is nearing
a decision on several Of his most lTl-
portant appointments.
It may be said authoritativety that
so far no such decision has been
made, and that any suggestions ne
may have dropped on the subject
have been of a tentative and indefi-
mite nature. 1t is equally certain how
ever, that in his talks here with lead
ers in many walks Of life he has ln-
dicated clearly what men are upper.
most in his mind, as he asks for adj
vice on the makeup Of his offlclaE
family.
Those who have discussed the
question with him intimately believe
that appointments under very serious
consideration include the following:
Charles e. Hughes of New York,
secretary of state; Charles G. Dawes
of Illinois, secretary Of the areasury;
John w. Weeks Of Massachusetts,
secretary Of the navy; Will H. Hays
of Indiana, postmaster general or
secretary of the interior; Henry
Wallace of Iowa, secretary Of agri-
culture; Herbert Hoover Of Califor-
MIA, secretary of labor, and Harry
NJ. Daugherty, attorney general.
How many of these win be given
the places for which they now are
most prominently mentioned is q
question that even Mr.. Harding him-
self is not yet prepared to answer.
Already several shifts have been
made in his tentative appointment
slate as he worked his way toward a
balanced and harmonious cabinet,
and other changes are expected be-
fore the last decision is made.

DON'T TRY TO DODGE THE TAX MANI

Everyone at this time Df year meets us with
the Tax Man. It seems tolbe human nature for
everyone to try to get by With as little taxes as
possible. Some do get by, but those that do are
making it just that much haider for the other per-
son, and everyone suffers Tor it. 1t is by taxes
alone that we are able to I've in a civilized and
up-to-date community.
The assessment for I'll City of Bogalusa for
1920 amounts to Sc 400 00D.00 and at a 19-mill
tax rate, the-eitsA lSss aYsilabe for -ezpeneis
tQre S178 10000. OF this amount the Great South
ern Lumber Company and its allied companies
pay S125, $1,000, or 20 per cent OF the total tax
paid This means that every dollar spent for I'M
provements in the City Of Bogalusa, the lumber
company and its allied cOmpaniese pay seventy
cents.
In Washington Parish the assessment is about
nineteen millions, and alta 1712-mill tax rate the
parish will have available for expenditure $780,
100000 this amount the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company and it's allied companies pay $685.
$4,000, or SO per cent, making a total tax to be
paid in Washington PariSh of 1884, 100000
There are other large corporations in the
parish and city that paytheir taxes and, like all
corporations, only receive the benefits therefrom
indirectly, while the individual receives his daily
and directly.
Thassld saying that you cannot get something
E0r nothing is still true and if you are to enjoy liv
ing in an up-to-date city and receive and expect
more, then the taxese To maintain that city are
bound to increase with fne returns. Here in Be-
galusa we are fortunate in that the corporations
and manufacturing plants pay nearly all the in
creased burden.
