NEW AUTO TAX PROPOSED
FOR GOOD ROAD FUND

Baton Rouge. June 15th.-Tuesday
morning witnessed the introduction OF
the first of the new grist of tax meas
ures designed to provide revenus for
the Improvement and maintnance OF
Louisiana Roads. The bill, which was
introduced by Representative Shields
Of Union Parish, provides for flat tax
to be paid by all motor vehicles, OF
so cents per 100 pounds of weight.
This tax IS in addition to the auto
mobile license tax, and the moneys
paid under it are to be turned into the
parish treasury as a special road main
tenance found.
The tax is cerated by the inclusion
of a new clause in section of Act
26O of 1914, which is the automobile
licene law, which provides a license
fee computed on the horsepower Of
motor for pleasure vehicles and a flat
license of $3.50 for motor trucks.
The following words have been add
ed to the law in the proposed Shields
amendment.
I'm addition to these license fees
there shall be a specific tax Of so
cents per 100 pounds of weight on all
motor vehicles"
This, Representative Shields main
tains, will produce most funds for road
repair and road maintenance, from the
heavy vehicles, which damages the
roads the most.
There is no doubt that if this bill
goes through 1t will mean much to the
good road movement throughout the
state. st. Landry parish will no
doubt have a neat little sum added to
its road fund, as we have large mum
ber Of heavy cars.

PREPARING TO WORK
watch Out for Something Big Soon
Is Keynote Of Directors Of the
chSmber Of Commerce

The new secretary Of the OpelOusas
Chamber Of Commerce, L. ]. Deyo of
st. Louis, Mo, accompanied by Mrs.
Deyo, arrived in this city on Tuesday
morning to take charge of his new
duties.
For the first week Mr.. Deyo has
busted himeself getting acquainted
with his new fellow-citizens, and like
Mrs. Deyo says IF / do not like Ope-
lousas, it will certainly be my fault,
because / have never been in com
munity so hospitable and courteous as
this. | am glad to make such won
derful little city my home" Both Mr..
and Mrs. Deyo are loud in their praises
of Opelousas and its citizens and if
one is to take their word for it there
is no other place in the world like
Opelousas.
Mr. Deyo met with the directors Of
the Chamber Of Commerce on Wednes-
day night and mapped out a few plans
for the upbuilding of the organization.
In few weeks the new secretary ex-
poets to publish a prospectus" of this
city, which he says will be 'corking
good one"
Watch out for somthing big in the
near future" is the keynote of the
members of the board of directors. So
convinced are they that Mr. Deyo Will
liven things up in this section of the
country that they feel confident that
Opelousas will be in the public eye at
all times. Mr. Deyo has several very
attractice plans for drawing bust
ness in this city, which he expects to
put into effect within the next few
weeks.
Mr.. Deyo has been assured the
hearty support and cooperation Of
the members of the Chamber of Com
merce, being told to ''go ahead, we're
with you" Business men are taking
an active interest in the plans of the
new secretary and have agreed to give

BIG LEAGUE BASE
BALL IN ARNAUDVILLE

In the prettiest game of the season
the crack Arnaudville team met its
first defeat last Sunday.
The fame of Arnaudville's undefeat-
ed champion had spread far and wide
so when Lafayette aaccepted their
challenge the latter came with an all
star aggregation, composed of players
recruited from Baton Rouge, Frank
lin, Breaux Bridge and Lafayette.
Rain put an end to the game in the
seventh inning, with the score 80, in
favor Of the visitors. With two more
innings to play, two men on bases and
none out. Arnaudville was forced to
give up the game by a thunderstorm
er. The Arnaudville fans feel that
had not Jupiter Pluvius interferred,
victory would have remained perched
on the standard of their champions.
Battries: Foreman and Piatt, for the
visitors; Sicily and Caller, for Ar
naudville.

men Backing Movement For Home
and Building Association

Opelousas is to have a home build
ing and loan association, if reports
current on the streets materiaIize.
Prominent business men, bankers and
lumbermen are said to be backing the
movement for the organization of a
million dollar concern. which would
make it possible for citizens of Ope-
lousas to erect homes and pay for
them on the installment plan
The need of such an organization
has been felt in this community for a
number of years and it was spoken of
several times, but it is now stated that
the new concern is practically assured,
since so many business men and bank
ers have signified their intention of
being identified with it.
Rumor has it that one of the most
popular young bankers of this city
will be president, and other one will
be Vice-president.
1t is proposed to capitalize the build
ing and loan association at $1,000, 900
and as the law requires only $4,000
paid in capital for the beginning of
operation it is very likely that within
the next thirty or sixty days the Ope-
lOusas building and loan association
will be a flournishing institution
Opelousas lumbermen are interested
in the project, it is said, as it viii
tend to rapidly build up the com
munity, making It's citizenship more
firm, since it is argued that home own
ers are the foundation of prosperous
community Real estate dealers are
also to be actively identified with the
movement, since the new financial in
stitution will make it possible for a
heavy demand for real estate.
The first meeting of the promoters
of the new concern held a meeting on
Thursday afternoon and decided upon
plans of organization. A tentative
board of directors and officers were
selected and as soon as the charter
can be published an dthe $25,0O paid in
capital secured the new concern win
begin operation.
Demand for the stock of the new
company is said to be heavy and the
promoters feel confident that there
will be no difficulty in getting many
times the required capital for the
beginning of operation.

Housing Body Named to
Study Homes in the State
State Commission Created in Effort
to Improve Conditions in
Louisiana

The creation of a state housing com
mission is provided for in a concur
rent resolution introduced in the sen
ate Tuesday by Senator Henrieks of
Algiers.
The commission is to be composed
of nine members appointed by the
governor and apportioned as follows:
Louisiana chapter of American Insti-
tute Of Architects, bank cleraing house
Association Of Commerce, Contractor
and Dealers Exchange, Board of State
Engineers. Carpenters Uni5n of New
Orleans and the homestead associa-
tion.
The first commission is to be held
in New Orleans at a time designated
by the governor. The commission is
to recommend a definite plan for the
promotion of building of homes in
cities of Louisiana, and relieve the
shortage.
The shortage of homes is not con-
fined to the large cities of Louisiana,
but extends to all progressive towns
of any size. The housing proposition
is a serious problem all over the state
and the timely creation of housing
commission will no doubt be hailed as
one of the most beneficial accomplish
ments of the present general assemb-
ly.
Here in Opelousas the housing of
its people is indeed problem, and
it is to be hoped that some movement
will help us solve that which seem to
be real problem.
In another column of this paper we
mention the organization Of Build
ing and Loan Association and it is
hoped that those who are in position
to put their wealth and influence be-
hind such a proposition, win do so,
and thus minimize the present serious
shortage of homes.

BOWLING HIGHWAY
BILLS INTRODUCED
SENATOR'S PLAN CALLS FOR
NEW TAX AND 80 GRAVEL
ROADS

Baton Rouge, La, June 16.-Four
bills constituting the first plan to be
submitted to the general assembly for
the long-talked-of state highway sys-
TEN. we're introduced in both houses
of the legislature Wednesday and re-
ferred to tn good roads committees.
The constitute the Bowling plans
and were introduced in the senate by
Senator Bowling himself and in the
house by Representative schell.
Their main features are:
A two mill tax for an indenfinite
period to finance construction of a
system of at least 80 state highways
criss-crossing the state.
A scheme of state tax and licenses
on all motor vehicles and chauffeurs
to be used as maintenance fund.
The creation of a state highway com
mission to take charge of road work
which will be separate and distinct
from the board of state engineers.
A provision that would require that
the state system of SO great highways
proposed would be hard-surfaced in
stead of gravel roads.
Mr. Miller's plan it is expected viii
be introduced possibly Thursday and
it will then be up to the legislature to
choose what it wants.
The Dowling and Miller plans are
virtually identical in their principal
features, except as regards financing
Mr.. Miller favors a bond issue Of
s35. 100000 rather than Senator Dow
ling's plan of a straight tax levy.
Commission Planned
The state highway commission would
be composed of three members ap-
pointed by the governor for terms of
three. six, and nine years respectively
one to be named from what would be
known as tate highway commission

Veltin and Dejean will be the bat
terry for the Opelousas nine. "Tobe",
as was experienced on last Sunday,
when he pitched a no-hit game, is in
the pink of condition. and should hold
the Eunice boys to only few scatter
ing hits. Dejean is catching better to-
day than ever before and the Opelou-
sas battery should prove almost in
vincible before the Eunicites.
Taken as a whole Opelousas has one
of the best teams that has ever repre-
sented her on the local diamond and
all the boys need to win is the proper
support and backing of the fans
