To the members of the Episcopal
Church in Tensas PARISH
Greeting:-
1t is our desire to herebJ cammu-
nicate with the members of the Epis-
copal Church througout the Parish

pose (God Willingly to hav, services

9th day of Mach.
While we realize that the fourth
Sunday of the month is not our regu-

this time especially, that we depart
from our regular schedule of serv-
ices, and observe this day with the
Church in st. Joseph for the second
ary reason that the Season Of Lent has
been observed by regular services,
thereby specially preparing US for
the Blessed Message Of Feast of the
Resurrection of Christ from the Dead.
The service will be held at II
o'clock in the morning, to which
service we bid you, and all others,
in Praise and Worship and Thanks
giving for the Glorious heritage that
is ours through the Life and Death
and Resurrection Of Gods Only Son,
Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

TO EXEMPT FARM IMPROVE.
MENTS FROM TAXATION

Hon. Harry D. Wilson, Commits
sioner Of Agriculture for Louisiana,
has addressed the press Of the State
a letter in which he says: "Please
note the enclosed copy Of ordinance
by Mr.. Sledge in reference to the ex-
emption Of farm improvements to the
amount Of 100000. In our opinion,
this will do a great deal to keep our
boys and girls on the farm; poor i'm
provements are poor attractions to
our young folks. We should not tax
farm improvements but should en-
courage them. If you are in SYM
pathy with this movement, please pub
lish the enclosed"
The Ordinance in question is Of
fered in the Constitutional Conven-
ton by Mr.. Sledge Of West Carroll
parish, and is as follows:
An Ordinance Relative to the As
sessment Of Farm improvements
and Farm Impl, ncn!s.
All farm improvements to the val.
ue Of 100000, and all farm nipple
ments from which no direct revenue
Is received, shall not be assessed for
taxation, and the value of said prop
erty be prorated on all lands Of the
respective parishes, other than town
or city lots not used for agricultural
purposes, according to classification.
Adopting this ordinance would be
a real incentive for the FARMER to
improve his property, to increase
his efficiency, and to induce progress
sive farmers from other states to
come and aid in developing to the
fullest our too greatly neglected az.
ricultural resources.
The passing Of this ordinance is Of
the greatest importance to every man
and every business interest in the
State. As we are an agricultural State

A NICE LETTER.

Bunkie, La, March 18th, 1921.
Mr.. Josiah P. Scott,
st. Joseph, La.
My dear Mr.. Scott:-For some
time 1 have purposed to write you
and express my appreciation Of the
Tensas Gazette, which you have so
kindly sent me ever since / left your
community. 1t comes like q weekly
letter, and keeps me in touch with
the events which occur IN the old
community, and which 1 appreciate
very much indeed. There is one fea-
ture Of the news which ! read
in the Gazette that is very striking
and noticeable. When I left Tensas I
knew very near everybody in the par
ish, but now as l read your paper, I
notice the many new names which ap-
pear in its personal columns, which
convey to me the information that
the population Of Tensas is growing.
that its fertile fields are attrs ling
people from other co .nmunities, but
doubtless its splendid people are no
less attractive to the home see0er
than is the soil. I ha re a very tender
place in my heart for the people Of
st. Joseph, Waterproof, and the Wes-
ley neighborhood. Ny four years stay
amongst them was among the most
pleasant years of my life, and when
trouble came, due to the illness Of my
wife, who has since passed away, the
people Of these communities came to
my relief in way to place me under
an everlasting obligation to them. I
love the people Of Tensas, and am al
ways interested in any thing which
concerns them.
I am now in my fourth year at
Bunkie, it is splendid little town,
and its people are among the best, and
these three and half years Of my stay
here have been fruitful, and I am
happy in the service which, under d.
vine direction, I have been able to
render, here.
I hope you will remember me to
my friends in Tensas, and again
thanking you for the paper, am,
Yours, with best wishes,
GEO. FOX.

In line with the above proceedings
Hon. w. M. Davidson has addressed
the following letter to the Secretary
Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, at Washington:
Letter From Mr.. Davidson.
Mr.. George d. McGinty, Secretary
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:-
beg to acknowledge receipt Of
your favor of the LIST inst. regarding
rates on less than carload shipments
Of grain, grain products, etc., from
Vicksburg and Natchez, Miss, to st.
Joseph and other points on the M. H.
q L. Railroad.
You state in your letter that the
opinion Of the Commission was ZEN
dered after the formal hearing had
been held upon this matter, and ali
interested parties heard. would re-
spectfully call the attention Of the
Commission to the fact that the par
ties most interested, that is, the con.
signees like ourselves, who pay the
freight, were not heard and were not
given any notice that our interests
were involved. In view Of this fact,
It would seem to us that the Com
mission can now give consideration to
our request for a temporary suspen.
sion Of these rates.
We hereby request the Commission
TO reopen this case and give US an
opportunity to be heard. We would
like to have the hearing held at
some point in this territory, like st.
Joseph, or Tallulah, La.
This advance Of more than 20O%
on these essential commodities in less
than carloads is a most serious mat
ter to our people who are struggling
to maintain themselves now on ac-
count Of the disaster to the grain
crop in all this section last season
and the decline Of 40o% in the price
of cotton.
Thanking you and the Commission
for any advice and assistance you
xsay give In the matter. we are,
Ve:y truly yours,
W. NJ. DAVIDSON,

THE INTERSTATE RATES.

A mass meeting OF citizens OF ST.
Joseph and Tensas parish was held
at St. Joseph on Wednesday to pro-
test to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, at Washington, against
the unwarranted increase in freight
rates between Natchez and Vicks-
burg, Miss, and points along the line
of the M. H. & L. R. r. in Louis
lana in less than carload quantities,
which rates have been advanced SO
enormously as to interfere not lit
tie with the progress and prosperity
Of our parish.
At this meeting the following pro-
ceedings were had:
Taking effect March 18th, the
Missouri Pacific Railway Co. has is
sued a new tariff of freight rates
which advances rates on grain, hay,
corn, meal, feedstuffs, cow peas and
similar commodities in less than car
load quantities from $500 to 400So
over rates which have been in effect
for years previous.
This advance in rate was issued
without notice to our consultation
with the shippers and patrons Of the
road, who live along its line and help
support it with their business. This
extortionate advance is PUT in effect
at time of all others, when our peo-
pie can least afford to pay higher
freight rates. 1t is well known that
the crops Of grain, hay and feed
stuffs were practically a disaster in
all this territory, while the cotton
crop, which was very short, has de-
clined in value from 40c to 10c q
pound, and is practically unstable
at any price.
Our people are struggling under
difficulties such as they have not
experienced for twenty five years,
to feed their stock and their labor,
and are mortgaging their lands and
their homes to obtain funds with
which to maintain their organization
and raise crops for another year:
therefore be it resolved that We, the
people Of Tensas parish, in mass
meeting assembled, do protest against
this extortionate and unwarranted
advance in freight rates, and de-
nounce the management Of the Rail-
road Company which, without notice
to or consultation with its patrons,
advances rates on these necessary and
essential commodities from 2507e to
l009o at time when it must be known
to them, that conditions are most dis
tressing and when our people can
least afford to bear additional
burdens.
Resolved further, that our Senat-
ors and Representatives in Congress
be urged to take this matter up i'm
with the Interstate Com
merce Commission and ask a sus-
pension of these extortionate rates,
ut least until a hearing can be had,
At which our people are given an
opportunity to present their case.

INDUSTRIAL SUICIDE

The decision Of the British coal
miners, by q vote OF more than two
to one. to remain on strike, is ruin
Gus for them and for their country.
They have already been out several
months. Their idleness is slowly
throttHng the Industrial life Of the
British Isles, A crisis was deemed
safely past when the railroad and
transport workers a few weeks ago
refused to go cut with them, but it
may amount to about the same thing
If the miners persist in their strike
because without fuel, transportation
and manufacture cannot continue.
This Industrial war, added to the
actual war from which Great Britain
has just begun to emerge, is tragic
II may throw away half the victory
Hindering British reconstruction, II
hinders also the reconstruction OF all
Europe, And all this comes about be-
cause the workers OF one vital Indus
try refuse TO accept their share Of
the necessary deflation following the
war.
Fortunately no labor group in the
United States mas been or is likely
to be, 50 blind and reckless as this.

RrsINESS SITUATION

National Bank Of Commerce)
Business. at the beginning OF l924'
faced three primary obstacles TO the
conduct of affairs on anything Ike
normal plane. Commodity prices were
still in many cases grossly inflated
Wages were still on the war basis.
The banking position was obviously
strained. These obstacles are not 10
be regaried as entirely overcome, put
much progress has been made.
Six months ago it scarcely seemed
possible that by this time prices Tor
many raw materials would have reach
ed q point Of approximate stabiliZaton'
that wage reductions would have been
accepted by workers in widely diversi-
fled industries in the realization that
they were Just and necessary and I'm
ally that the banking position as a
whole could have improved 10 the ex-
tent indicated by the substantial. re-
duction in the borrowings of reporting
member banks at the federal reserve
banks. Such borrowings have declined
nearly 40 per cent. from the maximum
reached last fall.
Sentiment with respect TO business
will naturally fluctuate in times like
these. The reaction from the squirt IN
spring business has caused disappolnt
ment. The end Of the premature reviva
IN the automobile industry and the re
newed downward movement in th'
prices of some commodities, notably
sugar and petroleum, have been fac
tors in bringing about q spirit Of pes
simism which IS not entirely jusu
| fled when the Improvement in funda
mental conditions is considered.
On the other hand, II IS unwise q
expect other than quiet business dur
/ ing the summer months. Satsfactorl

tracted period. during which pric
