CONVENTION DELEGATES WOULD
EQUALiZE BURDEN Or,
STATE BUILDING.
HOME BUILDER PENALlZED
Are Thousands of Acres OF Unim'
proved Cuiiivatable Lands Heid
BY Lard Owners for Specu-
lative Purposes.

Donaldsonville, La. - Ways and
means to bring about the taxation on
a fair and reasonable basis OF unim-
proved cultivable lands held for spec
ulative purposes should receive the
attention of the Constitutional conven-
ton, in the opinion of c, {. Weber,
delegate to the convention from Ascen-
sion parish.
Mr.. Weber believes this is one OF
the most important questions that VIII
come before the convention. II tax
alton system is devised whereby spec
ulative land owners of this type Will
be forced to either improve the land
or sell it to home-builders, he thinks
it will bring about an era OF develop
ment in the State. His idea is to tax
unimproved cultivable lands on ratio
to that of the same class OF improved
cultivabe lands.
There are thousands of acres OF
unimproved cultivable lands in this
State" Mr.. Weber said, that are be-
ing held by land owners for specula-
tive purposes Much of this land Is
not for sale, and that which is for
sale is held at exhorbitant prices. An
nually when the assessments are re-
viewed the owners appear either in
person or by counsel and plead for low
assessments on the ground that their
land is unimproved and Is not pro-
ducing anything. Almost invariably
they have been able to get off with a
small assessment, which means low
taxes
often these lands adjoin farms that
are among the best in the State. The
adjoining farms are assessed to their
full value because the land is in
high state of cultivation through the
thrift and energy of the farmers who
own them.
"The unimproved ard is just as rich
in soil as that which is in cultivation
If improved and placed in cultivation
it would produce crops as bountnully
| as the adjacent farms. The owners
| are making no improvements and are
only. The more farms that are placed
in cultivation adjacent to these large
tracts just more valuable they become
This has brought about situation
whereby the home-builder and the
home-owner is penalized. He is forced
to pay taxes on high valuation be
cause he has done something for him
self and his State, while the specu
lator gets off with small tax bill
Il am in favor Of going after these
land-hogs by the taxation route. Tax
alton of such lands should be on 8
ratio to the same class of lands in
cultivation. Then the land-hogs would
be compelled to do one Of two things
improve their property so as to make
it productive, or sell it.
"If they improve the land, they
would be placed on the same footing
with owners of adjacent cultivated
land. If they decided to sell it rather
than improve it or pay the increased
taxes, the land would pass into the
hands of homeseekers and hometown
ers. That would bring prosperity anC
development to the State, for il these
valuable tracts of lands are thrown or
the market it will attract thousands
| of homeseekers from other parts O
| the country.

certain style of hat. And so 1t goes,
the moral seemingly being to find a

brings out the individual type, and
purchase hats accordingly.

Picturesque shapes which droop on

large veil is often worn with such
hats.
Crowns are often soft crushable

seen everywhere.
Gray in its various tones of moon

MY DEARS:

There is a question in the minds
of many Polly readers as to whether
the shopping department of The Bee
will do sale shopping.
With the different ready-to-wear
houses taking a big loss on each
item of apparel sold, the managers
| OF departments are. naturally a bit
reluctant to let things leave their
shops for out-of-town purchasers un-
less they feel that the garments sent
out are bona fide sales.
For that reason, please understand
that everything ordered should be
taken with the assurance that Polly's
best judgment has selected this par
tlcular garment with careful COM
parisons of prices, that it is indeed
the best to be had for the money and
that it is sale if the size is at all
right.
Send checks or money orders with
letters, please, made payable to the
firm whose advertisement you have
read, or payable to Polly. the Shop.
