Taxation in Louisiana Under Ne
Constitution.
Baton Rouge, La, June 49,
Will you pay more taxes unde
the new, than under the old con
, stitution?
Letters are being received her,
from people over the state ask
ing that question. Taxing au
thorities are busy trying to fig
ure out How old is Ann?"
AS a general proposition, tn.
answer is "Yes?"
In specific cases, NO"
1t will take months and per.
haps until the end of the presen,
fiscal year to determine just how
the people who pay the freight
will fare under the new organic
law.
Generally speaking, however,
some interesting deductions can
be made even at this date, as the
convention closes.
| PARISH LIMIT UP HALF MILL.
The parish tax limit has been
raised one half mill. 1t is now
S mills. out of which III mills
were allotted to schools, leaving
80 mills for the parish. The
straight parish limit will now be
A mills, with schools in a special
schedule.
There is no change in the
school levy outside of Orleans:
The state giving 211a for schools
in the parishes.
In Orleans, the limit has been
placed at Z mills, allowing the
levying of the full amount; So
mills for buildings and repairs.
Municipal tax limit has been
lifted from 5 to z mills.
Sabine parish under special
provision, will be authorized to
levy IL mills for courthouse
bonds, under the Ponder amend
ment.
Automobile and gasoline taxes
are carried in a seperate sched-
ule.
STATE PROPERTY TAX.
Severance taxes imposed upon
natural resources stand alone.
There's no change in the states
general property tax. It is linz
tied to 81 mills advalorem, but
with constitutional proviso that
in case of necessity the legisIa-
ture. by a two-third vote, may
increase that limit to 81 mills.
There is no way of figuring the
tax and the income
tax. it is up to the legislature.
To be more specific, the indi-
vidual taxpayer may find his own |
case in the following:
If you live in the country, out
side of a town, you will pay the |
same tax as at present; Is mill
more parish tax.
If you live in a municipality in
the parishes, you pay Is mill |
more parish, and 2 mills more
municipal taxes.
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS HIT.
If you own an automobile, it's
operation under the Sanders road
scheme, will be about 211 times
what it is now, or 200 per cent
increase. It's anew tax burden. |
If you operate a farm tractor,
The gasoline tax will figure as a
new farm tax in the making of
! crop. Tractors are now ex-
used in the rice Sec
ions.
Automobile owners estimate
hat so to 60 gallons of gasoline
,er month is a fair estimate of
consumption; some will use less,
many will use more. Tractors,
consume more gas in proportion.

Mr.. Westwood wourd abolish all the
courts of record. except the Court OF Ap-
pcals and the Supreme Court The for
mer he would have composed OF five
parts. One part. OF three members. ne
would have sit on circuit. The other
four parts, composed of seven members
each, he would have sit in Albany TO
hear appeals direct from the Supreme

by referring il to the commit

slderation by referring it to the commit
tee OF the whole.
The subject OF the rGmpus was the
Comptrollers report 10 the commission
last week in which he charged that the
Corporation Counsel had placed the city
i'm position TO lose more than 100000
in the Astoria ferry condemnation pro-
ceedings by his failure 20 submit 10 the
court the ferry companys figures show
ing the company valued its property at
less than the city's appraisers. The Cor
poration Counsel admitted he had rot
submitted the figures TO the court. but
did not explain why.
Mr. OBrlen's grievance against the
Comptroller. as nearly as it could be
learned amid the uproar and the banging
OF tbs -iayor-s gave. was that in rnak-
ing public his report the Comptroller lad
failed to give the newspapers two facts
that the Corporation Counsel thought
they should have had. One was that the
Comptroller's own appraisers valued the
property at q higher figure than tie
Corpora ton Counsers, and the other WAS
that the Comptroller conferred with the
Corporation Counsel prior to having the
case presented in court.

COMPTROLLER DUNS
BOARDOF EDUCATION
Demands Immediate Payment
of $4,000 Due Since
1918 for Claims.

Comptroller Charles T.. Craig con-
tinued yesterday his attack upon tho
Poard OF Education by sending to the
Beard of Estimate a communication. for
consideration to-day, demanding that de-
lay end in the payment of more than
s770. 900 which the Board OF Education
has owed since 1alS for services. sup
plies and materis and refund of sal
aries due teachers, At the same time
the Comptrolles communicated with
Aiming s. l'rall President of the Board
Of Education, and demanded that the
Board of Education adopt to-day the
necessary resolutions 70 discharge its
obligations.
This $4,000 OF indebtedness. the
Comptroller pointed out is the fruit OF
the first acts OF the Board of Educa ton
Immediately after it was appointed by
Mayor Hylan, in that the board spent
right and left public money that never
had been appropriated TO IL, which ex-
pendture has since been held Illegal by
the Supreme Court and the Court OF
Appeals. In the same decision, handed
down months ago, the court held that,
though illegally incurred, the claims
were equitable ard should be paid. In
spite of that decision. the Comptroller
charges. the Board of Education las
withheld payment upon advice of the
Corporation Counsel.
In addition the Comptroller charges
that Mayor Hylan. +. III. La Guardia.
President of the Board OF Aldermen. and
Maurice Il. Connolly, President OF the
Borough of Queens. have increased the
budget for 1921 by nearly $1,o00.0 900
and diminished to that extent the money
available for schools this year by their
refusal to allow the transfer according
to law of unexpended Board of Educa-
tion balances TO the reduction of tax
alton
1T is quite clear said the Comp
troller, that the thing uppernost in the
minds of those sponsoring this operation
was not the payment of teachers re-
funds, pension liabilities or of equitable
claims but to save the Board OF Educa-
tion from the stigma Of illegalty at
tached to its course of action and to
transfer that stigma to the Comptroller
and Illustrate his efforts to deal with
appropriations in the payment Of claims
in the manner provided by law"
The Comptroller wrote to David
Hirshfield, commissioner OF Accounts,
who at the instance of the Mayor, now
is investigating Mr.. Craig. demanding
to know what became OF the investiga-
ton the Mayor ordered him two years
ago to make into the Board OF Educa-
ton. The following paragraph from
the Comptroller's letter to Hirshheld in
dicated that the Comptroller contem-
plates action of some sort against the
Commissioner:
please advise me whether such ex-
animation has been concluded, and IL so
whether the result thereof has been re-
ported to the Board of Aldermen, as re-
quired by the charter, and. IL not. when
the conclusion of such examination and
the submission Of such report may be
expected"
