FooZinq the People.

If it is the business of government
to make the greatest nuisance OF it,
self to the largest number of people
with the smallest returns, then Con
gress should by all means enact into
law Secretary Melons proposals
to pla ce ten dollar tax on all auto
mobiles, a two cent stamp tax on all
bank checks and to raise the letter
postage to three cents.
Persons of an inquisitive turn of
mind may wen ask themselves what
Senator Lusk got for fathering a law
giving the subway contractors seven
ty million dollars extra pay, when he
got dinners, flowers, Joy rides and
silverwares for engineering hundred
thousand dollar raid on the New York
Treasury!
Much of the trouble that this
country, and, for that matter, every
other country is experiencing, can be
traced to- it's politicians, for the
simple reason that these gentlemen
know the game of politics and very
little more. A country's welfare
does not depend upon its politics,
but upon its economics. Economics
to the average politician and law
maker is sealed book. He does
not know that economics is an inter-
national question and that political
frontiers do not affect the truths
which it establishes.
Just because politicians know moth
ing of economics they expected, for
example, that Germany could pay
the indemnity saddled on them by
the Treaty of Versailles without at
the same time running industry and
commerce all over the world. They
expected that Central Europe could
be kept in economic servitude at the
margin of subsistence without at the
same time running the prosperity of
the Allied countries. They expect
that Silesia can be arbitrarily par
titioned without setting up con-
tinuous economic disorder in Europe
and they also expect that Europe is
able to recuperate in the face of the
tarriff-wall set up against her pro-
ducts by the United States.
Isn't it about time that the poll
ticians with all their displayed ig-
norance be relegated to a rear seat
and the worlds economists be given
an opportunity to formulate ways
and means to save the world from
chaos by. setting in motion we'll es-
tablished rules of economics?
= 1t is generally claimed that the
last war was fought for the purpose
of ending all wars. This, as has
been proven, is a very expensive
procedure. Not only that, but it
has also given vigorous impetus
to subsequent peace-time military
expenditures. This is strikingly
illustrated in the figures given out in
the House of Commons, recently
The army estimates for 1913-14 and
1920-21 given by the British Secre
tary of War read as follows for the
United States, Great Britain, France
and ia pan, respectively:

latHro. will become operative on The

4 ize values for assessment purposes as
fixed by the assessors. II was charged
that only in rare instances did the
police juries comply with the law,
which contemplated a systematic re
view OF all individual assessments.
The Legislature decided to change
the system and created parish boards
of equalization, composed OF three
members. two to be selected by each
police Jury and the third member by
the Board of State Affairs. The new
boards are required to meet on the
first Monday in May each year to ex-
anime valutiOns returned by the BOard
Of State Affairs. The new boards are
required 10 meet on the first Monday
in May each year to examine Vaiua-
tions returned by the assessors. In
equallzing values the boards are re-
uuired TO consider certain kinds or
property by classes, such as live stock,
vehicles, machinery, tools, oil and log
ging equipment, town property. etc
Taxpayers desiring to test the cor
rectness of values placed on their
property may appear before the boards
and make complaint such claims as
are allowed by the boards being SUD
iect to final review by the Board or
State Affairs.
In the parish of Orleans the board
OF equalization is composed OF the
Board of Assessors and three mem
beers of the Commission Council

The police juries of the parishes are
considering the appointment OF their

HOUSING SITUATION
WILL Be TAKEN UP
Estimates Place Shortage In
America of l,250,0O0
Buildings.

Washington-Esti placing the
shortage OF houses in America at
more than l,250,0O0 will be placed
before the national council OF the
Chamber OF Commerce OF the United
States at meeting to be held In
Washington Jan. q and 2s, which
will discuss measures 10 relieve the
situation.
For a number OF years prior to
the world war" said John Ihlder,
manager OF the national chambers
civic development department. 1T is
conservatively estimated that there
were erected In the United States
between 100000 and 100000 family
dwellings a year This includes homes
and apartments. During the war
construction OF houses was practically
at standstiii with the exception Of
what building was done by the gov
eminent AS a result of this We came
out OF the war far behind our regular
building program. In 1919 1t is esti-
mated that there were built only about
10000 houses in the United States,
while those erected during 1920 will
probably turn out to have been even
smaller than that figure.
while it is true there are many
houses for sale these are nearly all
now occupied by tenants. The NUM-
Der of houses for rent in most com
munities is practically nil. and the
majority of these houses are not
suitable for the needs of the average
wage Garner. A man with an income
of $4,000 year or more does not
have as much trouble getting desira
BILE quarters as the wage Garner who
can not afford to pay high rents. The
wage Garner and those having small
salaries are the ones hit hardest by
the housing shortage. 1t is for these
folks that decent homes must be
built"
