CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
AND PUBLICITY

Thus far the constitutional conVen-
ton has accomplished at least one
thing. 1t has made it possible for
designing politicians and advocates
Of propositions that will not stand the
light of public scrunity ito put It
over" tho dear people about whom
some Of the delegates are so eXcoS-
eively solicitous. They have changer
the constitutional provision. requiring
the publication once week Tor ten
weeks OF proposed amendments 70
the constitution, reducing the number
of public ,tiCns to two, which is glar-
ingly insufficient. A large number
of the electors Of the sttae will not
have the opportunity to which they
are emitted OF familiarizing tnem-
selves with the provisions of the pro-
posed amendments submitted TO them
for adoption or rejection, and a cor
rect and honest expression of the
popular will will be impossible.
incidentally, the country newspa-
Ders, whcih are community-builders,
are dealt blow by being deprived Of
patronage. The number Of insertions
is so limited and the legal rate for
that kind OF official matter so low
that it will pay the newspapers not
TO handle it.
This is a piece Of work that the
members of the convention should be
proud of. To make it possible to fool
the people at elections and to cripple
country newspapers whose lot is al.
ready hard is a wonderful accomplish
ment.-St. Bernard Voice.

Industrial institute Notes

The institute machine shop has re-
ceived this week a Henday shaper-
one Of the finest machine tools made.
The price is 100000. With this ma
chine a great many different kinds
Of wo:k can be done, not possible
with tools such as lathes, ETC, that
the shop already had. This shop is
now becoming in every respect a prac-
tical shop capable of doing CONNER
cial work. The object of the instruc-
ton given to the federal board stu
dents is to fit them for immediate
employment in commercial machine
shops. The work to be turned out
in this shop will therefore be of com.
mercial value, and II there is any
machine shop work that anyone wants
done by amateurs, under the direction
of experts. the institute shop will be
glad to undertake it if it is something
they can do.
Two rehearsals were held this week
on the frcnt lawn by all the students
and faculty of the institute. for the
May day festival next WedE esday af-
ternoon. The affair gives promise
of being a great success. Free to the
public. Wednesday, May 4, at $50

LIMIT ON STATE TAXATION

The convention is wrestling with
the problem of taxation and it is
agreed that five and one-quarter mills
for all state purposes is sufficient.
That is, people outside of the conven-
ton think so, but there is no way Ct
telling whether the convention itself
will view the matter in the same
light.
There is a general cry all over the
state against any increase in the
burden OF taxation. VIII the con-
vention lend listening and needing
ear to this stentorfan cry?
Assessments have leaped rapidly
upward and the old rate of taxation
produced heavy drain on the income
of the taxpayers. There has been
some slight reduction in the rate of
mflEage, but not enough to reduce the
total amount the taxpayers Clipped
In to the state treasury.
We heard some years ago that prop
erty in this state was not properly
assessed and that the rate of millage
was entirely out of proportion. The
doctrine was preached that property
should be assessed for one hundred
per cent of it's value and the millage
lowered accordingly. Examples of
the system in vogue in progressive
states were cited to prove the good
of such a system in this state, and
gradually the champions Of the cause
put it over in Louisiana. But they
did not lower the miIlage as fast as
they raised the valuation, and this
discrepancy has proved the source Of
the trouble which afflicts the taxpay-
ers of the state. This is the disease
which the convention is called on to
cure-will it prove equal to the oc-
casion?
According to the ideas of many, all
the trouble OF high taxation had it's
inception when the state board OF
affairs was created. This borad IS
clothed with extreme powers and par
ish assessors are now in the role OF
mere clerks of that body and must do
its bidding as to the matter of val
station. Its membership is appointed
by the governor and the people direct
1y have nothing whatever to do with
it's creation or any say as to what 1t
shall do in the matter Of placing val
uation OF tlcir T~operty. This de-
feet the convention should cure and
.unaess it does so tie thunder cloud OF
high taxes will continue to threaten
the people, - H.. .'"-s-

RAID ON TREASURY
CHARGED BY DUPRE
ISSUES A STATEMENT TO PEG
PIE ON RAISE OF JUDGES
SALARY

Baton Rouge, La, April 29.-Judge
Gilbert L. Dupre Of Opelousas, issued
the following statement:
81 have just rendered by resigna-
ton as member of the judiciary
committee Of the constitutional con-
vention now in session and l think
it right and proper that the people
of the state, and more particularly
the voters of st. Landry, who sent me
here, should know the reasons that
actuated my resignation from that
honorable body.
"A sub-commit:c Of hat body was
appointed to re-district the judicial
districts. They ascertained that there
were a number of judges on the
bench with nothing to do and for this
reason they recommended, unanimous
ly, that the number of judges be de-
creased from thirty-seven to twenty
nine. Another subcommittee report
ed that the salaries of the district
Judges should be increased from 3d.
900 to $4,000.
THE ordinance was not clear as
to when the salaries should go into
effect. introduced an amendment
to have the salries go into effect
when the Twenty-Five judges would
hove more work to do, and for which
their salaries had been increased from
So 900 to $4,000, but the committee
by vote of twenty-five to five, de-
cided thai the pay of the judges
should become effective upon the
adoption OF the constitution. This
means that eight district judges who
have been found without work to do
and who will be discharged at the end
of their terms, three years and six
months hence, are to be retained on
the payroll and their salaries in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000. These
eight judges with scarcely anything
to do are going to receive an increase
of $4,000 per annum, aggreg2ting $48,-
900, in the next three years, and the
twenty-nine judges who are not to
have additional work imposed upon
them until 1924 are forthwith paid ST.
900 additional. Thirty-seven judges at
$1,000 more will aggregate $4,000
per annum, and in three years this
will amount to $222,OOO which we will
have paid to judges who are under
worked and who are being now over
paid, although underworked.
81 was willing to increase the sal,
aries of the judges who were given
additional work, but l was not will
ing to pay them in advance of the
time they would enter upon the dis
charge of their duties.
81 consider this a robbery Of the
taxpayers, and l did not wish to be
associated with committee who had
voted that way. The state is strand
ed, financially, and yet salaries are
being raised and officials are being
paid who are confessedly without any
thing to do and who are to be made
to perform additional services later
on, and yet are being paid in advance
Of the time when their duties will be
enlarged.
Il want it distinctly understood that
l am not rejecting upon any member
Of the committee, who are probably
actuated by motives as pure and as
honorable as mine; but | feel that this
is an unwarranted raid upon the treas
ury of the state, to which l did not
desire to be a party"
