Blunder Will Prevent Severance Tax
Legislation.

Baton Rouge, Oct. 10. There
will be no severance tax legisla-
ton at this extra session, and it
is said j. Wallace Alexander, in
PRODUCER of the administration
bill, will Withdraw it when it is
reported back to the House from
the ways and means committee.
This situation has developed
from the discovery of a sensa-
tional blunder in the new con-
stitution which omitted the ward
license before the word tax.
The legal authorities long since
ruled that a severance tax"
would be Unconstitutional, but
a severance license" would stand.
1t will be necessary to amend
the new constitution at the con-
gressional election in 1922 and
until that time the old 2 per cent
severance tax will be the only
tribute collected from the natu-
raj resources. 1t will be impos-
sible to obtain the 215 per cent
levied by the new constitution
and the whole matter must rest.
This was the decision of lead
ers of both houses as the week
closed. Failure of any progress
sive severance tax legislation
will be general disappointment
throughout the State.

versity, with Major ]. @. Lee, Dept. OF
For. and Hort, L. 8. u, a. Director
About ESQ men and women from the
various Florida Parishes attended this
forestry meeting, bringing with them
large baskets filled with lunch and
other good things to eat The forestry
camp furnished them with barbecued
beef and goat and coffee, and everyone
had plenty. This meeting was very IN
formal and the subjects of how to pre-
vent fires and the results that can be
obtained from reforestration were dis
cussed.
Mr.. J. X. Johnson OF Bogalusa pre-
sided as Chairman. Mr.. Geo. C. knight,
. local farmer and . member Of the
School Board, opened the meeting with
prayer. Professor J. @. Lee made the
address OF Welcome. In his address
he emphaaixed the fact that forestry
and farming 60 hand In hand and
made special plea that all Idle acres
should produce either farm or timber
crops. An important point brought
out was the fact that the lumbermsn
Of Louisiana are gladly cooperating
with forestry, a. oncs upon 4 time
their ideas were all destructive log
ging, but through the rapid depletion
OF timber realize that now q plan
OF constructive forestry Il essential
for the future. On the subject Of fire,
Major Lee emphasized the fact that
they not only kill young timber but
ruin the succulent grasses OF the range,
the fertility Of the soil, and endanger
the improvements Of farms adjacent to
the cut-over lands. He closed his adj
dress. with the plea that the farmers
have more such meetings not only for
their social benefit but also to inter-
change ideas for successful farming
and forestry.
Mr.. J. X. Johnson made the response
to the address Of welcome in behalf Of
the citizens Of Washington Parish. He
described briefly the reforestration
plans Of the Great Southern Lumber
Company and asked for the coopera-
tion Of all citizens. He wound up with
. statement that II this company's ex-
perimeats were successful not only
would the Great Southern Lumber
Company benefit by them but also ev-
cry citizen in that community would
gain either directly or indirectly. He
also offered free range to the local cit
liens on the fenced-in areas Of the
latest tract to be reforested.
The Hon. N. ]. Sylvest. member
Of the legislature, then followed and
laid stress on the fact that the great
est factor In successful undertakings
Is public opinion, therefore the public
must interest itself and help cooperate
IN the enforcement Of the existing for
estry laws. The meeting then ad-
Iourned for dinner.
After dinner Mr.. Dan Sheridan, local
timber and cattle ran, stated how he
had for years fired the woods. About
! year ago ne suddenly realized the
heavy loss he had inflicted upon both
he range and young timber: since
hen he has fought ali fires and has CO
operated with the Department Of Con-

BEAUTY CULTURE HINTS

There is real common sense
in just noticing whether the
hair is we'll kept to Judge of a
woman's neatness, or good taste.
5 If you are one of the few who
try to make the most of your
hair, remember that it is not
advisable to wash the hair with
any cleanser made for all pur-
poses, but always use some good
shampoo. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some can
throx from your druggist, dis
solve a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full
cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead OF just the top
of the head. Dandruff, excess
sily and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair
will be sc fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its lus-
ter and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which
inspires hair growth.-Adv.
