Baton Rouge, La.-StOrm clouds
hovered over the Constitutional Con
vention when that body took its usual
weekend adjournment. The issues
that indicated the approach OF a series
Of storms were:
/. Demand OF the parishes with nat
ural resources for a slice OF the sew
erance tax fund.
2. Movement by some OF the dele
gates to divert large portion Of the
severance taxes into the general fund
g. Proposed taxation OF oil. gas and
other mineral leases on basis OF pro-
duction.
A. Attempt to prevent the greater
agricultural college from getting the
benefit OF severance taxes.
5. Opposition in certain quarters to
the proposed tax of l mill after 1924
for the support and maintenance Of
the greater agricultural college.
g. Efforts to prohibit the use OF nat
ural gas in the manufacture OF carbon
black.
The fight over a division OF the sew
erance tax presents several angles.
One is the demand Of parishes with
natural resources that they be per
mitted to bite into the severance tax
plum. Another Is the declaration from
Governor Parker that there was a tacit
agreement with those who are paying
the severance tax that ii would not be
increased Still another is the pro
test OF the interests affected that a
raise in the tax would be a breach OF
faith. And still another is the atti-
tude OF parishes receiving no revenue
from natural resources. These par
ishes contend that the natural re-
sources belong to the entire state, and
il there is to be "A division Of the sew
erance taxes, these parishes wish to
get in on the "divvy.'
Another group wants the severance
tax money to go into the general fund.
Oil and gas land owners who have
been notified by the assessing author
tiles that they will be taxed for 1921
on a basis OF production are seeking
to pass the taxation buck to the par
ties who hold the leases. Land own
ers object to the tax hoist because
they claim, the leaseholders are the
ones who are making the money
Therefore, they want the leases taxed
on a basis Of production. To this the
leasehoiders offer violent objection
They claim the severance tax load
that they are carrying is enough.
A small group is making fight
against the greater agricultural col
