czechosIovak Forests.

A novel feature of Czchoslovak for
est development is the principle that
the annual growth must equal or ex-
coed the annul cut. This is a wise and
farsighted policy. 1t is estimated that
100000 cubic meters OF fire wood
and e.4OO,O 600 cubic meters Of CONNER
cial timber are cut yearly. The guam
tity used for fuel during and since the
war will be greatly reduced, In the
very near future, through stimulated
production of bituminous. coal, Ignite
and oil. At the prevailing prices for
lumber competent authorities estimate
the value of the annual timber cut to
be about $120,0O0,00e.

Need Of Home Ownership.

Robert e. Simon told the convention
of the Real Estate association OF
the state of New York held at Roches-
ter. that every effort should be made
TO encourage home ownership, wheth-
err In the single or two-family house,
or by cooperative ownership In the
multi-family house.
.The large percentage of tenantry
is one of the dangers in our country
today" said Mr.. Simon. while
France has so per cent of home own
ers. the United States census OF 1891
showed AS per cent, and 1910 only 80
ner cent; In 1920 it probably will be
still less. This tide must be stopped
and turned in the opposite direction"

bodied in an ordinance of seven

Houma, Jules G. Fisher, of JEFF

Edwards, of Abbeville, had plac-
ed themselves on record as OPP
posing the two cents per gallon
tax on gasoline, because of the
hardship which they claim will
accrue to the small fishermen and
boat owners on the lower coast.
1t is generally conceded that

you my opinion az to Wnen the
resolution adopted by the Con-
stitutional Convention, now in |
session on March 81. postponing |
the paymentef certain taxes be-
come effective.
The resolution directs you and
the various tax collectors of the
State, not to enforce the collec-
ton of the taxes for 1920 until
June 30. 1921, and further pro-
vides for the remission of the in
terest and such penalties as may
have been incurred by reason of
non-payment thereof. You are
doubtful a. to when this resolu-
ton becomes effective, whether
upon its passage. or when the
constitution itself is adopted and
promulgated.
In my opinion the resolution
forms no part Of the organic law
and il not q part Of the Consti-
tuition itself, which is intended
a. the basic law Of the State, but
is purely remedial in its charac-
ter, and has effect, not, as ordi-
nance Of the Convention, but as
embodying the will of the people
on a special subject in the way
of a remedy.whichis intended to
accomplish a specific purpose,
and which ceases to exist when
that purpose has been accom-
|plished.
There can be no question as to
the authority Of the Convention
to pass such a resolution. The
Convention itself Is the highest
order of public body. which de-
rives its authority. not from the
Legislature. but from the people
themselves. The Cow entio n
when onceiassemhled is sovereign
and, aastated, is above the Leg.
Iislature and Absolutely free from
its control, or even the control Of
the courts,
You do not. as / understand
lit, question the authority of the
Convention to pass the resolution
but, as heretofore stated, yot
have doubt only astosthe time j
should take effect. whether writ
ten In the Constitution or not, a
the result of an inherent powe
in the Convention which may b.
Exercised without. becoming
part of the Constitution, and a
such. dependent upon its ratifi
cation or PRONUNCIATION.
i /, therefore, hold that this res
olution took effect from its pass
age, and that it Is your duty an
| that of the various tax collector
of the State. to observe the ir
structions therein contained.
Years ry;truly,
i A. Y. Coco,
Attorney General.

Results of the Clean Up Campaign.

Results of the Clean Up Campaign.
The inspection Of the sanitary
condition of our town by the la
dies of the Civic League and
three members Of the Board of
Health, following the week for
a town-wide cleanup campaign,
revealed the fact that a great i'm
provement had been made in the |
sanitation of our community.
The civic pride manifested by |
most of our citizens in an earn
est endeavor to render our city |
the cleanest and most sanitary
in our State is a source of great
satisfaction to those who are
working so faithfully for this ac-
complishment.
While much has been attained
by the hearty cooperation OF most
of our citizens towards making
every place clean and sanitary,
yet there remains great deal
more to be done. if our town is
to be made free from flies, mos
quitoes, rats and many other
kinds of disease bearing insects
and vermin.
The hotels, restaurants and
bakery are not supplied with a
sufficient amount of wholesome
and potable water so that these
establishments might be kept as
clean and sanitary as the law
requires.
The owners of these place must
provide and furnish these build
ings and premises with an ade-
quate supply of water for drink
ing, cooking, washing and other
sanitary purposes, or else proper
steps will be taken to secure the
enforcement of this provision OF
the State and town sanitary ordi-
nance.
i The proprietors of all meat
markets, hotels and restaurants
have been furnished with a card
containing full instructions as to
the State and town sanitary reg
ulations and they are warned to
comply fully with these require
ments.
The parish Jail and town coun-
ell hall are very unsanitary and
: should be condemned for further
: use until thoroughly cleaned ane
! renovated.
3 The court house is in a fairly
: sanitary condition, except the
police jury room, which is I'm
: sanitary and some needed repairs
: on the toilet system.
q The conditions east Of the rail
8 road are very unsanitary from
: every stand point and should b
provided with drainage so tina
this section could be kept clean.
The ladies of the Civic Leagu
have done excellent work IN as
sisting the Board of Health i

! lie health of our town.

Tax Sales Post
poned to June 80
Attorney General Rules Penalties For
Non-payment be Dispensed I'm
til After That Date.

Attorney General Coco has
ruled that under a resolution
adopted by the constitutional
convention payment of taxes can
be deferred until June 80 with.
out increasing penalties, except
as to interest. Under this rul-
ing Sheriff Clinton is holding upI
the publication of the list OF de-.
linquent taxpayers until June 3d.
in order to save extra costs. The
resolution adopted by the con-
vention and the opinion of the
Attorney General are as follows:

ton adopted Resolution No. 81
by Mr.. DeRouen as follows:
A resolution to extend the time
of payment of taxes to June 80.
1921, without penalties except as
to interest.
Whereas, due to the fact that
many farmers, and other taxpay-
ers of this State, are financially
unable to pay their taxes at this
time due to the low prices at
which all agricultural products
are selling; and,
Whereas, to enforce the eotlee-
ton of taxes as now provided by
law would entail great damage
and loss to these taxpayers;
therefore be it
Resolved, by the Constitutions
al Convention of the State. Of
Louisiana, That it is the sense Of
this Convention that all penalties
whatsoever due or to become due
on taxes now uncollected. for the
taxes of 1920, other than those
of municipal corporations, in the
State of Louisiana be and the
same should be suspended anC
rendered uncollectible until June
80, 1921, and that the date OF
which the said penalties excep
interest shall begin to run ant
become collectible should be ex
tended to the Both day of June
1921, after which date the SAT-
penalties shall begin to run AM
become due and collectible; and
be it further
Resolved, That the Auditor o
Public Accounts and the Sheriff
and ex-officio tax collector
throughout the State are hereb
directed not to enforce the col
lection of same until after tn
above mentioned date; and. b
it further
Resolved, That the sheriffs an
ex-officio tax collectors, through
out the State, are hereby direct
ed to suspend advertisement .
property for sale, for the MOI
payment of taxes for the yea
1920, in this State, until the 3Ot
day of June, 1921. after whic
date they shall proceed to adve
tise the properties for all taxt
remaining unpaid, as now direc
ed by law.

SAYS MOSAIC
LAWS MODERN
Beveridge Cites Present Uses
of Ancient Ordinances
in Speech.
Special to The Times.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 1.-"No
lawyer can truthfully be said to be
deeply grounded in the science Of juris-
prudence unless he makes himself
familiar with the Mosaic ordinances"
declared Albert J. Beveridge, ex-senator
from Indiana, in an address before the
union meeting of religious denominations
here last night Mr.. Beveridge spoke
on the laws Of Moses
Ancient as they are" said Mr.. Bever-
idge 1.-THE laws Of Moses are startling
in their modernness. Many of the Mosaic
ordinances are up to- date even now; and
some Of them are so idealistic, so daring
Iy humane. that they would be totally
impracticable of application in the pres
ent state of the development of exist
ing society"
LAWS OF MOSES AS
RULES OF LIVING.
Mr. Beveridge said that in all Iitera-
ture there is no compendium Of rules Of
living more curious and interesting than
the laws OF Moses. To law students and
lawyers the study Of these ancient
statutes is invaluable, he said.
When we remember the age in which
these laws were written and executed,
we are almost dumfounded at the spirit
of liberty they display. Indeed, the en-
thusiast may be forgiven for finding in
the law Of Moses the germ Of democracy
The human fellowship In them is almost
unbelievable when one considers the
period and the circumstances. For ex-
ample, how many Of US realize that one
of the most emphatic OF the statutes OF
Moses was this: Thou shalt love they

CO,rlrJsSIoN COyERNNrENT.

Q. Give a brief outline Of the COM
mission form of government. NJ. NJ.
A The Commission Form of City
Government varies widely in the different
states. The characteristic feature is the
combining of all legislative and executive
powers in a single body, usually con-
sisting of about five to seven members.
These members are elected at large. The
mayor, as rule, is one Of the commits
sion, but has no more power than his
associates, though the official head OF
the city. The administrative work OF
the commission is divided into depart
ments, each, headed by one commissioner.
AS a safeguard. the commission form OF
government almost invariably includes
initiative, referendum and recall.
