SCHOOL CHILDREN
TO URGE POLL TAX
To Be Used as Medium to Remind
Parents of Their Duty.

Superintendent H. P. Broussard Of
the parish school board has directed
a letter to each IF the principals of
the schools in this parish asking them
to bring the matter of paying poll
taxes to the attention of the children
attending the schools. Mr.. Broussard
believes the children can be used as a
medium to urge their parents to per-
form their civic duy. His letter to
the principals reads:
"You are aware, I am sure, that
all poll taxes collected are turned
over to the current school fund of
the school board. Principals and
teachers will perform a civic duty,
as we'll as assist the school board fl
lnancially, if they will use the school
children as a powerful medium to
bring home to their parents the ne
eessity Of paying promptly their poll
taxes before December 81. Every
man and woman of voting age should
qualify themselves to vote in the
General Elections which will take
place in 1924 and unless they pay
their poll taxes this year they shall
be barred from participating in these
elections two years hence. The
voters will most probably be called
upon to decide serious and grave
questions affecting the welfare Of the
state and parish and they should be
prepared to do so. May, I ask that
you give this matter your serious at
tention and that you urge your teach
ers strongly to assist you. AS teach
ers of hundreds of children, from as
many homes, you have an opportunity
denied to many and hope you will
not fail in taking advantage in per-
forming this civic duty and assist
the school materially in it's finances"

STATE CAN TAX PRODUCTS.
Supreme Court Upholds Ruling Made
BY Interstate Commission.

States may tax products produced
within their borders before such pro
duets enter interstate commerce, even
though other states are large consul
mers of such products and do not
produce them, the supreme court held
last week in decision handed down
in case challenging the constitutions
ality of the tax imposed by Pennsyl-
vania on anthracite and was announ-
ced by Justice McKenna, no dissents
being noted.
The Importance Of the decision was
emphasized by North Atlantic and
New England states denouncing the
tax as giving Pennsylvania a monop-
oily and as levying tribute on those
states which do not produce but
which must have the anthracite as
fuel.
Two questions were presented, one
whether Pennsylvania in taxing an
thracite and not bituminous coal had
not Disseminated illegally in it's class
lfication and the other whether it was
not tax on interstate commerce. It
was contended by those opposing the
VA IiisI IL sustained ny the supreme
court, wheat and corn producing
states could tax such grains, the
southern states cotton, and manufac-
turing states could impose a tax on
manufactured products.
Whether any state law or action
mpmges on interstate commerce,
justice Mckcnna declared, depends
upon the law or action, and not upon
What may be said as to the motive
for it.
1. "A tax upon articles in one state
mat are destined for use in another
s1ate,' he said, "cannot be called a
regulation of interstate commerce."

COURT RULES ON BATHS.
Bath Per Month Held Insufficient fo,
Married Mem.

A very important ruling as regards
married men was made by Judge R.
R. Carr of the Fulton circuit court,
Indiana, last week, in which the judge
intimated that a bath once month
was not enough for married man.
The jurist made clear his position
in the matter in awarding a divorce
to Mrs. Melton Alspach, who made
the allegation that her husband, a
machinist, seldom took bath and
the year around he did not average
more than one bath month.
Although there were other charges,
Judge Carr held this allegation con-
stituted sufficient grounds for a di-
vorce.

CITY IS EQUIPPED
WITH FINE RADIO
SENDING STATION
Messages Can Be Broadcasted for
Fifty Miles From City
With Instrument.

Donaldsonville has a radio broad
casting, or sending station. 1t has
proven radius of fifty miles and it
is probable this will be extended sew
| eral times more in the near future.
| The station is located in the third
moor OF the Walter Lemann residence
in Iberville street. The station is
in charge of Walter Lemann, Jr., who
is licensed by the United States gov
crnment as a radio operator, anna
tcur first grade, and the station is
also Licensed by the government. 1t
is authorized to send messages at
anytime except during the first ff-
teen minutes of each hour. It is
known to the outside world as station
S G. H.
Very few of the smaller cites are
thus equipped with radio sending in
struments and by it's means Donald
sonville need never be completely cut
off from the rest of the world. Should
some catastrophe occur which would
destroy all the wires leading out of
Donaldsonville, this city yet has its
station to summon aid or give mes
sages to other cities within fifty miles
of here and in short time a much
greater distance will be reached.
Young Mr.. Lemann, just 13 years
old, has installed this station himself.
Christmas of last year his father
gave him small radio receiving in
strument and the young man at once
became greatly interested in the
study of radio transmission. He de-
voted himself almost night and day
to learning this new science with the
result that within one short year he
has mastered many of its intricacies
and as been qualified by the govern
ment as an operator. When it ID
considered that a competent radio
operator must acquire the technical
understanding and theory Of electric
ity necessary for one to become a
first-class electrical engineer, the sue
cess of the young lad, only thirteen
years of age, is certainly remarkable.
In addition to the broadcasting or
sending station young Mr.. Lemann
has also installed in his radio room
complete receiving station which
has an immense proven radius ex-
tending from Denver on the west to
Charlotte, North Carolina on the east,
and from Detroit, on the north to
Havana, Cuba, on the south. AL
hough this station has only been in
stalled recently it has already heard
from twenty-four stations and all
clearly as if the concerts, addresses
and orchestras were performing in
the next room. ~The following are
among the cities which have been
recognized by Mr.. Lemann:
Detroit, Denver, Kansas City, St.
Louis, Louisville, Atlanta Journal, At
lanta Constitution, Forth Worth,
Davenport, Dallas, Charlotte, N. c.,
Jefferson City, Mo-, San Antonio,
Ames, Iowa, Anthong, Kansas, New
Orleans, Birmingham, Toledo, Col
lege Park, Ga, Nashville, Havana,
Cuba.
