PROCEEDINGS OF
LA. LEGISLATURE
A Total Of f31 Bills Tnfro-
duced in Both Houses
Since Beginning.

Baton Rouge, La.-Many bills deal.
ing with different phases of assess
ments and taxations have been intro
duced in the Louisiana legislature and
many more will find their way into the
legislative hopper before the lid goes
down on the introduction OF measures
on June 6. Several are in process of
incubation. Among the bills are a
number designed to put on an income
tax. The new constitution authorizes
the legislature to impose an income
tax in 1924. Income tax advocates IN
the senate and house take the posi-
ton that if an income tax is good in
1924 1t is good in 1928, and they are
planning to submit an amendment to
the constitution to make an income tax
operative January /, next.
Discussion of an income tax has
revealed three factions in the legisla-
ture. One faction is opposed to an in
come tax in any form and will fight
the scheme to the last ditch. The 9TH
er two factions are composed of in
come takers. One faction is seeking
to impose high income tax that will
yield a large revenue. The other fav-
ors light or moderate income tax in
a simplified form that will reach a
prosperous class of people with large
incomes who are paying little, if any,
taxes now.
Efforts are being made among the
income takers to bring their factions
together on a bill imposing a mod
crate tax on which both factions can
stand. Conferences are being held
Income tax advocates assert that one
of their objects is to secure enough
revenue from that source to enable
the legislature to reduce the state tax
rate from 5A mills to about 81 mills
The Browne and Schell bills intro.
duced the first week of the session to
change the ALLEGATION of the severance
tax by taking large portion of it
from the Greater Agricultural College
and putting it in the general fund are
resting in the senate and house COM
mittees to which they were referred.
No move toward bringing the meas
ure out on the floors of the two houses
was made by either side during the
week.
A lively fight has developed in the
house over the ALLEGATION of the inher-
itance tax. Until last year that tax,
which amounted to small sum, went
to the public school fund At the last
regular session of the legislature
law was passed increasing the tax. In
the meantime the constitutional con-
vention, in authorizing the tax, put
clause in the new constitution placing
the tax at the disposition of the legis-
lature. At the special session the leg
islature allocated it to the general
fund
Under the new schedule the tax in
1921 reached a total of $287, ,85O55, as
shown by the report of the state audi
tor. For the present year the tax, it is
estimated, will yield more than $780,
900, ]. Martin Hamley of East Car
roll introduced bill to place the tax
in the school fund.
Twenty-four bills have been intro
duced in the senate and 1O7 in the
house or a total of 131 bills in the
two houses since the beginning of the
session.

Mrs. John Cooter, Claus Christensen,

Mrs. w. T. Ball, Mrs. Ernest Parrish.
Because Of the fact that Mr.. Brown
of o. A. C. was principal speaker o,
the day, dinner was served early in
order that Mr.. Brown could take the
outgoing train. The dinner needs no
comment as all grangers who have
visited with the Elk City grange are
aware of its good qualities.
After dinner the Grange was opened
in the fifth degree but was closed in
this degree shortly and opened in the
fourth to allow all grangers the op-
portunity to take part in the business
program.
S. w. Scoville was acting master as
Mr.. Loudon was detained at home by
the influenza. This absence is the
first one that can be recorded against
him in his many years service as mas
ter of the Pomona Grange.
The matter Of a delegate to the
state grange was very quickly settled
as the choice of the grange was unan-
imous in favor of Conrad Thompson of
Lincoln Grange at Ona.
The oranges of Lincoln county are
very anxious to entertain the State
Grange at Newport in 1923. This
means much work for the local
oranges, also calls for the raising or
fairly large sum Of money to be used
in entertaining. A committee was ap.
pointed at previous Pomona to take
up this matter with the commercial
bodies, hotel men, and business men
of Newport and Toledo but as the
committee had been unable to func-
tion up to the present time it was re-
appointed. On this committee are S.
T. Loudon master of the Pomona
Grange, chairman, to be assisted by
John E. Cooter and S. ". Scoville.
