Monroe, La-Judge Fred M. Od0m
n a decision handed down in Sixth
District Court at Monroe recently in
the case Of Guy P. Stubs VS. Joe Han
ma, Ouachita tax assessor, and the
Louisiana Tax Commission, sustained
the contention of the tax payers or

brought, that the assessed valuation

pany, Ltd, and others that the assess
or could not tax accounts OF 1921, III
accordance with d recent decision
of the Louisiana State Supreme Court.
The case of Stubs against the as
SCISSOR was one of the most important
suits in district court in years. 1t
was brought by the Ouachita Tax Pay
ors League composed of several OF
the leading tax payers of Ouachita
parish, including Monroe and West
Monroe.
Taxpayers at first petitioned the
Louisiana Tax Commission for relief
from high assessed valuation, claim
ing that Ouachita parish was being
Disseminated against, that lands in
Union and other parishes similarly
situated were not assessed at so great
q figure At the same time the tax
payers of Monroe claimed that the as
sessments in this city were based on
fictitious valuations that were the re-
suit of boom times in 1919-192O.
The Ouachita parish police jury
adopted resolution on November 10,
1921, protesting against the valuation
Of farm, suburban and city property
and submitted 1t to the Louisiana
Tax Commission. but the Commission
turned down the protest on November
is on the grounds that there was not
sufficient basis for reduction in the
value of Ouachita lands. This was
followed by the organization Of the
Ouachita Taxpayers League and the
filing of We suit by Mr.. Stubs, who
claimed that a normal assessment OF
1125, ass had been increased to $145,
10 and praying for writ Of injunc-
ton directed to Joe Hanna ct al, re-
sEraining him from increasing the as
esssment of the petitioner and from
extending and placing any increase
on the assessment roll The plaintiff
was represented by Attorney Percy
Eandel 1t Is understood that an ap-
peal will be taken by the assessor to

however, stepped in deep pit, and,
cutting his canteen in half, began to

water welled In, stronger volume

But Warren was too blind to see.
"Go-go" he whispered.
Cameron gazed down the gray
reaches of that forlorn valley, and
something within him that was nei-

woman's face. 1t was there in the
white moonlit shadows; it drifted in
the darkness beyond; it softened,
changed to that of young girl, sweet,
with the same dark, haunting eyes of
her mother. Cameron prayed to that
nameless thing within him, the spirit
of something deep and mystical as
life. He prayed for mercy to a wom-
an-for happiness to her child. Both
mother and daughter were close to
him then. Time and distance were
annihilated. He had faith-~he saw
into the future. The fateful threads
of the past, so inextricably woven
with his error, wound out their tragic
length here in this forlorn desert.
Cameron then took a little tin box
from his pocket, and, opening it, re-
moved folded certificate. He had
kept pen, and now he wrote some
thing upon the paper, and in lieu Of
ink he wrote with blood. The moon
afforded him enough light to see; and
having replaced the paper, he laid the
little box upon a shelf of rock. 1t
would remain there unaffected by
dust, moisture, heat, time. How long
had those painted images been there
clear and sharp on the dry stone
walls? Years would pass. Cameron
seemed to see them, too :; and likewise
destiny leading a child down into this
forlorn waste, where she would find
love and fortune, and the grave of her
father.
Cameron covered the dark, still face
Of his comrade from the light Of the
waning moon.
That action was the severing of his
hold on realities. They fell away
from him in final separation. Vaguely
| dreamily he seemed to behold his
soul. Night merged into gray day
and night came again, weird and dark
Then up out Of the vast void of the
desert, from the silence and Him
itableness, trooped his phantoms OF
peace. Majestically they formed
around him, marshaling and muster

to lay upon him their passionless
serenity.
