81 TOLD you So"

Opelousas, La, March %, 1922.
To the Editor Clarion-Progress:
Now that almost everybody is ours
ing and damming the tax commission,
formerly the Board Of State Affairs,
it may not be amiss to recall how the
members Of the house voted upon this
measure.
1t was made the special order of
the day for June 28th, 1916, and one
hundred votes were cast for its pas
sage. Only nine voted against it.
They were Bennett of Washington,
Carroll, of Sabine, Carruth of East
Feliciana, Dupre Of St. Landry, Jor-
dan Of Richmond, Moresi Of Iberia,
Richardson Of Bienville, Theriot of
Terrebonne, Winn Of Claiborne.
That it might become effective it
was necessary to amend articles 225
226 Of the constitution. Bowell's houss
bills Nos. 241 and 252 being compan-
ion measures. When the motion to
amend the constitution came up, i'm
mediately following the adoption Of
house bill 241, only three members
voted against it. These were Dupre
Of St. Landry, Moresi Of Iberia, Rich
ardson Of Bienville.
l went home, called q meeting and
stated to the people Of st. Landry
what hundred per cent valuation of
their property would lead to. They
cast majority Of six hundred against
the amendment. The country defeat
ed the amendment, but Boss Behr-
man turned the tide. So that, I am
well within the mark when I assert 81
told you SOL" and am I further within
the mark, When i seek to relieve the
people from this one hundred per
cent valuation, which is confiscating
their homes.
Yours truly,
