Baton Rouge, June 3.--The a Sylvest resolution to increase the t parish school tax from three mills I to four and one-half mills was re- r ported favorable Wednesday af- r ternoon by the House committee e on public education. The amend- r mentto the resolution, instruct- t ing assessors of Orleans parish r to make their surveys according t to the proposed increase in order c to save time in the event of its n passage, also was given a favor- v able report. a Increase of the parish school d tax is part of the proposed edu- a cational program outlined last c week by Superintendent T. H. 0 Harris. The additional funds, if granted, will be expended chiefly for the raising of teachers' pay. Mr. Heinen's measure for the compulsory education of child- n ren, Orleans parish excepted, c was reported favorable with an amendment. Mr. ;Heinen fixed the ages between seven and fi teen years. The committee voted to raise the limit to sixteen years. Favorable reports also were made on the two Schell measures, for the establishment of a normal school for negro teach e era and providing that a school a district may exist in more than one perish. C Two library bills were halted. t One was by Mr. Wilkinson to 1 create a library commission. The c other was by Mr. Vickers, provi ding for a circulating school lib rary. This proposed measure carried an appropriation, declar ed to be unavailable at this time. Auto Owners To Show Title. The stealing of automobiles has become so common that different states have adopted or are con sidering laws requiring auto owners to register the title to their machine, just as lAnd sales are recorded. Such a law has just been passed in Maryland. After September 1, all autos licen sed in that state must have a certificate of title, secured from l the state authorities for a fee of $1. The certificate must give description for identification of the car and state whether there are any claims or liens on the machine, When the car is sold the certificate of title goes with it, and the new owner must then secure a new certificate. Fight Over Soldiers' Bonus, There has bpen an immense amount of discussion over vari. ons plans for helping the soldiers who served in the war. There is a general disposition of friendli ness toward the men who took part, but the question is how the money is to be raised to provide the benefits for themr. One plan was to issue bonds, another was to put a tax on all sales of goods, and the latest is to tax stook divi. dends of corporations and in orease the income arid tobacco taxes. Both parties are split on the issue, and especially the Re pubioans one torn between the nAesity of pleasing the "soldier vote" and that of decreasing ap propriations. The favorite plan is what is called the four-fold op. tion plan. This would allow the soldier to choose between land settlement, vocational training, home aid or a cash bonus depend ing on length of service. The whole subject, however, is still in the air. Lightning Rods As Fire Preventatives. The lightning rod as a preven tative against fire by lightning is thoroughly demonstrated in a re cent report of the State Fire Mar. abal of Texas. During the year 1919 three hundred and eighty unrodded houses were set afire by lightning bolts, while there sa not a single fire recorded of hounsew protected by rode. Some argument, eh? B• War 8aings Stamn s. Rich Immigrants Coming. Contrary to expectations there are more immigrants coming to this country than leaving it, During one week the arrivals numbered 13,000 while the de partures were but 4000. Strang est of all, some immigrants, es pecially from South America, are bringing with them large rolls of money.. When asked to deposit their money for safe keeping one couple handed over $114,000 and much fine jewelry. A Spanish woman had nothing smaller than a $11,000 check. One family laid down so much money that the officials did not 'have time to count it; it was estimated at $300, 000. Newspaper Views.
