men of Winfield. They only

benefit to the town and the bust

They are ready to stand by the
Progressive League in all of their
endeayors to promote the welfare
of the town by the assistance in
securing sites for the various en-
terprlses that desire to come to
the town. They are progressive
as well as conservative. They
realize that we have wonderful
future before Us, frought with
possibilities, which they are ready
to assist in bringing into reality.
At the same time they do not de-
sire to boom the town on any fic-
titIous propositions, which can
only result in disaster.
They have BY their action and
substantial assistance, brought

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The good feeling and earnest
ness exhibited by the citizens
during the election on Tuesday
speaks well for the different can
Etiidates for the nomination. 1t
had been conceded during the day
that the race for mayor would be
between Hons. Geo. A. Kelly
and G. M. Bcvill. and their friends
went to work each expecting and
hoping their candidates would be
victorious. But when the polls
closed the result was accepted
in good faith by all sides. Mr..

candidates, but those votes neces-

house by the friends OF the diff

Mr.; c. c. O'Mally. the can

had no opposition. His candidacy
and nomination has been an
extraordinary incident in this
section, a candidate without op-
position. We feel satisfied that
the judgment of the people in
this case was correct. They will
have an efficient marshal.

OUR NEW TOWN COUNCIL.

The interest manifested in the
primary election held last Tues
day shows that our citizens are
alive to the importance of elect
ing men to office who have the
welfare and prosperity of the
town at heart. The FIVE council
men selected are all good men
and are identified with every
interest of the town; in fact, there
were none but good men running
office. but as only five could be
nominated this is no discredit
to the three who got left.
Mr.. S. M. Abel, who led the
ticket, is young man, born and
raised here. He is Deputy Clerk
of the Court and a large property
holder. He has servedsone term
in the office.
Mr.. w. F. Cooper came here
with advent of the railroads. is a
member of the Winfield Hard
ware and Furniture Company, and
is civil engineer by profession.
He will be an invaluable member
of the Council at this particular
juncture when we are having
many problems that require his
expert knowledge.
Mr.. Fletcher is a young, pro-
gressivc business man, doing an
extensive business for his own
account. and will carry with him
his experience. and progress into
the affairs f the town.
Mr.. ]. r. Watts Is a member of
the Nj. Nj. Fisher Dry Goods
Company. Limited, and has
shown in his own business his
ability to master intricate business
problems. which will enable him
to carry that experience with him
in his duties as councilman OF the
town.
Mr.. ]. nj. Leeper is the present
mayor of the town and his
knowledge of its affairs will make
him an invaluable member The
town is to be congratulated on
the selection of the new council,
and we predict before their term
of Office expires we will have
merged from a town into a city,
with all the advantages of good
streets. good system of water
works. and well lighted and

THE VALUE OF TIMBER LANDS.

NE fHlUL VI tiHuLh LHHoo'
Concerning the question OF
value for taxing purposes OF
timber lands. We are pleased to
reprint the following article which
appeared in the Alexandria Town
Talk. 1t is by man who is
largely interested in timber lands
therefore should carry more
weight. The article is as follows;
Editor Town Talk:
In your issue of February 10Th
"B" stated that "a very promi-
nent" gentleman from Chicago
told him that he was outrage
ously imposed upon by the
various assessors and his taxation
was infamous" Very strong lam
guage, indeed. for the man in
question to use. The charge
quoted by "B" as coming from I
is ABSOLUTELY untrue and very UNI
just to the various assessors"
Mariner & Underwood were as
sessed last year $50, ESQ for 1904
acres or S. per acre. They sold
this land quite recently for nearly
six times as much as it was as
sessed. Sec records of Rapides
parish.
]. Platt Underwood had 1900
assessed at $4,000 o rs7 per acre
last year.
1t appeared from the interview
OF Mr.. Underwood by the Times
Democrat correspondent, that the
former stated that pine timber
lands would continue rapidly to
increase in value as the devasta-
ton of the forests progressed;
that the vast area. following the
denudation OF its pine, would pre-
sent the appearance of weird
wilderness of black jack ana
stumps.
AS 70 the apprehension of "B"
that spectators like Crandall.
Underwood & Co.. will discour-
age immigration nnless the
various assessors" discontinue
assessing their pine lands. why |
beg him 10 concern himself about
our farmers who are here to stay.
The small holdings of the hill
farmers are assessed in proper
ton to intrinsic value, greatly in
excess of said timber tracts.
We need good roads; steel
bridges across all our streams;
substantial school houses in every
township. rather, | should say, on
every section Of land in the
parish, which shall be attended by
better government; aud therefore.
people owning speculaiively large
tracts of valuable pine timber
lands should not object to paying
taxes thereon.
1t seems to be granted that
property in Louisiana is assessed
at fifty per centum of its true
value. From the above it will
be seen that the Mariner & Under
wood lands were assessed last
year at one-sixth of the price for
which the body of land was sold,
and the other tract at one
sixth of the value entertained
therefor by the owner. There
fore conceding the premises,
large tracts of longleaf pine tim
Der lands should be assessed at
fifteen dollars per acre. This
would be less than Gfty per
centum of the present value
thereof, according to the views of
value of such lands as expressed
by MIR. Underwood.

FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1906.
REVENUE FOR WINFIELD.

AuC SP1GSHSS ~ ILL.,
municipal candidates on Monday
night brought out one Of the
largest audiences of interested
voters that perhaps ever gather
ed in the town of Winfield. and
the questions asked candidates
developed the fact that the citi-
zens of the town of Winfield are
alive to the fact that it is imper-
tive that the town should have
good streets and waterworks, but
the question of finance to carry
on the work seemed to be the OBJ
stacle in the way.
Ali of the arguments based the
revenues on the assessment OF
1905. Now if any man will ex-
anime the assessment roll of 1905
he will readily see that the as
sessment for that year will not
average over twenty per cent. of
the present value of the property
now IN the town. For instance,
we noticed one item of forty acres
OF land inside the corporate limits
assessed at four hundred dollars
when the actual value is not less
than fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars.
Not long since the Governor of
louisiana called together the as
SCISSORS of the different parishes
with a view to having the assess
ments throughout the State made
equal and uniform. The assessor
Of this parish was present at that
meeting and on Els return was in
terviewed by a representative OF
the Sentinel during which he said
that the conclusion OF the meet
ing wasvto-;assess the property
throughout the State on a basis of
fifty per cent. of the actual cash
valuation. Now. if the assessor
Of the parish Of Win will carry
out that theory and put ii il 10
actual practice, the assessment Of
the town Of Wipn6eld, instead of
being in the neighborhood Of
two hundred thousand dollars,
will be nearer FIVE hundred thous-.
and dollars.
The new mayor and council
will be indicted into Office before
the assessor files his assessment
rolls for inspection as required by
law They can then appoint al
committee 70 90 oyerthe assess
ments inethe town and make an
examination as to whether. the
fifty per cent basis has been car
ried out by the assessor. if not
they can call his attention to the
discrepancies and have them
remedied. And them if the prop
erty owners sliouldobjeets to as
scssing preRerty Eat that rate,
this same committee could 90 be-
fore the equalizers and call their
attention to the matter and wei

1t doesn't need such'a hot fire
