Board has in its current fund the better
and more teachers can be employed, and
better school system we will have. If you
want good horse you have to pay for
him, if you want good laborman you
have to pay him, and if you want good
teachers you must pay the price or they
go to other parishes where they are paid
what they are worth. If You want a
good crop you must put the right num-
ber of hands in the field, if you have
only half enough labor you will have a
half crop and the other half III weeds.
If you need forty teachers to do certain
work and only can employ twenty, your
children will be half taught and you
will blame the teacher. 1t would be a
good joke and waste of money to build
fine school houses with the current fund
and then be without money to put good
teachers in these fine buildings: SO to
make all go hand in hand, we are try
ing to do as has been done and is yet
being done in other parishes: Have a
building fund, gotten by special taxa
ton, and have the current fund for cur
rent expenses, SO as to build perfect
school system. Other parishes are doing
this every day and we are glad to see
hat the good people of st. John are
anxious to show the other parishes that
we can do as well as they and say on
election day: We will have better public
schools.
You must not be afraid, 60 to the poll
ON August Sd and vote for the tax and
you will forever rejoice over the results.
If we thought this special election would
be superhuous we would not encourage
you to have it pass, but would come
right out and tell you so. but knowing
the immensity of good it will do to the
parish we will again say: Don't be
afraid, and vote for it.

SCHOOL BUILDING TAX

It seems that some people would have

For the sake of those who
may be inclined to listen to such things.
let Us say right here this is erroneous
and win ask them to inquire from all
other progressive parishes whence such
such comfortable, such
and modern school buildings !?
How came these TO exist And the ans
wer in proudly and emphatically will
come: Through Special Taxation We
are happy to state that vast majority
of people of our parish do not believe a
special election superfuous, for in the
whole parish. with only few exceptions.
the citizens petitioned the Police Jury
to call this special election and give
them the opportunity to show what good
it will do to our public schools. The
petitions we're SO enthusiastically signed
that the Police Jury seeing such over
whelming anexiety from the people, or
dered the election, knowing it win do
an immense good to the parish and help
the children in their studies.
Let US point out to the pessimist why
q special election instead Of the Police
Jury levying an extra two-mill tax
which they have perfect right to do,
for in other parishes the tax is ten mills
while in our parish the rate of taxation
is only seven mills. three mills below
the constitutional Limitation: First, it
permitted special right and privilege
to the people in voting in this election.
Second, the School Board needs what
ever money win be realized by this tax
for better school houses. On Police
Jury levy the School Board would not
be able to sell bonds, but in this special
tax the Board will be able to sell bonds
for the amount needed for building pur-
poses as coon as the election is carried
and can proceed to build good, modern
school houses and relieve the congested
situation throughout the parish at once,
and not wait till the yearly tax OF
ten years comes In. Take the whole
into consideration and see to what ad-
vantage this special tax will be to you.

with pleasure, show the small current
fund they have on hand to employ the

to take any Of this money to build school
houses is to make the children suffer
and supply them with poor teachers or
half the number OF teachers needed to
teach them, and the result would be

generous with the School Board in it's
appropriations, but this is only to be
