Editor Glarion-WiH you please.
allow me a small space in your valu-
able paper, as | need to be enlight-
ened on the road tax question, and I
think this is the proper means to
take for the information?
I have always been a tax payer
since the age Of majority, and as yet
/ have never given the tax collector
the trouble Of sending me q notice,
as / have always paid promptly, but
| may get stubborn il paying my per
capita and vehicle tax this year I'M
less some relief is given US on our
public roads, Or some one is kind
enough to enlighten me on the sub
iect. Our roads are not sold, and
what is the reason, and who is to
blame? Some people blame our
member Of the Police Jury, Mr.. Willis
Fontenot, others blame the sheriff for
not collecting the per capita tax and
vehicle tax, saying some five hundred
people have not paid last year. 9th
ers blame the originators Of the law,
saying that it is unconstitutional.
Now, in my opinion, some one IS to
10 blamed blamed, . ne ara paving taxes.
and our roads are iii a most horrible
condition. Now If our member Of
the Police Jury is 10 blame
he will not answer this article,
but if he is not to blame LET him
come out, and tell the people that
placed him in Office who is to blame
for the deplorabIe condition Of che
roads. Should the law be unconsti-
t~utional, let's abolish this Law, and
pass one that will hold good, and one
that will meet The needs Of the stu
alton.
| wish some one would please en-
Tighten me on this subject.
Thanking you for your valuable
space, | am yours very truly.

Parish Division.
opelousas. La, March 10, 1909.

Opeiousas, La, March ~, 1919.
10 the Editor Of the Clarion: T
have been watching with much IN
terest this parish division question,
from the standpoint Of one free from
prejudice or political aspiration, and
Il must confess great surprise at the
inaction of the citizens who will be in
the old parish, and particularly Of
the merchants, business men, artisans
and trade people Of 0pelousas. !
cannot believe that these classes Of
citizens correctly understand and APP
~preciate the far reaching and endur-
ing effect a division Of the parish
along the lines proposed viii have
upon their respective callings. Nor
do / believe that The land owners and
taxpayers who will remain within the
confines Of the old parish have con
sidered the extra burden of taxation
that will be placed upon them, not to.
say anything Of the heavy expense
that will be entailed in the way Of
maintaining bridges and roads in the
Eastern section. This is more or less
a selfish argument, if you will; but in
surveying the situation / fail to see
any sound reason that calls for a
division Of the Empire Parish of ST.
Landry as presently proposed. That
the line is an un%warranted and UNI
just one to Opelousas will, Of should,
be admitted by any unprecedented per-
son, and it viii be hard for the diYi-
~sionists to explain to the voters why
a Wanton discrimination should be
made against Opelousas and surrounds
ing sections. Scrutinize closely the
motives of those gentlemen of this
city, Of more or less prominence. who
are ch%ampioning division. Are they
candid? Are they sincere? and have
they really at heart the future vel
fare and development Of our city?
What has been their conduct in the
past? These are proper matters to be
considered before being lead away BY
their plausible but unsound arguments.
Finally, Mr.. Editor, / do not believe
that the majority Of the voters Of
this parish want a division. They
realize that it win mean the breaking
off of personal and business relations
of many years standing, and the crea-
ton Of a political situation that will
place st. Landry on a par with the
parishes Of Jefferson, st. Charles,
ST. John and others Of like size,
in the council Of the Democratic
Party of this State. Besides they
realize that no injustice is being done
those living in the Western section
Of the parish, since the building Of
railroads throughout that section has
made 0pelousas accessible almost
to every citizen living there.
