met. Should not the future I'M
prove on the basis of the last ten
years, only New Orleans will con-
tinue to have any tax. That tax,
however, can not even after ten
years be higher than one-6fteenth
part of a cent, II mills, or $3.50 on
81, 900 assessment per year. In
other words, as soon as the amount
of four million dollars has been
paid in through the J and j6-S tax,
State and city, the country parish
es will be relieved of all further
liability, and New Orleans will con-
tinue unassisted and alone to car
ry the bonds.
The burden of the cost to tax
payers (s6, 5000 bonds) of this
great fifty million dollar exposi-
ton rests equitably,. as will be
seen, on all of our people, both in
city and country, New Orleans
bearing over eighty percent of the
total cost.
Any calculation of the benefits
to accrue to the people of this
State will include disbursement
in our midst of an amount of dol
lars equaling the total present as
sessed wealth of the State = all
during the next five years.
Consider whether it is worth
while for our people to make such
an investment. The Worlds Pan
anna Exposition Company will
probably expend ten million dol
lars for the setting of this big fair.
| The United States, States indi-
vidually, foreign countries, conces-
sionaries. etc., will no doubt ex-
pend in labor and material forty
to Fifty million dollars more. and
and the visitors, should there be
only ten million, very moderate
estimote Chicago had more than
twenty million), and should each
only expend $50 while here, stu
pendous total is presented, exceed
ing the value on the assessment
books, of all the real property to-
day in Louisiana, more that FIVE
hundred million dollars.
Is this not worth working for?
San Francisco thinks so, and is Of
fering more than twice as much as
we are for the prize, but all the
people east of the Rocky Noun
tains want the Worlds Panama
Exposition at the Logical Point,
and we can have it from Congress-,
if we have s7,5OO,OOO plus. We
can only have this great fair by
taxation. No tax, no exposition.

son, chairman of the executive
committee, has given out an off,
cial statement explaining the pro-
posed exposition tax proposition,
and showing how lightly it will
bear on the property holders.
When the people understand
just how it will operate and effect
them, Mr.. Thompson expi esses the
hope that they will approve the
measure, and that the country pa
pers will take up the statement
and print it in the great exposi-
ton cause. 1t follows:
In some localities in Louisiana
it appears that there is a misap-
prehension as to the proposed ex-
position tax amendment.
The finances for operating the
Worlds Panama Exposition Com
pany, include, first a subscription
to stock this subscription has
reached now total of nearly one
and one-half million dollars; the
books will remain open until every
one who desires may be given an
opportunity to contribute. The
total capitalization is ten million
dollars.
A great exposition such as is
proposed here in New Orleans,
cannot be exploited and promoted
or the grounds prepared, the ex-
hibit buildings, power house, ETC.,
constructed, for much less than
that amount = the estimate being
based on the cost at Chicago and
at st. Louis, of the preparatory
and the constructive work at those
places.
1t became apparent to every one
at the beginning of this enterprise
that to get the money together to
produce this great exposition, ev-
erybody in the city and State who
could or would afford it should be
called upon to contribute to the
enterprise. The simplest and fair
est method of reinforcing the vol
untary subscriptions that suggest
ed itself was the levying of the
slight fraction of mill tax. to be
paid by the owners of real estate,
it being obvious that the benefits
of this great fair would be realized
by property owners primarily, and
that the people would be willing
to contribute in this easy manner
the fund needed.
Nearly 5000 people have up to
date voluntarily subscribed ST.
100000. 1t seems now eminently
fair to all who may be benefited
that the balance of the burden be
more equally distributed.
The detail of the proposed tax
amendment shows that it will draw
from the city owner Is cents on
his $1,000 assessment, an d the
country property owner will pay
just 371 cents on each 1000.
It Is figured that on the present
country assessment the ! of a mill,
