The above article should and
would have been published
several days ago if it had not
been inadvertently ommitted,
The commission was not lnten-
tional on our part as we are
always glad to get the views of
our citizens on any subject that
is of interest or of Importance.
The above is Of interest as well
as important and there are many
people whose ideas coincide with
itand it would not be amiss to have
an explanation from the Com.
mittee as to the why's and where.
fore's Of these different assess.
nents. Weagree with Citizen TO
the eXtent tnat the assessment
was not equalized. Neither do
we see why it should cost $50 to
run for House of Representatives
here and only ten dollars in our
sister parish. Neither do we
understand why a Representa-.
tive should be assessed this
amount when our sheriffs and
other officers which from q
money consideration is much
more important, are assessed
less. The Committee may be
right in making a large assess
ment but we can't see how it
arrived at it's figures for each
Office.

Editor Era.Leader:
We have received The Era.
Leader containing the action OF
the Democratic Parish Executive
Committee, and everyone is
wondering at its action. The
class of citizens who seek office
in this parish are not usually
men of much money, now they
must feel anxious to know why it
cost fifty dollars to run for Legis-
lature in the parish of Washing
ton, with its twenty thousand
inhabitants, and only ten dollars
in Tangipahoa, with it's thirty
population, and why should a
candidate for the Office of Police
Juror put up fifteen dollars in
Washington and have to put up
two dollars and fifty cents in
Tangipahoa.
Was this done in the interest
of anyone? If so, whu is it?
The people of the parish will
demand an explanation on this
matter, and will want to know
how every dollar of this money is
to be spent. The committee is
supposed to be the Executive OF
the party and without any bias or
or prejudice towards any OF the
office seekers and should offer
every facility to make the election
as free, fair and full as possible
with the least expense possible
to all parties.
Now, if the Committee in this
action was governed by any
Interior motive. or to aid or
hinder anyone in the parish
running for Office. it marks a
new departure in the political
procedure of the parish, as all
previous Committees have
avoided lending their influence
to aid any faction or local candi.
date.
It is due the people of the
parish that this Committee give
a full explanation of it's action
for the people of Washington
parish have always been justly
proud of the purity of its
elections, and it is to be hoped
that our politics are not going to
become contaminated with the
politics of New Orleans, now that
we are connected so closely with
the city by railroad.
