directed to enforce the sanitary
laws more efficiently in all small
towns throughout this State.
Our parish has good schools
and school buildings, and l am
glad of the fact. We also must
have good roads, if we expect to
build up the agricultural interest
of the parish, while the timber
from the forest is being cut away.
The building of roads is in the
hands of the police jury of every
parish, and they alone have the
exclusive authority to spend the
peoples money for road building:
There has been much said III
the past about the moving of our

Mr.. Geo. A. Fosters Platform.


To the Voters of Grant Parish:
In my letter addressed to the
newspaper of this parish under
date of August 18th, l stated that
l would make my position on State
and parochial issues fully known
to the people of our parish at an
early date.
| think that one of the greatest
questions before the people at this
time is more economy and les
SEEMING of the burdens of taxation.
This can only be brought about
by the election of good business
men to Office, who are capable and
honest, and who will run the gov
eminent of the State on the same
conservative business principles
that they manage their private af-
fairs. The State government is a
great business institution, and un-
til its affairs shall be directed by
honest and efficient business men,
We cannot hope for much reduc-
ton In taxation and the economi-
cal expanding of our public
moneys.
| believe that our Governors
appointive power covers too great
a scope, and that mary of the Of
fees that are now appointlve
should be made elective by vote
of the people.
A system of many appointive
boards has been built up in our
State, and while many of them are
indispensable and very necessary
to the best interest of our people,
still l think that there can be
much economy affected by consol-
idating some of the boards, reduc-
ing memberships of others, and
cutting the salaries of many OF
the members, while some of the
bc ards may be abolished entirely.
| Much has been said of late
about dual Office holding in this
|State, and while the offiense has
not done the people any great
harm that 1 know of as yet, the
principle is wrong and undemo.
cratic, and l think that our mex
General Assembly should enac
laws carrying heavy penalties tina
will forever do away with this
danger.
i l believe that we should have
laws that will more safely guarC
and protect our ballot boxes
When we destroy the sacred bal
lot of our people we undermine
the institution upon which ou
government is founded.
The gubernatorial candidates
have all declared against the pres
ent system of game laws. l stan'
, for State protection of our game
fish and oysters. We have follow
led the lead of all other States il
trying to protect our game. Ga
> present system of protection ha
y proven very expensive, and not q
= effective as should be for the bes
preservation, and / believe tina
by commissioning all of the war,
constables, and giving them min
imum salary or commission O
: fines, that we would get better re
!. suits and more efficiently protec
: our game, fish and oysters.
t l believe that our State shout
g contribute towards the upbuildin
: and equipping of our State educs
f tional institutions, and to on
n State charitable institutions, a
e that our public treasury will just

exchange from trying charges against the
ar,o The court held that the exchange

The complaint against the firm was made
ny Morris y Rothschild, who is under IN

summer. Rothschid said that Moyse q 90.
he'd sold on his account $500 bales for
