SENATOR LAzARD WAS
WITH THE LABOR
INTEREST
The Record, And the Voice of
Laboring Mems chief,
Shows It.

The Clarion is in receipt of a
letter from Kinder, La, telling
/ of repeated rumors being circu-
lated in that section, among the
laboring class, to the eeffect that
| DIR. Lazaro, present Senator from
this district. and now candidate
for Congress, was inimical, in
action and vote, to the labor in
lterest, in his capacity of State
Senator.
The Clarion detests misrepre-
sentation, and particularly so
when it involves the election of a
representative to serve the peo-
| ple-to make laws for the people,
to set the price on the bread the
people eat. and the meat they
eat, and the clothes they wear.
And the Clarion is pleased
when it can SHOW that nisrep-
resentation is being resorted to
/ show it by the RECORD, by
FACTS.
The Clarion is at all times ready
to take up the cudgel in behalf
of RIGHT, TRUTH and FAIR
NESS.
Below follows the endorsement
of the head Of the strongest la
Dor organization in this State,

Dear Sir:
news mas JUST feaeaeN me OF
your intention to enter the race
for Congress from your District.
I believe your decision is d wise
one because feel that you have
an excellent chance OF polling
the majority of the votes.
As a representative of labor I
had occasion to be in attendance
on the recent session Of the Leg
lature, practically the entire ses-
sion, and I noted with a great
deal Of satisfaction your kindly
disposition toward the working
people of the State, and I feel
that no laboring man can make a
mistake by supporting you for
any Office that you may aspire.
I hope that il you will GO to the
National Capitol, you will adhere
as closely to the principles of
progressiveness there as you did
at the recent session Of the Cen
eral Assembly at Baton Rouge.
I also hope that if you return
to the State Capitol two years
hence, as the senatorial repre-

The Lewis orators chief argu-
ment is that DR.. Lazaro is not
competent to represent this
district in Congress.
In this statement they set
themselves in opposition to the
Louisiana State Medical Associa-
ton, the st. Landry Parish Med
ical Society, the Senators who
have worked with him for two
terms, and the people of this
Senatorial district.

and Will 0cenr.
Mr.. Harry G. Geary, one Of
the most prominent business
men of Calcasieu parish; resid-
| ing in Lake Charles, was a Wis
itor to 0pelousas Wednesday.
Mr.. Geary is manager Of three
canal companies in Caleasieu,
and President of one. He is
chairman Of the Sewerage Board
fof Lake Charles, and manager of
the large property interests of
Senator Fl. G. Drew.
I am not in politics, . said Mr..
Geary, except insofar I believe
that it is my duty, as a simple
citizen, to take part. =
But in this fight, I am hon
estly, and conscientiously, Of
the opinion that it is not i'm
proper for me to express my con-
vietions particularly in refer
ence TO Mr.. Pujo's published in
terview, in which he says that
Calcasieu owes a debt of graft
tude to St. Landry, and there
fore should vote for Mr.. Lewis.
We will leave aside the fact
that Senator Lazaro is not only a
son Of St. Landry, as well as
Mr.. Lewis, but we will 60 into
the real absurdity of the claim Of
Mr.. Pujo.
At the primary for United
States Senator, held last Janu-
ary, at which Congressman Pujo,
Gov. Sanders, and Congressman
Broussard, were candidates, the
vote Of st. Landry was:
Pujo 614;
sBroussard 755:
Sanders 1863.
Total 2237.
In the primary for Congress,
held Sept. 3, in Calcasieu par
ish there were $500 votes cast,
with proportionally the same re-
suit as the above; Lewis receiv-
ing 958 votes, Chappuis 1031 and
Lazaro 1435 total 3424.

Editor Clarion,
Dear Sir:
In last weeks issue of your
paper there appeared, in the.
published proceedings Of the
Police Jury, a report of the COM
mittee appointed BY said body to
confer with the school authorities
with reference to the donation by
the parish of the Wfiskey license
collected by the parish for the
exclusive benefit Of the rural
schools. The report of said COM
mittee is misleading in the re-
spect that it does not properly
estimate the contribution made
out Of funds derived from the
parish for the maintenance OF
the high schools. The commit
tee makes the statement in its
report that it requires SIS, 600. 90
per session of nine months to
10 p perate the five high
schools of the parish, t b a Z
So, 500.0 90 of the amount is paid
by the state and the remaining
$12, 000. 90 is paid by the parish.
Now, let us see if this is a fact.
The amount of revenues from
the state and perish of the
schools of this parish for the
fiscal year ending June 30tll,
1912, was as follows, viz:
State Current School Fanel
S25, 664. L.
Parish 3-miil Tax $22702;;
Poll Taxes S5255. 60;
Interest 18th Sections ss15s8. So;
Land Rent S25. 90;
High School State Appropria-
tion $500. 90;
Agr'l School State Appro-
priation $1,000. 90;
Total $58, 734. 76.
Out of this total we will DE-
duet the $500. 90 specially ap-
propriated by the state for the
benefit of the high schools. and
we will also deduct $1,000 10
specially appropriated for the
Agricultural School, because
that amount nearly pays the sal
ary of the teacher of Agricul-
fnre. After making these de-
ductions, we have as balance
to defray the expenses Of the
school system of this parish the
sum of S55. 234. 76. Tt costs
$14, 715. 90 to pay the salaries Of
the teachers in the high schools
for nine months, deducting the
So, 10000 appropriated by the
state from this amount we have
q balance Of SI2, 2I5. 90, which
must be met from the use of the
general school fund of the par
ish, and not from the special
three mill tax, exclusively, as
the committee states III its re-
port. Now, the general school
fund of the parish, after leduc .
nriafions amounts as al,oya
stated to s55 234 76 From this
amount which includes the s22
702 ()O Contributed 5 Y the
parish the IA oney must be
takento nav the S12. 215. 30
the salaries earned by the teach
ers n The high school depart-
ments rroner III order to arrive
at the exact amount of this
S122l5 90. which would come cut
of the parish tax of S22705. 00 to
pay these teachers salaries Ii, il
necessary to work out the reIa-
tive proportion between the total
amount available for the purpose
and the special amount of the
parish appropriation. This pro-
portion would be stated thus:
S54234. rs. S227O2. 90. 1925. co:
x. Now, III working cut this
problem we find that the actual
contribution of the parish to-
wards paying the high school
teachers ia the five high schools
of this parish is about S5020. 90
instead of S12500. 90 as the COM
mittee stated in It's report. OF
