THE ASSESSOR OFFICE A
RESPONSIBLE POSITION.

Our first consideration and
chief interest in the selection OF
all public officials, should be to
choose those candidates who are
best fitted to assume the RESPONSE
bilities and discharge the obllga-
tions of the office to which they
may aspire If we are influenced
in casting our vote by other con-
siderations than those Of fitness
and capability, we are then con
victing ourselves of a breach OF
public duty, and if the conduct o.
the Office is such as to fall below
an honest and correct standard
of public service, we are then
participants in an act that de-
serves censure and not common
dalton; the consequence of which
is. an inferior service by which
the State or Parish becomes the
ultimate and great sufferer.
1t must be admitted by all citi-
zens that certain offices require
and demand that any aspirant for
that special office must. in order
to properly and satisfactorily
conduct its affairs in the interest
of the public, possess the aptitude
and the ability that will insure
good and substantial results.
The office of Assessor is one
that requires special aptitude and
special fitness. 1t is an office the
management of which can be
prostituted to individual use and
assistance or it can be made a
medium of incalcuable and last
ing benefit to the public. There
fore it is the duty of every citi-
zen and every taxpayer to use his
efforts in electing that candidate
whom he believes will administer
the office in the interest and wei
fare of the whole Parish.
You want a man who can and
will see that the poor man does
rot bear all the burdens of taxa
ton or that the rich man should,
on account of his wealth, pay more
than his just proportion Of tax
es; who will see that your neigh
Dor is assessed as you are, and
who will and can correct all ir-
Irregularities so that each citizen
and taxpayer will be put on the
same footing. That is the kind
of official and the kind Of man
that the people and the Parish
needs.
We are persuaded that F. w.
Bauman is eminently qualified
and is the logical man for Asses
sor at this time. He nas had
years Of experience in that kind
of work; he is faithful and ener-,
etic,osnd capable; he will be
amenable to no influence but the
public good. lie will realize al
most at a glance whether the tax
payer is correctly assessed and
will restify and correct all in
equalities upon the roll. He can
by his ability and energy and de-
termination obtain large pa
rochial income and still relieve
the taxpayer from the present
burden of unequal and unjust tax
alton. It is up to the taxpayer to
cast aside all considerations ex-
cept those of public good and
material benefit. and elect Fred
w. Bauman our next Assessor.
