Card
To the Voters of the Parish of CaId

| 10 the Voters OF the ParlSh or Cald-
we'll:
Owing to the fact that the office of
Tax Assessor of the Parish of Caldwell,
now pays more than ever before, regard
less of the two percent commission al
lowed, under Act No. 252 of the Acts
of 1910, on the assessment of special
school tax for the year 1914, and as
the people of the Parish have seen fit,
or have been forced, for the past sew
eral years to levy these special taxes,
in order to carry on and maintain the
public schools of the Parish, | see no
reason why the Tax Assessor should
demand this two percent, or $35l &C
per year, from the school children of
the Parish, whose parents are straining
every effort to meet the payment of
these taxes, in order to carry on this
good cause.
Now, therefore, if the people see fit
to elect me, as Tax Assessor of the
Parish of Caldwell, | dohereby and by
this declaration, bind and obligate my
self to assess the special school tax OF
the Parish free of charge.
The remainder of my platform will
follow " Respectfully,
