fee bill was supposed to adjust
this difference 50 as to put both
the officer and the deputy on an
equitable and living basis.
The Gay bill, however, will be
worse in it's result than the pres
ent fee system; the officer who is
elected by the people and who does
not care so much about his duty
will be paid a handsome salary,
and he in turn will force his en-
ployees to work for a little or
nothing. He is bound to do this or
rob the people of his parish by in

Like the majority of the most
progressive papers in this state
the Clarion has been advocating
the placing of parochial officials on
a salary basis, but we have always
maintained that these officials and
their employees should be paid a
living salary.

DIPRE's STAND ON PRIMARY
BILL

Gilbert L. Dupre, our able rep
r~esentative, by his tand on the prl-
mary bill, has made the biggest hit
of his political career. Dupre al
WAYS stands for what is right and
Just, that is the reason why he has
been so repeatedly honored by ms
people.
Judge Dupre, unlike our friend
E. K. Eastman, takes the stand that
his people, the voters of st. Landry,
four-fifths of whom voted for him,
are against the administration bill;
he believes that the vast majority
of st. Landry voters are for free
dom of ballot and that they should
not be sent to Jail, simply because
they are of the opinion that the
candidate opposing the choice Of the
democracy is the better of the two
and they decide 10 cast their vote
in favor of him.
The st. Landry representative has
never made a speech in his life
which has endeared him more
closely to his people. Even the
staunch democrats of this parish,
like Mr.. Dupre and ourselves, be-
lieve that the administration pri-
mary bill will play havoc in St.
Landry politics and will ultimately
lead good old democrats to seek
another party, in order to remain
with their friends and relatives.
Nine-tenths of those who voted
for Parker in this parish are demo-
Gratis by nature and inclination, by
belief and principles; they do not
want to be driven out of the party,
but the primary bill, now being
pressed upon the legislature will
serve to make this one Of the largest
anti-democratic parishes in Louis
lana. Not only that, but as Judge
Dupre remarked, it will eventually
build up a party, which in the
course of time will cause the down.
fall Of the grand old democratic
party.
The Clarion heartily agrees with
every word Judge Dupre uttered in
the legislature last Thursday; the
majority Of the people of st. Lam
dry, not only the Parker supporters,
but more than half Of those who
voted for Pleasant, agree with the
st. Landry representative.
we are democrats, have always
been such, and consequently are in
q better position to judge the fol-
hes of our party-fellows than
outsiders. We hate to admit it, but
is a fact that the primary bill
will play the devil with democracy.

partial parish tax exemption feat
ure is unconstitutional, while 9TH
ers hold it is sound in law. AS to
that, not being a lawyer, l express
no opinion. Altho it is a fact that
a number of other titles have SIM
liar partial tax exemption pfoeis-
ions in their charters AMI at least
one has practically a total exe.i'p-
ton along that line. Solae Of
these same charters have been In
effect for many years and SO far as
n know have never been attacked
in courts. Under these cireuni-
stances, | have thought the proper
course to be to include ! rpreren-
dunn clause, then, if enacted into
law, let the entire matter go before
the people OF Opelousas for their
adoption or rejection, | bet;5ve this
is also the idea of my colleagues,
Judge Dupre and Mr.. Sanders. |
may add that there has been intro
duced in the Legislature a co1sti-
tutional amendment, which ii
passed, and voted by the people,
would, I believe, cure the alleged
unconstitutionality of the above
feature. Finally, my entire object
has been to secure what consider
ed was a right and needed reform
for the people Of Opelousas and in
introducing the act prepared by
the above committee took it for
granted it would have the prac-
tically unanimous support of our
citizens. With the referendum
clause included, our people will in
the end weigh the measure and put
the seal of their approval or dis
approval on same.

ELECTION LAW BILL
ADOPTED BY THE CAUCUS

Baton Rouge, June f3.-Both the
registration and the general cleo
ton law bills were adopted by the
democratic caucus tonight after a
meeting of the subcommittee with
Governor Pleasant. The registfa-
ton bill eliminates the appointive
registrar and restores clerks Of
court to that position. E, K. East
hams amendment calling for imme-
diate registration before the con-
gressional elections was rejected, as
was T. Sambola Jones' amendment
providing for the removal of clerks
of court.
D. M. Evans of Madison handled
the bill in caucus.
The general election bill was APP
proved with the elimination of the
merger clause which provided
that a political party would lose its
identity in Louisiana when merged
or absorbed with another party
nationally.
NJ. M. Boatner of Orleans han
died the bill. Both were reported
in the house.

THE ASSESSORS BILL

II is really incomprehensible
how men. supposed to be intelligent,
can go from one extreme to the
other. in the matter of adiustins
She assessors salaries. The legis-
fators who have prepared tae as
SCISSORS bill eyidentally are una
ware of the true conditions in this
parish, at least.
according to the Gay fee bill the
assessor of st. Landry would be
given a salary Of $4,000 per year
this is a handsome sum-, all right
FOR these hard timeE it is ample for
he officer to live on. Naturally
khe assessor will take care Of No.
I. because it is human for one to
DO his duty to his family first of
all.
What we wonder at is how In
tRe world will the assessor of st.
eskndry ever be able Ia efficiently
operate his office on the pittance
Of $500 allowed him for Office ex-
penses. This sam is not sufficient
TO pay the salaries of the various
ward assessors. The assessor will.
have to go down into his pockets
for at least $500 more in order 70
give his constituents a good admin
istration.
lne Dill may in some places bet
ter conditions, but as far as st.
Landry is concerned it is woefully
unjust.
In u mind the bill will serve to
considerably increase the assess
nent of the state; on account OF
the various classes it will be an in
centiye to the assessor to increase
the assessment, since this official
knows that as Dor as he arrieyes
In the upper class he will get a
material increase of salary.
In st. Landry for instance the
assessor is only $4,000 behind the
class Just above it, which pays a
salary of $4,000 with $500 ex-
penses.
The people of Louisiana have
been clamoring for a bill which
would place the parochial officers
a salary basis, with the deputies
paid according to the amount al
Joted each office by the state. The
view most intelligent people took
Of the subject was that the officer
would put the greater portion of
the revenues derived from his Of
flee while the deputies who really
did all the work were paid fifty or
seventy-five dollars a month. The

ST. LANDRY's NEW POLICE JURY

The police jury which took
charge of the affairs of the parish
last week, promises to be the most
progressive, as well as energetic in
the history of st. Landry. The jury
as a whole is composed of a set of
men determined to accomplish big
things and it would not be surpris-
ing to see many improvements
made in this parish during the next
four years.
The parish lawmakers are firm
in their belief that they can do
big things, but they are sternly de-
c1ded that the taxpayers will get
every relief possible.
With a large number of the old
members occupying their same
seats the new jurors are working
with a cooperative spirit in an at
tempt to better conditions in his

THE NEW CITY CHARTER
June ~. 1916.
The Editor.

The Editor:
Sir:
| ask permission to use your col
umns that I may explain my posi-
ton with reference to the Special
Charter for the City of Opelousas
which | have introduced in the
House of Representatives. The
need of such a new charter as
would exempt persons and property
In this municipality from a portion
OF the parish taxes now paid, has
been discussed rather generally for
several years, but while a number
OF other cities have from time to
time gone before the Legislature
and have been granted charters
giving this relief, yet no definite
action was ever taken in behalf OF
opelonsas. Shortly before the re-
cent primary, the matter was again
brought to The fore and I expressed
myself as believing, in all fairness.
that Opelousas, and probably other
cities as we'll, was entitled to sllcn
relief, and that / would be glad to
stand spencer, if elected, for such
new charter or amendment OF K
listing law, as would secure that re-
suit. After my nomination and
election, the matter was brought 10
a head by a previously advertised
mass meeting held at the Court
House, at which the matter was
pretty well threshed out. My recol-
lection is that there was no dis
sentfng voice to the action finally
taken, which was that the Mayor
appoint a committee to draft a new
charter based on the best points of
the several special charters now
enjoyed by other municipalities and
embodying in particular the ex-
emption feature above referred to.
The committee was appointed, but
the only members I recall are John
Lewis, Judge E. D. Estilette and
Morton Thompson. Shortly there
after I took my seat in the House.
On several occasions I inquired OF
Loeb and OF Mr.. Lewis as to
the progress Of the committee but
never had opportunity to see the
completed draft or to discuss its
provisions, other than very briefly,
until Judge Dupre brought same TO
me in Baton Rouge on last Tuesday,
the 9Th inst. Since then I have
understood that there is some crit
Ic1sm of certain features. On the
other hand many seem to think it

yers express the opinion that the
