I Your assessor has nothing to do with
the rate of taxation. The Legislature
fixes your rate of taxation for the
State. The Police Jury fixes the rate
of taxation for parish purposes, and
tax payers vote their own school and
road taxes
Some OF my opponents say they are
going to reduce your taxes if elected.
Let us see: First-In order to reduce
your taxes they must do away with
your legislature, your Police Jury, de-
stroy your constitution and ignore the
voters as to your special taxes.
Are you willing to do without your
good school and do without your roads
just to satisfy cheap politician?
Unquestionably the first thing to be
done is to get people to begin to think.

thought, an! in casting your vote On

done for you in the past three years as

Of Natchitoches

In announcing myself for reelection
as the Assessor, l desire to thank the
good people of this parish for the con-
fidence they have placed in me. For
merly the Assessors Office was on a
commission basis. Now the Assessor S
office is on salary basis, this salary
being 100000. This covers all his
duties as the Assessor and an allowance
of $S50O.00 for expenses, making a
total Of So, 10000. This expense account
covers all work done by field and Office
deputies, stamps, stationery: exami-
nation of the records and all otlier ex-
penses entailed in running the Office
Should it cost more than So. 10000, the
difference must come out of the AS
sessor's salary, if less than So. 500. 0C
the Assessor is not benefited, as the
law only allows sufficient. money to
cover actual expenses.
At the present time if your assessor
was working under commission basis
his salary would be 50, 0O0.O 90 per year,
So you see am So, 500 90 shy of what
