(A.. P. Jordan, Puhta Gorda)'
This legislature seems on the eve

Mr. W. A-. McWilliams, who has
ably represented St. Johns county in

The people of the peninsular por portion

two-thirds or more of the entire state,
during the past few years, have voted
upon themselves an immense bonded

the great increase in the amount of
property advertised for sale for non nonpayment

Scuth Florida now presents through
the newspapers the biggest delin delin-quentent

This is proof that the tax burden
has reached the limit of the people's
ability to bear and the proposed in increase

Not only have the people of the
various counties and districts taken
upon themselves an immense bonded

thousands of individuals, merchants,
fruit and vegetable growers and
others, are operating on borrowed
money on which they are paying 8

$5,000,000, or even half that amount to
their burden, and what can follow but
disaster?
Here in this little town of Punta

and municipal tax is now over 5 per

taxed. The propositions of the legis legislature
lature legislature would bring this rate up to 6
per cent, or over. The prospect is
simply disheartening to contemplate.
It is safe to say that every mem

and House, was elected on a platform
of economy, on either an expressed or
an implied pledge to work for a re
auction of taxes. The governor, in
his campaign for election, openly
promised to exert himself to the

candor, honesty arid patriotism to say

forth the fact that they are unequal

election to choose men of competence
to take their places, and then resign,

legislature proposes to increase them.
Their pretext for this is the increas increased

this is may be understood when it is
known that the comptroller, for ex
ample, was living very comfortably
three years ago on $2000 a year,
whereas he is now being paid $3600

to increase to $4000.
He, the state treasurer, the attor attorney

out of the state treasury. If their!
salaries were reduced to $2500 a year,
as "should be done, not one of them
would resign. All of them know, and
the legislature knows and the people
know that there are plenty of good
and capable men in the state who
would be glad to get those state jobs
at $2500 a year and would support
their families comfortably on that
salary.' But the legislature thinks
that these officials should each be
paid $4000 a year, and that is what
is proposed.
It is a wonder that it is not pro proposed

It is proposed to increase the sal salaries

of which there are between twenty twenty-five

inspector and every other employe

The board of public instruction for
Marion county says it is between two
horns of a dilemma. It must either
levy the full ten-mill school tax or put
up with greatly inferior teachers
(even if it can obtain them) Tor next

year, as ine people oi juanon county
voted heavily against that tax last
November, the board says it is bashful
about levying it.
The board's reason is that Duval
and other counties, the people of which
didn't have as good sense as the people
of Marion, and wished this tax on the
state, can now tax their people to the
limit and give their teachers high sal
aries, thereby taking them away from
Marion. Back in the recesses of our
mind is a suspicion that after Duval,
Hillsborough, etc., have been supplied,

Leave It to the People
The Star has made the following
proposition to Mr. W. L. Colbert,
chairman of the board of public in instruction,

against the ten-mill amendment in
the last election:
That the matter be left to the pat

meeting be held at each schoolhouse
in the county and the question sub submitted

attend that school. If a majority of
these school patrons favor levying
the ten-mill tax, to do so. If a ma majority

which Superintendent Brinson, in his
advocacy of the amendment, said
during the campaign, would be suffic

Mr. Colbert said he thought the
Star's proposition was a fair one, and
that he' would submit it to his colleagues.
- We have no argument to make
either way. The people should get
together and decide what they want
done, and the school board should ob observe

number of citizens who voted against
the ten-mill tax, and whose burdens
will be considerably augmented by it,
say they prefer to pay it rather than
see the schools crippled.

deal for the people all around. At
