A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION
(A.. P. Jordan, Puhta Gorda)'
This legislature seems on the eve
on enacting financial legislation which

Mr. W. A-. McWilliams, who has
ably represented St. Johns county in
the Senate for twelve or fourteen
years, gives out the following state statement

"The appropriations j made by this

$320,000,000, thus allowing about 10

eight and a half mills now. And I

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
quentent delin-quentent tax list that it has ever had.
This is proof that the tax burden
has reached the limit of the people's
ability to bear and the proposed in increase

into effect, cannot but cause wide widespread

Not only have the people of the
various counties and districts taken
upon themselves an immense bonded
debt for public improvements, but
thousands of individuals, merchants,
fruit and vegetable growers and
others, are operating on borrowed
money on which they are paying 8
to 10 per cent interest. Now, ado!
$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
ber of the legislature, both Senate
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
same end.

belief that they were not only honest,

the ability, if the problems are too
deep for them, they ought to have the
candor, honesty arid patriotism to say
so to adopt a resolution setting
forth the fact that they are unequal
to the task and calling for a special
election to choose men of competence
to take their places, and then resign,
adjourn and go home. It is evident
they are not keeping their pledges of

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.

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

departments of the capital and every
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,
struction, instruction, who by the way was
against the ten-mill amendment in
the last election:

That the matter be left to the pat

rons of the public schools. That a
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
jority majority is against it, to levy only eight,
which Superintendent Brinson, in his
advocacy of the amendment, said

during the campaign, would be suffic

ient.
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.
