orange growers, merchants and farm
ers are also expected to give largely,
the, projectors of the new plan will
also reckon without their hosts. The
commissioners can determine in
short time whether the Florida part
of the great show can be successful
Iy made or not, by seeking inter
views with the heads of a dozen
companies in the state.
While, no doubt, all are perfectly
willing to contribute, those who eX-
pect to reap only remote benefit,
cannot be relied on to raise large
percentage of the sum needed. The
Diston Company, for instance, owns
thousands of acres of unoccupied
lands; these, when settled, will i'm
mediately multiply twenty fold in
value. The same is true Of many
railroads in our state. Now if these
are to have the largest share of bene-
fit from the expected results Of our
great show, it is only reasonable to
expect them to stand the brunt of
the cost, and Gen. Sebring, by com
pairing what they will promise to
give with the sum he thinks neces-
sary to ensure success, can determine
very quickly whether it will be ad-
visable to retain one-third of the
agricultural space for Florida.

THE TOWN SCRIP.

One great reform to be Inaugural
ted Immediately after the election
of our citizens ticket must be a new
departure in the method of pledging
the credit of the town. By the
scrip system injustice is done to the
taxpayer, as well as injury to the
credit of the city. When the city
has needed money heretofore, the
council has issued scrip for. the
amount required This was imme-
diately sold on the streets at dis
count. The taxpayer gave fifty per
cent for it, and sold it again to the
town in payment of dues at one
hundred per cent Thus the town
paid for its work in script at market
price and redeemed the same scrip
IN taxes within a few months at par
value, so that while the books show
the town should collect $4,000 in
taxes, the sum actually at the dispo-
sition of the council is about $4,000.
Again: some tax payers pay only
half the rates of others; some even
less than that. For the council has
paid fifty cents a load for sawdust
to be put on the streets when private
parties on the same day were having
the same work done for ten cents.
Now it is urged that the town was
only making good to the workmen
the depreciation in scrip. AT this
rate then, scrip was only worth
twenty cents. Yet the town must
redeem the same paper in a few
months at one hundred cents. And
the tax payer holding this scrip only
pays one fifth of the taxes of his
fellow citizens. Now these evils are
too heavy to be longer borne. The
town cannot tax above a certain per
cent in the county assessment But
she can borrow money, and she
must do this, either by bonds or
otherwise, buy up the scrip now in
circulation, raise what money she
needs for immediate work in bust
ness way by paying interest, and
then pay her debts by compelling
the payment of her dues in money
instead of deprecated paper.
All these things can only be done
by the election of men who under
stand business methods; of progress
slve men who can foresee the needs
of the future near at hand, and of
honest men who are themselves in
the city's growth and prosperity.

Since 1t is fully understood that
we are to have no extra session Of

that 1t will be equally unconstitu-

to raise money for that purpose,
other plans might be considered in

so far as the show will affect our

the first level, came upon an imprint
in the rock denoting bare foot with
toes, instep, and heel, plain and unmis-

in length and twelve in width. The av-

while at the ball of the foot it is six inch
es. These imprints appear along the mar

they are distinctly and evenly eighteen
