TAX EXTENSION MATTERS.

At the time of going to press with this
issue none of the numerous measures in
PRODUCED in the legislature for the relief
of the tax payers have become laws.
The most popular measure and the one
most likely to become Jaw, is the Chip
ley bill to extend the time for the pay
ment of taxes until fall.
However, this appears to be entirely
unnecessary and is another sample of
how well statesmen turn to legislatures
IN time of trouble for relief, when relief
could have been had nearer home.
The comptroller has advised the col
lectors that they had authority under
the law to delay the publication of the
delinquent tax list to an indefinite day,
and quotes as his authority for the state
ment the following decision of the su-
preme court:
1.-The power of collector of revenue
to enforce by sale the collection of taxes,
continues until the taxes are collected,
Notwithstanding the warrant of the as
SCISSOR directs a return or report of col
lection upon particular day"
So far as we know, no collector has yet
closed his books, and Mr.. Chipley's we'll
meaning. but entirely unnecessary, bill
has been forestaled by Mr.. Bloxham S
advice to the collectors to hold their
books open until July.

farming belt of Florida and those in the

THE INCOME TAX.

The following item appeared in the
Citizen as a telegram from Washington
one day last week:
''In the Instructions issued by the com
missioner of internal revenue to collec-
tors, regarding the collection of the In
come tax, is the folio wing of interest to
the fruit growers of Florida:
"'Where oranges or other fruits were
totally destro ed by storm or frost in
the year 1894. and the value thereof at
the time of the loss can accurately be
determined, the amount thereof may
be deducted rs business loss from in
come for that year. In case that the
fruit trees are absolutely destroyed, so
AS to create a total loss and not mere
depreciation in value, if such loss can
be accurately ascertained, either by de-
Quoting the value of the land contain
ing said trees after the storm or freeze,
from the value of said land prior there
to, or otherwise, the same can be de-
Quoted as business loss for the year in
which it occurred. No loss, however,
occurring since the first day of January,
1895. can be allowed in any way to
diminish income for the year 1884,
From this it seems that the loss to the
orange growers resulting from the freeze
of December ~, 1894, can legitmately
be deducted from the income returns
This freeze destroyed the portion of the
fruit crop unmarketed at that time, and
while the loss was considerable, it was
nothing as compared with the February
freeze which did so much damage to the
groves This loss, however, according
to the ruling of the treasury department
cannot be counted out as a business loss
on the assessment of 1894 under the in
come tax act. The assessment, however,
has been temporarily suspended, owing
TO the late decision of the supreme court
and until new instructions are sent out
to collectors from the treasury depart
ment.

extreme southern section, are not in
need of the relief proposed in the bill
They have not suffered from the effects
of the cold and there is no good and
valid reason why the collection of taxes
in these counties should be deferred for
several months. 1t strikes us that Mr.
Bloxham's circular letter, if the advice
therein given is followed by the collect
ors, is better than the proposed law.

SOME RELIEF TO TRUCK ERs.


truckers of Florida, as their interests
are identical with those of the truckers
of Charleston in whose favor the decision
was made
The title of the case was the Truck
Farmers Association of Charleston VS..
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany and
other transportation forming through
lines from Charleston to New York and
other Northern and Eastern points. The
decision is as follows
Where. on shipments Of strawberries
and vegetables from Charleston destined
for New York, delivery is made by the
roads at the terminus of the rail line in
Jersey City, in computing the total cost
of transportation to New York, the ex-
pense of carriage over from Jersey City
is to be added to the rate charged to that
point.
In case of a change of delivery of such
shipments from New York to Jersey
City and the maintenance after the
change, of the same rates to the latter as
had been in force to the former city for
a series Of years preceding the change,
the carriers are charging, for less SER
vice, the compensation which they had
presumably deemed adequate for a
greater and the rates as applied to Jersey
City are prima facie excessive.
Where a carrier pays mileage for a car
Ii oIo &I0 ~
pers, it is the carrier and not the party
or com pany from whom the Car is rented,
who furnishes the car to the shipper,
and in such case there is no privity of
contract between the car owner and the
shipper.
1t is the duty of the carrier to furnish
an adequate and suitable car equipment
for all the business 1t undertakes, and
also whatever is essential to the safety
and preservation OF the traffic in transit.
When carriers undertake the trans
portation of perishable traffic, requiring
refrigeration in transit, ice and the
facilities for it's transportation in con
nection with that traffic are Incidental to
the service of transportation, and the
charge therefore is charge Gin con-
nection with" such service within the
meaning of Section of the Act to Regu-
late Commerce, in respect to the reason
ableness of which the carrier is subject
to that provision of the statute it is held,
under the evidence in this case.
First-That on shipments of straw
berries from Charleston to Jersey City,
the charge of cents per quart for re-
frigeration en- route is excessive, that the
charge therefore should not exceed II
cents, and that the total charge per
quart for the service of transportation on
such shipments and necessary service
Tin connection herewith" including
refrigeration, should not be in excess of
6 cents per quart
Second-That IA cents per package
should be deducted from the rate of
vegetables shipped in standard barrels
or barrel crates from Charleston to Jer.
sey City in cases where the delivery of
such vegetables has been changed from
New York to Jersey City without a
change in rates, and
Third-That the rate on cabbages
shipped in standard barrels or barrel

l. If you use linen your compost you
should cover the pile with land plaster
to catch the escaping nitrogen, caused
by the action of the lime on the COM
post. The amount of cottonseed meal
to add to a cord Of muck would depend
on how strong compost you wished to
make. The more cottonseed meal, the
more nitrogen your compost would con-
tain. 1t also helps decompose the COM
post. 1t would be best not to add nj
trate of soda till just before the COM
post is applied to the land. The object
of the compost is to decompose such
su distances as are not already in the form
of plant food. Nitrate of soda does not
