FIorida'S Tax Rate.
From thGsavaunah Morning News.

From the Savannah Morning News.
The state tax rate in Florida
this year will be two and a half
mills. This is a reduction of a
half mill from last year. With
such a tax rate the people of Flo
rida have no reason to complain
of excessive taxation.
1t is a fact that the government
of Florida is economically conouct,
ed. The legislature meets only
once in two years. and the session
is short when it does meet. Off
Gals are paid small salaries. and
yet the state secures the services
of its most talented sons. Econo-
my is practIced in every part of
the state government, and at the
same time every interest is proper
ly cared for.
In thiSH state the tax rate is
double that Of Florida, and yet it
is doubtful if the people receive
any more benefits from the state
than the people of Florida receive
from that state. In this state,
however, the politicians insist up
on having session of the legisla
ture every year, and the pension
laws are so interpreted as to give
pensions to many VINO are better
off than the majority of those who
are taxed to pay pensions.
There are ways in which expen
ses could be reduced in this state
without injury to the public ser
vice, but it seems about impossi
BILE to get the legislature to take
notice of them. In the matter Of
economy our legislature coulc
learn some valuable lessons from
that of Florida. It's certain thai
if it could get the tax rate down a!
low as that of Florida it would DE-
the state the greatest possibl,
service. A low rate is about The
best advertisement that a stat,
can have. AT present in GeOrgi;
the tax laws have a tendency t
keep immigration and capital GU
of the state.

In several of the counties of the
state candidates in large numbers
have announced themselves, but
in these counties primary elections
are to be held for the nomination
OF party candidates for the various
offices. Where the scrub race" is
in vogue, as it is in Bradford, there
is no need for haste. The candi-
dates have until the day of the
election to clog roll and to begin
now would give US too much poll
tics for one year.

 Nstne the Life Rocket.

On coast where shoals and reefs make the use of life boat impractic- able. or where the breakers and surf put an insurmountable barrier between the distressed crew on wreck and the brave men on shore, the life rocket is reserted to; and, if the ship is within certain distance, the swift travelling line propelled through the air comes like a messenger of hope and life to those poor souls who, but moment before, seemed beyond the reach of hu- man aid. But, seei Suddenly a snow -Shite serpent shoots up in the air. It comes nearer and nearer; the anxious ly strained eyes can now see the line which travels with it. It has reached the wreck and has been seized by eager hands. Quickly it is pulled through tail-bIock, and, as they haul on, stout rope soon follows in it's wake. Next comes a hawser, py means Of which food and restoratives can be passed to the sufferers. Lastly comes the life buoy. and one by one the crew is safe lv- landed. Sometimes kind of car is sent, in which several people can be rescued at the same time.
