ONLY A PARTY MEASURE.

Writing to the editor of the TAI.
LAHAsSEEAN under date September
IA, a prominent citizen of Lake:
county says:
81 desire to be informed if it is
lawful to vote for removal of the
State Capital, when white Republican
taxpayers are excluded from voting?
as is said to be the case in the pres
ent instance. Ii there be any cause
existing can get Republicans here
to plead for an injunction against the
said election this fall, and so defeat
the Jacksonville people. for all the
people in Lake county are not in
harmony to put the Capital to said
place. Give us a rest"
The primary to be held on the 9th
of November on the question of Cap
ital removal is onl y party measure
and hence only those affiliating with
the Democratic Earty will be allowed
to vote at said primary. The result
of this primary election does not set
tie the question, except in SO far as it
seeks to impose a moral obligation
upon Democratic members of the
Legislature of 1901 to vote in accord
ance Herewith, when the question is
brought up before that legislative
body. For instance, should Ocala,
st. Augustine OF Jacksonville win at
the November primary, and the Leg
iSlature pass a joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the COnsti-
tuition whereby such place would be-
come the Capital Of the State, the
said joint resolution would still have
to be submitted for ratif c ltiOn or re-
lection to all the electors Of the State,
at the general election to be held in
1902. If ratified it would then be-
come effective.
1t is important, however, that the
question should be completely
showed under at the November pri.
mary, by voting for Tallahassee.

DUVAL'S OPPOSITION.

That there is serious opposition in
our own ranks on the Capital re-
moval question is apparent to all who
daily talk to the voters of our city as
We dO.-Florida Journal, Jackson
vile.
That there was a formidable oppo-
sition to Capital removal in Dnval
county, we, have been convinced for
some time. The people there are al
ready paying so much tax tIat they
do not care to be further burdened in
that direction.

even by the rank and file of their
own party. But, then, there is no
necessity for the rank and file of the
republican party to comprehend this
or, anything else. Hanna and the
other leaders give them an inspired
gospel, which they are to believe
and act upon by faith alone. Of all
the preposterous things that the Re-
publicans have asserted and still as
sert, the most preposterOus, in the
eyes of fair minded men, is the
dogma that the acts of the Presl-
dent in regard to foreign affairs are
to be taken as the acts of the cOun-
try and are not to be criticised. In
times of grave national peril, it is
the first duty of the citizen to sup
port the government, but to say that
the war against the Filipinos involves
a military peril to this country is to
speak nonsense. To say that this
war, accompanied as it is with the
claim that the President and Con-
gress may govern a people without
their consent and the territories Oi
the United States without cOnstitu-
tional restraint, ought not to be dis
cussed by the people, is to deny them
the right to pass on vital issue af
fecting. the character of their gov
ernment. 1t is an idea to claim OF
behalf of the administration exemp-
ton from criticism. That this might
prolong the struggle was one Of the
obvious risks of a war that was moi
undertaken for national defense. L
is ridiculous to charge the inevitable
consequences of this war to those
who from the outset have denied it
necessity and pointed out its perils

EXPERIENCE OF OTHER STATES.

EXPERIENCE OF OTHER STATES.
The h9rory of the erection of all
Capitol b Buildings is that they always
cost mud 9h more that the amount
Supposedsto- be necessary when the
work is proposed. The New York
Capitol cost to January 1, 1900,
1924, ,265, ,B2.67, and it is still in an
incomplete condition. The expert
ence of Texas, South Carolina and
Iowa sbos sild be q warning to all other

FloridS has less than ninety-four
millions Of property on her tax books,
and her present tax rate is as high as
the taxpayers can stand. This is no

Let Us See What the Records Say.

Misleading statements having been
made as to the action of the Legisla-
ture in the matter of submitting to
the people proposed amendment to
the State Constitution relating to the
location of the seat of government,
the records of the House of Repre-
sentatives and Senate have been ex-
amined, and the facts disclosed by
the official Journals are as follows:
"House Joint Resolution No. 18.
By Mr.. Clark.
A joint resolution proposing an
amendment to Section l of Article
XVI of the Constitution of the State
of Florida, relating to the 10, alton of
the seat of government" was taken up
and the substitute therefor offered
by the committee was adopted to
take the place of the original resolu-
ton. The substitute was then read
the first, and second, time, and on
motion of Mr.. Clark, of Duyal, the
resolution was read the third time
and put upon its passage. The vote
was: Yeas "37," Nays $50" $50 the
resolution having failed to receive the
requisite three-tifths vote did not
pass" The number of votes (three-
ifths of all the members elected)
which is required by the Constitution
to pass a proposed amendment in the
House of Representatives is Al;
number voting for the proposed
amendment 81, or 4 less than the
number required.
The following explanations were
made by members of the House, as
appears on the Journals:
Mr.. HarvelI, of Santa Rosa coun,
ty, said:
"BelieviDg that this. resolution
would increase the burden of taxes
ON the taxpayers of the State of
Florida, and believing this to be un-
wise legislation at this time, as our
people are now being taxed with bur
dens that are almost crushing them
out of existence, and the passing oOf
this resolution would cost the tax
payers of the State of Florida sever
