the voters of Florida to go to the

it will not prove an unmixed evil.
Many thousands of them have for

have out a lot Of keen witted law

BEWARE OF SCHEME
Il Has More Evils Than 4re
Apparent on its Face /
one CALLS FOR ANOTHER
So When the Ball Starts There's No
Telling Where 1t VIII Stop.

The Jacksonville Capital Rembva
Association practically admits hat
an expenditure of million dollars
for a new Capitol Building, and 1.-TWO
hundred thousand dollars additp pnal
for furniture and beautifyings the
grounds, is contemplated if the Pap
ital should be removed to that Eity,
and if you add the interest the
two items mentioned it would bean
about two and one-half milliort dol
lars to be taken from the pockS Sts Of
the taxpayers for I,Grory, AMI not
anecessity. 1t would be weliff the
taxpayers to realize that not OILY is
that enormous sum involved d the
question of Capital removal, bus that
there will be large additional e kpen-
ditures required to care for thS new
Capitol and grounds. Furthef than
this, it was stated by a citi sen of
Jacksonville in the State COnv{nton
that a Governors Mansion shot I'D be
built and cared for by the Statet This
would mean another additionkl ex-
pense to the taxpayers. Statt the
ball rolling and where will j stop?
If extravagant methods are Eubsti-
tinted for the conservative tOurse
heretofore pursued how longs swill it
be before your propertyis pra{ ideally
con6scated?
AS an example of what alay be
expected from extravagant ideas.
lust look at Jacksonville with o
Bonded and Judgment DEbt Of
$l,27O,OOO.OO besides f1OatiSg debt
the amount of which can nos be OBJ
tanned. Her city tax rate is f5 2-lO
mills, more than three times the en-
tire State tdc rate for all Purposes,
including the State School II x, Pen
sion Tax and Board Of, Heasth, Tax.
In addition to this Duval oenty has
a bonded debt of three hundred
thousand dollars, which is ALTO lien
on the property of the q fizeDs OF
Jacksonville. Does this ford an
examnle worthy of ImitatT Pm? Do
you want the same infd ences to
control State affairs?
The fact that the JacksoA willie ad-
vocates of Capital removal reat the
value of a"dollar" so light y should
cause you to think, and beSVare that
by your action you do not bpen the
way for the expenditure of hyour last
"dOllar."
Man is undoubtedly inf Fenced by
his surroundings. Spend d million
dollars for new CapitoR building
and two hundred thOusahd dollars
more for furniture and 14pres, and
for beautifying the ground and you
will have the magnifc4ice and
costly surroundings WHICH fill the
mind with the most eftTavagant
ideas and leads to the fur ther lavish
use of the peoples money!

An Electric Storm.

Last Thursday night was one that
will long be remembered here. AT
twilight it was perfectly fair, and in
tensely hot. An hour. later small.
black cloud appeared on the eastern
horizon. 1t rose rapidly and was
heralded by an almost continuous
flash of lightning and roar of thun-
der. Following nearly a half hours
blow, during which time it was quite
difficult to navigate the streets for
wind and dust, rain came down in
1Apsata The storm AsbNed;
however, about as rapidly as it came
up and the remainder of the night
was delightfully."- cool. In fact sew
eral days of cool weather followed.
Considerable damage was done by
the wind and Tony Warn had four
hogs killed by the lightning. They
were in. a pen and next morning
when he went to feed them they
were dead. Not a n mark was visible
on them, but they had not been sick
and he is sure light4ing killed them.

the summer school. This is school

engaged, who are specialists in their

.ploring the death of VIM. Clark, the
man who backed the "Clark Syndi-

1'hat paper reported him dead August
9th, gave a4 extended write up of his

Enquiry at the general offices of the
above railroad reveals the fact that
nothing has been heard by them Oi
the sad event, and further that VIM
Clark has been IN Europe for several
years. Some enterprising reporter
must have run in a huge fake on the

or Governor stone the enormous Uuan-
tity of II ,433,341 pounds of oleo was
sold in Pennsylvania in one year The
sales have been reduced to less than
SOC, 900, as many dealers who have sold
oleo colored as butter have been ar
rested and convicted through the oper-
ations of the state officials. The pres
ent law, the act of May 5, 1899. was
passed at the instance of the Dairy
mems Union and the State Grange al
the outcome of a meeting held at Will
Transport in December. The bill was
taken to Harrisburg by the secretary OF
the Dairymen's Union and by the leg
islative committee of the State Grange.
The weak points in the measure have
been demonstrated by practical expe-
rience of the state officials, and they
will undertake to recommend amend
ments to the present act which will
make the prosecution of the men ac-
cused of selling oleo in imitation of
butter less difficult and which will
make the punishment quite severe.
SCHOOLS TO BE CARED FOR.
The matter of the appropriations to
the public schools has been the subject
Of much newspaper abuse of the state
administration. 1t is manifest that
these attacks have been for purely par
tisan purposes and were without justi-
fication.
When Governor Stone was inaugu-
rated he sent a message to the legis-
lature explaining the conditions of the
state finances and setting forth the
fact that there would be an estimated
deficiency of three millions of dollars
unless appropriations were greatly re-
duced or some new sources of revenue
were procured. He made several rec
concentrations regarding means to
raise more money, but the insurgent
and Democratic combine in the house
defeated the bills which were intended
to meet this contingency.
This combine not only prevented the
passage of legislation to raise money,
but it failed to reduce the appropria-
tions, and the governor in order to
protect the credit of the common
wealth, felt obliged to cut $5O0,OOO a
year from the item for schools.
STONES PROMPT ACTION.
Less than two years have elapsed,
and owing to the extraordinary activ-
ity of the state officials in collecting
back taxes from delinquent corpora
tions and making other corporations
pay their full share of taxation, the ap-
parent deficit has been changed to a
magnificent surplus, and Governor
Stone has publicly stated that with the
opening of the next legislature he will
at once forward message calling for
the immediate passage of deficiency
bill which will make up the $500, 900 a
year for the schools, the amount which
he deducted, SO that they will actually
not suffer in the slightest degree for
any part of the original appropriation
of $5,500,000 a year made by the last
legislature.
The stalwart Republican majority in
the legislature will without doubt
promptly adopt the suggestion of Gov
ernor Stone and the so-called school
issue will have been disposed of to the
satisfaction of the people, and no doubt
to the disgust of the Democrats and
tn insurgents. who, with nothing to
kick about, will accordingly be un-
happy.
