More Money For Better Schools.

The Florida School Exponent,
in a somewhat lengthy article, fav-
ors the repeal of the five mill school
tax and the substitution therefor OF
a maximum limit of eight mills.
This, it is urged, would enable the
average school term to be length
ened to seven or eight months,
give good school houses, and ena-
BILE us to secure the very best teach
ers.
The suggestion is good one and
is such as has already obtained in
some counties i'm this state by the
special district tax levy.
Brevard county has already tried
the special district tax levy and is
we'll pleased with the venture
The great benefit that would be
derived from a change in the con-
stitutional limit would be the saw
ing in expense of holding elections
to decide upon special district tax
levies, which are necessary every
two years under the provisions of
the special act.
In reference to a higher millage,
we are met, says the Exponent,
with the objection that We are al
ready paying an average tax of y
mills, and that few states in the
union are paying a higher school
rate. While this is literally true,
it is yet fallacious as an argument
here, since it is we'll known that
the property of Florida, taken all
in all, is assessed at but little more
if any than % per cent. of its real
valuation. Instead ofpaying $3.50
per thousand, we are in reality pay
ing less than S1.50. We have not
the figures of the last census at
hand, but the census of 1900 shows
that Florida'S assessed valuation
was only 30 per cent. of the true
valuation. If our present school
fund was increased by 80 per cent.
we would still be paying less than
three dollars a thousand on a fair
valuation"

shall be pushed forward as rapidly
as possible so that peace can be Off
cially announced before his corona
ton. 1t is probable, however, that
the Beers are not SO much inter

will yield any points in order that
the king may have the satisfaction
of knowing that bis empire is at
peace with the world on the occa-

If the king is anxious for that
pleasure, Great Britain should

Some three years ago Senator
Hoar warned his colleagues in the
senate that they were imperiling
everything that had made this
country great and tended to main
tain its greatness. In his judgment
then the wealth of Indus would be
as dust in the balance when weigh
ed against the loss the nation would
sustain by the adoption of imperi-
alism. The question suggests itself,
has not experience abundantly JUS
titled the able senator's prediction?
Only last week Senator Hoar ad-
dressed the senate, In which he
made use of the following: what
have your ideals cost you? For the
Philippine Islands you have had to
repeal the declaration of independ-
ence. For Cuba you have had to
reatfirm and give it new lustre.
For the Philippine Islands you
have had to convert the Monroe
doctrine into a doctrine of mere
selfishness. For Cuba you have
acted on it, and vindicated it. In
Cuba you have the eternal graft
tude OF free people. In the Phil
ippine Islands you have the ha red
and sullen submission of a subju,
gated people. From Cuba you have
brought home nothing but glory.
From the Philippines you have
brought home nothing of glory"
