This appears to be revenge for the
massacre of the Ninth infantry. Of
course it is all wrong. In all my expe-

charge of executing natives Of the island

other proceeding would be inequita-
BILE and unjust to those companies who
own a very large per cent of the tax
able. property of the State.
The method in vogue of assessing
property at about One-third or one
fourth it's real cash value is objection
able for many reasons. The most i'm
portant objection, however, is that as
long as the system prevails the people
of each county put as low price upon
their lands as the assessor will per-
mt. The assessor is an elective officer,
interested in holding the position, and
consequently yields every point his
conscience will permit.
The result is that real estate values
constantly go down on the tax books
IN a great many counties. In those
hat are honest enough to add enhanced
values the people feel all the time that
they are bearing an unjust proportion
of taxation, and they have reason for
feeling that way too. Constant dis
satisfaction is the natural result.
Nor is this ALL We are endeavOring
to bring industrious settlers here They
look at our tax millage. They, of
course, do not know that property is
assessed so far below its real cash
value and the rate seems ruinously
high to them. In fact, many are de-
tered from coming on that account.
If all property was assessed at it's
real cash value the millage could be re-
duced to the minimum, and yet there
would be a surplus of funds. There is a
statute law in existence requiring prop
erty to be so assessed. We think, with
out consulting the Board or any
member of it, that the Board can
be relied upon to make the railroad
and telegraph companies bear their
just proportion. This being true there
is no justification for the present
method and no excuse for its continu7

CAN BE RELIED UPON.

There has been considerable COM
ment by the press of the State upon a
letter recently sent out by Governor
Jennings to the county tax assessors
throughout the State. The letter was
published in the news column of The
L IallahasSeean at the time, and the DO
sition taken by the Governor, to-wit:
that all property SHOULD be, under the
law, assessed at its REAL cash value,
was so manifestly correct and just that
we did not think it required editorial
argument or anything more than rass-
ing comment. But the question Las
stirred up whole lot of talk, if it
never causes action by the assessors.
Most of the papers for one cause or
another agree with the Governor with
out qualification or equivocation. The
Gainesville Sun, in its usual able man
ner, however, points out certain alleg-
ed dangers. 1t agrees with the Gov
ernOr that all property SHOULD be as
sessed at it's full cash value, but thinks
it would be dangerous to inaugurate
such plan. unless the same burden is
placed upon railroads and telegraphs.
We submit that the objection is not
well taken-under all the circum-
stances, which, by the way, ought to be
perfectly well understood by our old
friend McCreary of the Sun.
The railroads and telegraphs of the
State are assessed by a board COM
posed of the Comptroller, Treasurer and
Attorney-General of the State. These
officials have every access to all the
assessment rolls of the State, and it is
fair to assume that they take into con-
sideratiOn the pro rata of values assess
ed against other property holders in the
respective counties when they go to
make up the assessment against the
railroad and telegraph companies. Any

GIVE 1T A TRIAL.

Why some people will continually
condemn persons and things without a
hearing is beyond us. A case in point
is the bulldog tenacity with which Ger
tain brethren of the press condemn the
Railroad Commission as a useless ex-
pense, because, perhaps, it fails to meet
their ideas Of promptness and thorough
ness in accomplishing certain men
roned things.
That is all wrong. If the Railroad
Commission fails to accomplish some
thing that 1T should have done it is not
above rebuke, nor do its members so
consider it. But because the Railroad
Commission fails to secure at once the
constructionsof union depot is no rea-
son for its Abolishment, as one good

The fertile soil of Leon county fur
nisbes wonderful possibilities in the
cultivation of watermelons and canta-

proper attention in. the past on account
of the difficulties in the way of high

railroad has offered the same rates

its line as has been given Monticello.

GOV. JENNINGS APPOINTMENT.

GOV. JENNINGS APPOINTMENT
The Tallahasseean is not in the habit
of dealing out fulsOme f1attery, but we
cannot refrain from commencing Gov
ernor Jennings for appointing H. C.
Crawford as Secretary of State, to sue
ceed his lamented father. The Gov
ernor has been peculiarly wise in his
selections, but in the present instance
his judgment stands pre-eminently
forth.
The appointment is not only a hand
some tribute to the memory of the late
Secretary o. State, who was considered
by all who knew him as the incarna-
tiOn of rugged honestyan unapproach-
able integrity, but is a deserved COM
pliment to a most worthy public ser
want.
Clay Crawford has been in the secre-
tary's Office for several years, and is
thoroughly conversant with the duties.
During the past few years, owing to the
failing health of his father, he has vir-
tually been Secretary of State. In his
conduct of the affairs of the Office Mr..
Crawford has made many friends
throughout the State, and all will join
in congratulating Governor Jennings
for his choice. In Tallahassee the con-
census of opinion is that a better Sc
lection could not have been made. They
regard the appointment as a most hap
py one, and the chief executive has in
creased his popularity in the Capital
City.
The appointment is not to fill out the
unexpired term of the late Secretary of
State, but only until his successor is
elected and qualified. An election will
be held next November, at which a
secretary will be chosen. Mr.. Craw-
ford will, no doubt, be a candidate for
the position, and as he has a strong
following, the chances are that he will
succeed himself.

it is not always so much what a man
