A GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Under the above caption a cur
rent issue of the Tallahasseean
publishes the following edito-
rial, which is very timely, to say
he least of it:
1.-THE subject which heads this
article is one in which the whole
State is interested. Beneath
the soil of Florida lies treasures
sufficient perhaps to make every
man. woman and child in the
State independent. 1t only
awaits development to take its
place along with other States
with its UNNECESSARILY rich de-
posits.
AT several sessions of the
Legislature an effort has been
made to have a bill passed pro-
viding for a geological survey,
but for some reason it has not
even received a favorable com
mittee report. And yet, as
above stated, it is not a section
al or individual matter. 1t is
one in which we are all interest
ed.
"Some Of the measures hereto
fore introduced and allowed to
be pigeonholed in the Legisla'
ture provided for a geological
survey by a competent geologist,
whose duty it should be in case
of a rich find to acquaiut the ow'
ner OF the property-whether it
be State or private land-with
the nature of the discovery and
the probable value of the depos-
its-before the information was
made public; or an opportunity
given land sharks to gobble it
up.
That was a righteous proyi-
sion, and one that was calculat-
ed to doubly-and perhaps more
repay the State for any outlay
in a short time. For. if the dis.
covery be on private property
the increased values would in
crease the States revenue from
taxation, and if the discovery be
made on State lands she would
be in a position to reap most of
the profits,
There is a widespread senti-
ment in the State now favorable
to a thorough investigation of
these resources, and we hope the
next Legislature will take it up
and act favorably upon it early
in the session."
