TIE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE.

II Tue idSU FLORIDA legislature,
Joshua-like, could have reversed the
calendar and made the first days its
last days, it would have gone down
in history as one of the greatest leg
islative bodies on the earth
Like nearly all previous legislatures
1t went in with great blow of trum-
pets; the newspapers were generous
even to the point of prodigaIity in
tossing bouquets to the individual
members and the very atmosphere
seemed surcharged with great and
impending fate, but as the days came
and went, the trumpet peals of COM
mendarion were only heard at long
intervals, the newspaper bouquets
began TO wither and fade and when
the adjournment actually took place
there was sigh of inexpressible re-
lief from all quarters.
Then the true measurement of the
different members was taken because
they had made their record, it was a
matter of history, and it was posi-
BILE to size them up correctly. The
newspaper correspondents are giving
forth their measurements freely.
Editors are giving utterance to their
convictions. Then there is a general
measuring up by brother Legislators
and the old familiar medicine cut of
''before and after taking' is exposed
to public attention completely re-
versed
The incoming! How hopeful,
buoyant and big with fate,
But the outgoing! What tale it !
tells,
The summing up of the intelligent |
correspondent of the Tampa Tribune |
is that the last legislature was the !,
worst since the reconstruction era, {,
and that seems to be the consensus
of opinion of newspaper correspon-
dents at the capital and of newspa- !
pers generally throughout the state.
With great many able and con-
spicuous exceptions (the Marion
county representatives, of course,
being included in the exceptions) the |
members appeared big to themselves
They always looked at themselves |
through the big end Of the telescope. |
They were bigger than the governor,
the attorney general, the entire state !!
administration, the president and !!
trustees of colleges and the editors |
OF newspapers generally.
These statesmen, all too fresh, es-
sayed TO instruct the governor and !
his cabinet in matters OF courtesy, i
in the construction of language and in |
the ethics of politeness.
Speaking seriously, the records our |
legislatures are making are getting to !
be such that our best men hesitate to |
become members.
What the careful and Intelligent |
correspondent OF the Tampa Tribune |
says ought TO put the voters of Flor /
ida TO thinking.
We ought TO send members 70 the |
Legislature who will come out, not go |
in, with the sound and fare OF trum- |
pets.

JUDGE Ill G0F
HEARS ton
OF Taxing 5 M s.

Judge Nathan Golf held 4 s1ecial
session of United States cfreniE
court here Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock, to hear a matter of inn
portance relating to the taxing Of
national banks by the States.
The case before him was that of
the Old National Bank Of Martins-
burg, this state, against @. j..
Stueley, retiring sheriff of Berkeley
county.
An injunction was granted by
Judge Golf October 81 upon the
application of the bank restraining
and enjoining Mr. Stucley from
collecting state taxes for 1904 as
sessed against the bank, and the
case came up Wednesday on demur-
rer to the hill and upon motion
to dissolve the injunction.
The contention of the bank of
ficials is that the State has no right
TO tax national bank, and they fur
ther base their contention on the
claim that the banks capital, sur
plus and undivided dividends are
invested in Unied States govern
ment bonds.
Fl. II. Emmert, of Martinsburg,
the bank. and Western
hayer. Gilkeson and Noll the sheriff
and State.
At the conclusion of the argu-
ment Judge Golf took the motion
under consideration.
