The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1906-10-19

1t is reported that in his Bronson
speech, in answer 10 the question ''How
about taxing land in one part of the
State to drain another? - Gov. BFOWard
replied that the constitutional amend
ment did not contemplate any such In
justice, says the Gainesville Sun. It is
also reported that the Governor ex-
pressed his regret at not having a copy
of the amendment with him, so as to
have made his reply to his fellow-citi-
zens more complete.
We do not believe that Gov. Broward
thus misrepresented the matter. The
constitutional amendment does contem-
plate the taxing of one section of the
State for draining another. In fact, it
contemplates and provides for all kinds
of wasteful situations, and gives to the
people of Florida no redress. Under
the provisions of the amendment, were
it too pass, the drainage commissioners
which are virtually the Governor and
members of his cabinet, could levy
taxes within prescribed district in Es-
Gambia county in order to raise money
for draining the Everglades, for itgives
the commissioners the right to set aside
any section of the State, or the whole
State for that matter, and levy tax
not to exceed ten cents per annum per
acre.
That is why there is such universal
opposition to this amendment through
out the State. 1t takes from the peo-
pie Of the State their rights, and trans
fers them to a board of which the Gov
eTnOr of the State is at the head. There
could be no appeal from the decision or
action of this board. The legislature
would be pOwerles to represent the peo-
pie of Florida in the matter, and the
Governor and those of his cabinet who
would be members Of the board would
| levy the taxes, collect the money and
disburse it, without the slightest right
on the part of any delegated authority
in this State to either supervise or re-
strict their actions.
If draining the Everglades is a good
thing, why not have it accomplished in
a business-like way? Why create a po-
litical machine which would be all pow
erful? The Sun does not think that the
people of Florida will vote to transfer
their rights to party of five or six men
without placing some restrictions about
them.
The proposed amendment places too
mu CHI authority in the hands Of q few.
For this reason it is dangerous. A law
of this character would be dangerous
even if it came upon the statute books
of the State by legislative enactment.
But to incorporate such law into the
constitution is fraught with even more
danger Tropical Sun.
