Palmetto News: In his last communi-
cation T. Totuller, the News CORE
spondent from Long Prairie, Manatee
county, pays the News the following
compliment, and then jumps on US
with both feet because our search-light
Eliminates the Everglades TO greater
extent than does his old-time frying
pan and pine-knot blaze. Hear him:
while conversing on this theme our
minds naturally drifted TO the many
giant minds who held views similar TO
ours on the drainage question. We
wondered why the editor Of the News
was not on the list. A man of his
mental caliber, overcoming opposition
from all sides, fearlessly meeting, with
irresistible argument, tho attacks from
less successful and envious editors
who unearthed the Palmetto News
from rubbish of obscurity, and, as II by
magic, transformed il TO the leading
paper of Manatee county, and a prom
ising rival to any in the State-how
this man could say, LET US use what
available lands we have first, and then
drain the Everglades" was a mystery
TO US.
According to promise, the News will
briefly give few of its reasons. And
it has been pretty generally asserted
by the papers Of the State in favor of
the experiment" that all papers op-
posed TO the drainage scheme are in
with the corporation and railroads, the
News will state that II neither stands
in with the corporations, nor Is it CIV
ing the Governor taffy for fat APP
pointive Office. 1t is looking 10 the in
terest of the majority of the people Of
the State, and does not think the drain
ing of the Everglades (were il possible)
would result to the good Of the peo-
pie of the State generally.
II has not been the pleasure Of the
News editor to visit Everglades, but It
has been learned from reliable parties
who have, that, except around the
outer edges, the land Is worthless after
being drained. Across New River,
from Fort Lauderdale going south,
nine-tenths Of the lands near the rail-
road tracks present q coral-rock APP
pearRnce. This land extends TO and
surrounding Miami, with a little i'm
provement south Of Miami. The belt
surrounding the Everglades Is saw pal
metto and scrub oak. Reaching the
inside you find coral rock, covered with
water, and an occasional beach and
sand fat. Il Ia said q man will wear
out q pair of shoes In one day walking
over this land.
Who owns this land7 It IL in litiga-
ton, and the people are asked to 'sbuy
pig IN the bag." The railroads hold
grants o1 each alternate section for six
miles on either side Of the track. In
The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1906-10-26

Perry, Oct. ia great deal of IN
terest Is being taken here in the ques-
ton of drainage, and the vote on the
proposed constitutional amendment pro-
viding for II will probably not fall far
below the total vote cast. Gov. Brow
ards earnest advocacy Of the measure,
with the comments they have aroused
in the newspapers, have put the people
to talking and thinking, and there are
very few men in the country who have
not an opinion that they will not ex-
press an opinion at the polls.
Gov. Broward has many supporters
in the county who look at the question
as he does Anything that will Increase
the amount Of taxable property in the
State appeals to the voters who take
pride in the growth of the State.
On the other hand, there are large
number Of men who are fearful Of the
vast powers that this amendment would
confer on q board The members Of
the drainage board, in a sense, are
elected by the people, and in another
sense they are not. The board IL COM
posed Of officials elected by the people,
but when the average voter casts his
ballot for them he thinks only Of the
Office they are 20 I'LL Few Of the voters
know which Of the State officers form
this board, and 30 the result practically
IL the board Il not chosen By the people.
The votes Of the few who think o. this
