APPLAUD DECISION

With hardly an exception the press
of Floripa applauds the recent de-
cision of Judge Locke in the case
brought by the Southern Land and
Tim Yer Company against the levying
and collecting Of taxes for the pro-
posed drainage Of the Everglades.
Despite court decisions Governor
Broward has signified his intention
of prosecuting the work and maxi
ing this a state issue in the next cam
palgn. 1t is more than probable that
the candidates for the Legislature
will be declaring IL cir positions in
in reference to the drainage scheme
Of the Governor, ra1 there appears
e ~ &c e llil::i!c, d ,dbf that the sentiment
of the State is against this gigantic
project, which would drain the State
treasury as well as Okeechobee lake.
Goxernor Broward in his speech de-
livered in Jacksonville Saturday
night made it point to define his
position and it'll apparent from his
utterances that he has with him mem
bers of his cabinet. Every thing
points 10 a hot campaign with this
question a paramount issue.
There is a great question involved |
and it is TO be hoped that the matter
will receive careful consideration
If this is done there is not the slight
est doubt that the issue will be pos
itively decided against the plan pro-
posed by the Governor of Florida.
In the meantime it is to be hoped
that Governor Broward will adopt a
more dignified course in presenting
his arguments to the people of Flori-
da and not seek to bring into the
controversy the charge that those. ]
p1pers who are opposed 20 tbe plan
are not sincere ind are influenced by
the .ailr9ad5 Of Florida. 1t is time
that Ibis silly argument is being dis
peused with. There is no truth IN
such assertion and it is not made
with a view Of strengthening the ar
in favor of drainage, but
for the purpose of prejudicing the
minds Of those who are to pass upon
this question. Industrial Record.

to foster or encourage factionalism
or disruption of the forces that con-
tribute to the growth and upbuild-

are neglected and the result is a
