In determining how they shall vote
on the proposed Everglades drainage
amendment to the statt Constitution
next month. the pee ole Of Florida
need not go into the complex and
disputed engineering question in

much difference of opinion nor need

quent Natures Of the scheme, and this
question. right at the threshold. may
readily and properly enable him to
make up his mind as to how he shall
vote. Is he willing by his vote to
change the Constitution of Florida
the fundamental, organic law of the
State, and thereby establish a CON-
bination of Eve men who will be cal
led on to handle large sums of money
collected from the taxpayers without
giving any bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of duty; who will be sub
jet to no legislative control; who
may lay out drainage districts in any
part of the State they see fit and
assess and called and invest the
drainage tax upon It; and who will
hold this extraordinary grant of pow
er without any fixed limit and until
the people see fit to again change
their Constitution? If he is willing
to do this and thus inaugurate the
reign of a new power in Florida, out
side the Legislature and subject to
no correction or restraining Official
influence. he will vote for the amend
ment; but if he does not wish to con

in the State, he wiz vote against the
amendment If it is desirable to
drain the Everglades. surely the peo-
pie are willing to trust a Legislature
elected by themselves to select and
direct Emergencies by which it shall
be done.

type OF those stalwart. virile men
who invazsd the stupendous Wild

part of the last century and with
stout t.earts and strong hands laid
the broad and deep foundations Of
the civilization we now enjoying.

In its opposition to the proposed
drainage amendment to the State
Constitution and to further possible
tinkering with that organic instru-
ment to aid the purposes of factions,
the Tampa Tribune pertinently calls
attention to the true and only func-
ton of a constitution. Il says:
THAT instrument is intended to
cover. and only to cover. the founda-
ton principles Of the political gov
eminent Of the State and should
never be tempered with to serve in
dividual or party purposes" This is
the truth we'll stated and under this
definition 1t win be difficult for drain
age advocates to justify their pro-
posed amendment TO the organic law
Of Florida for no better purpose than
to dig ditch to drain a swamp.
