TAX Laws UNCONSTITUTIONAL

A case involving the constitutiOnaIit!
OF the laws of Florida relating to tn,
assessment Of taxes was heard in tn,
Federal court in Pensacola on Wednes
day, April 4, and temporary restrain
ing order was issued directed to Charles
s. Turner, tax collector of Waltor
county, restraining him from proceed
ing with the collection of taxes pending
the final adjudication Of the suit?
The action was brought by the Jack.
son Lumber Company, who, by attor.
ney, contended that the law of the State
OF Florida under which tax assessors
assessed taxes without notice to the tax
payer and without giving the taxpayer
an opportunity TO be heard to give the
value Of his property, was unconstitu.
tional. An order to show cause was
entered by the court, returnable in ten
days, which restraints the tax collector
from making collections until the cause
is finally decided.
Should our tax laws be declared un-
constitutional, great complications, in
conveniences, and what-not may, and
most assuredly would, follow; and, as
itwould be abouta year before the con-
vening Of the Legislature, there is lit
tie doubt an extra session of the Legis-
lature would have 10 be called TO make
the correction, in order that the good
people could then have taxes taken from
them in legal manner; for the where

the government, and thus keep the ma
chlnery going, must come, and must
come legally The people will again
have to pay dearly for having sent to
the Legislature enough incompetent.

HONORABLE POLITICS.

Says the st. Augustine Record: This
Is the season Of political announce
ments. Every paper in the State con-
tains from half dozen TO two dozen
cards from gentlemen seeking the good
willard incidentally the ballots-of
the dear people. In some cases the old
ground is gone over, of past records, Of
stewardship faithfully performedhto
which are added promises 81 better
services in the future. All of this "a
very well in its way, but occasionally
something more pertinent to the great
issues before the people in the present
instance is the announcement of W..
Vason, of Tallahassee, a candidate for
Representative, who takes occasion to
say:
THE high calling and the paramount
duty of legislator is to strive by all
honorable means to defeat the fioodtide
Of useless and vicious measures, by
which every Legislature is beset, that
the statute book be not encumbered
with laws seeking only to subserve pri-
vate interests and selfish ends.
Excessive legislation - too many
laws-is the bane of civil government.
The system is confusing, embarrassing
and vexatious to the masses of the peo-
pie, greatly tending to create spirit Of
mistrust and unrest for the organized
authority of the government.
1T is not surprising, then, how very
few persons there be who can state the
exact law upon many important sub
jects, as is of force today; even the
lawyers differ as to what is the law, and
often unsheath their swords in the for
ensic arena and fight like Turks.
Ignorance of the law is no shield for
its violation, and even though hid in the
labyrinth of remote legislation, it SPANS
and penalties confront all alike.
The people that are governed the
east are the freest and the happiest;
he government with the fewest laws is
he most stable and the best"
Any candidate for the State legisla-
ure would be pretty safe in adopting
uch platform as this, and he could
ount on the hearty approval of the
electors. Experience has been a splen-
lid teacher.

A "GMOULISH PLEASURE."

The terms Of Justices Chas. b. Park
hill and James B. Whitfield, two justices
OF the State Supreme Court, expire
next January. II is generally under
stood that they will be candidates for
denomination at the coming Democratic
! primaries. The people of Columbia
county will take ghoulish pleasure in
voting against them. Their unfair
methods in fighting Lake City, when
endeavoring to secure the permanent
location Of the University of Florida,
will be remembered by all true, loyal
and patriotic citizens of Columbia
county. These men should not receive
vote within the confines of our coun-
tvs border line, and, unless we are
greatly mistaken in the people of Co
lnmbla county, they will not. Lake

Just such nonsensical, untruthful and
unjust speels as the above is rauseat-
ing, and no one believes many people of
Columbia county harbor any such feel
ings toward Judges Parkhil and Whit
field for the part they may have taken,
as judges of the Supreme Court, in de-
claring the Buchanan law constitutional.
If there are many of them in that
county who feel such bitterness against
the judges for performing their duty,
conscientiously as they saw it, there
will be thousands all over Florida who
will resent it, and give such "ghoulish
pleasure" takers as is referred to above
to understand that these judges can be
elected to Office without the votes of
such citizens of Columbia county. We
cannot believe Columbia county is made
up Of many Of such thinking people.
There are many people of Florida who

two, one at Gainesville and one at Tai

fact alone goes far towards assuring a
large attendance upon both schools.

For the information of the Plant CITY

considered that the Florida Railroad

the Georgia Commission law. The prin-
