BROWARD AND BEARD
DEBATE QUESTION OF DRAINING
 THE EVERGLADES.
The Governor of Florida Has Given Much Thought to the Question and Regards 1t as Entirely
 Feamfbie.

Pensacola. Fla. Aug 2o.---(special.l In the presence of an immense crowd tonight. many of whom came from oth-
 CT sections of the state. Governor Ma poieon B. Broward and Hon. John s.
 Beard engaged In Joint debate upon
 the drainage of the Florida Everglades.
 proposition which is now before the
 people of Florida and which is meeting
 with much opposition from some sour ces It was the fist time the Governor had engaged in joint debate upon the question although he has spoken In a number of places upon the subject.
 His address tonight was one which consumed an hour and a half and he dealt with every phase of the question: He showed that 1t was not only feAa- ible to drain the Florida Everglades.l but the cost would be small compared to the immense value In return for these rich reclaimed lands. He has. made a study of the matter and gavos his audience the benefit of the ineor-l nation he had gathered.
 Mir. Beard took the position that he. drainage of the vast swamp. some por-l tions Of which has never been explored by man, was not only unprecedented burt the cost would be tremendous and the taxation greatly increased.
 Governor BroW&rd m9de most pow erfuI argument showing up the reasons of being opposed by the railroads in his efforts to have the lands drained anal settled up. the principal of which wasl that the railroad owning some 4,ooo.000t acres would be called on to contrtbutG a large amount to the drainage fund.- and that after reclaimed 25 percent orl the land. would go 10 the school fun6a of the State. His idea is to drain thei Everglades as the funds are availabler disposing of the reclaimed lands to set-s tiers. The Governor was frequenely applauded throughout his iegnthy add dress as was also Mir Beard. who, howl ever, was at disadvantage inasmuch as he had not made a study of the question. His address however, was d brilliant one.
 During today Governor Browar6 res ceived many callers, prominent citi- gems escorting him about the city ana tonight he, with President Mayes oE the Chamber of Commerce, were guest& of Mayor Charles IT. Bliss at dlnners The Governor will probably leave ilz tbe morning and return to Tallahassee owing fc much pressing business.
