Good Suggestion.
The Pensacola Journal and other
leading papers advocate abolishing the
Office of county treasurer. The sug-
gestion is a good one, but now new.
Many members of every legislature
for the past twelve years have real
lied that the Office of county treasur-
er is nothing but a sinecgre-an IN
necessary tax on the people-but so
far it has been impossible to get the
necessary three-ffths vote of the men,
bers of the legislature to submit con-
stitutional amendment abolishing the
office-Galnesville Sun.
As Viewed in Madison.
There is a growing sentiment in the
state for the adjustment Of the office
of county treasurer, the advocates OF
the plan declaring that the money
collected might be handled by the tax
collectors and the banks with less
cost to the several counties. There is
no immediate danger however, and
those fortunate individuals handling
the money of the several counties of
the state have the consolation Of
knowing that to take their Office from
them an amendment 20 the Constitu-
ton will first have to be adopted by
the people and that takes time, and
as recent events have shown. even
time does not always accomplish it

That Political Row
In Hillsborough County.

The newspapers of Tampa have held
up in their little campaign against the
governor for not calling special
election in that county for the cleo
ton of a tax assessor to succeed the
late Chas E. Worth. They have
evidently come to the conclusion that
the governor does not agree with
their contentious about the constitu-
tionality of the appointment OF Nc
Fall. During the discussion several
interesting, and some sensational,
statements were made by both sides
to the controversy. The ST. Peters
burg Independent sizes up the situa-
ton as follows:
We still hold that Governor Brow
ard can appoint whomsoever he pleas
es and he generally does And as
his friends are a pretty clean and de-
cent lot of people he can hardly make
a mistake in choosing from among
them.
And you will also note that Cover
nor Broward will come pretty close
to naming the next Governor of Flor
ida, and the people will elect him on
the Governors recommendation.
There are a few disgruntled polite
ians here and there who didn't get
what they wanted and they have
taken their playthings off Broward's
cellar door and gone over to their own
dung-heap and set up a wall, but you
get into the backwoods, and the
orange groves, and with people who
admire honesty, and courage of con-
victions, and a tenacity of purpose.
and you will find that Mr.. Broward
lies pretty close to their hearts.
We want the Tampa papers to I'M
derstand that we are not mixing up in
the little personal fight of theirs, but
we do want them to understand and
