SUGGESTIONS FOR THE

As our lawmakers and IawmenderS

remedial legislation | think should
engage their attention. First orr tax

men who have lived in the county for
years and pay no taxes at all, yet
they have the advantage OF the pub

Cook suggestion is a good one, only
it would fail TO reach the tax dodS-
ers. l think there should be 4 deputy
collector in each beat empowered .
collect from every man who is sub
ject under the revenue laws of III"
state.
There should be an amendment 10
our criminal laws on larceny. arson.
or all misdemeanOrs where there is
a loss by some one financially. If
some one steals your horse or COW.
or burns yOUr house YOU can carry
him into court and send him to the
penitenJiary. but if you have failed
TO recover the loss You are loser that
much. | believe our laws should be
so amended that the court or Jury
finding a person guilty should also
assess the loss or damage and there
should be an additional Sentence
worked out TO indemnify the loser.
because there is no reason why the
guilty party should not pay the loss.
In our j. p. courts where d Jury
is demanded the cOurt officer Is com
PEELED by law TO allow the Jury but
there is no provision for the pay of
the jury. The law allows them 80
cents per day and no mileage. but
in directing the disbursement of the
fine and forfeiture fund they Gail to

in J. p courts. This should be cor

IRREGULARITIES OF WATER.

Change OF Temperature

Its Expansion, Contra elton and SIO-=
Change OF Temperature
Water is such n common substance
that we usually think but little about
it. In a pure state il consists of two
gases. oxygen and hydrogen, chemical
ly combined. The volume of the by
drOgen is twice that OF the oxygen. but
the oxygen even then is eight times as
heavy as the hydrogen. Practically we
never obtain pure water. As it falls
from the clouds it washes the impuri-
ties from the air, and as it sinks into
the earth it dissolves many substances.
Even distilled water IS rarely pure and
caunot be kept any length OF time.

Governor Broward'S
Message to Legislature.

Governor Broward's message to the
legislature. which was read to that
body yesterday afternoon and
synopsis of which is published in The
Journal today, ls a strong and virile
document and, -forsthe most part, just
what might be expected from man
Of Governor BToward's type and char
acter.
The chief features of the message
are its treatment OF the subjects of
railroad legislation, good roads,
franchise tax, immigration, safe life
insurance, the race problem, and the
right of the public TO correct informa-
ton as furnished by the newspapers.
In the matter OF railroad legisla-
lion, Governor Broward fayors enlarg
ing the powers of the railroad com
mission, making that body a cOnsti-
tutional branch of the state govern
nent, giving the commission power to
make an inspection of the physical
condition of the roads, and to enforce
demurrage payments for delayed
freight. law limiting the hours of
labor OF railroad employees and to
otherwise safeguard the lives and
persons of both passengers and EN-
ployees. He also recommends that
express companies, telephone and
telegraph companies be placed under
the jurisdiction of the railroad COM
mission.
He advocates bonding the state for
the building of good roads. the estab-
fishing OF a state department of I'M.
migration with a proper appropria-
ton TO make its work effective. the
enactment of d law providing for a
tax on franchises, and for rigid law
making it d misdemeanor for d news
paper 10 knowingly publish an untrue
article which tends to destroy the
confidence of the people in any can
didate or public officer
In all of these things Governor
Broward voices the sentiment. we he
heve. of the vast majority of TIE PEG
people of this state and the Ieglsla-
ture will be carrying ouc the wishes
pf that majority by enacting legisla-
lion in accordance with the govern
0r's recommendations.
The matter OF state life insurance
Is something which, while attractive
IN theory, IS probably a little IN ad
vance of public sentiment, though d
study of that question will lie very
good thing for the entire pubic at
this time. and later il may be advis-
able to adopt the plan.
