probable in order Tor that body TO
complete the work 1t has neglected
and make up for the time idled away
Neither does it like the fact that
with the revenues OF the state reach
ing to only one million and a half
dollars, that the legislature will like
ly have made appropriations aggre-
eating nearly TWO million dollars be
fore it has finally decided to give up
the ghost Touching on this latter
subject the Journal says:
Yet with appropriations of over
two millions. in sight, not a bill has
been passed providing any means of
raising this revenue. Every attempt
TO pass a franchise tax bill has failed
With property valuations running up
into the millions, lying all about the
state, and escaping taxation of every
form, the legislature has refused to
provide a means for making this prop
erty help bear the burdens of govern
ment and the Notwithstanding cor
porations strut about the capital, the
absolute masters of the situation.
With the appropriations that are
in sight Governor Broward will have
one of two things to do, viz: levy
an additional tax upon the man with
mule, a home, or a private bust
ness; or call the legislature in extra
session for the purpose of putting the
responsibility on it of providing
means to raise the revenue with which
to pay its expenditures.
Those who know Governor BrOward
will have little difficulty in arriving
at a conclusion as to which horn of
the dilemma he will take"
What does the average Florida leg
istor care about the people or their
interests anyway? There are some
good men in that body. but they are
so few and in such small majority
that the will of the others makes them
practically useless. For freakish,
reckless and worthless legislatures the
present will likely have capped the
climax.

Good Roads Discussions
Through The Journal.

The Journal is publishing a great
deal of good roads matter now. In
fact, we are trying to secure good
roads story of some kind for eacn
days paper, and we trust that the
articles will prove both interesting
and instructive.
There is no longer any necessity
for argument as to the value of good
roads. Everyone admits and appre-
ciates that The question in which
the people of Escambia county are
chiefly interested is as to the best
materials to be used, and the quickest
means by which good roads may be
secured.
OF the materials discussed, those
which have appeared most practicable
for Florida appear to be clay, rock,
turpentine retort refuse, and oil and
sand, the last having been proved
satisfactory in California and now
iabout to be tested in Florida. We
ahaye the sand and we are within easy
access by water to the great oil
wells of Texas. The turpentine retOrt
refuse is OF course limited material,
but what there is of it might be used
to excellent advantage. OF clay we
have a plenty, and as for rock the
East Coast is making its finest roads
of that material, though its use as far
west as Escambia might not be prac-
@ticable.
The Journal will be glad to have
communications from anyone either
in West Florida or elsewhere who
can add anything to the general infor-
nation on the subject or who has any
questions to ask that it is possible to
answer.
We are in a good roads campaign
now and we intend to stay in it until
the map of Escambia county is grid
ironed with the best system OF good
roads in the southland we'll really
not confine the work to Escambia
county either
Keep a lookout for, and read thor
pughly. all of the good roads discus
sions you see in this paper.

EVERGLADES DrainaQe.

A successful vegetable grower from
Fit Lauderdale was at the state capt.
tai this week endeavoring TO purchase
from the state some of the muck lands
that have been drained by the canal
that is being cut through the Ever
glades by the state dredges- There
could be no better proof of the misrep-
reSentatiOn of certain papers and pub
lie men in the last election concern
ing the drainage of the Everglades
than the endeavOr of this successful
grower to get some of these lands.
We all remember how the Times
Union and other papers of the state
were publishing arguments about the
burning up of these lands and other
caIamIJieS that were sure TO happen
to them. What must many voters
of the state think of themselves for
allowing themselves to be deluded
into voting against the drainage
amendment by such representation.
Think of how so many of our state
were deceived into voting against
their own interests on this drainage
proposition by arguments put forth
by men who have sold their pTinci-
pies and their manhood for rich mems
gold. The Everglades contain some
of the richest lands in the world anu
all it needs is to be drained. The
corporations who got a large part of
it for nothing want the people to
drain their lands for them, and they,
objected to drainage as long as they
had to pay their part for the work.

mating him as one of the greatest gov
errors Florida ever had, and Mr.. Reg
lister declaring that as long as the.
people of Florida followed their peeH
less leader, the state would be SaveN
from the rule of plutOCTaCy.
The dill was not, it is learned,
passed upon by the majority caucus
of the house, otherwise designated as
the Before Day Club. which was or
gained for the passage of the drain
age bill and one or two others of
leading interest, this particular bill
being submitted To the house on it's
merits without consideration by the
caucus.
The house passed Senator Jack
sons bill providing for a commission
10 adjust the Indian war claims, but
reduced their power to that of recon-
mending settlement to the next legis-
lature, and specifically provided that
they are not TO consider the WALES
claim or any other passed upon by
previous session of the legislature
The senate spent the greater part
of the day discussing the general ap-
preparation bill.

Good Rods Meeting.

Although the anti-constructive
forces SEEM to have won the day in
the legislature and the splendid meas
ures to construct trunk lines of good
roads thTDugh the state will fail to
carry, still there Is but one thing to
do, and that is to keep up the agita-
ton until Florida shall obtain the
highways necessary for her proper de-
velOpmend
For this reason the annual meeting
of the equity commissioners and good
roads commission of the state. to be
held at Pensacola June IS. should be
largely attended. It will be possible
al the MEETING to formulate some
definite plan of action to compel the
next Legislature to pass good roads
bill In fad, it might be we'll to make
the question a part of the platform
on which Candidates for the legisla-
tUre must &and should they look for
the suffrag& of the people. Maybe,
if the governor calls that extra ses-
sion, the mstter might be focused so
strongly as to secure the necessary
legislation without the two years de-
lay. At all events. we trust the Pen
sacola meeting will take the question
up enthusiastically and hit upon some
plan to relieve the present urgent
need.-Tampa Tribune.

PROPOSED STATUE TO
THE ELDER MALLORY
Palatka Times-HeraId.
. . Q . . . . . ~>~~> -

At the request of many veterans,
Mr.. Mckenzie has introduced a bill
for a Legislative appropriation for the
erection of a statue to the memory
of Stephen r. Mallory to be placed
in Statuary Hall in the National Capt.
tol, and it gives us pleasure to know
that the measure has received favora-
BILE report.
As a senator in the Congress of
the United States, as secretary of the
navy of the Confederacy, as a lawyer,
as a citizen, and as man, Mr. Nal
Iory lived a life which shed lustre
upon his state, and which is we'll
worthy the emulation of her children.
Stephen Mallory was a gentleman
of the old South" of unblemished
character. He served his state faith
fully and well, especially as her repre-
sentative in the ante-bellum national
senate, in which body his knowledge
of maritime matters placed him at the
head of the committee on naval af
fairs. With loyalty to his state. when
she seeded he resigned his sena-
torial seat. and upon the formation
of the Confederate States was made
secretary of the navy, and was the
only cabinet officer who held the same
position throughout the existence Of
IldL government his dDlIlIieS. uIlucT
his great chief were most wonderfully
displayed. Without a shin at the or
ganiZation of the Corfederacy, with
but few and imperfect factories and
appliances, he constructed vessels
which revolutiOnized naval warfare.
and commissioned ships which drove
the enemy's commerce from the high
seas. The fortunes of war retired him
to private life, and he died honored
and respected not only by the people
of Florida, hut by the entire South.
Yes, by all means give him place
among the noblest OF our great men,
for he was one Of them. and easily
the peer of any. Let not the apDro-
priation be stinted. but make If sufici
ent for his statue 10 honor the best
in the galaxy of bright, particular
stars.
We clip from the Pensacola Jour
nal in support of the measure which
thus seeks to honor the memory Of
this truly loyal and brilliant South
erner.
