Clark Of Florida to Restore It.

A chunk of 6SOOO.O0O in real money will
be divided among various states-most OF
them southern-if the bill introduced in
the House by Representative Clark OF
Florida becomes a law. 1t provides for
the restoration of the amount named as
illegal cotton tax collected by the gov
eminent between 1862 and 1868. Mr.. Clark
also introduced a resolution calling on the
Secretary of the Treasury for a detailed
report on the whole matter. showing from
what states and from what individuals
the tax was collected.
THAT tax of from one-half to three
cents a pound on cotton has been declared
illegal by the. Supreme Court of the United
States," said Mr.. Clark to a Star reporter
today. THAT being so, the government
should refund it. Now that there Is no
longer any discord or sectional feeling be-
tween the north. and the south there
should. be no opposition to the restoration
of this sum to those who were comp elled
to pay It or to their heirs
Mr., Clark has prepared an elaborate
brief in support of his bill which he in
tends to; read upon the floor, some day
when the Speaker is willing Despite the
fact that number of other bills directed
to the same end have failed in the past,
Mr.. Clark thinks we'll of his brief and his
bill, and expects to see the money paid
out pretty soon. Mr.. Clark Is rapidly
achieving something Of a reputation as an
