he'll let that special session alone -.
Bronson Times Democrat.
Perhaps the Governor wants an extra
session to investigate the Investigators.
Might not the Governors extra session
outgovern the Governor? Extra SEES.
siOng, like all other extra Injuries, come
high. What's the difference, whether
tao State goes broke for the need of an
extra session or because of an extra

II the Governor calls an extra session
Of the Legislature he will have, in do
ing 30, the wishes of very few of the
people Of Florida. II means an add.
ton Of $4,000 upon the taxpayers of
the State, and this, In view OF the al
ready heavy taxation under the Brow
ard administration, the people cannot
stand. Then the Governor has not a
single assurance that the special ses-
sion will even consider seriously the
measures he wishes enacted into law. --.

There is not likely to be anything in
the report OF the Internal Improvement
Fund Investigating Commission TO re-
quire immediate legislative action.
Most OF the matters for which special
appropriations were made can very
well stand over" and IL funds cannot

an extra session, Governor. Get those

There In one thing, however, we most
assuredly do know. and that Is that the
suffering people Of the State would
have 10 paw the expenses of the meet
ing, and this they are by no means In
the humor Of doing. Neither are their
pockets so beautifully overlooking with
the coin of the realm as TO tempt them
TO pay out q large sum OF money to
satisfy the cAprices or the political de-
signs Of any of the multitudinOus
"atRtesmen" who are ever on the out
look for n chance TO "play TO the gal
leries" and join the applause of the ex-
citable or the foolish. The State tax Is
large enough, in all conscience. This is
no time TO Increase H. Not one Of the
various and Bpecious pretexts advanced
for the calling Of an extra session Is
based on the solid foundation of true

Tho extra session scare seems 20 be
dying out. The Governor told the ed.
tor OF the Fort Pierce News that he
would not call an extra session, ''un.
less some great good could be accom-
plished"--and we doubt that any great
good could come out Of that Legislative
bunch. Lakeland News.
Broward will have the extra session, |

20 get the church and temperance peo-
pie 20 petition him 10 call an extra SEES
sion and he will do II. This plan is only |
conhded 20 his very close henchmen IN |
the various counties, but the word will |
be passed around and we viii have the |
session. --Eade City Star.
