ernor forgetS that Florida is grow
ing State; that its population is not
One-tenth of what it should be; that
most of its cities are small, and that
the development of the State and the
cities depends upon the construction
of public improvements under fran
chises- To place a tax on these fran
ehises, as conditions now are, will
simply be prOhibitiye and prevent
the investment of capital in concerns
which cannot possibly earn interest
on the money invested unless they
are granted the most liberal terms.
1t is all well enough for large cities
like New, York, Chicago or Philadel-
phia, with their enormous use OF
public utilities, to exact such a fay.
but it is sheer nonsense to apply the
same rule to Florida's small munich
pallties; in fact, it would simnIv
mean a quietus to their growth and
prosperity.-Tampa Tribune.

be that many of his constituents will

GOVERNOR .BROWARD'S MES
- SAGE TO LEGISLATURE.

| SdUE HI
Governor Rroward's message tc;the
Legislature, which was read TOT hat
body yesterday afternoon and a
synopsis of which is published in the
Journal today, is strong and virile
document. and, for the most part,
just what might be expected from a
man of Governors type and ctarac-
tel. -.
The chief features of the message
are its treatment of the subjects of
railroad legislation, good roads, a
franchise tax, immigration, state life
insurance, the race problem, and the
right of the public to correct infor-
nation as furnished by the newspa-
perS. .-...-
In the matter of railroad legisla-.
ton, Governor Broward favors en-
larging the powers of the railroad
commission, making that body con-
stitutional branch of the state gov
eminent, giving the commission pow
er to make an inspection of the ply
steal condition of the roads, and to
enforce demurrage payments for de-
layed freight, law limiting the
hours of labor of railroad employees
and to otherwise safeguard the lives
and persons of both passengers and
employees. He also recommends
that express companies. telephone
and telegraph companies be placed
under the jurisdiction of the railroad
@
He advocates bonding the state for
the building of good roads, the estab-
fishing OF state department of i'm
with a proper appropria-
ton to make its work effective. the
enactlng of a law providing for a |
tax on franchises. and for a rigid law
making it misdemeanor for a news
paper TO knowingly publish an untrue
article which tends to destroy the
confidence of the people in any can
tidate or public officer.
In all these things Governor
BroWard voices the sentiment, We be-
leve, OF the vast majority of the
people of this state and the legisla-
ure will be carrying out the wishes
II that majority by enacting Iegisla-
ion in accordance with the govern
RS recommendations.
The matter of state life insurance
S something which. while attractive !
n theory. is probably a little in adj
7ance of public sentiment, though a {
tudy of that question will be a very
'ood thing for the entire public at
his time, and later it may be advis-
BILE to adopt the plan.
