Some people have queer IDEAS
the conduct Of q
newspaper. Actually there are
some folks who seem to think
that Communications intended
for publication are public pro-
perty even before they are print
ed. To all entertaining such
ideas we want to state with all
the emphasis of which we are
capable that communications
filed in this Office for publIca-
tion-whether Of a general
nature or advertising -are as
sacred as a bank account and
will not be given to the public
until they are printed in the
paper for general distribution.

viii history repeat itself this

the next national election will
be a democratic victory. Look
back at the record of past
panics, and you win note that
the party in power at the time
of great financial crisis has
always been punished in the
next election. The panic Of
1897 beat VanBuren and brought
in "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too
in 1870. The panic of 1852 kill
ed the Buchanan administration
and paved the way for Lincoln.
The panic Of 1873 gave the
democrats the next three con

panic Of 1898 crippled the
democracy and put Mckinley

One of the penalties Of being
rich and prosperous is heavy
taxation. Notwithstanding it
does seem passing strange to Us.
that as our own beloved Florida
grows richer and more prosper.
Gus and valuations increase
each year, the rate Of taxation
should increase along with it.
A slight Investigation along
these lines will convince the
most skeptical that taxes are
about as high as during recon
struction days while taxable
values have increased amazing
ly. Where is the remedy? We
think we know it but we are go.
