WANTS TAXES SEPARATED.
The complainant prays that the tax
collectors be enjoined and restrained
from advertising or selling petitioners
land or other property for the purpose
of enforcing payment Of state and
county taxes thereon In the respective
counties unless and until the said re-
spective tax collectors shall severally
file their answers in this suit, consent
ing to receive the payment Of said state
and county taxes without payment at
same time Of the said acreage tax 8
cents per acre, levied and impose as
set forth in the bill.
In the bill filed by the Florida East
Coast Railway Company e is aot forth
that the petitioner owns 80, 81 acres of
land In Dado county. within the drain
aQe district, and other allegations and
gors FOR relief are similar in nearly
every respect with those in the bill OF
the Model Land Company.
WHAT COMPLAINANT SEEKS.
Taking one bill as a sample Of all it
is shown that the cOmplainants pray the
court 20 find and declare drainage act,
laws Of Florida, TO be in violation Of
the constitutions Of the United States
and Of the state Of Florida, and TO be
therefore, null, void and without effect.
To declare the minutes, proceedings
and acts Of the board Of drainage com
missioners, in the levying of an acreage
tax of cents per acre TO be illegal,
null and void
To declare the attempted assessment
in Dade, DeSotO and Lee counties is
void, and constitutes q cloud upon the
title of the lands Of the petitioners, up
on which the tax WIS levied.
To declare that the attempted levy Of
the board of drainage commissioners
affords no legal justification or author
ity for the defendant tax collectors Of
the said counties to collect the acreage
tax, or to enforce the same by levy,
sale, etc.
PRAYER FOR INJUNCTION.
The prayer for injunction, both pen
dente lite and permanent, asks the
court TO issue its orders restraining the
board of drainage commissioners from
assessing or levying the tax, to which
objection is made, on the lands Of the
complaining company.
To enjoin the tax collectors Of Dade,
DeSoto and Lee counties from collect
ing or attempting TO collect the acreage
tax.
To enjOin the same tax collectors
from levying upon and selling the lands
of the complainant in enforcing the
levy of the special acreage tax.
The bill closes with the prayer for
the writ Of subpoena, commanding the
defendants to appear and answer the
bill Of the complainant, etc. Times

The first annual report OF the min
eral production OF the Philippine
islands is now published by the chief
OF the division of geology and mines
al Manila, the bulletin just issued
covering the year 1907. In view OF the
fact that over ten years has passed
since our government quietly sent its
first mining expert TO the islands TO
explore their mineral resources and
the archipelago was taken from Spain
partly on the assumption that IL
would prove a fine asset in mineral
wealth, the statistics pf mineral pro-
duction last year seem melancholy
reading
Statistics are always dull To some
people. but these statistics must pro-
duce acute pains in the heads of our
most enthusiastic expansionists. What
do we find. Last year the Philippines
yielded 4,545 short tons OF very infer
Tor coal which is much below the
competing Australian coal in quality:
436 short tons OF iron, 37S pounds of
gold and SO ounces of silver.
We would direct attention especial
ly to the prodigious production OF the
precious metals. The gold and silver
yield OF the Philippines staggers the
imagination. What a bonanza we have

Taft's Tariff Views Unsatisfac-
tory; Sherman a Standpatter.

Although the activities Of the pres
ent administration in other directions
have no doubt had much To do with
making the tariff secondary issue
in the present campaign, and although
the confidence OF the public Is so
much greater in Mr. Taft than in Mr.
Bryan that the latter is not likely TO
gain much by raising that Issue. the
question OF revision can not be ne
elected By the next administration. II

on the tariff are by no means salts

the right direction. No such hope

polled over 100000 votes and this year
he, is again the nominee.
The prediction OF increased strength
in the national Prohibition movement
this year is based on the remarkable
gains that local prohibition has made
in q large number Of states. At the
beginning OF the year there were six
Prohibition states in the union. Maine,
Georgia, North Dakota, Kansas, Okla
homa and Alabama. In all but eight
states some form of local option has
prevailed, and in nearly all these local
option states the dry" territory has
been steadily increasing in the past
10 years
lin a large number OF southern and
western states the prohibition move
ment has had extraordinary activity
and success in recent years. and some
OF these states are practically dry.

movement found It's first organized
