It would require over two years for
the additional five mill tax to pay for
the loss the county would sustain, not
counting the interest, by such a
move. Are you willing to vote such
a debt on the county? / ask these
questions in all candOr, and that the
tax payers may look at this matter
calmly and without any prejudice for
or against any particular locality,
and feel that with calm and dis
passionate consideration of the facts
the people of Brevard county will not
permit themselves and the county to
be involved in any such complications
and are unwilling to assume such a
debt as the removal of the county
site would involve, as we'll as the adj
ditional taxation. Our present rate
of taxation is high enough in all con-
science.
Fellow Tax Payers, our county is
now in prosperous circumstances and
we have been able to carry on some
Improvements throughout the county
but if by your vote you change the
county site it will take years to get
back to where we stand today. Then
why should we make any change?
Why would change of only nineteen
miles nearer the geographical center
of the county be of such benefit to
the county? Is itnot better to suffer
the evils we have than to fly to those
we know nothing of.
The present election will cost the
county $500, the perfect repair of the
Jail, making it a fire proof building,
will cost 81, 900-In my humble opin-
ion a heavy enough debt for our
county to shoulder.
The matter is now in your hands
and | trust and believe there are
enough disinterested and Thoughtful
tax payers and registered voters in
Brevard county to prevent the i'm
posing of a heavy debt on the county
and a consequent increase in our tax
alton. Respectfully,
B. r. WILSON.

Special Session Talk

Some who are very close To Gov.
n. b. BrOward. in Tallahassee and
Jacksonville, claim that he will wait
until November Bird. when the new
legislature is elected. and then i'm
mediately call an extra session.
These friends say that the legislature
to be elected in November is more in
harmony with the governor and that
he will have thereby less trouble to
get his pet schemes through, says the
Jacksonville Metropolis.
There is serious question as to
whether the new legislature will be
a legal body before January next.
The constitution Of the state in ar
ticle 5, section ,. however. says:
The regular sessions Of the legiSla-
ture shall be held bi-ennialy. COM
mencing on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in APRIL A. d., 1887,
and on the corresponding day of
every second year thereafter; but the
governor may convene the same in
extra session by his proclamation.
Regular sessions of the legislature
may extend to sixty days, but no
special session convened by the gov
ernOr shall exceed twenty days"
In the yellow fever epidemic of 1888
there was a great demand for an ex-
ira session Of the Legislature in order
to pass a state board of health bill.
Governor Perry was the chief execu-
tive at that time, but Governor File
ming had just been elected, as was
also a new Legislature. Governor
Perry doubted the wisdom of calling
the old body in session, and there

Important Ruling

The announcement made Monday
by the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington that it would con-
slider the reasonablenesS of rates af-
ter notice of increase by shippers and
prior to their filing protests, is re-
garded as being of widespread i'm
pOrtance.
This following closely upon action
of Cincinnati shippers in appealing to
the president to induce the commis-
sion to take this course is generally
believed that the suggestion calling
forth the statement came from Roose-
welt.
There is much interest in the action
Of Judge Speer granting a prelimi-
nary injunction restraining the south
ern roads from putting into effect in
creased rates on shipments Of western
produce to southern states. Similar
action was taken by Judge Speer in
1903, when the commissions conten-
ton was sustained for lower rates.

Estimated and Actual Losses

There is no extended reply neces,
sary to the article in the Cocoa News
of yesterday. Estimates of the loss
to the Jail were grossly over esti-
mated by everyone and the real facts
were not obtained until the building
had thoroughly cooled off and the
cells were examined and found intact
which at first were thought runined.
Estimated and actual losses are al
ways at variance. We believe the
loss was published in the Times-UniOn
at several thousand dollars more than
the local press gave out.
THE STAR has never made an esti-
mate of the remainder of the county
buildings placing them at $50, 800.
That estimate was made by Mr.. Deck
er.
We can give several very good rea-
sons why the Indian River hotel prop
erty was sold cheap, but this has no
bearing on the question at issue. and
our personal regard for Mr.. Taylor
leads us to withhold these reasons.
The Florida star. (Titusville, Fla.) 1880-1917, 1908-07-31

The baldest statement made in
their address by the five prominent
citizens and business men of Cocoa to
the people Of the county is that para
graph referring to the Jail wherein
they say that "the Jail is virtually a
total ruin" 1t is not necessary for
us to question further the falsity of
this statement as too many of the cit
liens of our county have already been
here and made an investigation on
their own account and found out that
the walls, the cells, the cement floor,
are intact. Even the creeping ivy on
the big north wall is not killed.
Those who have not seen with their
own eyes can take the statements
made in these columns this week over
the signatures of such men as DIR.
B. r. Wilson, county Judge, and Mr..
L. R. Decker, a contractor of two or
more score years of experience in
contracting and building.

An Old Pioneer Surprise Party

Last Friday night in honor of Uncle
Toms birthday, just as we had finished
supper there came rap at the door
and upon opening it there filed in quite
crowd of the old pioneers and their de-
scendants. On seeing such crowd !
was led to exclaim like the Dutchman
whose wife had presented him with trip
lets) Mine COdt, did any of them get
avay?". They came with baskets, with
babies, and some with freezers and Hen
~ Garlic brought up the rear with a
cake Of ice, Then all hands went to
work, some to piling the good things on
the table and some to making ice cream;
while some Of the older ones, after
lighting their pipes, sat in corner to
spin yarns of olden times in the late COS
and early 7O's. How we used to meet
every Saturday at ''sun up" at the old
blacksmith shop on the Garlic hill for
our weekly hunt for venison for the next
weeks supply; and how well We remem-
Der the last time we went on hunt to-
gether, when we did not 90 two miles
from the shop, back by O'Clock with
IA deer. After that hunt edivided off
and hunted by 2's; and one told about
the time in the late COS how a panther
got after John Harrison's hogs; that he
got old man Reddick and his dogs to
hunt the panther which was in the
night, but the dogs soon ''treed" the
panther in a little thicket, and how Red
dick was on one side and Harrison on
the other with torch, and that before
Reddick could get bead" on the pan
ther it gave spring and landed right
on Reddick's dogs, gun and all; and how
Harrison, in his haste to the rescue,
stumbled and fell, and out went the
light, and off went the panther, to the
JOY and satisfaction of all. With many
of such yarns it made US "old dodgers"
feel like living them over again. Then
all hands were called to the dining room,
and such a sight of cream and cake.
But in about half an hour the crowd
made four gallons of cream look like 80
cents. After all had been filled there
were II baskets full of cake left that
had never been touched.
There were just two regrets: One
was Aunt Emma tried to catch the old
rooster, but he got away. Second re-
gretwas Uncle Tom was sorry she did not
catch the rooster. for that meant chick
en- pie. that Aunt Emma is foremost in
making. Never mind. some day she will
get veXed at that rooster and knock his
head off. then know she will call Uncle

was grave doubt as to whether ne
could legally call the new one to-
gether as some lawyers contended
that the term of Office did not begin
until the January following.
1t was finally decided to wait until
Governor Fleming was inaugurated
and he called the legislature in spec
ial session.
Should Governor Broward call the
new legislature in special session the
matter would have to be settled by
the courts and all of its work tied up
until the question was determined.
Governor Broward, by any such
action, would show that he is a poll
tician pure and simple, and in utter
disregard of the best interests of the
state he would scheme in this way to
pass some of his pet measures.
The people of Florida do not want
any extra session, and that they do
not subscribe to BrOward's policies
has been settled at the polls.
