Now, there remains the general
tax, which is now 2 mills; but, as
| have stated, will have TO be in
creased. Suppose we take the

few years We still have a few
mills to spare over and above what
we now arc compelled to pay. So
that | conclude that, in spite of
hard times, with no immediote
prospect Of any great prosperity

to take up the issue of County

CHEAP BEEF PROBLEM.

do citizens wishing TO purchase
meat this week will be thunder
struck to learn that the price on
Western meat has doubled. There
are many reasons for this, and the
newspapers are full of statements
from the large firms controlling
this industry giving statements OF
the case.
We care not why meat has
taken such u jump. We only
know that at the prevailing prices
many poor people in the cities will
be denied the privilege of eating
meat. And now is the time for
the Florida farmers to come for
ward with their own fat cattle and
put the Chicago and other West
ern firms out of the Florida bust
ness forever.
Florida cattle fattened on velvet
beans ut Il small cost are the best
beef cattle in the United States,
and yet we cannot get this meat,
because few farmers care TO incur
the extra labor Of feeding the cat
tic in a stable.
Velvet beans can be grown on
any land and, when plowed under,
make a fine fertilizer and in many
ways it is a most prolific plant and
yields large returns to the farmer.
Besides the velvet bean, there are
a number Of good forage plants
grown here, and with very little
work and expense, Florida could
raise cattle within her own Dor.

YOU CAN'T VOTE, UNLESS
Your Poll Taxes Are Paid
These Whhe Must Pay.

No one who is liable to pay a
poll tax will be permitted to vote
IN the coming primaries, unless
the tax has been paid. Some vot-
ers will have to pay for two years,
some for one year, and Others will
not have to pay any at all. On
this subject, the tax collector of
Duval county furnishes the Times
Union with al necessary informa-
ton, which is applicable to every
county in the State. In place Of
Duval in his synopsis of the laws,
put the name Of your own county
(DeSoto, for instance), and you
will readily understand whether
you owe u poll tax or not. The
following is his synopsis as print
ed in the Times-Union:
Such electors who became 50
years of aye prior to January i,
1906, are moi liable to poll taxes.
Such electors us became 30
years of aye after January 1,1906,
and prior to January |, 1907, owe
81 poll tax, for the year 1906.
Such electors as became So
years Of age after January ],
1907, owe poll taxes for 1906 and
1907, a total of 81.
Such electors qualifying for the
coming election on age, who
reached their majority (2l years.
after January l, 1907, are non
tables, and should secure a nom
tables certificate from Supervisor
~ In when they register for the
|tRlprimary.
Such electors as became 81
years old after January /, 1906,
owe only 81, for the year 1907.
II there are any who came OF
age prior TO January /, 1906, but
who are just registering, they owe
-, 81 for each Of The years 1906
and 1907.
The other ella ss Of electors get
ting in line comprise those who
have just acquired a residence in
the county and the state, namely,
who have resided in The county six
months and in the State one year.
These may be divided into two
classes. In the first are those
who came to Duval county from
other counties of Florida, and
having met the state requirement
of one years residence have also
met now the requirement of six
months residence in the county.
In the other class are those who

Those who moved to Duval

acres of land just out of town on

sought; and, IL it was possible to
be relieved of the burdensome
taxes which we are compelled 10
pay, there would be some reason
why we might forego division.
All, there is the rub. We are now
paying the limit Of the law for all
county funds except General Rev
enue, and that will have to DO
raised next July, as that fund, by
reason of "well paying OUT more
than coming in,is short; so that by
living in a great county, we have
the prospect Of increased taxes,
which is as sure to come as that
the sun rises in the east and sets in
the west.
For some months, | have made
study Of the County Treasurcr's
and the Auditors report, and ]
state it boldly that the present
Board of County Commissioners
will have to do some good work TO
keep the county out of debt; and
as stated, they will have to in
crease the general tax. | believe
it is entirely practical to organize
and build up new county with
less taxes and same rate of valua-
ton as now, though, to be sure, the
increased benefit derived by hav.
ing a county seat near at hand
would Of itself be justification for
any increase that there might be
for few years; at least, there
would be something to show for
what was paid.
For the purpose of showing
that I am not joking, will take, for
instance, the road tax of mills

that, IL DeSoto County should re-

fortunate if We. get off by paying
z mills road taxes. Now, speak
ing for South DeSoto, it wonld
be practical to keep up the Roads
and The Bridges within the terri
tory with a 3-mill tax. indeed, by
utilizing the County Prisoners,
they can be made to almost en-
tirely keep up the roads, and, with
a small tax of say mill to pay

now. AT any rate, we can save 4

is enough to state that we get
back about half of the taxes

would save at least 8 mills, which
will help pay for roads.
In Court costs we pay 2 mills;
and by reason of short mileage, it
is safe to figure a saving. As it
