John Collins OF the Tallahassee
True Democrat, is now directing the
full fire of his batteries against the
high rate of taxation" which he says
is becoming more and more unen-
durable" and Is, of course, chargeable
to that fellow Broward and his legis-
lature which he owned, body and soul,
dear old chestnut it is, and how we
all revere it for its venerable age, its
flowing white whiskers, it's helpless
senility and other evidences of its
long and arduoss career in the pub
lie service. We mean this monoto-
GUS talk from generation to genera
ton about crushing the poor, dear
people under the cruel weight of eX-
cessive taxation. Many a time and
oft have We seen the noble and pa
triotic gent who paid about one dol
lar and six bits per management
~ less-to support the government
that protected him in his right to
life. liberty and property, take the
village street and denounce the
despotism and tyranny of those who
imposed the taxes upon the helpless
wights who had them to pay. We
listened and believed, but it got mo-
notonous in the course of years, and
finally we realized the great truth
that such talk was humbug pure and
simple and there was nothing in it.
Taxes in Florida are not excessive:
on the contrary, they are very light
as compared with many other states
and there is no just cause for COM
plant We must pay for the bene-
fits of government and We must pay
in proportion TO the material inter
ests We have at stake. That is ali
we are doing here, and the people
who pay the largest taxes do the least
complaining. Florida is all right and
so is her state government. The
people who kick about what they call
excessive taxation are merely the
peewees. There's a new application
of the word, John, which we hand
over to you without charge.

First American Thanksgiving

In 1921, so historians say, was held
the first American Thanksgiving ceIe-
bration. That was when. the party of
colonists having been decimated by
death and menaced by innumerable
perils, Governor Bradford called the
survivors together for the expression
of gratitude to God. In that festival,
which has been much written of, the
red men participated, and there was
feasting on wild turkeys and 'fowles."
