bic Of being sustained. the action of
the governor is much to be commend

It is a gratifying commentary on the
state Of public sentiment in Florida
that the people are more than ever
insistent that applicants for official pO-
sitiOns shall measure up TO a high
standard Of morality and sObriety. Of
course, it's tough on the good, clever
fellow who is called down merely for
taking "a social drink" or playing "a
social game" and we all sympathize
with him. but such men are not calcu-
lated to uphold the dignity OF the law.

OUR GREAT BIG NAVY

what different from most of its con-
temporaries in that it is opposed to
all forms of hypocrisy and refuses
Janus-like-tO pretend that it is look
ing one way when it is really looking
some other way. In other words, it
refuses to subscribe to the maxim:

A WORD AS TO OUR MUNICIPAL
ITY

One of the best of our exchanges is
the California Citrograph. It's columns
always contain something attractive
and interesting. The last number
gives a synopsis of a speech made be-
fore the San Bernardino board of
trade by one of its citizens, Senator
e c. Seymour
The senator went on to say a great
many very complimentary things
about the beauties, resources and at
Effectiveness of that city. He said that
it had many surprising advantages. a
fine water supply and fire department
! fine schools, a splendid library, ele-
CANT stores, enterprising merchants
and abundant wealth
This gentleman said that not long

town of Riverside. That be CHANGED
to ask a certain resident how much
taxes he paid on his home One hun
dred and seven dollars he was told
Then he selected a home in San Ber-
nardinO about the same size, style and
finish and he asked the owner how
much taxes he paid on his home. His
answer was forty-eight dollars.
Senator Seymour said that he had
not driven two blocks from the mans
home in Riverside before be knew
from the condition of the streets that
the Riverside mans taxes were the
cheapest. Why? Because he gets val
ue received for his money. He gets
sidewalks and vitrified brick pave
ments.
Without quibbling words this
speaker told the audience assembled
around a banQuetting board that the
people of San Bernardino pay their
taxes and get nothing in return for
them. Quoting his language. he spoke
as follows:
You spend your time in petty bick-
erings and squabblings You have a
bad case of apathy. You are not ag-
gressive. You are divided: you are
jealous of each other, and so much
afraid that somebody will get a little
political advantage that you absolute

ruts That's what's the matter with
you. These are plain words. but who
can gainsay the truth of them?"
People rarely complain of high tax
es if they see that they get value re-
ceived. 1t is when they feel that the
money is misspent that bickerigns and
discomfort prevail. The most cheer
full tax this writer ever paid was the
two hundred and sixty dollar tax he
paid for the cement sidewalk and the
vitrifed brick pavement in front of
