new enterprises of every nature are
springing up all over the State, and the
busy hum of industry goes on in every
section. The spirit of progress is not
confined to any one portion of the State
it is Statewide and State.long
''The cause of all this is attributable
in measure to the influence of the
natural growth of the country at large,
but it is due mainly to the superior ad-
vantages which Florida holds out, and
which is causing new settlers to begin
to rush into the State by thousands.
Almost countless numbers in the north
and west have had the wonders of Flor
ida revealed to them, and they are
coming to take advantage of them.
LAS the population of the United
States increase and the communities Of
the north become denser, the necessity
for engaging in agriculture seems to
impel thousands to leave the cities and
go to the farms, where life is easier
New England, nor even the great west
seems to satisfy these people. Nor
are the experienced farmers of those
sections satisfied with their surround
ings. They are seeking to better
themselves.

Editor TRIBUNE:
Enclosed find letter from Judge Min.
or S. Jones, which expresses his views
on the question of my being eligible to
hold the position of Bond Trustee with
out resigning my present position of
Representative. | ask to have this
published. as / consider his opinion of
greater value than the opinion of those
who are trying to play politics and be-
fuddle the minds of the voters. I will
say however, that ! intend to resign
my position of Representative if bonds
carry and | am elected, but l want
some, who are making themselves un-
duly officious, to see that opinions
worth considering do not correspond
with their own. think the voters will
consider Judge Jones opinion on a
constitutional question as sufficient.
Respectfully, W. r. HARDEE

Hon. w. R. Hardee, Jensen, Fla:
Dear Sir-Your letter followed me to
DeLand and then back here.
There can be no question about your
being qualified to fill the place of bond
trustee. 1t is not such an Office as
works a disqualification under the con.
sttutiOn.
Besides this, | am sure, If bonds were
issued, that you would see the funds
economically and properly spent and
this is point of great concern.
Yours truly, MINOR S. JONES.

WITTPENN SPEAKS ON
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.
Jersey City's Mayor Addresses
Voters of His Ward,

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 22.-In a down
of rain Mayor Wittpenn, in his
fight for reelection spoke last night to
about 1000 persons. including many
women, from a truck at the corner OF
Communipaw and Pacific avenues in
his home ward. This is his birthday
anniversary, and the best tribute his
neighbors gave him was their presence
at the meeting under disagreeable cir
cumstances. Every reference to his
acts as Mayor during the past two
years was greeted with applause.
He opened his speech by calling at
tention to the fact that he had de-
stroyed the Martin act commission
that had been revived. under the adj
m~inistration of former Mayor Mark NJ.
Pagan, and that had caused the city
to lose thousands of dollars in the adj
justment of taxes. He pointed with
pride to the first year of his admins
~tration, during which time the running
expenses of the city were $40, 900 less
h they were under the first year OF
Fagan's administration The low tax
rate under Fagan's administration, he
explained, was struck in anticipation
of making the railroads pay taxes on q
valuation of $4,000, 900, when during
the year previous the state Tax Board
had reduced a valuation of $4T ,000. 900 tc
1874, 1000 900. He declared he wanted IL
understood hat he did not say at any
time thai the railroad property in DER
sey City was well valued at s25, 000, 600

PREDICT $4,000
DEFICIT IN REPORT
or COMPTROLLER
Figures Show That Expected
Balance of Sl,00O,0 900 Has
Been Made Impossible.

TRENTON. Oct. 22.-The forthcom'
ing report of the State comptroiiei
must show a deficit in spite of the pre-
diction from that office that there
would be a money balance oil $l'VV"'oVo'
The intimation that everything Is no.
as rosy as It was painted comes IRON
an examination of the comptroller re-
port for the fiscal year ending OCTOBER
81, 1908, and the figures which were
given Out In predicting a free money
balance at the nd of the current fsca'
year.
The estimate of the years resources
was underestimate $200,000 not
counting the collateral Inheritance tax
and other such sources of income Inc
collateral inheritance taxes for the cur
rent year will show an income OF more
than $500, 900, possibly a round soi5,ooV'
more than 5000, goo ahead OF last year.
The Legislature, under h direction OF
Governor Fort, took away from the
public schools SS4s,000 Of railroad taxes
that had been collected and apportioned
to the school districts. In round num-
here, therefore, we have $S5O,000 more
for state uses than was counted on by
the Comptroller.
In his last annual report the state
Comptroller shows that the Legislature
of 1908 for the fiscal year that is now
drawing to a close appropriated S4,Soo'-
10000. The Comptroller estimated that
the receipts for the year would DE
s574, $780, 4 less than the income, a cold
biooded prediction of a deficit OF more
than a half million. of dollars, IN spite
of hi statement issued just before cleo
ton the previous year that the state
had a balance in it's treasury of S2,2lo,-
900, to which was to be added the col
ossal sun Of more than $4,000, 900 IN re-
ceipts.
With a deficit of $574.00 promised by
the states chief financial official, the
1909 Legislature was told by Governor
Fort that emergency legislation was
necessary to save the State from a def
icit. Finances were discussed through
out the session and, among other things,
school money was diverted to meet the
situation.
But at the same time the Legislature,
according to custom, passed a supple
mental appropriation bill that called
for taking a total of 1922, T66.15 out OF
the funds received during the current
fiscal year. And that 20 the Comp
troller's predicted deficit, n 1t reaches
the total of 1897, 900, the difference be-
tween the estimated and the
actual obligations of the State. To
cover the deficit, or impending deficit,
the State Comptroller accounts for but
$3.50, 900 more than his estimate of re-
sources, making the net prospective
deficit approximately $4,000.
Perhaps the Legislatures enactinents
in regard to the automobile license re-
ceipts will prevent an actual deficit.
| but no one regards very seriously the.
sanguine talk of a million dollar bal
ance.
