The president said there We're a great
many things about thesb bill that he was
delighted to have had a part in, ana
that he would be equally delighted to
sign and defend the measure in It's mn
ished state. L
President Taft made 1t plain that he
was invited into the conference before
he attempted to give advice which
finally brought about settlement OF.

inviting the views of the president the
conferees went SO far as to take votes

Without attempting to go into the.
details of the, schedules recently IN con-

F that in a great many ways the new

The president pointed out as great
forward steps the enactment OF the.

AS to the corporation tax, 1t Is said
the president let 1t plainly be known
that while he was much in favor of
such a tax, he was not SO wrapped up
in it that he was willing to sacrifice
real downward revision Just to have IT
adopted as a part of the tariff bin.
While the corporation tax was adopted
as in the nature of a substitute for the
income tax, the president declared to-
day that the end attained in submit

an amendment to the Constitution per-
hitting the enactment of an income tax

NEWS NOTES
Items of Interest Gathered
at the Capital of
Florida.

Tallahassee. Fla, April 27.-Gover-
nor Glichrist has received the fol
lowing communication relative to a
matter OF great Importance to the far
mers, fruit and truck growers of Flor
IDA, and has transmitted a copy there
OF to each of the Florida senators
and representatives in congress:
University of the State of Florida and
Experiment Station, Gainesville,
Fla, April %, 1909.
His EXcellency, Hon. Albert w. Gil
christ, Governor.
Honorable Sir: Sometime ago in
your message, you called attention to
the fact that congress was about to
put a tariff on potash salts imported
from Germany. This matter should
receive very earnest and energetic at
tentlon from our congressman and SEN
ators, as 1t is a very serious thing for
Florida.
/ wish to present to you the follow
ing facts, which cannot be disputed.
II is a very serious matter, since
it will bear heaviest on the country
boy, the country girl, and heavier still
upon the wife of the farmer.
trust you may find it possible to
present this matter to our senators
and congressman in such a way that
my III AudhS d SlIOllS uSuI lOI us
when the tariff bill goes to confer
ence. It has passed the house and
practically passed the senate.
[ have before me a copy Of the
Payne bill, and as / understand it,
this Payne bin proposes to put potash
salts which are used for fertilizer
purposes, on the retaliatory basis. As
this salt is all mined in Germany,
and as Germany does not belong to the
most favored nation" the Payne bill
would put a reta1iatory duty of 20
per cent. ad vaIOrem on potash salts.
According to the state chemists
report for the year ending December
81, 1908, ne sold inspection stamps
to cover 49,, 223.72 tons Of CONNER
cial fertilizers. (see report for 1908,
page 81 The average composition,
taking the 127 samples anayized, of
complete fertilizers, we have the aver
age fertilizer to run 7.0S per cent. pot
ash (see page 81. According to this
same authority, (see page 23) unit of
potash costs $1.10 at seaboard Null
tiply the average percent of potash
by the cost per unit at seaboard, we
have $7,78S as the average cost or
potash in a ton Of fertilizer at sea
board. Twenty per cent. of the cost
of potash will give us $1-5596 as the
proposed TAX per ton, II this tdrln
schedule passes. Multiplying this by
the number of tons of fertilizer used,
as shown by the chemists report, we
have toatl of 1907, 5O9.26.
The last federal census shows that
we have in round numbers, about
10000 farmers and fruit growers in
the state. This would make an aver
age tax of a little more than SIS per
farm in Florida, which is approximate
Iy twice the amount paid for all educa-
tional purposes. From this you will
see how heavy a provision would fall
upon our. agricultural communities.
/ have written this out in detail, that |
you may be able to anaylze 1t and use |
the figures in such a way as will |
be most effective.
Very respectfully,
CSigned.) P. H. ROLLS,
Director.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1909-04-29

Governor Hoke Smith has notified
| the treasury of the state that the
money collected the first quarter or
this year from the convict hire can
be distributed to the counties of the
state at that time not taking con-
victs.
He finds ample funds have been
raised from the tax on substitutes for
liquor, commonly called near-beer, to
meet all the necessary expenses OF
the penitentiary department without
using any of the money coming from
the hire of the convicts.
We cannot refrain from congratu-
lating the governor upon this condi-
ton of the treasury. At the regular
session of the legislature last sum-
mer the house passed a bill which
would have perpetUated the lease Of
the cOnVictS. The governor made no
secret OF the fact that he would veto
the bill if it passed the senate.
1t was in the closing hours of the
legislature, and Governor Smith sent
two messages to the senate, declar-
Ping his willingness to call an extra
session for the purpose of handling
the convict question, and urging the
senators to pass unfinished business
which was before them, leaving the
convict bill for an extra session.
When the governor Sent these mes
sages to the legislature he was at
tackled on all sides by ring politi-
clans, lessees of the conyicts, and the
old crowd which has fought him so
continuously.
The cost of the extra session was
prated about and financial trouble in
consequence was threatened
Governor Smith never backed an
10 inc
sion. and what has been the result?
The extra session of the legislature
mas given the state a splendid juve-
nile court bill. It has given the state
the parole bill. 1t has broken up the
lease. and placed the convicts upon
the public roads, where the people of
Georgia will get the benefit of their
work, and where especially the rural
sections of the state viii derive the
incalculable good to come from first
class roads
But this it not all. The extra ses-
sion passed bill placing a tax of |
two hundred dollars upon near-beer
dealers.
The enemies of the governor were
dehghted to see this bill attacked in |
the courts, and for some time kent
publishing that Its would raise no rev. |
enue.
Governor Smith employed counsel to
help the attorney general The tax |
was sustained. He employed men to /
represent the state in different coun- |
ties to press the collection of the
tax.
Now ne has the pleasure of knowing |
that nearly two hundred thousand |
dollars is in the treasury, made as a |
consequence of one bill passed at the |
extra session, and that all the good |
work Of the extra session has been |
accomplished for the people of the |
state, not at a loss. but with an in
crease of one hundred AMI fifty thou-
sand dollars of revenue in the treas
ury.
The newspapers which attacked the
governor for calling the extra session 4
OF the legislature are now silent.

There were several crosses Of honor
to be bestowed, but, owing to some
misunderstanding of preliminary con-
ditions, only one was actually pre-
scented. This was given to Senator
John S. Beard, of Pensacola, on behalf
OF his father, the late William K
Beard, of Tallahassee.
Several magnificent floral tributes,
brought in memory of the distin-
guished dead, decorated the speakers
