The Carlisle independent., 1909-03-04

MT. Collins of Drew has introduced a bill providing for an annual salary of $1,000 per year for members of the legislature, the term of office for such remuneration to begin with date of election. They are to receive their pay daily during the regular term of the General Assembly, and at the end of every three months thereafter until the end of their said terms. This would mean an expenditure of S270,000 for eacn General Assemply. as there are 135 members in the two houses. At present the members draw $6 per day while on actual duty, and nothing for the rest of the time.

An Effort Toward
School Identification.

The following from the Florida
School Exponent denotes a commend
able purpose TO urge the various
schools of the state to have an eye to
the aesthetic:
1t would give US a great deal OF
pleasure 20 publish a list of the
schools In Florida that have more
than tire window plants, and It would
give US especial pleasure to make
public mention of any school in the
state that has a garden Is there one?
In making this proposition the Ex-
pOnent shows its knowledge OF how
great Is the effect of environment on
the human mind. Every vocation IN
life becomes easier and more attract
i've when performed amid agreeable
surroundings. Work which may be
dun, insipid and most tiresome when
it is done in the midst of slovenliness.
uncleanliness and ugliness, will as
sumo an entirely different aspect
when frightened by the presence of
the beautiful. In one case il is irk-
some and fills the heart with care; ID
the other it often becomes a JOY.
And no minds are so susceptible 10

Cobb, March 23.-The farmers are

lands are all in good order, and sea-
sons are real fine.
PROF. J. F. Watson and Miss Esther
Spurlin were married a few days ago
The professor has taught several
schools in this section and viii To-
cate here permanently.
1t viii be remembered that Cobb is
only about three years old. Five
years ago two small cars of CONNER
ciaI fertilizers were used in this sec
lion. the cars averaging about sixteen
IONS. This season fifteen cars have
already been sold, each car averaging
about thirty tons. The people OF
south Alabama have their eyes fixed
on this county.
J. A. Chaffin and COmpsny have sold
fifteen thousand acres of land for the
past four years to farmers in this
section and about one thousand acres
In cultivation.
J. II. Short, one Of the leading
farmers here, advises your CORE
spondent that the farmers here use
on an average Of two hundred pounds
of fertilizer per acre, and realize on
an average of twenty-five bushels per
acre Of corn. On their cotton lands
they use about three hundred pounds
per acre and realize three-fOurths of
a bale per acre.

PROPOSED PLAN FOR
PARDON ATTORNEY.
Puuta GOrda Herald.


Mr.. Daniel A. Simmons, who, as
private secretary to Governor Brow.
ard, was secretary of the state pay
I dOning board, has submitted to the
public through the Union The
text of q bill which he proposes 20
have introduced in the legislature pro-
F;dng for the appointment of a par
don attorney, whose duty it snail be
to investigate all applications for par
don and report the result of his in
ye-tgatiOuS 10 the hardening board
The object OF the bill is to prevent,
as far as possible. the granting of IN
mCTited clemency and, also, TO protec.
the state officials composing the board
from unjust criticism, thus strength
eufng them in public confidence.
MI Simmons points out that The
state officials have so many duties to
perform that they have not the time
10 go into a thorough investigation Of
every application for pardon and that,
on this account, they are often in dan
ge- of being misled by attorneys rep
rosentiRg the applicants. especially as
the opposition to the prayed for pa
don is rarely represented. Indeed. the
state in its prosecuting capacity is
never represented
Mr.. Simmons's motive is commend
able, and some such bill as he pro-
poses ought to be enacted; but We
fear that the pardon attorney might
become the de faeto gardening power.
He doubtless, like any other nan.
might become subject to the infiu-
eIces which sometimes have misIsd
the board: and unless the bill specific
ally required that he should repres snt
the state as a prosecuting attorney,
he might yield to inducements or IL
hCence favorable to an undes5rving
applicant This is the chief objection
that We see to the proposed bill.
II would be well TO compare Nj
SimmOns's plan with the suggestion
made by General Gilchrist two years
ago viz: that the encouragement be
relieved from. membership in the AZ
dcEtng board and that the prosecuting
attorney of each judicial circuit be re-
Cured to appear before the board and
represent the state on all applications
fer pardon eRlanaJing from MS CT.
cGiC. The board could give each cir
cut a date fer hearing 2pplicatio1 s

Obstacles In the Way
Of County Division.

So far as the reapportiOnment ii
| representation in the Florida legislat
ure is concerned under the present
constitutional provision it must be
recC gnfzed that the states lawmakers
viii have a task almost impossible of
performance. In 1905 when the law
required this reappOrtionment to be
made, nothing was done. and the pro
vision of tne constitution limiting to
one hundred the number of Iegislat-
ors in the upper and lower houses
combined was deliberately set at
naUght by the creation of a new
county, st. Lueie, and giving it q rep
rssentative in the assembly, thus ID.
creEsing the total to one hundred and
one. 1t is evident. therefore, that :ha
present legislature is not a strictly
constitutional body, Its number being
! in excess of what it should be.
Any attempt at reapportionment IN
der the present status must, necss-
saIily, either inflict a wrong upon the
Fore poDuIous sections of the state
by restricting their representation, o.
else, by further increasing the num-
ber of legislators annul the basic law
tn a still more dangerous extent.
Neither of these alternatives is
right or proper The only way out of
the dilemma will be to submit to the
people an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing a change in the pres
ent method of selecting senators ana
representatives and a plan to increa:e
their number by legislative action
when necessary to meet the require
mCnts of a growing population.
The people Of Florida have given
taeit consent to the violation Of he
constitution by the increase Of he
legislature rendered necessary by The
creation of St. LUcie county-for IN
der the constitution no county MAJ
exist without one representative. But
1t is time 10 draw a line and prevent
any further infractiUu OF the basic
law. It should be made clear to the
legislature that there shall be no fu.-
thac addition TO its membership until
the constitution shall have been
amended so as to allow IL. To attemOt
such an increase by the creation of
new counties would clearly be Illegal
aud any enactment in that direction
woulG doubtless be vetoed by the gov
error.
County division, then. by the pres
eut legislature, can scarcely be ex-
peCted at any of the points where II
is desired unless preceded or accom-
panied by reapDOrtionment which can
not be made Justly as things now are.
And it looks very much as though the
counties desiring division must wait
unul the constitution may be amended
in way to equalize representation in
the legislature.
