TAXATION SHOULD BE
PROPERLY EQUALIZED

To the vo tiers of s.. Lucie county.
Taxation should be equalized. The
burden of taxation should be lightened
upon improvements and enterprise.
BY this plank of my platform | mean
specifically that property which is being
improved and developed should have a
lower rate of taxation than property
that is being held for speculation
In New Zealand and Australia high
er rate of taxation is put on large land
estates to prevent whole counties from
remaining in the ownership Of people
who prevent its development so that
taxation shall not increase and they may
keep it back until the pressue of pop
ulation enables them to sell at high
profit,
We at present have law which says
that young grove not bearing shall not
be assessed higher on account of that
improvement. That law is correct in
principle, and believe the principle
should be further applied.
The gentlemen interested in the
Omaha. Florida Land Company in their
talk to the board of trade spoke at
length on the present taxation practice
as an influence to retard development.
For instance. if they drain their wild
lands in the endeavor to make them
salable, they are apt to have to pay
double taxes at once. They spoke also
of the part taxation had in the develop
ment of the southwest
And in the quality observable now is
a country merchant with few hundred
dollars is required to pay the same IL
cense to the State that a small stand in
the city, which is far more highly pr
fitable. is required to pay. In my own
case am required to pay the same T.
cense as a lawyer who makes $25, 900.
a year. This form of taxation is so
laid as to put an undue burden on the
man and upon enterprise in the small
town and country, The same principles
underlying the demand for the income
tax initiate against many of our present
forms of taxation.
In speaking of the income tax am
reminded by one of the readers of the
TRIBUNE that | failed to make clear one
point to it, and that is that income tax
is levied upon the net income only.
Were it not so, it would be the most
unequal form Of taxation.

These invitations met with a hearty

happy gathering at the home OF Mrs

Mrs. Webb's residence was bower
of beauty. Beginning with the piazza,
which was trimmed with palms ana
flowers. then on into the reception
room where the decorations were ferns
and a profusion Of flowers, orange
blossoms and lilies being much in evil
dence. Then the dining room, where
the color scheme was yellow and white,
was thing of beauty" From the
center of the room was suspended a
large floral wedding bell, and in the
middle of the dining table was an i'm
mense Easter nest full of eggs, on each
of which was inscribed a good wish for
the intended bride.
As the guests arrived, they were met
and presented to the receiving trio,

Misses Maud and Barbara Miller were

The hostess then requested each lady
to draw from the Easter nest and read
aloud the good wishes for the bride

was very amusing, as there were fate
full tor the girls articles hidden in the
nest Miss Goggans drew a thimble
and penny; Miss Bailey silver dime;
Miss Maud Miller, the gold ring. Any
one knows the meaning attached to
the above articles. All so true. Never
known to fail. Ha, ha!
Another pleasing and enjoyable feat

was the serving of delicious refresh
ments gold and silver cake and iced
skerberts, served in orange cups, af ter
which the company had the pleasure of

THE FIGHT IN CONGRESS.


As more complete details Of the great
fight made in Congress to wrest con-
troll of the house from Speaker Cannon,
and the more knowledge OF the great
rood that will accrue to the masses OF
people by the dethronement of that ar
rogant tyrant, the more interest is be-
ing displayed by the people, and the
success of the effort is hailed as one of
the greatest movements in Congress in
years.
For years the Speaker of the House
has absolutely controlled legislation.
and under the rules adopted by the Re-
publican majority, he has been allowed
even greater authority than the consti-
tuition provided. That he has used this
power to the detri ment OF the people,
and in the interest of corporate wealth,
is we'll known fact.
The last Republican national platform
declared in favor of revision Of the
tariff various western states boldly
declared for revision DOWNWARD, and
the Republican congressional candidates
were pledged to carry out the platform
of their states; but Cannon, clothed
with power by the Republican majority,
OVERRIDE all demands of the people.
This started the insurgent movement
among the Western Republicans, who
numbered nearly thirty. In league
with the Democrats, they resolved to
strip Speaker Cannon of his power, and
the first step to organize Rules COM
mittee-e eliminating the Speaker from
membership was begun. After ses-
sion lasting three days-wit allnight
sessions. despite the unfair rulings of
the speaker, the battle was won. The
speaker has been stripped of his power,
and in the future it will be possible to
enact legislation that is not favored by
that august servant of the trusts.
OF course, much credit for this result
is due the insurgent Republicans of the
west, but the battle could not have
oee'l won WITHOUT tne a'o Vi tlle o''e
hundred and fifty Democrats. The Re
pubIicans deserted their party to up
hold principal. The Democrats simply

SIZE OF WHEAT FIELDS.
Average by States From Three
Acres to One Hun
dred.

Washington, Aug. 95.-Al-
though the wheat fields of the far
west are generally supposed to
be of extended acreage, the bu-
reau of statistics of the depart
ment of agriculture has issued
an estimate showing that in the
states where the fields are larg-
est their size averages little more
tran one hundred acres.
California alone is an exception
to this rule as in that state the
average acreage reaches one hum
dred and siNty-nine acres. In
North Dakota the average is lis
acres, in Washington one hun
dred and ten acres and Oregon
one hundred and five acres. Al
though there are some enormous
fields of wheat in these states,
the many smaller ones reduce the
average size to that of an ordin-
airy farm.
New England has the smallest
wheat fields, the average acreage
of such fields in Vermont being
only three acres.
The values of both wireat and
corn lands is greatest in Illinois,
where the average value is said
to be $S4 for wheat per acre and
500 Tor corn. The central
west shows prices ranging be-
low those of Illinois. Land
values in the southern state are
low, averaging $32 for wheat and
$27 for corn land.
