CITY MAY ASSESS PROPERTY
HIGHER THAN COUNTY RATE
DECISION HANDED DOWN BY THE
STATE SUPREME COURT HAS
AN IMPORTANCE THROUGHOUT
THE WHOLE STATE.
THE WHOLE STATE.

Under a decision Of the supreme
court of the state of Florida, cities
in the state can. assess property at
a higher valuation than the assess
ment placed on the same property
by the county. The case was ap-
pealed from Pinellas county (St.
Petersburg) and is regarded as one
of the most important ever handed
down by the states highest tribunal,
as it affects not only the city from
which the case was appealed, but ev-
cry municipality in Florida, the
right of a city to assess at a higher
valuation than the assessment made
by the county officials being upheld.
The supreme court by its decision
holds that the assessment can be
higher, and sustains the city in it's
property within the city, regardless
of the valuation fixed by the county
for state and county purposes. I'm
der this new ruling Daytona can
assess at full valuation and the
county tax assessor can continue to
place the customary one-fifth or one
fourth valuation on the same prop
erty, the city thereby being able to
increase its bond limit through the
higher valuation without having to
be assessed higher by the county
and pay more than its share of the
expenses Of the state government.

WHY SHE CHANGED FER MIND
Where Wjfely ignorance Is Husbandly
Bliss 'Twere Folly to Put
Her Wise

Mrs. Blithers had not always found
herself In an approving mood In re-
spect to the so-cslled sports Of the
sterner sex, and her opinions concern
ing golfers who spend Sunday on the
links, or spoTtsmeu who shoot
pigeons were so very decided that
Blithers invariably looked around for
cotton to stuff in his ears when she
begun to deliver them, One can
imagine his surprise. the other night,
when the good lady suggested the
idea Of his taking her to q horse race
some time. The notion that she could
bring herself to approve Of such q
diversion had never occurred to Blith-
ers, and he gazed at her in simple
amazement.
You don't mean to say that you ap-
prove Of horse-racing?" he demanded.
Well, I didn't use to, Mrs. Blithers
replied. but now that am coming to
know more about It I think I do. I've
been taking the trouble to read about
the races that are allowed to be run
latterly, and I have made up my mind
that there's more good in those race
track men than we've given them
credit for"
We'll. well, weIl!' laughed Blith-
ers. Wonder OF wonders, What has
brought about this remarkable
change"
We'll. I've discovered how kind
those men are to their horses" said
Mrs. Blithers. Il noticed last week
that every time a horse wasn't feeling
well enough to run, his owner, IN
stead Of going out and beating him
with a whip, has in every case gone
out and scratched the poor animal! -"

HOW INDIANS MADE HISTORY
Only In Tradition Does History Live
and Only One Version of Story
Is Ever Heard.

II We could only get at the facts of
the history of our Indian tribes, it
would be of interest to compare these
with what Is related as the fortune Of
most civilized nations. 1t IS only in
tradition that the history of the In
dian lives, and only one version of
the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is so true to nature that no room
for doubt can be foaud Such is the
following chapter from the annals of
the Beavers. q Canadian tribe
One day a young chief shot his ar
row through a dog belonging TO an
other brave. The brave reyeuged the
death Of his dog and Instantly "a hun
dred bows We're drawn, Ire night had
fallen some eighty warriors lay dead
around the camp. the pine woods rang
with the lamentations of the women:
the tribe had lost its bravest men.
There was a temporary truce. The
friends of the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people. and 1t was ag .eed that
they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune in the vast
wilderness lying to the south.
In the night they began their
march; sullenly their brethren saw
them depart, never to return. They
went their way to the shores of the
Lesser Slave Lake, toward the great
plains which were said to be far
southwark, by the banks of the swift
rolling Saskatchewan.
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again. but a hundred
years later a Beaver Indian who fol
lowed the fortunes of a white fur
hunter found himself in one of the
forts Of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians were camped about the pail
sades; they were members of the
great Blackfoot tribe. whose hunting
grounds lay south Of the Saskatcbe-
wan Among them were a few braves

guage different from that Of the 9th

dian recognized his own tongue

meant him for carpenter from
the first.
Then came the winter, and
there was not such a great need
for carpenters. Gerlink lost his
job, and could not find another.
The money he had saved toward
furnishing home for Frances
and himself began to dwindle.
1t was then that the full curse
of the college training of Ger
link made itself felt. He began
to worry about his soul, and his
destiny, and social conditions,
and the causes of things, all of
which are things that healthy
young man has absolutely moth
ing to do with.
Especially if he be in love.
But Frances still loved him. So
Gerlink spent more and more
time in her company, and COM
municafed to her his bitter and
cynical philosophy, and made her
miserable as we'll as himself.
The end?
That came this morning, when
the bodies Of Gerlink and Fran
ces, clasped in each others arms,
were found in a gas filled room at
Gerlink's lodgings. 2z38 South

AppIe and Peach Prospects.

Columbia, Mo-, May 1.-The secre'
tary OF the state board Of horticulture
has received reports from correspond
ents throughout the state relative TO the
outlook for the apple and peach crop.
Indications now are that the apple
crop will be unusually large if proper
attention be given to spraying. Re-
ports show that there will be very
heavy bloom, only few reporting the
bloom below the average, while many
place it above average.
The peach bloom is practically con
fined to a very limited area in the
southwestern part Of the state, and even
there the prospects for a crop are far
below average. Practically all report
very severe winter injury to trees.
Considerably more. spraying than
usual is being done. This gives a
hopeful aspect TO fruit growing tn
Missouri. Well sprayed orchards are,
as rule, good paying orchards.

attempted gerymander have been re-
Gently sustained by the unanimous de.
cision Of Our supreme court, in the
following language:
The analysis Of the facts Of the case
was most conclusive evidence that in
apportioning the state into districts.
they wholly disregarded the constitu-
tional mandates as to compactness Of
territory and equality Of population.
We are therefore Of the opinion that
the actual apportioDment is unconsti-
tutional, null and void"
In making this courageous stand ior
the rights Of the people he has put a
check Tor all times on all attempts to
distranchise a part Of the voters Of oul
state by such partisan and illegal
methods. In tact, so we'll has Governor
Hadley served and wrought that thi;

privilege Of apportioning the state into
senatorial districts. In reviewing the
administration Of Governor Hadley the
committee on resolutions wrote and the
convention adopted the following:

Governor HadIsy Commended.

The republican state convention at
St. Louis adopted a strong endorsement
Of Governor Hadley and his administra-
ton. One declaration concerning his
record as governor is that during his
administration Of this great Office he
has kept the party pledge to give to
the people Of the large cities an honest
battot and fair count. He has taken
the police departments Of the large
cities out of politics, caused to be in
creased their efficiency and character,
and made them useful agencies for the
protection of life and property. He
has enforced all the laws without fear or
favor. He has been the consistent
and persistent advocate Of every pro-
gressive measure in state government,
and the leader in every contest against
injustice, discrimination, unfairness and
special privilege in public and political
affairs. He has encouraged and accom-
plished a splendid result in the devel-
opment OF the undeveloped resources
Of the state; encouraged immigration
and inaugurated progressive and ef-
fective plan for the building Of public
roads; he has raised the standard OF
efficiency in the conduct Of the states
institutions and brought the man
agement OF the eleemosynary, penal
and reformatory institutions in accord
with modern, humane and scientific
methods"

Majors EffTOnteU.

In what he termed the opening speech
Of his campaign for the democratic
nomination for governor Attorney Cen
eral Major said: "One Of the most
beneficial services, however, | have
rendered, one helping every ireeholder
in the state, was my vote preventing
the trebbling Of the assessment on every
farm and home in Missouri. Had the
written resolution offered by Governor
Hadley before the state board OF equal
ization succeeded in passage every
mans tax upon his farm or home would
have been trebled. In other words, if
the tax on ones humble home was SIS
it would have been SIS had the reso'
luton been adopted"
Such statement by man holding
the position Of attorney for the people
OF this state is amazing. It's efrontery
is startling. II Major believes that
what he said is true he is the biggest
chump who ever held a state Office.
The governors proposition was simply
to follow the plain letter and spirit Of
the constitution in the assessment Of
taxable property and then to fix on that
property a rate Of taxation sufficient 10
meet the requirements Of the state
government rate that would make
the aggregate Of taxation a great deal
more while it would reduce the tax
burden Of individual tax payers because
it would make all taxable property bear
its honest proportion Of taxes.
