Vermont sportsmep will be ereatl

Vermont sportsmen will be greatly
interested in the Massachusetts exper-
iment at raising wild turkeys to stock
some of the covers of that state. II
they will live and thrive in Massachu-
sets. they will in Vermont. at least
in the southern part of the state. AS
a matter of fact, wild turkeys were
plentiful In this part of Vermont
when the settlers first came here and
even up to 1910, occasional birds were
killed. Vermont has thousands of &C
cres of forest cover along the Greer
Mountain and Taconic ranges, and i
would be worth trying to stock will
wild turkeys. They are very shy anC
timid birds and would not trouble
crops on cultivated land to any seri
Gus extent, while as exterminators o
grasshoppers and other insects, the.
would prove valuable asset for tn
farming interests.

Is Mr.. Ryan a
Tax Dodger?

The question has arisen is Mr..
Thomas Fortune Ryan tax dodger.
Mr.. Ryan was born in Tenn zee and
has lived out his active life in New
York. He purchased an estate and
maintains SUNNI. nome in Virginia.
That historic state. under it's new
constitution, has an income tax law.
Under t.lat law. every citizen is re-
quired to list his income and pay tax
on 1t, regardless of the state his in
vestments may be in.
Mr.. Ryan has H. ostiy given in to
the tax assessor an annual income of
$4,000. Mr.. Ryan is supposed to be
at least ten times richer than any
other citizen of Virginia. yet his in
come, by his own estimate, is 100000
less than that of Richmond capt.
talist and less than that of number
of Virginia men.
It 10 said the Virginia authorities
will investigate.

HAVE SPECIAL
TAX ELECTION
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BEGIN
OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS LOOK
ING TO RAISING MONEY FOR
BRIDGE AT FERRY PASS.

Santa Rosa County has begun the
necessary official proceedings looking
t. the raising of money for paying
its share of the proposed Escambia
and Santa Rosa County bridge across
the Escalnbia river at Ferry Pass.
The County Commissioners of Santa
Rosa have ordered an election for Oc-
tober Is, at which time the people will
vote on the question of establishing
special tax district and giving the
commissioners power to make a spec
ial levy for an amount not exceed
ing thirty-fve thousand dollars to be
paid during a period of fifteen years
The special tax district covers a
territory from Bay Point on the south
TO a point about six miles north of
Milton on the north, including Pace,
FIoridatown, and Mulat.
Under the terms of the special tax
district provision, if the proposition
carries, the money will be raised in the
district and, being spread over a Pc
Rod of fifteen years, it will require
only small levy to raise the neces-
sary amount.
The carrying of this election will

The Lessons

Many good people bitterly deplore

Many parents must abhor the idea

have the people for the misfeasance

have the people for the misfeasance
and malfeasance of said board?
You may answer by saying that this
said board individually and collectively
are liable to indictment. But stop!
Does the law give that board the right
to select juries? If so, then the pres
ent status will remain and the graft
ing will proceed without interruption
because it will be impossible to get a
jury to indict.
I note that The Journal in a late is
sue had a brief editorial relative to
this very subject, but 1t was only a
passing notice of this great oversight
of legislation.
For instance in Putnam county a
bond issue was made in amount $780,
600. Add to this another 100000,
regular revenue collected from the tax
payers of Putnam. The board of
county commissioners, mind you, dis
bursed this amount. In other and
palmer language, 100000 in one year
passed through the hands Of the five
commissioners of said county, yet these
officers were under no bond. What
protection has the taxpayer?
But you may answer back and say
that 100000 bond money was placed
in the hands of board of bond trus-
tees who expended said money. All,
my friend and brother Andrews, the
acts of this board of bond trustees had
to pass the gauntlet of the board OF
county commissioners which virtually
made the county board responsible and
that responsibility transferred to a
he hoa ri IF
commissioners.
Now I have written these few lines
merely to call your attention to this
great wrong being done the great COM
mon people and ask that you ventilate
same and force necessary legislation.
I would suggest a bill to be intro
duced in the legislature compelling
every commissioner to execute bond
in an amount equal to so per cent of
the money that passes through the

AN OPEN LETTER TO
HON. CHAS. O. ANDREWS
McMeekin. Fla, Sept. str. /

McMeekin. Fla. Sept. 5tA, 1912.
Hon. Charles O. Andrews:
AS brother attorney I presume to
address you. note a communication
in The Pensacola Journal of Sept. /,
1912, relative to criminal prosecutions.
You seem to possess versatile pen
and a mind bent on legal reform. I
wish to call your attention to one Of
the most vital defects in the laws of
Florida, involving a question Of stu
pendous import and one which comes
with trinoda necessitas as a triple
cord to bend its judgment and force
a decision.
It is this, to-wit: The boards of
county commissioners OF Florida are
not required to execute bond either
collectively or individually. An mex
cusable omission in our lawmakers. 3
relic of reconstruction days when you
take into consideration that the
board of county commissioners is the
fiscal court Of the county embracing
the power and responsibility to raise
money and the spending of same. the
duty to supervise the assessment of all
property in the county. the equaliza-
ton of taxes, the accepting of official
bonds of all other county officers, etc.
and this board is exempt from the
obligation to give bond, thereby in
wiling graft. You are forced to ex-
claim what inconsistency-accep
bonds yet not executing bonds"
I ask where do the great common
people" come in? What safeguard

The Soldier and
The Sword Maker.

In the book of worldly fame it is
written that the great soldier with his
trusty sword hewed down the foes that
encompassed him and moved the way
for his army's victory and his nations
glory. It is written that a score of
swords were broken against his own
that great day. Heroic indeed were
his courage, strength and purpose.
Honors are justly his.
But in a more enduring book. little
read or needed on earth. is written the
record of the humble blacksmith who
made that sword so keen and strong
that it would not dent or break. But
for the skill and honesty of the un-
sung sword maker. the praised hero
would have been nothing.
The many, who do not appear in
history at all, but whose lives are
taken up with commonplace tasks, are
nevertheless soldiers and sword max
ers. Each man is both soldier and
sword-maker; and his achievement in
the battle of life depends as much
upon the quality OF the sword he
fashions for himself as upon the cour-
age and energy with which he Yields
1t.
High purpose and perseverance are
to the man what the threads Of silver
are to Damascus steel-welded into the
whole. that the blade. though it may
be bent double, will not break.

Election Time,
Lem Higgins says he doesn't know
Just how the country's going
to go,
IT'S mighty hard for even him to
venture to prognosticate.
When Lem says that it's plain to see
surprises are in store, for he
Is quite the greatest expert that we
have on grave affairs Of state.
The country may go Democrat. He
wouldn't be surprised at that;
And it may go the Bull Moose way,
for things are mixed up very
bad.
He says there's only one safe bet. 1t
won't go prohibition yet,
Rut none can tell just what will come,
for folks have all gone tariff
mad.
Lem saws the tariff on yarn socks
will put crimp in Taft and
Knox;
II looks sometimes as though the
whole blame bunch is going to
be upset.
He saws that predatory wealth is bad
for our commercial health.
And that the postal savings banks
are gong TO nSSSI QuiI q iSe-
Seems like they got old Lem per-
picked for once, and US folks
are all vexed,
Bekus we always bank on him to find
out how we ought to vote
1t saves us worry, don't you see, to
shift responsibility,
But it seems like a bigger load this
year than Lem can safely tote.
Lem has been busy since last spring
just readin' up regards the
thing,
And he amt satisfied the way the
ship of state is headin' now.
He says Bill Taft has gone to sleep
and that ne amt no man to
keep
A-putterin' round the White House
any longer, we must all allow;
But still he says he amt so sot in
the opinions that he's got,
But what he might not vote fer him
again, providin' he makes good.
Taft is all right in lots of ways and
Lem don't think it ever pays
To count a Teller down and out, while
he's still sawin' wood.
Fact is Lem don't know where hes
at-Republican or Democrat
And won't while them Progressives
keep right on a-raisin' merry
hob.
He's going to save his mental force
and let the blamed thing take
its course.
