Richmond College for use public park

serves careful consideration, The advantages
of having such q park in that section of the
city are evident and. az the mayor says. Is
the last section OF land in the western part
OF the city available for park purposes.

money for that purpose now 1t will prove a
safe investment II ever the municipality should

ton and land values will increase steadily for
many years. The money invested in the prop
erty now could be regained with large interest
later II IT should be found necessary.
Mayor Ainslie is expected to make some
recommendation TO the council regarding the
matter as soon as he acquires the necessary
information The matter will probably be
thoroughly threshed out and settled as 1t
should be.

EFFECTIVE ARGUMENT

In tariff revision the democrats
have by far the strongest and most eff
fective argument in the campaign.
Both the other parties claim it, and
claim that it should be entrusted to
professional protectionists and no one
else. But it is to laugh at both of
them when they put forward that pre-
tense. Mr.. Taft had repeated chances
to ameliorate the tariff, and muffed
them all. He ought not to have an
other chance. Mr.. Roosevelt knows
little and cares less about the tariff,
except when consideration of it is COM
pulsory in a campaign. Then he makes
bluff at saying something, but does
not say the right thing, and everybody
laughs. If the democrats get in and
get control of the Senate, something
will be done about the tariff, and there
is ample ground to be hopeful that it
will be done promptly, reasonab bly,
carefully and with intelligent con-
sideration for the business of the
country. Business expects the demo-
Gratis to win, and the tariff to be revis-
ed downward. Is business scared? Not
a bit! Look at it! Read the papers;
watch the stock market. Nobody fears
Wilson's election on business grounds
Roosevelt shouters and Taft shouters
affect to fear it, but they can't pass
the scare along. 1t doesn't Collie.

The employees of the street car COM

ganized union a few days ago. In
consequence of this, the company dis
charged about twenty-five of the men
whereupon the others went out on a
strike. The company will, of course
import strikebreakers. There has been
no disorder, and il is to be hoped the
men will not be provoked into any. II
seems to the Star that the streetcar
men had a perfect right to form a
union If they wanted to. and the COM
pany acted very unreasonably in dis
charging any of its employees because

We made personal inspection Of

ing our friend McArthur's letter and
find surveys finished, right of way
completed from the Alachua line to
near Morriston and judging from the
big force at work they mean to con-
summate the undertaking.
The means being used are derived
from the sub-road district fund. con-
sequently no graft. but each individual
contributor is as nearly interested as
II the labor was being utilized for his
own selfish use
Marion county's commissioners may
not (they should) cooperate in the pro-
ject TO open up this desirable avenue
of travel to our Brick City, but should
they the great crowds visiting Mar
ions capital city and the marvellous
increase in the trade therein would be
far beyond the most sanguine expec-
tations of the business men and citi-
zens
If the business men of Ocala but
knew the enormous gain in traffic to
them by the realization of this high
way they would put forth effort, con-
tribute means and agitate.

EASILY EXPLAINED
The Discrepancy In Ex-Governor Jen-
nings and Tax Assessor
Ayers Figures

Editor star: Gov. Jennings figures
from 1911 tax books, while 1 figure
from 1912 books which were not avail
able until now. Ny 1912 tax books
show an aggregate gain over 1911
books of nearly three hundred thou
sand dollars.
Gov. Jennings invited all tax asses
sors TO meet and discuss the subject
with the tax commission in Jackson
Vile. All the items that / figured on
were proposed and discussed there. No
one could tell then or now just which
will be accepted or rejected by said
commission, therefore. 1 had to figure
on all, showing how every item would
effect Marion county, and that if every
item figured on was taken from coun-
ties and turned over to the state, Mar
ion county would lose S227,746.90. OF
course, every item not taken must be
deducted from that amount, but with
all deductions suggested, Marion coun-
| ~ would still be in the whole many
thousand dollars as Mr.. Light shows.
[ Gov. Jennings is man of unusual
ability, and he has no desire to benefit
one county at the expense of another.
| No matter how much some of us dis
agreed with and opposed his views, he
most courtesy. His whole ambition is
| to devise tax laws for Florida that
will be more suitable than our pres
| ent unjust system. For centuries men
of the greatest minds have devoted
their entire lives trying to devise a
tax law that would distribute the bur-
den equally on all. but the deeper you
dive into the subject, the more in
| tricate il becomes, and no plan has
been proposed yet. but some defect or
| objection could be found to it. We do
not expect Gov Jennings to perform a
miracle, but we do confidently believe
that his commission will devise some
plan that will be an Improvement on
our present system, for he has copies
of the tax laws of every state, and is
giving the matter his undivided atten-
ton.
| While Gov. Jennings s working for
the entire state, Light is looking out
for Marion county, and he is on the
job. Light knows that the man who
goes to Tallahassee depending on his
mother wit and good common sense to
pull him through, will not amount to
; a notch on a stick. He is, therefore,
fortifying himself with facts and
figures, and it is the duty of every
county official to give him all he
possesses, which we have cheerfully
done. Alfred Aver
