WANTS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO RETURN COTTON TAX
sY FRANK |. HuFFAKER.

S1 F6AFSN L. HUFF AkER.
Tallahassee, April 15.-From 1865 to
1858 the general government levied
against the southern states an un-
constitutional and unjust cotton war
tax, on which was collected something
like S6S,00o 000 and although repub-
icans and democrats alike have re-
garded the tax as unwarranted, con-
gresS has for several decades refused
TO refund the amount collected to own
ers of the cotton and their heirs. It
is predicted, however, that Justice will
be done before the end of the Wood
row Wilson administration.
In continuance of the fight for re-
funding the unjust tax, Representative
J. c. Adkins of. Alachua, has intro
duced a memorial calling upoin con-
gress for early and favorable action,
and there Is no doubt, of course as
to the passage of the memorial by
both houses. Several years ago Con-

turn Of the cotton tax, but the propo-
sition has always been defeated by
the republican. majority. With the
democrats in complete control, though,
it is believed that an appropriation bill

states will be passed at the next reg
ular session.
OF the amount due from the general
government, about one million will

Mr.. Wilson Is said TO realize that

Rome, April 16.-The condition of

It is reported the pontif Is near
death and that Father Agostine Pinei
has been ordered to be ready to ad-

probably an exaggeration but the pope
is much worse. His prostration, the
elevation OF his temperature, and his
inability to retain the hghtest nour-
