Oyster Dealers License.

Section 10, Chapter 6531, Laws of
Florida, provides: No person, firm or
corporation shall engage in buying
for resale raw oysters or clans un-
til they shall have first procured
from the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture an annual police license, which
amounts to $525 when sold open,
and 1925 when sold in shell. A
penalty of $10O or six months in
Jail will be imposed on anyone buy
ing for resale without license. This
includes hotels, restaurants, bar
rooms and any other place that may
sell raw oysters.
The purpose of this act was to
regulate the shell fish industry. 1t
singles out this industry, prescribes
certain rules for the encouragement
and developemnt of the industry and
imposes certain taxes upon it and
those who engage in it or deal in the
products of the industry, with a view
to its development and protection.

BOARD OF TRADE
To Fight FAKlRS
Want Merchants to Refer all
Schemes to Boards
Committee.

Palatka like most other wide-awake
cities and towns in Florida at this
season of the year is over-run with
fakirs. The North seems to empty
itself of them at this season and they
come from all sections, and with all
kinds of schemes, principally adver-
Using schemes.
Then there is the charity fakir,
who begs of merchants and at homes
for this and that religious organi-
zation, or other supposedly worthy
cause, but who in reality buttons the
swag inside his own vest.
In anticipation of the annual in
flux of this class, and in order that
our people may be protected as much
as possible from the undeserving,
President Davis of the board of trade
on Monday night introduced the fol-
lowing resolution which was unani-
mously adopted:
at is the work of the Board of
Trade to give cordial reception and
support to all new enterprises or any
new idea of use to the community.
Schemes of all kinds are being con-
stantly brought to the attention of
our business men, some asking sup
port without in return extending any
benefit to the public or to the CON
tributions. To shield our members,
therefore,
"Be 1t Resolved, that on and af-
ter December 1st, 1913, all promo
ters of advertising, free gift and
premium schemes of whatever kind
proposed to give the merchants and
others of The community, "much for
little" or something for nothing"
be referred to the advertising COM
mittee of the Board of Trdae for ap-
proval or rejection.
Resolved further, that all chari-
table, fraternal and religious organi-
zations of Palatka be requested, when
approached by solicitors, to insist
upon being shown ample evidence of
their reliability and backing or else
refer them to the Advertising Com
mittee of the Board of Trade for ex-
animation"

INDECENT POOR
TO live ON FARM
Purchased By County Com
missionerS on Rice Creek.

The board of county commissioners
at their meeting this week purchased
81 acres of land on the north bank of
for home for the county's INDECENT
poor.
The land is level and has not been
cleared; it is on the banks of Rice
Creek and after the work contemplat-
ed has been accomplished will prove a
| healthy place with good water to be
had from artesian wells. The soil is
good and adapted to truck gardening.
The price paid for the land was $500
1t was urchased of w. A. Williams of
Bardin, clerk in the Office of the
county clerk.
The board has had this matter un-
der discussion for some time. The
resent system of pauper pensions is
costly and is an increasing cost. At
present the average paid outpin pau
per pensions is $340 per month, or
$4,000 per year.
The commissioners argued that by
the purchase of this farm and the
erection of suitable buildings for a
start that the farm could be placed in
commission for less than the pension
roll for one year; that after the coun-
ty paupers were once housed there
that the annual cost would be very
much less; many of the inmates will
be able to do some little work on the
place and thereby retain a feeling of
independence. Most of them will be
able to do sufficient of some one thing
to earn their keen. OF course the
aged and infrm, who are not able to
work will be cared for. They will
have a clean home and plenty of
home grown fresh vegetables to eat,
besides raising their own meat. They
will have fresh air and sunshine and
exercise, and when in the mood can
go down to the river bank and let
their feet hang over the bank and
fish.
Then there is room, argued some
Of the commissioners, to locate a
stockade on the farm for county pris-
oners in case the county should de-
eide to work them on the roads in
stead of leasing them as at present.
The poor farm is the approved |
method of caring for paupers the
country over. The pension system is
not suited to the care of the really
deserving poor. 1t works uniustly;
IN some cases the really deserving |
get too little money, while others not |
so needy get more.
The county commissioners will get
busy Immediately and put the farm in
order for the reception of its guests,
who will be in charge of superin-
tendent yet to be selected.

CASH VALUES TO

County Assessors Ordered TO
Assess all Property at Full
Cash Value.

tallahassee, Dec. 4-Iollowing the
convention Of tax assessors of the
state, held here on November 70 anG
II, which convention had been called
oy inc board Of state tax commlss-
lonerS, the said tax commissioners
nave issued instructions to all the tax.
assessors of the state, wherein said
assessors, among other things, are
i'll ected to assess property of the
state at its full cash values. This
pre- position was very strongly dis
cuSSed at the convention here last
week, and practically all of the as
SeS@ors,, and other members of the
convention, were of the opinion that
property should be assessed at its full
2a2n value, but expressed themselves
as doubtful Of the practicability of
the scheme, and when the proposition
came up for final vote as to whether
or not the assessors should return TO
thclr home counties and assess the
1914 taxes on basis of "full cash val.
ue" of properties, it was voted down.
Notwithstanding this action of the
convention, the tax commissioners
nave sent out their instructions. as
mentioned above.
. 10 a newspaper correspondent one
OF the State Commissioners said:
The state of Wyoming has tax laws
similar to our state and up to 1909
property was assessed in different
'clnties on about as unequal basis
as cur state, from 10 per cent up to
true value. The tax commissioners
got an agreement from the assessors
that they would assess all property |
or the year 1909 at true value. The |
"olloWinT is results for the year1908. |
Under lew valuations, the total as
ossed valuation of all property was
5G7, ,58O,O51.12, which required for
itate purposes millage of 6 1-2
Mills; for the year 1909, under "cash
,alue" assessment, the total valua-
ion was $186,157,274.15, an increase
If S118,557, ,223.03; less than 2 1-2
Mills was levied for that year for
tate purposes and reductions for
ounty purposes in same. proportion.
This will show that full cash value
assessment will hurt no taxpayer in
ur state.

ATLANTA BEATS
EAST FOR TRADE

Atlanta is the most cheerful spot
on the map" says W. S. Lounsbury,
vice president Of the Travellers Bank
and Trust Company, just returned
from a trip which included visits to
Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia.
New York, Boston, New Haven and
small towns in the States of New
York and New Jersey.
7 made it my business to call on
the bankers in all the Eastern cities.
1t is a relief to get out of the atmos-
phere of the North and East back into
the realm of confidence he says.
Atlanta is to be congratulated on
being in the best shape Of any city
east of Chicago. Business is splen-
did here. compared to the East. Part
Of it, indeed, is at the expense Of the
East.
"One of the loudest walls l heard
was from Baltimore. Atlanta jobbers
are cutting deeply into Baltimore S
trade, particularly in the CarOlinas.
and, to make it a little more painful
to the Maryland dealers, the trade
which is coming to Atlanta is the
cream
THE trouble in the North is that
the loans are based largely on Wall
Street securities, instead of on the
crops, as here. Consequently, Allan
Ia, looking to the fields for news, gets
cheerful tidings, while the East look
ing at Wall Street, is depressed.
