dealer Of this city, has taken up in

that the people of this county fix on a

forts of the people Of the Orange

place to the Ocklawaha river.
"Mr. Mawman," states the CORE .

up shop on October /, and armed with
shovel, rake and hoe, supplemented
by teams of all kinds, hike to the sec
ton Of unbuilt road and proceed to
put it in apple pie order. EIe desires

WALL THREATENS
TO ENJOIN COUNTY
Commissioners Notified Of
Proposed Action to Stop
FiOrahOme Drainage.

The Honorable John Peter Wall of
Putnam Hall, through his attorneys,
Messrs. Cone & Chapman of Lake City,
served notice on the board of county
commissioners on Monday last that
on Thursday, Sept. 11th, AID. 1913, he
would apply to the Hon. J. T. Wills,
Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit,
for an injunction to prohibit the said
commissioners from going on with the
Florahome drainage operations now
fairly under way. .
Like notices were also served the
same day on the county tax assessor
and county tax collector, Of an appli-
cation to Judge Wills on the same
day for an injunction to restrain them
from the further assessing of the
lands within the Florahome district
for drainage purposes, and from the
further collection of the drainage tax.
Upon what grounds Mr.. Wall will
base his bill of complaint it is impos
sible at this time to say as the at
torneys in the case have not yet filed
their bill with the clerk of the circuit
court.
Attorney A. H. Odom has been en-
ployed by the board to look after the
county's interests and as soon as the
bill of complaint is filed will prepare
the county's answer.
Because Of this notice the board has
arranged that the contracts awarded
for lumber and machinery shall not
20 into effect until after the 18th, and
rot then in case the injunction is
granted.
The conditional contract for lumber
was awarded to the lowest and best
bidder, Q. |. Roberts, who bid $500
yer 1000 for Sam. and $27 for heart
and who is to deliver the same on the
ground free
The awarding of the contract for
machinery was left to committee
consisting Of Chairman W. c. Alvers

Spiders, like worms and snakes,
were formerly much used in charm
cures, and only a year or two since
an English shOpkeeper was startled
by request for "a nut to put a spider
in to cure baby's whooping cough.
The spider, according to an old-time
prescription, was to be inclosed in a
nut and suspended round the child's
neck. the idea being that as the in

Will Omen the Canal This Year.

Colonel Goethals, chief engineer of
the Panama Canal, In a report to the
War Department this week reiterated
the hope that he would pass ship
through the canal before the close
Of the present year.
The statement came in response to
an inquiry from Secretary Garrison as
to whether it would be possible to
grant the request of Captain Amund-
sen, the explorer, that he be allowed
to take his ship. Fran. through the
canal when he starts for the Antarctic
regions from the West Coast of South
America next winter.
Colonel Goethals said:
1.-The opening of the Panama Canal
for the passage of vessels has always
been predicated on the question of
slides and the completion of the lock
gates. The present schedule contem-
plates admitting the water into Guile
bra Cut early in October and the CON-
pletion of one flight of locks at either
end of the canal at that date. The
passage of boats then depends upon
the condition of the slides. 1t is hoped
that we will be able to pass ship be-
fore the close of the year and If this
can be accomplished the Fran will
have no difficulty in making the tran
sit of the canal and every facility will
be offered for its doing SO. No assur-
ance, however, can be given in the
matter at this time"

The income tax is to be perma-
nent source of income to the govern
ment and the rich man may as we'll
prepare to accept the burden, Repre-
sentative Hull of Tennessee, author
of the bill, said in explaining his bill
in the house.
The tax, he said, is fair and produc-
tive, responsive to changes in rates.
and cheap of collection. No honest
taxpayer had anything to fear, he said.
Against the assertion that the tax
was upon thrift, industry and profits,
Mr.. Hull replied that the tariff was
tax upon consumption, want and
even poverty and misery and added
that the proposed income tax was
measured by net profits or gains and
not imposed upon gross income nor
capital nor other property. He char
acterized the income tax as the out
growth of centuries of tax legislation
throughout the world.

$27.32 Per.

During the year 1912 the taxes
paid in the state of Washington for
all purposes, including state, coun-
ty. city, school and for all other
purposes on all classes of proper
ty. amounted to $31,2O4,S2O.4S, ae-
cording to a statement issued by
the state tax commission. These
figures were complied from the re-
ports of the different county Of
ficials. In 1911 the total taxes
paid amounted to $29,030,234.55,
showing an increase in 1912 over
1911 of $2,174,5S5.
Figured out on a pro rata basis.
according to the last census, every
person in the state paid taxes in
1912 amounting to $27.S2, against
a pro rata of $3.50 in 1911. Count
ing the average family as consist
ing of five persons, the figures in
dictate that the tax per family in
Washington average $136.6O. These
figures are based on the reports of
the county officers and include
taxes levied for all purposes. Only
a small percentage of this amount
is paid into the state. The por-
portion will be figured out later.
Out of $31,2O4.S20.48 King cOun-
ty paid $8.952.O6S.5O. or more than
rs per cent. of the total. Spokane
came next with $3,530.O56, and
Pierce third with $3,O75,987. Che
halls, Yakima and SnOhOmish cOun-
ties are the only others which paid
more than 100000 in taxes, al
though Whatcom county was close
to the mark with $99S,S59.24. The
smallest amount was paid in by
San Juan county, which had a
total tax levy of but $43.9S9. In
Thurston county the taxes amount
ed to but $441,O35. or consider
ably less than One-half of the mil
lion dollars.
