Lansing. Mich, March 4.-After all
the talk that has been heard about
taxation in Michigan and all the work
of the commission appointed to inves
tigatc, no general taxation bill has
yet been brought forth.
Senator Murtha has sent in the
most important taxation measure. 1t
provides for separation of the land
tax and the improvement tax, and
gives the finest sort OF an opportunity
to find out what is an equitable tax
upon real estate in given district.
The plan is to assess in the cities
by the foot as unit of taxation
Every foot front of equal depth is to
be assessed at exactly the same fig

upon it, In the country the unit will
be the acre, unless it is subdiyided,
when the Unit will be the foot, By
this means an equablc tax is believed
TO be available.
Just what the legislation on taxa

Roberts Gonzalez, Feb. 22.-At a re-
cent meeting Of the Farmers Associa-
ton of this Community, s. w. Hiatt
was elected president and c. E. Inman
was elected secretary for the ensuing
year. Both are public spirited and
progressive farmers and were elected
by enthusiastic votes.
Among the many interesting sub
jects discussed was that of the dis
position of farm products.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
proposed Pensacola market, eff prop
erly handled" would provide great re-
lief and give the farmers a chance to
profitably dispose Of much produce di-
rectly to the buying public Of this city
1t was decided to bend every energy
toward the securing Of market place
here.
Several meetings are being planned
and one will be held tomorrow night
at which G. F. Zeek, Of Pensacola, will
be the chief speaker. A committee
has been appointed to work in con-
junction with the Pensacola CONNER
cial Association to secure a market

FOUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
toM Member of Legislature.
~

Under the census OF 1912 and by en-
sctment Of law by congress, Flor
Ida Is entitled to four representatives
in the lower house. After March 4, she
VIII have that number, the state hav-
ing elected a congressman at large to
make out the number as the state con-
tained only three districts. It is the
plain duty OF the next legislature TO
redistrict the state, making four con-
gressional districts instead of three as
at present. While It is the manifest
duty Of the legislature to do this. no
power on earth exists to force it TO do
its duty either In this or In any other
matter. Should the legislature fail to
do this or fail to perform other duties,
the only recourse the people will have
is to elect the members responsible for
the failure to stay at home next time.
Should the legislature fail to di-
vide the state into four districts, it
will necessitate the election Of a con-
gressman- -at-large at the next election.
This is bunglesome and expensive and
should be avoided only when absolutely
necessary.
1t is very unfair to force candidates
Tor congress to make a canvass OF the
sntire state at both the primary and
on their financial and physical re-
sources and there is no excuse for It.
There are other and graver reasons
why the state should be redistricted at
once and they are obvious.
Taking It for granted. then, that the
next legislature will tackle this i'm
portant job, it should be remarked
that the work is very important one
and Is one that viii require consider
able time and study. A great many in
terests will have to be considered,
Every county every city and every To-
cality should have absolutely a fair
deal. The material, social and politi-
cal interests OF the people should alone
be consulted, and not the interests or
the political fortunes of any present
or potential member OF congress or of
any politician. 1t matters little what
politicians shall be pleased or~dis-
pleased, 1t being only Important to
treat each county with absolute fair
ness.
1t would be a grievous blow to some
member Of congress to cut off from his
district number of counties that give
him his staunchest support and tag on
in lieu thereof a number of counties
where his popularity is weak, wavering
or unknown. But to use an old bro
mide, the legislators should hew to the
line, let the chips fall where they may.
Whatever plans will be presented
will meet with opposition from some
Quarter and the final work will no
doubt be the result of a series of COM
promises, the legislators having to re-
sort to the old rule of give and take.
However, as the next legislature is ap-
parently composed of intelligent and
public spirited men, the outcome will
no doubt be fair and impartial.
In view of these facts and conclu-
sions the following plan is respectful
ly submitted to the powers that be:
