experience in naval stores operations,
in which the Florida convfcts are
mostly used.
The bill provides for the establish

an appropriation of 500, 900 from the

tax commission of three members.

so in allowing the men to get the

state in the matter OF expenditures.
Needless to say, though, Senator Gull
pepper, one Of the best men in the up
per house, expects long prayed for tax
reforms in case the tax commission Is
established.
If there is anything that the bill
does not allow the tax commissioners
TO do. from prying into corporate

victs, and the second OF females and
inf1rm hospital subjects. On January
], 1914, or as soon as possible there
after. all convicts of the second grade
are to be placed on the prison farm.
Leasing to Counties.
The bill provides for the abolition
of the system not later than four years
from next January. Counties will be
given an opportunity to lease convicts
at the same price paid for them by
the lessees, the convicts to be used on
the public roads. This plan will go
into effect about the first of July, this
year. The commissioners Of any coun-
ty can make application to the board
of state institutions for whatever num-
Der of convfcts such counties desire
to work on the roads, and if the coun-
ties should not take all the convicts
then the board of state institutions
can lease the remainder to private
parties.
Payment for Convicts.
The bill further provides that coun-
ties leasing conivcts shall pay per
capita per annu1n the Same amount
as is paid by private lessees. This
plan of requiring the counties to pay
such price for the conVists is simply
a matter of justice to counties which
uo not take cOnV1CJS Tor road work.
All funds derived from the hire OF con-
Vtcts. whether TO counties or private
lessees. shall go into the state prison
fund. From this state prison f,u-d
there will be appropriated for the year
1914 the sum of $4,000 10 the stste
prison farm. and each year thereafter
as long as the Lease shall run OF the
counties shall continue TO take CON
Vtcts for road work, the sum Of SIS
900 shall be appropriated. These ap-
propri=tti ons will be made for the plIr-
pose Of continuing Improvement work
on the prison farm and maintaining

tenn. All monies over and above the
appropriated for this purpose
will be prorated among the counties
according to the value of ia xable prop

SUFFRAGETTES
LOSE FIGHT IN
FLORIDA HOUSE
WILL WAGE A MORE VIGOROUS
CAMPAIGN IN THE NEXT TWO
YEARS FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
BY FRANK L. HUFFAkER.

Tallahassee. May I've have lost
the fight TO have the woman suffrage
amendment submitted to the people
but that defeat means that we have
just begun to fight and we'll win tvTo
years from now
This ultfInatuTn was given voice to
Thursday afternoon by the delegation
of prominent Florida woman who have
made two long trips to Tallahassee In
behalf OF equal citizenship and there
was a world Of determination and
meaning behind the words. In fact,
even Legislators vino opposed the sub
mission Of the suffrage amendment
sdrdt that but few years VIII pass
before Florida women will have the
privilege Of voting. and the suffrage
'warTfor-iettes" are determined TO wage
a campaign for two years that will
bring success without fail next time.
II had hoped Florida would distin-
gtIish herself by being the first south
ern state to vote in favor of equal suf-
frage,'' said Mrs. Louise Locke. a
charming matron Of Jacksonville.
However. the fight Is on in earnest
now. and the next legisla tIre win un-
doubleday be favorable"
The gentlenranly reception accorded
us even by Legislators who are AVOID
eddy opposed TO equal suffrage" said
Miss Jeanette Rankin, wbo was sent

quarters Of the Equal Suffrage League
at Washington. certainly speaks well
for the gentIeness and chiva.rv OF the
men of Florida. Not one rude word
has married our brief campaign. which
is decidedly unusual Had a vigorous
campaign been waged for the past six
months. our cause undoubtedly would
have won
