6-CENT VERDICT
FOR ROOSEVELT
Wins In Libel Action Against
Michigan Editor
VICTORY WAS SWEEFING one
Charges of Drunkenness Against the
Colonel By Editor Newett DisprOyed
to the Satisfaction of Himself and
COunsel-Case Closed.

Theodore Roosevelt at Marquette
Mich, annihilatel his enemies, ard in
his suit against Editor Newettt, who
had charged him with drunkenness,
won victory as sweeping, trium-
phant and complete as a victory could
possibly be. The defense hung dog
gedly on and compelled Colonel Roose-
welt to put in every scrap of evidence
he had. And then it blew up like a
Russian battleship in the Straits of
Japan.
When the prosecution rested Edi-
tor Newett read statement admit
ting he had no case and was himself
convinced that his charges were un-
true. Mr.. Roosevelt, in a brief ad-
dress to the court, said he only want
ed to forever destroy the ISLANDERS ut
tered against him and that he was
satisfied with vindication and askel
that the jury be instructed to return
a verdict for nominal damages.
The court instructed the jury to
this effect and without leaving their
seats the jurymen gave verdict in
behalf of Colonel Roosevelt for 6
cents, the smallest sum considered
under the Michigan statutes.

JUST A FAILURE.
Expedition Gives Up Search for $1S,
0G0,000 Cache on COcOs Island.

Expedition Gives Up Search for $751;
OGO,000 Cache on COCos Island.
Failure of another expedition sent
in quest of a legendary $1S,OO0,OOO
treasure cache on Cocos island in the
South seas, has been recorded with
the arrival at San Francisco of the
British steamer Melmore. These ia
bed mines, according to a dying sail
or, were buried on Cocos island by
officials of the Peruvian church early
in the last century. Mrs. Barry Till
and Miss Davis, English women, were
told by the sailor on his death bed Of
his knowledge of the location Of the
cache. The women succeeded in in
teresting their capitalists, and the
Melmore was purchased for the eX-
petition. Mrs. TIL and Miss Davis
accompanied the party and directed
operations of the fortune-hunters.
After many weary months of labor
with pick and shovel the searchers
gave up their quest and started home
ward. The Melrose put in at Panama,
where the two women and others of
the party left the vessel to proceed
homeward by the most direct route.
Within the last fifty years half doz-
en- expeditions, equipped with ample
funds have been dispatched to Cocos
island to search for gold.

MORE CONCERNING
COUNTY TAXES

Palatka, Fla, June 4th, 1913.
Editor The News:-
Please publish this, which J
hope will cause "Pro Bono Publlco''
and others who favor high property
values to change their way of think
ing during the time that we have no
system for equalizing the values in
the different counties Of the state, as
is the case now.
We have a heavy state tax, and
for one, or any one County to increase
values, it at once increases the
amount to be paid by the property
owner.
Just a day or two ago | was in
formed that in one of our lower Coun-
ties there were in two herds of cat
tie about one hundred thousand head
and only about ten per cent of these
on the tax roll. Up lands at two
dollars per acre and low wet lands at
fifty cents, and great deal of this
area low and wet. See the average
value and compare with ours as they
are now, and then compare as how
it would be after we, in Putnam
county, would increase values, and see
who would be paying the larger por-
ton of state taxes.
Here are the figures to show how
it would work: For instance, you
have $1,000 value on tax roll, aU
present you pay % and one half
mills, state and county. Say we
double this and bring the mills down
SO as to make it the same to be paid
NV tbn
would then have IA and one quarter
mills for state and county. On this
increased value $4,000, we must fig
ure and one half mills for state
and pay on this $500, and for the
County we would have ouly and
three quarter mills left, which would
be $3.50 ouly on the $4,000 whereas,
we would get with 21 mills $2l.O0
on the $1,000. The County's loss
$3.50 has gone to the state.
Again, if it requires now 21 mills to
meet the present needs of our county,
how could we get it without additional
millage? and to get the same as now,
81 more mills would have to go on.
which would increase each tax pay
er's amount 1918 on each 81 900, or
$3.50 on the $4,000 after increasing
values. Add this to your $3.50 and
you only have your $21.OO for the
county, and you are out $3.50 more
tax money and the state gets it.
Now, if these figures are right, why
clamor for change until there is a
better system for all counties to pay
alike?
l write this simply to put before
the tax payers for their consideration
and interests, for do not wish to be
held up, and written up and thought
of as one who desires to go contrary
to the wishes of a majority,or act
detrimental to the interests of all.
My pay would be just as much and
more to increase values, and while l
need it,yet am not working for that
purpose, but to keep your money in
Putnam County.
