MONDAY. JUNE 80. 1918.
Did Carnegie Gift
Have a String to It?

Andrew Carnegie has stirred up a
great tempest in a teapot by his offer
to give a million dollars to the medi-
cal department OF Vanderbilt Univer-
sity. First, he was accused by friends
of the small medical school under the
auspices of the Episcopal church in
the same city with a desire to kill
that school Vanderbilt is under the
auspices of the Methodist church and
now the bishops of that denomination
say this gift is not a donation but
shrewd attempt to get control of the
church school.
Bishop Warren Gambler, who never
hesitates to give his opinion in print
on any subject, characterizes the gift
as an "impudent proposal of an agnos-
tic steel monger'' and an attempt to
denature the institution.
The church's ownership Of the school
is denied and the matter is now pend
ing in the supreme court of Tennessee.
The bishop says that this offer Is tan
tamount to dangling money before the
public for the purpose Of influencing
this case. The bishop goes on to say
that Carnegie. at one blow, proposes
to kill two UNCONVENTIONAL schools and
build on their ruins a "conagieized
establishment in his own image and
likeness
Bishop Hoss and other dignitaries
of the Methodist church object to the
school accepting the proffered gift.
Whether schools, libraries and the
churches should or should not accept
gifts of tainted money is a question
each institution will have to settle for
itself. But there is only one side to
this proposition and that is that the
laws of the country should make 1t
impossible for one individual to pile
up an immense fortune at the expense
of the whole people. There should be
no protected and ,fostered interests.

The People Who
Leave Us.

Speaker Champ Clark has called at
tention to a leakage in the American
system that is serious and far reaching
in it's effect. He will ask the next
congress to do something to stop the
tide Of American citizens to other
countries. He says the cost of CIV
ing up a real American citizen to be
replaced by an immigrant is heavy. In
one week nearly 1000 American farm
ers with nearly a half million dollars
went into Western Canada to settle.
These people driven out of the middle
west by the high price of lands, were
simply trying to better their condi-
ton and were drawn from the country
by the lure of cheaper lands and more
liberal homestead provisions.
The best of the west has been
taken. For years the great railroads,
aided by the agents of the federal gov
eminent, have extolled the great west
spots have all been sold. While this
has been going on the South has been
entirely ignored. And now these
northwestern farmers are going over
into the bleak and snow-bound regions
of Canada, simply because they are
ignorant of the great opportunities
that await them in the southern states
of this country. where are low priced
fertile lands in abundance and a eli
mate that is unsurpassed.
Florida has more of these oppor-
tunities to offer the home seeker than
any other state These northwestern
IA rnerS need theSe opnortu1itiaS ond
Florida needs these farmers.
1t is a poor economic principle for
the government to permit these thrifty
home seekers to leave the nation sim
ply because they are ignorant of what
this country has to offer them

Tax Burdens.
All Unequal.

1t Is too early to predict what the
new tax commission appointed by
Governor Trammen will do, but 1t is
conceded these gentlemen have a wide
field for research and investigation and
their recommendations may be ex-
tremely valuable. While conditions in
Florida along this line are no worse
than in a majority of the states of the
Union, the tax burdens do not fall on
all with equality. Some of the citi-
zens of this state are paying too much
taxes and others are not paying
enough.
In all probability great deal Of this
trouble lies in a low assessment and
a high rate-mileage as it is COM
monty called. The most adequate rem
edy for this would unquestionably be
a state equalization board or some
such institution.
Perhaps this is an inopportune time
to raise hue and cry about this mat
ter. but it is true that no great reform
can be done along this line under the
present constitution. For this as well
as for other important reasons Florida
badly needs new constitution, but
there seems to be no practical way of
getting this at the present time.
