slightest knowledge of politics TO en-
Joy the play as much as would the

is going to be sent to congress, or who
boosts for his political friend from
the curbstone. The Juvenile Boston

engagement of Running For Office, "

The little actors do not resort to

such manner that they explode like

Although THE HERALD has
from time to time howled about
the poor service given by the At
lantic Coast Line on this division,
our complaints were directed at
the decrepit locomotives the COM
pany was in the habit Of pushing
off on to South Florida. This
trouble has to some extent been
remedied, for better engines are
in use now. And now the Area
dia Enterprise howls about insult
ficient coaches and wants the
howl passed along. Additional
coaches are needed on all passen-
ger trains between Arcadia and
Lakeland, as travel seems to be
unusually heavy between these
points at this season, but south Of
Arcadia there is not now SO great
a need for the trains to carry
more cars.

We are ''taken to task" by the
Tampa Times rs to the intent OF
spirit of section of article TX
of the slate constitution. The
intention Of our esteemed con-
temporary and the application
made of this portion of our or
ganic law may be right, but we
are not yet convinced that IN as
sessment of property ut its real
cash value" for taxation would
he JUST, for at this stage of
Florida's development property
valuations fluctuate too much. A
certain property today may have
value greatly IN excess of the
value it may have month hence,
and on the other hand a present
valuation may greatly increase
within Il few weeks to one per-
son it may be worth more than TO
another. III seems to us as the
situation is in Florida it would be
more JUST to strive for an as
sessment of all property in all
counties on an equalizcd basis
rather than to run the values up
to great figure.

The Fort Myers Press vouches
for the story that Wiley Baxter
of Fort Demand, had combat
with an alligator, during which
the saurian shot Baxter in the
thigh with the latter's 44-calibre
Colts revolver, inflicting very
serious wound. No doubt that the
alligator learned his tactics from
a Punta Gorda tarpon, which,
having been hooked last week by
Claude LeFils of Chicago, who
was fishing in these waters, rush
ed furiously at the boat, sprang
from the water, struck LeFils
square in the breast, knocking
him out of the boat, shot him
with duck-gun that was lying
in the boat. The man, when haul
ed from the water by the guide,
was unconscious, but he had es-
capped the shot fred at him by the
indignant fish. And the tarpon,
too, escaped.

TAX DEEDS RENDERED VOID

The Jacksonville Metropolis
has the following important edi
torial mention of jury verdict
in the Circuit Court of DIVA
county which, if sustained by the
Supreme Court, will render voio
nearly every tax deed issued in
the State, as in very few cases
have thirty-five days interviewed
between the first publication of a
delinquent tax list and the day OF
sale. The Metropolis says:
by jury verdict, directed
from the bench, in the Circuit
Court Tuesday, virtually every
tax deed obtained in Duval coun-
ty since the year 1907 is void.
"An act of the Legislature of
1907 provides that the tax list
shall be published once each week
for five consecutive weeks in some
newspaper published in the coun-
ty, said newspaper to be selected
by the Board of County Commits
sioners at it's first meeting in Feb
ruary.
"The court found that in 1908,
when the plaintiff in the case of
Townsend VS.. Brown obtained a
tax deed title to the property in
volved, the tax list was publish
ed five times, but there were not
thirty-fve days intervening be-
tween the time the publication of
the list began and the sale took
place, as required by the law. The
tax deed was therefore held void
by the court.
"The case will probably be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, and
the mattermdefnitely decided by
the State 3 highest tribunal. In
that event, the effect Of the decis-
ION will be Statewide. The mat
ter is Of much Importance and
decision from the Supreme Court
will be eagerly awaited"

\ Another thought on the subject
Of taxation:it occurs to us that it
is very inf1aquently if ever that
the nillage reduced when prop
erty valuations are increased. On
present valuati0ns in Florida all
the money needed for state and
county governments is being OBJ
tanned Why should valuations
be increased? What it might be
sought to accomplish is the equal
ization of taxes, and as between
counties this might be accomplish
ed by an equalization of values
but not necessarily by increasing
values.

Their defeat in the battle of the
Marine was so complete, he said, that
it will be very hard for the Germans
to prevent complete disaster to at
least part of their forces which are
now in grave danger of being cut of
by the onward rush of their pursuers.
According to the officials of the
war Office, the battle of the Marine,
as the great conflict of last week is
now referred to in official circles,
was the greatest in history so far
as the number of men were con-
cerned.

STOCK HOLDERS OF BANKS

Bank Commissioner John M.

Such assessments were made on stock hold CTS of banks in Magazine, Pine Bluff, Stuttgart, Higden, and Huntington. So far there has been no evidence of a disposition to test the law, which is now being enforced for the first time in the state. The law is very explicit, holding stockholders liable for twice amount of their stock.

OFFICIAL RETURNS ON
 ACTS AND AMENDMENTS
Child Labor Law Received Largest Number of Ballots. Publicity Bill Voted. Become Effective on
 Proclamation of Gov.

Little Rock, Sept. 3O.-Complete official returns of the election held Sept. Il. on file in the office of the Secretary of State, show total vote of136,517 cast for governor, divided as follows; George W. Hays, Demo crat, 94,096; A. L. Kinney, Republican 3O,9S7; Dan Hogan, Socialist, 10,434 The State Board of Election Commits sioners meet today to canvass the re- turns and declare the result.
 The complete official vote on the various acts and amendments is as follows:
 Act. No. 1 (Child Labor Law)-For 72,313; against 25,300.
 Act No. Publicity Act)-For, 55,552; against, 40,72S.
 Amendment No. II Municipal Bonds)-For, 54.7S2, against 40,444.
 Amendment No Is. Legislative Governor)-For, 43,919; against 51,- 101.
 Amendment No. 15 Legislative Salary)-For, 46,572; against, 51,77S.
 For saloon license, 33, 33O; against license, 67,9S0.
 The proposed amendments provid- ing for lieutenant governor and for legislative salaries, submitted by the Legislature, not only failed to receive a majority of the total vote cast, but did not receive a majority vote east on the subject, and are therefore de- feated.
 The Bond Amendment did not re- ceive majority of the total vote, but it received a majority of 14,341 on that subject, and having been sub mitted under the Initiative and Refer endum, has carried.
 The Publicity Act, being a statute, required only majority of the vote cast on the subject, and it received 14,S24, running only 4S3 ahead of the Bond Amendment. r It is interesting to note that there was an average of only 95,000 votes cast on the acts and amendments, in- dicating a very considerable degree of indifference or ignorance on the part of the voters, over forty thou sand of them not having voted at all on these subjects. A further notable coincidence that will be observed Is that the total number not voting is about the same as the combined vote of the Republicans and Socialists. On the other hand, there was to- tai of 121, ,310 votes cast on the liquor question, only 15,207 having failed to vote, and this aggregate majority IT the state against license IS l4,65O.
