A special board of equalization of
taxes for each county, would be a
source of much revenue to Marion
and the other counties. There are
many large land owners who are not
paying sufficient taxes; if they were,
many miles of hard roads could be
built without the necessity of circulat-
ing contribution lists.-Summerfield

On account of the fact that the
Southern Settelemnt and Develop
ment Organization has no land to buy
or to sell it has secured the conf
dence of prospective investors and
settlers and at this time inquiries are
pouring into the various agencies of
the organization and at headquarters
not only from people who desire to
settle here but from financiers who
desire to have opportunities for in
vestment placed before them. One
inquiry recently was from party
who desires from 100000 to 100000
acres of land for colonization pur-
poses. The manager of the Florida
department, Mr. Richardson, has
placed before this party several pro-
positions which it is hoped may be
acceptable. A few days ago there was
sent out from the Florida head
quarters in Jacksonville, lists of over
100 prospective settlers who had their
eyes on this state. These lists were
sent to the land companies and land
owners who are supporting this great
work, with the request that they send
their pamphlets and information to
each of these prospects and the gen.
eral agents throughout the country
of the organization will call upon
these prospective settlers and aid in
every way to land them in the land
of opportunity, the state of Florida.

The Chronicle believes that this
state should have a law which pro-
vides that the tax collectors books
should have a column which would
give the names and addresses of
every land owner and that on the
first day of each November the tax
collectors send to each land owner a
postal card notifying said land
owner that his taxes are due and
giving the amount and the discounts
allowed if paid before a certain date.
This system is in force in many
states and helps materially in the
collections and reduces the tax sales
list more than so per ceht.-Summer-

HOLLAND MODELLING ARMY
Queen WiIhelmina's Order Arouses
Dutch Cities-Signs of Military
Preparations on All Sides.

Amsterdam, Aug. 4.-That Holland
is in the midst of war is evident here.
On all sides there are signs of mill
tary preparation.
The mobilization ordered by Queen
Wilhelmina was so readily answered
that the operation was soon complet-
ed. The peaceful streets of the sleepy
Dutch cities presented an unwonted
aspect. Troops are constantly moving
and are being lodged in the public
buildings.
The mobilization decree caused
panic among the poorer classes. There
was a frantic run on savings banks;
crows beseiged the shops for food
supplies and the excitement increased
when the postoffice, railways and COM
mercial houses refused to give coin
for notes.
A bill has been presented to parlia-
ment authorizing the mayors in the
various towns to seize supplies and
sell them to the public and thus avoid
their being held up and prices raised.
