COMMISSIONERS ASKED TO
LOWER TAXES BY GOV

Tallahassee, Fla, July II. toy
ernor Park Trammell today wrote to
the county commissioners and the
members of the county school board
of every county in Florida, calling
attention to the fact that tax as
sessment values have been increased
in a number of the counties, and
urging that, in order that the bur
den of taxation may be made and
kept as light as possible, correspond
ing reductions be made in the mill
age levied by the county board.
The letter written by Governor
Trammell to the members of the
county boards is as follows:
State of Florida, Executive
Chamber, Tallahassee. July %, 1914.
My Dear Sir-In view of the fact
that more or less increase has been
made in the total assessment values
in large number of the counties or
the State for this years assessment,
write to urge that as far as can
possibly be done your board reduce
the tax millage in your county in
proportion to the raise in tax valua-
tions. While | believe in progress
and development, | am equally as
strong in my opinion that every reas-
enable precaution and effort should
be exerted to make and keep the
burden of taxation as light as pos
sible.
"In every county where there has
been any substantial raise in assess
ment valuations, | think the board
of county commissioners and the
county school board should make a
corresponding substantial reduction
in the millage tax levy.
yours very truly,
park TRAMMELL,
Governor.

NATIONWIDE SHOE
MAKING CONTEST

Washington, July 27.-A nation
wide shoemaking contest just
brought to close by the awarding
of two army contracts to the win
ners, produced 24O pairs of the most
perfect samples of military footgear
ever manufactured according to the
board of army experts who passed
upon them.
Next to the quality of the gun he
carries" said one Of these army eX-
perts, more depends upon the con-
dition of the shoe he wears than
upon any other factor that goes to-
ward the makeup of an effective
soldier. :"
AS a result of this feeling, the
limited States army quartermasters
have evolved shoe which, they say,
makes the American fighting man
the best shod soldier in the world
1t took over a year of continual
and careful experiment before salts
factory results were reached. Count
less X-Ray photographs were made;
the position Of the bones Of the feet
were noted and the anatomy before,
during and after marches were seud-
led and compared All this time dill
ferent models were tried and the
ories were worked out. Finally the
TYNE of shoe was evolved with its
straight line on the big-toe side, its
snug instep and a chance for the
toes to lie as freely and naturally as
in a moccasin.
When the theory of scientifically
covering the foot had been estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the army
experts, various manufacturers
placed their plants at the armys dis
posal in the hope they would be
awarded with the valuable contracts
to supply the six thousand pairs
worn out in a years marching for
Uncle Sam.
But the quartermaster corps did
not limit itself to a single firm. They
worked out system of having each
firm submit sample of what it
could do. Two pairs of shoes were
offered by each bidder, showing the
manufacturers ability to meet speci-
fications.
The 240 prize pairs Of shoes were
the result, and out of these are be-
ing selected the standard for the
army's future footgear.
