Supt. Sheats "Agin' Woman Suf-

Pensacola Journal: The following
extract from the Associated Press re-
port of the proceedings of the Ma
ional Educational Association at st
Paul has a peculiar interest to Flori-
dams. The report says:
Only one incident marred the har-
mony of today's meeting. When H
0. Thompson, University of Ohio
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee, had finished reading the report
pertaining to woman suffrage, W. M
Sheats of Florida, leaped to his feet
81 want to know what the COM
mittee means by political equality OF
the Sexes" he shouted.
"Any man that does not know what
political equality means is in the kin
dergarten of American politics" re-
torted Thompson with heat,
CAS- representative of the south
| cannot but present the protest Of
two-thirds of the southern womer
against woman's suffrage" persisted
Sheats. His last words died amid g
storm of laughs and loud applause
greeted the passage of the resolution.
From this it is quite evident that
the distinguished head of Florida
public school system is opposed tt
any plan whereby a woman schoo
teacher might ever become a super.
intendent of public instruction in this
state

CARRANZA AND
THE LAND TAX.

There are at least two views of
Carranza, head of the Constitution
ialist momevent in Mexico. To one
class he is the bandit dictator of
northern Mexico" By another class
his partisan friends-he has been
exalted as one who seeks the pacifi-
cation of Mexico by armed interview
ton only in order that he may lead
in a popular government for the ma
ny, instead Of the few.
But whatever he may be, Carran-
"a has ideas of taxation worthy Of
consideration. In recent newspa-
per interview he is represented as
saying;
Where land is needed for distri-
button it will be readily forthcom-
ing. The taxation of undeveloped
property will make big landown-
ers willing to sell.
That Carranza knows something
about taxation is further shown by
his relr;lk that he founl in Saltiilo
that "the novels Of the poor were APP
praised at their full value, while the
mansions of the rich were appraised
at ridiculously low figures" and he
declared that the first official act Of
his government would be an accur-
Rte appraisal of all property.
This idea of taxing the unoccupied
fertile area of Mexico into use, is a
much better proposition than buying
out" the owners of great estates run
ming into the millions of acres and
(which today pay little or no taxes.
For it remains true in Mexico, as it
does in every other country, that ma
turaI resources of wealth can be tax
ed into use, so that no one who desires
employment need be for a moment
idle.
Mexico can easily support in COM
fort 10O,000,000 people, It's poverty
and unsettled condition is in the main
raused by the rule of the superior
class, which has relieved itself Of tax
es and placed all the burdens of gov
eminent on the backs of their Gin
feriors." Carranza has some glim-
mering of this, and therefore if he is
bandit, he is at least a bandit with
some good ideas of taxation.

The Matterhorn.

The MatterhOrn. in the Swiss can

the altitude of 14,705 feet In July Of
1865 the highest peak was first scaled
by a party of Englishmen, consisting
of Lord Francis Douglas, the Rev. G.
Hudson. Hadow and Whymper, with
three guides, when the three first

The supreme court of the State has
held that the "Blue Sky Law regu-

c. H. Taylor of Jacksonville, who
was refused a permit by the Comp
troIler to sell stock of certain COM
pany in this State, which had not
complied with the stringent provis-
ions Of this law. When a man asks
you to purchase stock in any enter
prise, ask him to show you the Comp
troller's permit. If he hasn't this in
his inside pocket, beware; the chances
are he is a confidence man, and a
swindler.

tween the state tax commissioners
and the county assessors. We have
no ideda that there will be unanimous
acquiescence. If not, the burden Of
taxation will fall with increased
weight upon those counties which do
raise their assessments.
1t is calculated that Hillsborough
county will have to raise its aggre-
gate assessments from S18,000,000 to
a figure above $30,000,000; in other
words, we will have to add to the
figures of last years tax roll an
amount equal to two-thirds Of those
figures and more. And then, if our
assessor does that and it is discov-
cred that some of the other counties
have failed to come into the concert,
what will our county do about it?

Over at Pensacola where the COM
mission form of municipal govern
ment has been in vogue for some
time, the people have become so
much dissatisfied with the work of
the commissioners that a petition is
being circulated for their recall. The
commission form of government it
seems, is not altogether perfect, its
success or failure being largely due
to the honesty and ability of the com
sinrers.
