What Tuberculosis Costs,

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation half
a million dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value of the
things workers would produce if they
were not suffering from the disease.
To conquer this enemy of the human
race more than $2O,OOO,OOO a year is
expended. That the good work is pro-
crossing is shown by the fact that in
20 years the death rate from tubercu.
losis has been reduced from 245.4 to

The rapid approach of winter means

missionaries who have left their COM
Portable homes and gone to labor in
foreign lands. Especially interesting
in this connection is a recent letter
from Rev. T. F. McCrea, working in
y China under the Southern Baptist
lConvention. Speaking of the discom-
forts of travel in North China in win
ter he gives these interesting expe-
riences:
"We left Hwanghien Monday morn
ing and spent the night in small
inn where we had to sleep in a room
. with a dozen or more muleteers. The
Chinese beds are brick platforms with
plastered top, and are called Hangs.
They have fues underneath for max
ing a fire to warm them. More smoke

"a Chinese inn is large open yard
surrounded by sheds and feeding
troughs for the animals. At the back
are sleeping rooms for travellers and
the mueteers. When we reached this
inn the yard was packed close with
row on row of the packs which the
mules carry on the road. The sheds
were filled and packed tight with feed

great stamping and squealing when

GOVERNOR TRAMMELL
INSISTS ON PAYMENT
Of Bank Licenses and In
Structs Collectors to
Force Payment.

The matter of a number of the State
Banks of Florida failing to, and in
many cases, positively refusing to pay
by the executive office and thoroughly
prosecuted by Governor Park Tram
nell. He has already had an informal
consultation with Attorney General
West on this matter, and the pro-
cedure will probably begin by instruc-
tons being issued to the tax collec-
tors of the various counties in which
are located the banking institutions
that have declined to pay. The tax
collectors and State attorneys in those
counties will be asked to investigate
the matter, levy on the banks if ne
cessary for their license taxes and
even take the matter before the grand
juries in cases where it is deemed nee
essary to prosecute the offending
bankers to that extent. The final out
come will probably be the taking of
test case to the Supreme Court of
Florida. The State banks do not feel
that they should be compelled to pay
tax from which the National banks
are exempt, but in reply it is argued
that if the State banks are allowed TO
dodge this license because the Nation
al banks are not compelled to pay it,
then the merchants and all other bust
ness could decline to pay license be-
cause the banks were exempt, and the
entire license law of the State would
fall flat, useless statute on the books.
Long ago the offending bankers
were reported to the State Comptroll-
er. Tax collectors of the State arc
required to report to the State Comp
troller regularly. The tax collectors
are directly responsible to the State
Comptroller, otherwise they would be
free agents, governments within them
selves, collecting from those whom
they saw fit to tax and exempting
those they chose to favor.
