Taxpayers League.

The Taxpayers League proceedings
held at Rathdrun', Idaho, Feb. 70,
1916:
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Martin PoleSon, and
proceedings were bad in regular order.
A great many topics were discussed
that were deemed to be of very vital
interest to the public in general.
Among them, way our tax
money is being spent. by some of our
officers in trust. Also the desirabili-
ty of having township organization,
where all the people would be &C
quainted With the conditions of all
their taxable property and almost any
ordinary citizen would be competent
of sitting 10 his home window and
placing fair valuation on all
property IN the township wherein he
resides. at very small compensation,
whereas under the present methods
thousands upon thousands of dollars
are being spent by office seekers and
incompetent citizens, in most cases
having nothing at stake.
1t was agreed that we would wake
up and renew our efforts % enlighten-
ing the general public or taxpayers
on every topic that is to their vital
Interest on or before our next general
election, that we may have a cor
trolling power to nominate and elect
people that have proved that they are
capable and are willing to serve the
people in an honest and business-like
way for a fair compensation, and
place those of our servants or should
be" servants, on the road with a pack
on their back where they should be.
To that end the members present
subscribed their word and honor.
Also, it was declared that we want
Taxpayers leagues all over the county,
that will take an active interest in
the county as whole and not for
any city, town or private citizen;
that thereby we may set an example
before our state and every tax-ridden
state in the union.
We agreed that the people have the
power. All that is lacking is en-
forcement.
The date of the next regular meet
ing is Saturday afternoon, March IL.

N. NELSON.

One of the receivers of the National
Salt company testified in court that
certain trademark was considered "a
valuable asset" as it was the brand of
salt that brought the highest price and
had good market
Asked how this salt was different
from other salts sold by the company,
the receiver, hesitating, admitted that
there was no difference; that they all
came out of the same kettle. When
the court then inquired what caused
the high price and good market for
this particular product the witness re-
piled:
"Simp1y the extensive and attrac-
tive advertising the brand got"
One thought suggested by this curl
Gus confession is the testimony 1t
bears as to the efficacy of advertising
to create "a valuable asset" even
where, as in this-let us hope excep-
tional-instance the advertiser was
not quite candid about the quality of
the goods.-New York Herald.

LOCALREG|sTRAR
WANTED IN EACH !
VOTING PRECINCT

The state board of health is now
preparing ito put into operation
throughout the state of Florida the
Vital Statistics law, which requires
the registration of all births and
deaths.
The law provides that local regis
trar shall be appointed in each NUM-
cipality and voting precinct. 1t is the
duty of the local registrar to look aft
er the reporting of the births and
deaths and for this service he shall
receive fee of rs cents for each birth
and death reported to the state board
of health.
In many of the voting precincts and
towns no local registrar has yet been
appointed and it may be possible to
secure such appointment by writing
to the state board of health. The rec
ords' of births and deaths procured
under this law will be of great value
for legal purposes to citizens of the
state and indispensable to the state
board of health in keeping touch with
the health conditions of each commun-
ity.

MURDERER Of
4. ]. STRICKLAND
CAUGHT IN TAMPA
FOUND ASLEEP IN AN OLD
HOUSE IN TAMPA

Frank Houston, the negro who shot
and killed H. J. Strickland, a white
man, at road camp of the Edwards
Construction company near Largo, on
Saturday night, was arrested in Tam
pa soon after noon yesterday. Pinellas
county officers were notified that the
negro was in Jail there and that he
had confessed to the killing but that
he stated he fired in self-defense.
There seemed to be a question yes
terday whether the negro would be
kept in Jail there for time or brought
back to this county at once.
The negro was arrested in an old
house in Tampa by Detective Lennon
and Joe Robinson, negro officer. When
the officers learned that he was in the
house they entered, one by the back
way and one by the front way. He
was asleep when they found him.
When he was awakened by the detec-
tives he reached for his gun, but the
detective was too quick for him and
got the drop on him..
The negro said he went into the
woods after the shooting and came to-
wards Tampa. He had had nothing to
eat and remained in the woods until
Sunday night when he started to walk
to Tampa over the Tampa & Gulf
Coast tracks. He arrived at Gary and
proceeded to the house where Detec-
tive Lennon and Joe Robinson finally
trailed him, through description fur
nished by Pinellas county officials.
A late version of the story of the
killing is that Strickland was called
to the scene of his death by a negro
woman to stop a quarrel. This Hous-
ton denies, but his statements along
this line were vague and in some re-
spects conflicting. = St. Petersburg
Times.

Thanksgiving,
Yes, AS Usual

Since 1868 the national Thanksgiv-
ing has been observed on the last
Thursday of November. This year
that day ends the month, and enter
prising merchants with an eye to the
holiday trade, which does not start
on it's broadest lines until after
Thanksgiving, have urged that the
yearly feast of gratitude and praise
be fixed for this occasion on the third
Thursday of the month. 1t is announc-
ed at Shadow Lawn that the presi-
dents proclamation will not depart
from the usual practice.
Such is the force of custom. New
England originated Thanksgiving and
for many years upheld it on theologi
cal grounds as a rival of Christmas.
1t had frequent occasion to offer
thanks, but the November feast be-
came the principal religious holiday
of the year, and in Civil war times
President Lincoln gave it national
sanction. The last Thursday of the
eleventh month is not exactly an an
anniversary, but in spite of the inter-
ests of merchants or the preferences
of society, it can no more be changed
than independence Day can be set
back a month to suit the convenience
of tourists and owners of summer
homes.
We are ruled largely by institution
alism. The holiday trade is wonder
full factor in our national life, but he
would be brave man who undertook
to put Thanksgiving Day aside in it's
interest.-New York World. S..

She Took the
Cash All Right

New York.-Miss Edith Kitching
has recovered from her attack of scru-
Piles over accepting the $4,000 be-
quest from her uncle, an old recluse
and money lender. She said first the
money was tainted and no one could
drag it to her or her to it.
Later she said she'd think it over.
Now she's settled the moral issues in
volved and yesterday compromised
when an additional SIS, 86O.44 started
coming her way from the same source.
A supplemental report filed in
Brooklyn in the transfer of proceed
ings on the estate of Francis F. Rip
ley, testator, showed there would be
a total of $119, s6O.44 for Miss Kitch-
ing when all the claims had been paid.
The heiress strongly disapproved of
her uncle and his methods. He died
on November II, 1915, in cheap fur
nished room in Brooklyn.

TIDE OF BATTLE
GOES AND COMES
IN OLD WORLD

London, Oct. 24.-The Dobrudja re-
gion of Rumania APPARENTLY is being
overrun by the forces of the Teutonic
allies.
Constanza, Rumania's chief seaport
and fortress on the Black sea, already
has fallen into the hands of the troops
of the right wing of Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's army, while the left
wing is nearing the town of Tcherna-
voda, where the Danube is spanned by
the bridge of the railroad running
from Constanza to Bucharest. Near
the center of their front, which ex-
tends across Dobrudja from the sea to
the Danube, the invaders have cut the
railroad near Murfatler, and pushed
their troops "far beyond" the railway
line, according to Berlin.
Before the rapid advance of the Ger
mans, Bulgarians and Turks-rapid
despite heavy rains and soggy ground
the Russians and Rumanians are in
retreat along the entire front, but ac-
cording to Petrograd are offering
stubborn resistance.
British Make Gains on Somme Front
Aside from the operations in Dob
rudja, another British smash at the
German line in the Somme region of
France, which Melted them more than
thousand yards of trenches east Of
Gueudecourt and Les Boeufs and car
ried their front a step nearer the
Beaupaume-Peronne road, is the most
notable incident of the fighting on
any of the front. A gain described by
Paris as "appreciable" also is record
ed for the French northeast of Morval
which lies just to the south of the re-
gion where the British and Germans
were in contact.
1 Berlin, touching upon the fighting
against the British and French Sun
day between LIE Sars and Rancourt,
says the attack. of~tlfe Entente allies
were sanguinarily repulsed. 1t is. adj
mitted in the German official commun-
ication that the Germans withdrew
Sunday night from the north of Chaul-
mes, south of the Somme, to a pre-,
pared position lying east of the north
ern part Of the Chaulnes wood.
On the Pennsylvania front stubborn
fighting still is in progress between
the Teutonic allies and the Roumani-
!, ans for the mountain passes and the
territory inside Rumania which has
been captured by the Austro- Germans
| The Russians having been cleared
from the Narayuvka river region Of
Galicia, the Austro- Germans have
hurled a violent attack against other
forces of Emperor Nicholas north of
Brody, near the Volhynia- Galicia bor-
der. The attack was repulsed, accord
ing to Petrograd.

IN TAMPA
YESTERDAY; STILL WITH
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

Kent Pendleton, "The man who
wouldn't be fred" is in the city today
on business for the Anti-Saloon
league. Mr.. Pendleton, who has been
making headquarters at Jacksonville
since he accepted the position with the
league before the June primaries, is
looking we'll and says that like Mark
Twain, reports of my death are
greatly exaggerated"
IT am still with the league and ex-
pect to be for some time" is all Mr..
Pendleton would say about the row be-
tween him and Don McMullen, brought
about by McMullen's efforts to have
Pendleton fired because of prognos-
tication the latter put out before the
primaries in which he stated that Mr..
Knott would be the probable winner.
Mr.. Pendleton is still with Knott and
hopes to see him elected the next gov
ernor of Florida. However, he would
not discuss the political campaign at
this time.-Tampa Times.

BIG PROFITS IN
TRUCK FARMING
LAND 0 MANATEE

Immense crops such as are raised
here are not understood by people liv-
ing elsewhere" says the Palmetto
News, talking of the strawberry and
vegetable crops. "In sections where
carload is a big amount to send out
in a week or two, it is not easy to be-
lieve the daily reports that go from
Palmetto during the season. The local
ice plant at Palmetto, which has a
daily capacity of eighty tons, is max
ing ready to assist in handling the
biggest crop ever raised in that Sec
ton. The News quotes the manager
of the ice plant as estimating that the
part of the crop he will be arranging
to ice will be $500 cars. In order to
have no delays the ice man at Pal
metto stores up thousands of tons of
ice ahead of the shipping season and
then keeps his plant going right along.
Just as suggestion as to the profits
of truck farming in the Palmetto sec
ton the News says that while some
farmers make a thousand dollars an
acre, clear profit, an average, with
good weather and fair markets should
be about half that amount-which is
not a figure to laughed over or lightly
considered when you come to think
of it.
