Hon. J. f. Chace, Mayor of Ocala:
My Dear Sir-I have just been ap-

state statutes, but not so with the city
license. This being the case, /
see no reason why the city council
cannot levy a city license which
would make it absolutely prohibitory.
Instead of having a license Of $3.50
per annum. why not increase it to,
say, $4,000 per annum? And thereby
forever drive them from our midst.
In the name of at least S5 per cent.

AS TO PENSIONS FOR CONFED.
6RATE VETERANS

To the Members OF the legislature:
Gentlemen As far as it has been
possible to ascertain the concensus
of opinion of the United Confederate
Veterans, expressed repeatedly in
camps and reunions in the matter of
pensions, it may be briefly stated as
follows
Keep the pension tax at the present
millage, no more. no less: and. as fast
as the pensioners die off pro rate the
pensions they are receiving among
the survivors, until every pension
amounts to twenty-five dollars per
month
Devise ways and means to purge
the pension rolls of all who are not
justly entitled to the benefits of the
same; but after drawing a pension
all his life when a veteran is dead,
do not deprive his widow of the pen
sion on any pretext whatsoever.
Repeal the property clause from
the pension laws of Florida Let the
pension of an old soldier be a badge
of honor and not badge of poverty
A resolution to this effect has pass
ed unanimously in every division re-
union in Florida.
The only suggestion taat | would
suggest as commander of the state
division would be that no veteran
holding state or county office that
pays a good salary should be allowed
a pension, for the office itself suffices
as a badge of honor
Pay pensions monthly or quarterly,
as preferred. Veterans are divided in
sentiment on this question.
At the Tampa reunion of the Flor
ida division, l was delegated to pre-
sent the above requests to the com
mittee on pensions and through said
committee TO the members of the leg
islature with the hope that they
would receive favorable considera-
ton

MARION'S LEGISLATOR ON THE
MATTER OF PENSIONS

To the Editor Ocala Banner:

those entitled to pensions TO $3.50 per
year 1t also debars the man who
served in the war, if he is worth
$4,000 from receiving a pension.
will not vote for a single cent in
crease OF pensions; I'll not vote to
lower the pension of a pensioner; III
vote to strike out property qualitica-
tion. and give pensions to others.
Look at these facts We had on the
pension roll, January l, 1917, five
thousand forty-nine pensioners: and
on January l. 1907. we had about thir-
ty-two hundred pensioners. In the
last ten years the number of pension
ers has increased 1S49. The total
amount paid out for pensions last
year was 1892 ,3G6.72, and the amount
in 1907-ten years ago-was $751;
010.47 or an increase of $475,356.29
Alabama pays $50 per year Arkan-
sas. $50 Florida. $16320: Georgia.
$6460; Louisiana. 500; Mississippi,
S5432: Missouri, $120; South Caro-
lima. 500: Tennessee. $11S9O; Texas.
500: Virginia. $39-and the Florida
Legislature wants to pay $3.50 per
year.
A pension bill of $3.50 per year
means a tax og $1.S17,640 per year,
against $S32,366.72, an increase Of
nearly s1,0OO,000 per year. 1t means
six mills pension tax
The total state and county taxes
ten years ago was $4,600.00O. In 1917
it will reach s140000O0, an increase
of 300 per cent. in ten years: popula-
ton increase, ~ per cent

Tallahassee, Fla, April II, 1917.
Special to the Ocala Banner:
At a conference with Governor
Cats this morning. the legislative
representatives of the Everglades
counties served notice upon the gov
ernor that the drainage policy recon-
mended by him is not satisfactory to
them and that they will insist on legis-
lation to complete the reclamation
project.
The Everglades members present al
the conference were Senator w. L.
Hughlett of the 18th district, and Rep
resentatives w. H. Marshall OF Brow
ard county, H. c. Hood of Palm Beach
county and ]. w Watson of Dade
county.
What the Everglades representa-
tives think of the governors plan, and
the porgram they want adopted, are
explained in the following statement,
which they presented to Governor
Cats at today's conference.
Tallahassee, Fla, April II, 1917.
To His Excellency, S. J. Cats. Gov
ernor of Florida:
The undersigned, representative of
the part of the state in which is To-
Gated the Everglades district, beg to
represent that we have carefully
gone over the suggestion in your mes
sage to the legislature with reference
TO the subject of Everglades drainage.
We cannot agree with YOU that the
lands should be sold in their present
undrained condition for the price of
So to SIS per acre. If properly re
claimed these lands should be worth
$50 TO $100 per acre, and by assessing
a maximum cost of SO per acre to
drain them we would then have lands
that should command a price OF at
least $50 or $40 per acre above the
cost of reclamation.
If these lands in their present con.
dition are of no value we would be
imposing upon an ill-informed public
to sell them at the price you name
or at any other price, depending upon
haphazard methods of drainage by
private enterprise. What is worse.
this proposition would leave out OF
consideration to great extent the
