There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t
local disease and prescribed local reme-
dies and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
uuires constitutional treatment. Hairs
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. 1t IS
taken internally 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

GERMANS
MOD ES T.
PROGRAM.

Professor DIETRICH Schaefer
makes significant admission
about Belgium in the "Taegliche
Rundschhau," in which he de-
scribes Germany's modest pro-
gram" of annexation:
at is necessary for us to seize
all territory, be 1t in the east or
west, that might be used by more
or less antagonistic neighbors as
a springboard for an attack on
Germany. Let us not forget that
a second time we should not so
easily be, able to cross the Bel
GUM frontier as we were on the
last occasion, especially II the
enemy had in his possession the
valuable iron and coal-yielding
areas which we need.
"To secure ourselves against
such a contingency we must keep
the territory which is now in our
occupation, and hold it militarily,
politically and industrially.
In the west we must have in
our hands Belgium-the whole of
it; in the east, Poland, Courland,
Lithuania, and the territories be-
longing to the governments of
Wilma and Grodno. This is quite
a modest program as compared to
that Of the enemy"

TODAY's TAX MEETING.

Inasmuch as no property is restored to
the tax books until all back taxes have been
paid and inasmuch as a tax sale, under
present laws, does not give a valid title
the only method of forcing payment
it is no wonder that the property assess
able steadily dWindles and that the rate on
the remnant steadily rises,
This explains the anomaly of increasing
valuation and decreasing values during the
years of depression: a system which II tOl-
lowed to its inevitable conclusion would
mean that one or two pieces of property
must ultimately pay the entire freight, if
every ten years or so the legislature didn't
pass such laws as the act Of 1915 cancelling
all tax Indebtedness prior to 1893, and the
pending Jones bill, providing for the re
demptiOn of tax certificates at the legal
rate of interest Is per cent? instead of the
usuri0us and unjust penalties of % per cent
the first year, 25 per cent the second year,
and s per cent for each subsequent year or
fraction thereof.
Furthermore, the man who is in arrears
must pay all his county and state taxes or
n0ne-Which deprives the public eXCheQuer
Of much revenue. The more logical method
is that adopted by Pensacola, allowing the
payment of each years taxes separately.
Lastly, if through sickness or misfor-
tune. a man were to fall into arrears, why
should he pay the outrageous penalties
when he knows that simply by sitting tight
he will eventually force the state to a legal
rate:
If jhis years tax sales are confirmed
that is, removed from the bOOks-0nly half
the assessabe valuation of Tscambia
county will be contributing to the public
expenses. Of course the 8 per cent re
demrtiOn law would afford relief by in
creasing the property available for assess
ment; but it would be only temporary, for
the Jones bill does not eliminate tire penal
ties, it does not establish valid title from
tax sale, it does not permit the separate
payment of back taxes.
This is the problem that a public meet
