CHAPTER z4o2-(No. I'D


AN ACT to Restore to the Tax Books OF
Bradford County Certain Lands Withdrawn
from the List of Taxable Property of Said
County by Reason of the Purchase by the
State of Lands in said County, known as the
State Prison Farm, and to Provide for the
Assessment and Collection and Payment of
Taxes Thereon for County Purposes; Pre-
scribing Certain Duties in Relation Thereto
of the Board of Commissioners of State
Institutions, and for Other Purposes In
cdental Thereto.
Whereas, By Chapter s4oI, of the Acts of
1900, and Chapter 6I34 of the Acts of 1911,
and purchases by the Board of Commissioners
of State Institutions of the State of Florida.
approximately eighteen thousand acres of land
in Bradford County, Florida, now known as
the State Prison Farm, were taken from the
Tax Rolls of said county, and the said county
has thereby been deDrved of the revenue from
the assessment and collection of taxes thereon,
for the reason that they then became State
lands not subject TO taxation; and
Whereas, The said lands before said pur-
chase we're not lands owned by the State Gov
ernment in its sovereign capacity exempt from
taxation, but were purchased and have since
been used for a business purpose, to-wit
general farming and the raising of products for
sale, from which the State derives a revenue,
thereby benefting the whole State at large.
and reducing thereby the expenses thereby of
all the counties in the State IN the caring for
and maintenance of convicts; and this with
drawa of land from county taxation places
upon Bradford County burden of taxation of
which the other counties of the State receive
benefit; and
Whereas, Public buildings and land owned
and used by the State in its sovereign capacity
for wholly governmental purposes should not
be assessed for taxation, but when the State
exercises functions not strictly governmental,
but in competition with the citizens of the State,
by the raising of products for sale, such as
cotton, potatoes, cane, and other products, it
is but fair that the State should share its pro-
portionate part of the expenses of government;
and It is not contemplated by the Constitution,

nor is it the policy of the law that lands owned
by the State and SO used as the State Prison
Farm is now being used, should be exempted
from the burden OF the expense of government
OF the county in which such lands are located;
and
Whereas, In the conduct of said State Prison
Farm, it is necessary to have Superintendents,
physicians, guard1, and other employees who
must reside at or near said prison farm whose
children must attend the public schools of said
county; and the public roads lying around said
Prison Farm must be kept up and maintained
by the county, it is unfair that the State, by
the withdrawal of said lands from the tax
rolls of Bradford County, impose these entire
burdens upon the taxpayers and citizens of
SAID county, but it is only fair and Just that
the State should bear its fair and equitable part
OF such burden; therefore,
Be 1t Enacted by the Legislature of the State
of Florida:
Section l. That it shall be the duty of the
Board OF Commissioners of State institutions
annually before the first day of March, to list
all lands owned or used as the State Prison
Farm IN Bradford County, Florida, excepting
from such list 500 acres in contiguous body
on which the buildings belonging to the State
Prison Farm arc now may hereafter be To-
Gated and place the valuation on all the lands
as above described excepting the 500 acres
upon which said buildings are located upon the
same basis that similar lands are valued upon
the tax books of said county and forward such
list and valuation of lands to the Tax AS
oSoSol VI sdiu county. Inc SAID list shall not
include any personal property owned or used
by the said State Prison Farm.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty of the Tax AS
SCISSOR of said county to enter upon the tax
rolls the description and valuations as made
by the said Board, and the County Commits
sioners of said county shall not change or
alter such description or valuations.
r. Sec. s. 1t shall be the duty of the Tax
Collector of said county, on or before the first
day of April of each year, to forward to the
Board of Commissioners of State Institutions
a statement of the amount that would be due
upon said land as county taxes the same as if
they were owned by and assessed as the lands
OF individuals or other taxpayers of the county
Upon receipt of such statement it shall be the
duty of said Board to make their requisition
upon the Comptroller for the amount contained
in the statement of said Tax Collector, and
the Comptroller shall draw his warrant for
the said amount upon the State Treasurer, and
forward said warrant to the Tax Collector of
said county, which warrant shall be paid by
the State Treasurer out of any monies in his
hands the same as other general expenses of
the State paid.

CRACKING THE SABBATH

A few Sundays ago a farmer drove
over to the county attorneys home
and demanded the arrest of a neigh
boris threshing crew that was violat-
ing the Sabbath.
The county attorney was busy pull
ing the weeds out of his garden and
suggested that he go before the JUS
tice of peace in his own township, but
he was informed that the justice was
out fixing his windmill. He was then
asked to telephone the sheriff and
have him attend to the matter, but
the sheriff was loading cattle at the
stock yards. The farmer was exas-
perated and resolved to go for a con-
stable but his good wife who was
busy canning fruit informed him that
the boys had driven the horses to the
village where they were in the lineup
for base ball game and that the
girls had gone for picnic.
The farmer has been drunk on hard
cider ever since and refuses to be

Attorney General Brewster says
that the quail law that the last legis-
lature attempted to pass was not pass
ed. He says the law that was enacted
was not signed by the governor, and
that while the governor signed a bill
that was supposed to have been pass
ed, that the one he signed never was
passed. The legislature passed one,
and the governor signed the other.
The result according to Mr.. Brewster
is this-The supposed new law is alb
solutely void and of no force and
effect, prohibiting absolutely the kill
ing of quail any time. That law will
expire next March. After that quail
in Kansas will be without protection
of any kind. However, the quail will
be safe until next fall, for no one
shoots them in the spring and summer,
not even the rankest pot hunter. But
next fall, they will suffer for there
will be no restriction of any kind on
any one, and the birds may be slaugh-
tered indiscriminately And they
probably will be.-Lawrence Gazette

MY MOTHERS PICTURE

My son, you're in the army
And you've got to stand the test,
You'll simmer down into the ranks
Or climb up with the best.
You needn't worry about the drilling,
Or the training of the schools;
That is all provided for
In the army book of rules.
The thing you have to watch for
Is the man you really are.
So see that you keep decent
And your morals up to par,
For you'll find it's doggone easy
In the army just to slide
Along the route off raising hell.
stTill your ashamed and want to hide.
And you will do things in the army
You've never dreamed you would be-
fore.
Now, some folks take to praying
1t must be a grand old scheme;
Never bein' real religious
/ know not how it would seem.
But when feel myself slippin' I'll
tell you of my plan
I look at mothers picture
And try to be man.
For when I see the dear old face
A smilin' up at me
/ always have to stop and think
How panied and sad she'd be.
Now know it isn't easy, kid,
When you're feelin' blue and sad;
But Watch your STEP" for mothers
sake
And later you'll be glad

Last Friday afternoon the Colby
High School foot ball team came down
for a game with our High School
team. The game was won in the first
quarter by Trego County High School
making a score of thirteen, being the
only points made during the game.
The game was good, being played fast
and clean, but the training of our
boys proved to be little too much
for their opponents. The game to-
morrow Thursday with the Hays
High School eleven will end the foot
ball season for the high school. Their
last game promises to be fast and
hard fought to the end as both teams
are playing good and intend to win.
Go to the game Thursday afternoon
and help the Trego County High
School boys add another victory to
their list.

My friend you have gotten hold of
the wrong bottle of dope some time in
the past. You seem to think that it is
your special duty to hate the fellow
who has succeeded. You are certain
that no man who has over two or
three dollars came by it honestly.
You don't want to do business with
the successful man. You always hunt
up the fellow who is like yourself,
hanging onto the ragged egde, You
can't lay up anything for rainy day
with those kind of theories. No riches
in heaven are waiting you with those
sentiments in your heart. You may
have been unfortunate, but you ought
to thank the stars that some of the
fellows have succeeded. We wouldn't
have much of community if all were
fizzles A number of fellows around
town who have not succeeded keep
themselves happy by being glad that
others have been lucky They don't
hate a neighbor because he made
money. They are tickled to death
They still have the chance of getting
some of it some day. The fellow who
has money is pretty good party to
have around We would have a num-

GROWERS SHOULD BE ON
LOOKOUT FOR RED SPIDER
Little Pest Will Do Great Damage to
Berries If Weather Turns
Warm

District Horticultural Inspector L.
Powell is warning all strawberry
growers to be on the lookout for red
spiders. If the weather continues cool
there is not much danger from this
pest, but if it turns hot they will ruin
the crop in very short time.
Mr.. Powell offers the following for
mula for red spider spray: Water, 200
gallons; flour, 8 pounds; powdered
sulphur, 10 pounds; sulphur-lime, 2k
gallons. The flour and sulphur should
be mixed into a paste before it is put
into the tank.
On account of the necessity for be-
ing constantly on the lookout for the
fruit pests Mr.. Powell, beginning May
1, will spend Tuesday and Wednesday
Of each week in this end of the coun-
ty. Calls for him should be left either
with County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson or at Hotel Kennewick.
