KEEPING DOWN TAXES.

While other ciunties have raised their tax
levy, Escambia, by the budget just com
pleted, has lowered its levy by two and
half mills And though it has eliminated
unnecessary items, it has not cut out essen
tia1s-indeed, it has made provision for
the farm demonstration agents salary,
which it failed to do last year, and also, to
build four steel and concrete bridges
Thus our taxes remain the same, al
though the state raised its levy two and
a half mills, and we will have more real
Improvement to show when the year is
over.
Next year, when property that is now
dodging taxes is put baC on the books,
there is reason to hope for a further reduc-
ton which should continue for several
years, or until the gradual cycle of our in
e. ricnt system, we will have reached the

Editor of the Pensacola Journal;

SANTA ROSA'S FIGHT AGAINST
THE CATTLE TICK.

I'VE are after the cattle tick and we are
going to get him.
This quotation from a recent editorial
o. the Milton Gazette, summarizes the
progressive spirit Of Santa Rosa county,
whose commissioners recently voted a half
mill tax to prosecute the eradication work
during the next wear, and has called an
election for June, 1918, that the people
may determine whether or not dipping
shall be compulsory
Thus even if-as now seems probable
Santa Rosa should fail to continue the work
Of the farm demonstration agent, tick
eradication will continue-at least another
year
Geo, +. Mead. who is in charge of the
work, states that the tide of sentiment is
>cttin strongly in the direction of compuI-
soty eradication. His enthusiasm over
present developments is happy omen for
tuture development. Opposition is melting
il the warmth Of knowledge.
For instance, the Milton Gazette dis

IF sweet potatoes are no cheaper

one who is interested in the cultiva-

served that hundreds Of lots are
drilled for the vines, and many a

observe, is being utilized in the rails

Club AND TRADE BOARD
ASK FOR REFERENDUM
Want Prohibition Submitted to Vote
of Residents.

Rear Admiral George w Baird. repre-
senting the Cosmos Club: Harry Bulkley.
Chris ]. Gockeler and Odell S. Smith. rep
resenting the Washington Board of
Trade, appeared before the House Dis
trict Committee yesterday to oppose the
Sheppard -Barkley prohibition bill of
the District unless 1t contains a referen-
dunn clause.
The substance of the arguments was
that it would be unfair and un-American
to deny. the citizens of the District the
right to pass upon legislation so vitality
affecting their welfare.
sour plea here today" said Admiral
Baird, "is that citizenship is away above
any question of prohibition. The ques-
ton is one of American manhood"
"Do not go back to your constituents
and say to them that you have enacted
legislation which denies the people of the
National Capital the right of participation
in their government"
In response to the question of Repre-
sentative Mapes as to whether the Board
of Trade wanted the referendum because
il was feared that Congress would act
contrary to the wishes of the residents
of the District. several members made
IL plain that the demand for referendum
was not confined to liquor legislation.
Andrew C. Hughes, of the Coopers'
Union, in the closing address opposed leg
islation that would make 1t difficult for
members OF his craft to make a living.
