TAX INVESTIGATION

Nothing could be more timely than the
promised investigation of the tax assess
ments. The probe, already started in Duval
COUNTY, will be extended to others as we'll,
the purpose being to reduce the present
confusion to a common fifty percent basis
The law of course prescribes full assess
mcnt, but there are so many difficulties in
the way of this that it would be folly to at
tempt it now.
AS The Florida Metropolis says, the tax
commission can now prove its worth. In
individual cases. its work has not Aeen with
out success; but now it is undertaking a
work Of statewide importance-a work as
big as the question itself.
Escambia county is already on a fifty per
cent basis but the pro rata of other coun-
ties is considerably less-as low as twenty
rcrcent in some cases. Equalization should
thus lower our tan rate-or enable vital i'm
provements without increasing it.

should be more home building, for the
home owner is the backbone OF the

have, and right away, Mr.. Holmgrain
holds, Is more apartment houses, di-

When Vice Gets FoothoId.

The Argus has tried TO observe q
rule not to give too much prominence
to vice conditions in Rock Island. It
would prefer to have them wiped out
without printed reference, IL that were
possible. But since the city became
the gathering place for the under
world shifting from other cities
It has not been az easy TO keep
the city free Of this element as il had
been under normal conditions. Vice
gains a foothold in a community and
it is more difficult TO permanently dis.
lodge than the average citizen COM
prehends. The underworld has its de-
tenders as a commercial asset. This
may sound shocking to some, but it is
| true nevertheless. You viii hear
citizens say that wide open reputa-
! ton is helpful to business Of a town:
that it attracts people from other
/ localities. There is no denying that it
does. But that does not justify its
/ continuance in the eyes of men and
women TO whom such an atmosphere
is abhorrent The Argus always has
maintained that Rock Island can be
/ kept morally respectable, but that it
/ can be accomplished only through con-
slant and persistent surveillance by
the police authorities. And it is only
just to say that the police department
has done pretty well with what it has
had TO work with In the first place
the department is short Of men. There
has been no increase in the force to
meet the new conditions. Thus it is
that the cooperative arm OF the fed
eral government will be welcomed al
this time. The United States secret ser.
vice has Joined hands with the local DO
lice department and has given the wore
that every disOrderly house and blinC
pig In the city must be suppressed, mo-
for a day or for a week, but until tht
close OF the war. and that may NEAR
b permanently; at least let us hope tina
II will. Vice hangs on for dear life

J other, but it refuses to cut loose en-

II there are any tri-city people who

that the soldiers stationed at Rock

figuratively killed with kindness at
the hands OF the good folks Of the
communities surrounding the local
government post. In fact invitations
have been coming so thick, and from
such a variety OF sources, that Colonel
Burr has suggested that there be a
committee named in each OF the three
cities. and that every invitation that is
issued to the soldiers be passed upon
by the committee in the city from
which the entertainment is offered for
the special diversion OF the arsenal
