Important to Herald Subscribers

The Herald received last week
from the Board of War Industries
orders to stop all subscriptions
not paid in advance. This order
must be obeyed, or the paper will
be forced out of business.
In compliance with it, we are
sending out this week notices to
all subscribers whose time is out
and will give them ten days to
pay up. At the end of that time,
we will have to drop from our list
all who have not paid in advance.
We hope none will take offence at
this, for "orders is orders" in
these war times; and we hope al
so, that we will not have to drop
any subscriber from our list. The
due are so small that
man who cannot pay must be
-" hard-up" indeed.

Roach Favored Cigars

Some Tampa manufacturer has
introduced a cigar with a decided
ly unique flavor. 1t may be that
the flavor got into the cigar acct
dentally, but the fact that it has
often been detected in cigars of a
certain brand would argue that
the manufacturer intended that
they should have that flavor.
At any rate, a young man of
Punta Gorda who made habit of
smoking cigars of that particular
brand, often thought that they
tasted of cock-roaches; and, last
week, the taste became so dis
tinct, that ne decided to investi-
gate. Accordingly, he cut open
one that he was smoking-cut it
Iengthwise, and found a large, fine
dried cock-roach neatly folded in
with the filler. In smoking, he
had burned off the hind legs and
,he tips of the roach's wings.
He marked cigar and contents
Exhibit A" and placed them on
in one of our local
stores.

Tax Problem Solution

The simplest, easiest solution OF
the tax problem was proposed
years ago by the late comptroller
A. c. Groom, and we cannot mag
inc why it has not been adopted,
unless the legislature is such a
monumental fool as to be unable
to understand it.
Comptroller Groom proposed
that all occupation taxes, licenses
and the like, be given to the state
for the maintenance of govern
ment, for which purpose they
would be amply sufficient, and
then let each county levy and
keep to itself for its own use
whatever taxes it might require.
Could anything be simplerY
This plan would do away with
the diSprOportion in taxes collect
ed from each county and make
needless the tax commission and
the burden of its support. There
would be no necessity for state
equalization Of taxes. Each coun-
ty could assess and collect with
out reference to valuations in 9th
er counties.
DeSoto, for example, could as
sesS on 30 per cent. basis regard
less of the possible fact that Ham
llton might assess on 25 per cent.
Ii a constitutional amendment
IS necessary to carry out the sug-
gestlon of our late comptroller, by |
Ill means let us have this amend |
nent and have it quickly. |

from Camp Johnston brought

Other shipments will bring the to-

that, if the waste paper that is

Sugar Problem Solution

The TimeS-Union, ably aided by
The Tampa Tribune and a book
written by Lyman c. Spencer, is
giving earnest practical attention
to the sugar problem with especial
reference to it's solution in the
fields of Florida. The fact that
Florida can produce sugar cane in
sufficient quantity to supply with
sugar all the people of the United
States and that, too, at less cost
than it can be produced anywhere
else on this continent, has been
fully demonstrated and it needs
mo further discussion. Now, let
US get down to practical PROPOSE
lions.
Only a short while ago, The
Herald suggested that the federal
government should do something
towards developing the manufac-
ture of sugar in Florida, and it
seems that Mr.. Spencer's book,
which is vigorously approved by
the Times Union, presents the
same proposition. This is well, and
we hope that the Times-Union,
the Tampa Tribune and the rest
of Florida s live newspapers will
keep hammering on the sugges-
ton until something is actually
done and accomplished.
The Herald would call atten-
ton to another proposition, which
is very simple and practicable. 1t
is this: The state of Florida
owns in the Everglades many |
thousand acres of the finest sugar /
cane lands in America. The leg |
islature should set aside a large |
body of these lands for a sugar /
cane plantation and appropriate /
a half-million dollars or more to
equip it properly for the purposes
with necessary build
ings, farming implements and re-
fning machinery. Then detail
five hundred to a thousand able
bodied convicts to do the work
under a capable expert as super /
and general manager. \
The state already has in its en- +
Dloy tirSt-claSs sugar expert in
Capt. R. E. Rose, state chemist.
If this suggestion should be put
nto practical operation, the state
would need have no fear of the
competition of the beet sugar in
erests or other manufacturers.
1t is unnecessary, perhaps, to
tate the well known facts that
rOst never Injuries cane in the ,
Everglades, that cane grown =,
here has a higher sugar content :
han that grown anywhere else }
nd that one planting is sufficient =
or seven to ten years. For these I
easons, the state of Florida, by =
Employing convict labor, can :
lake sugar at less cost than it is
lade in Cuba and other West In
la islands.
We hope the state press will n
Ike hold of this proposition and
0 all that is possible to impress q
upon the members of the legis- c
ture.

sugar in this state. I'VE are glad
to note that the Times-Union is
now doing that very thing.
