TRYING TO EQUALIZE TAXES
(Continue d from First Page)

statement yesterday afternoon that
he made in the forenoon, saying the
thing desired is an equalization of as
sessment values all over the state,
carrying with the equalization in
creased values and gross millage
for state and county, outside of the
special school tax districts, 10 mills.
Mr.. Stripping says the counties will
not need seven mills to run the schools
if the valuations are increased and
equalized, nor will the state and coun-
ties ned as much millage as is now
required should the change be made.
He believes it will be an Indictment
to home seekers to hold out low
millage and greater values.
As president and vice president of
the state association. Messrs. Strip
ling and Long expect to visit several
counties before and after the Jack
sonville conference, in an effort to
unite the tax collectors in fight for
equal treatment of all counties.
Mr. Long is serving his fourteenth
consecutive term as Lake county col
lector, having been elected first in the
fall of 1899. During the fourteen
campaigns he has had opposition just
three times. and each time has polled
about twice as many votes as his OPP
ponent. The first thirteen terms were
for two years only, while the change
in the length of the term gives him
four years for the last. At the COM
pletion of this term he will have serv-
ed his constituents thirty years con-
secutively as their tax collector. For
the three years preceding his election
the first time he served as clerk in
the collectors Office.
Mr.. Long is the oldest tax collector
in the state in point of service. Mr..
Morgan, of Gadsden county, who died
last year. was first elected in 1899
the same year Mr.. Long entered of
| fice 1t is said the tax assessor of Git
rus county is the oldest county officer
in the state in point of service, he
having served "the dear people" fol-
SO years consecutively.

C0UNTRY'S DEBT TO CRIMINAL
Notorious French swindlsr Responsi-
BILE for Development Of Most Fa-
nous Fighting AIrpIane.

The most successful fighting air
plane in the world today Is without
question the Spad It was, of course,
the mount of the late Captain Guyne-
mer, who, it will be remembered, &C
counted for 81 machines before being
shot down last September just behind
The German front line. The most pro-
ficient pilots in the Lafayette esca-
1rille also use this machine.
The history of the Spad is curious.
1t owes its origin to Armand Deeper
dussin. former silk Merchant of Ly-
ons, who amassed large fortune by
series of swindling operations. In
1910 he proceeded to sink most OF his
gains into aviation. establishing huge
flying field and factory near Reims
and engaging a brilliant young en-
gineer named Bechereau. The result
was that the Deperdussin mOnoplanes
acquired an International fame, win
ming the Gordon Bennett cup at Chi
cago In 1912 and at Reims in 1913.
the latter event at the rate of 1245
miles an hour. This speed was made
possible largely by the monocoque con-
struction of the fuselage, greatly supe-
rfor to the rectangular body section
then in vogue on other machines
After the arrest Of Deperdussin
some time before the war the directors
Of the firm retained Bechereau as de-
signer and changed the name to SpaG
(Societe pour Aeroplanes Deperdns-
sinl. This was again changed quite
recently to '.Societe pour PAviation ct
SEES Derives" keeping the same initials
ms before. Deperdussin's trial finally
teek place few months back and a
,.erely nominal sentence was imposed
on account Of the great services TO the
cause of French aviation rendered by
the defendant.

\ CARUSO AS NEMORINO
Metropolitan Opera Company Gives 'LElisir
dAmore" Tuesday

The Metropolitan Opera Company will give
Donizetts L'Elisir dAmore'' next Tuesday
evening at the Metropolitan Opera House In
1t will appear Caruso in one of his best roles
Nemorino. with Scotti as Sergeant Belcore
and Frieda Hempel as Adina.
The story of this charming work is simple.
Adina. a handsome young woman. Is loved
by Nemorino. but processes Indifference
the dashing Sergeant Belcore comes along
and makes violent love to Adina. Then ap-
pears the famous Doctor Dulcamara, whose
specifics are said TO produce incredible re-
suits. Nemorino seeks the doctor and in
quiries If he has the famous elixir Of love,
and Is told that such Is the case. He gets
a bottle and drinks 1t all. not knowing that
1t is only Bordeaux wine. Much wine hav-
ing the same effect then as now. Nemorno
seeks Adina and with much confidence as
sumes cavalier attitude while Adina.
piqued at his nonchalance becomes In turn
the anxious one. To avenge herself. she ac-
cepts the sergeants offer of marriage How
Nemorino overcomes this handicap and finally
wins Adina makes alluring story.
The opera was first performed in Milan.
in 1882 and is a typical Donizetu opera of
that period, being exceedingly graceful in
construction and bright and gay in its
musical effect. This Is especially true of
and Dulcamara in the first act and the one
between Adina and Du!camara in the sec
ond act. Both are full of spirit and humor.
Two of the chief solo numbers are the buffo
song of Doctor Ducamara in the first act
in which he describes his medicines to the
natives, and an exquisite romance for tenor
(Nemorino) in the second act
