USELESS WASTE OF GOOD
MONEY

To the Editor Ocala Banner;
The tax commission is costing the
tax payers about fourteen thousand
dollars a year, and that it is useless
waste OF public money is proven by
it's own admission. The report OF the
commission for the period ending
Dec 81, 1916, page "a says, but the
legislature (1915) failed to give this
power and left it with it's hands tied
with no power to correct errors and ir-
regularities and try by persuasion to
have them corrected" " The legisla-
ture of 1917 not only left its hands
tied but tied the purse strings of the
treasury by refusing TO appropriate
money to support il, after repeating
it and failing to pass the repeal bill
over the governors veto.
In this time OF war when the strict
est economy should be practinced by
the state as well as by the individual
will the tax payers and voters of Ma
rion county elect men TO the Iegisla-
ture who are in favor Of continuing
this costly and admitted farce?
What is the use OF hiring three per
suaders and an office force when they
admit that persuading is all they can
do?
Knowing that the state tax rate has
increased more than so per cent since
1914 and is now higher than ever III
the history of the state, and higher
by so per cent and in some cases zoo
per cent higher than the rate Of any
southern state, it is going to take
more than persuasion or three per
suaders TO get the tax assessors to in
crease tax burdens by increases IN
valuation In 1914 about one million
dollars was arbitrarily added to the
tax valuations IN Marion county and
the state tax rate reduced from 7Aa
to 6h mills. the rate has gradually
gone up to mills, but the million dol
lars has not been decreased Beware
Of efforts to raise tax values under
a promise TO reduce the rate of taxa

Washington. Aug. h0.--New draft
regulations. under which the govern
ment would do the selecting, are under
consideration by the war department.
This was disclosed yesterday by Sec
rotary Baker after he had appeared
to urge prompt enactment of the act
extending the age limits.
lie made it plain that he is not sat
isfled with the present system under
which the registrant. must claim de-
ferred classification. Many with de-
pendents hesitate for patriotic reasons
to make such claim.
He said he was inclined to the opin-
ion that the marriage relationa will in
itself constitute deferred classified
ton.
Work or Fight Rule.
The committee. he added. did not in
dictate any disposition to question the
necessity for the change. He said:
There was some discussion as to
whether 1t was the intention of the de-
partment to extend the work Or fight
order to include classes of persons In
various professional occupations.
III told them there was no present
change of the work or fight order in
contemplation.
{"I said that when decided the base
ball case thought perhaps other forms
OF amusement and entertainment might
require an extension of the order to be
on parity with the baseball situation.
but that was not in their mind.
Committee Heard Rumors.
"They heard from outside sources
that tho Department. was Considering
bringing professional Hlasses. like law
yers. newspaper men and persons who
were not actually engaged in producing
war supplies. under the, order"
The committee. he continued, was
especially interested in the effect OF
the extension of the draft age on coll
leges and also in the question as to
whether young men from Is UP would
be drawn indiscrimnately In. Glass /
or placed in q deferred class. and went
on:
II told the committee that no fixed
policy had been determinedsupon by the
department, but that the purpose was
to allow the president to defer in Class
the call Of the younger men.
II have always considered, as you
perhaps remember, that 10 was the
probable minimum. and have come to
the Is minimum only because it seems
necessary to get the men.
Eighteen years seems to many peo-
pie a more tender age than 10. and 1t
is for that reason that we are thinking
Of making this preferential deferment
Of men from Is to 49,"
Baker told the committee, senators
said, that the department wanted ia
carry out the plan Of registering the
men Sept. S, so that Class could be
resupplied.

estimate was 1000, including around
fifty loads to the packers from other
markets, standing over $500 smaller
than a week ago and more than twice
