GOVERNOR SHOWS.
THAT TAXES NAY
.bE SAFELY REDUCED

Tallahassee. July 22.-(Specialo-
In the following communication. adj
dressed to Governor Sidney j. Cats,
from the tax commission, it is pointed
out, that the state taxes for 1918, prev
iously fixed at eight mills on the dol
lar, can be safely reduced another half
mill. If the suggestion is adopted and
put into effect. there Will be saving
to the people of the state OF s176,ooe.
July 10. 1918.
Hon. sidney j. Cats, Governor of the
State of Florida. Tallahassee.
Dear Governor-we note that YOU
have fixed the state tax rate for 1918
at eight mills on the dollar. We be-
lieve that ii is your sincere desire to
fix the state rate at as low figure as
the demands will permit, hence this
communication.
We feel that further reduction of
one-half mill will be justified, as the
reports coming to this office show
that there will be an increase in val
uation for 1918 OF approximately $780,
1 ooo, 600. The general revenue tax for
| 1917 was based on a valuation or $40
/ million dollars, while the actual fig
| ures were 322 million dollars, which
| produced really more than was then
1 thought necessary iiows III AoSo
of an increase of s35.0o0.0o0, we feel
confident that a 3 mill levy for gen.
eral revenue will be sufficient, as this
will raise s1,0S5, 900, and in addition
! the license tax, based on the collec-
tons for 1917. will be s615.772, and
to this should be added the balance on
January l. of s13s,7s7. making total
for general revenue for current year
of s1,TTo,526. The appropriations Tor
the maintenance of the state govern
ment is s1,o34,02s, and in addition one
half of the appropriate ton for the edu-
cational institutions, citrus canker
and for the live stock sanitary board
amounting to 1851, 729. showing po-
tential balance of s1ss,797. We. Their

patriotism, urge you to make fur

DETAILS FATE Of
ESSEN TRAITORS

London. July 22.-According to the
story told by famous neutral secret
service agent the most amazing court
! in the world. perhaps. is that set up
since the commencement of the war
| at the Villa Hugel in Essen. Here in
an underground apartment of the
mansion tenanted by Bertha Krupp.
| traitors employed at he great Essen
death factory are tried for the crime
/ OF treachery. Death is their newt
| able portion.
The cannon queen herself is the
judge. Pitilessly. mercilessly, without
| a yestige of emotion, she passes the
dread sentence.
More than 100000 people are en-
ployed at Krupps. Scores of national
tiles are represented. And although
it is the most carefully, guarded ar
senal in the world. where human in
genuity displayed to protect secrets
has surely reached the high-water
mark, there are occa sions when.
tempted by money, workmen disclose
some cherished secret to the agent of
a foreign power. Such a thing Is in
evitable. in a mixed collection of hu-
mans like the one to be found a,
Krupp's.
IN the WORKSHOPS and throughout
the town there are hundreds of deteo<
tives moving to and fro unsupported.
All sorts OF traps are set. The loyalty
of the workers is subjected to the most
searching tests. Even wives are in
duced to test the fidelity of their hus-
bands. And when a Judas is discov-
cred, he or she is arraigned before this
amazing court. the very existence OF /
which has heretofore been kept a |
profound secret
In a little-frequented and carefully
guarded wing Of the Villa Hugel is a
suite of rooms into which even most
favored guests seldom gain admit
lance. They are wrapped in mystery.
They are used only for purposes OF |
business connected with the firm. |
These rooms, could they speak, could |
reveal some Of the most amazing Sc
crets In the sinister history of kaiser

One is set apart for the exclusive |
use of DR.. Won Bohlen und Holbach. /

who became nominal director Of the i
great firm Of Krupp's upon his mar

Adjoining this room is another spac-
