It has been suggested that the avn

week so that our citizens and visitors
can go out to the landing place and
watch the airplanes alight and depart
and aviators go through the different
stunts.
The people of Moore Haven are
happy because the first landing out Of

J. C.. Brown, Former
Lakeland Citizen, Outlines
Some Necessary Legislation

eral way by constitutional provision,
giving the commission absolute au-
thority
The necessity for these changes are
obvious. First, the desire on the
part Of some to keep off, or keep
down, the assessment rolls, property
! in certain counties, for fear of pay
ing more than their just share of
State taxes, would no longer exist.
The tax derived would 60 to the sup
port of the local government, bring
ing the taxation problems nearer by
local self government and more strin-
gent laws, as well as proper enforce
ment of those we now have, thereby
forcing on the tax rolls a large
amount of personal taxes now es-
Gaping taxation altogether, by amend
ing our present statutes relative to
the corporation tax, in order that the
four or five thousand corporation now
escaping taxatin be compelled to pay
their portion of the revenue necessary
for the support of the State govern
ment.
Legislation should be provided for
an inheritance tax, also for taxation
of Mineral rights.
The Tax Sales laws should be
amended, in order that the thirteen
million dollars of taxable property
covered by certificates could be
placed back on the tax rolls. This is
matter seriously affecting State
and local government.
My reasons for suggesting the Gre
alton of the Tax Commission by the
organic law of the State are two
fold. First: OF gives the Commits.

they will cease to be made a political
foot ball by each succeeding legisla-
ture.

and their accomplishment, while
handicapped for want of power. has
more than demonstrated the wisdom
OF the legislature in creating the
commission, but the public should see
that increased powers are given
them, in order that they may more
fully carry out the purpose of their
creation.

DO IT FOR BABY
Babies and Giants
j. CLIFFORD BROWN

by Ruth Danenhower Wilson of The
Vigilantes.)
If you were fiat on your back in
weak condition without strength
enough even to turn on your side,
how would would you like to have a
powerful giant grab you up, swing
you over the shoulder, pat you and
.jounce you? Don't you think such
treatment would be extremely ex-
halsting?
And if this giant should hand you
over to another huge creature who
would walk up and down with tre-
mendous strides and swing you back
and forth with powerful arms,
wouldn't you be returned to bed with
very little strength left?
To a very young or weak baby a
grown-up is like giant.
oh it is excellent to have giants
strength,
But it is tyrannous to use it like q
giant"
Shakespeare may not have intended
that remark to apply to baby welfare
but it certainly does.
One of the hardest lessons for
mother to learn is to let her baby
alone To rock or pat it is so delight
1ul If baby is i'll, walking with it
and swinging it in her arms is a real
comfort to the mother, adoring grand
mother or aunt. But to the baby's
slender vitality such treatment is ex
haustlng. 1t uses up strength and les
sens resistance to disease.

consider that Mr.. Harris has given to
the Ocala Banner as many years as

his community during all these years
we can not but be struck by the in.
adequacy of the rewards of his long

all these years, put the same energy

undoubtedly he would by now be a

Candidates for the Legislature will
soon be discussing matters Of legis-
lation, therefore | think it is an OPP
perfume time for expressions on mat
tels vitality affecting the whole peo-
pie, in order that some remedial leg
islation may be enacted by the next
Legislature.
The inequality of taxation. The
methods now in vogue for levying
and collecting taxes, the failure Of
corporations to make returns, the
need of an inheritance tax, mineral
tax law, and the need of an amend
ment to our present tax Sales Laws,
suggest to my mind the absolute and
imperative need of vital changes in
our constitutional law as well as
stronger and broader statutes rela-
tive to taxation
think we should enter upon rad
ical departure in our methods of rails
ing revenue. l am of the opinion that
equality of taxation will best be OBJ
tanned by separation of State and
County axes. The Legislature con-
vening in 1919, should submit con-
stitutional amendment to the voters
embracing this idea, making provis-
ion for taxation of Public Service
corporations, Banks, and Insurance
/ Companies, for the support Of the
State government, at the same ime
eXempting the operative property of

listing prior to the time set by law for
segregation of State and County tax
es, and at the same time making pro-
vision for counties and municipalities
! to derive their revenue revenue from
general property tax and license
tax for the support of the local gov
eminent,
! The amendment should also pro-
vide for a State Tax Commission
composed of three members elected
from three districts or subdivisions
of the State, to succeed the Commits

ated by legislature enactment.
Their term of office should be four
years. Their duties and powers
