The questions of preparedness and
military training will or should take
.up great deal of the thought of the
country and attention of Congress
this summer and autumn. The return
of the soldiers from Europe, where
they have seen the seamiest side of
war, will be almost certain to make
America more set against militarism
than ever. Militarism and prepared
ness, however, need not be synono
nous; they can in fact be so far apart
that preparedness will prevent mill
tarism. We think that a year, or
even six months, of military training
for every able-bodied boy over eight
cen would be mentally and physically
beneficial to him and a safeguard to
the country Next to universal train
ing, the best way to instruct the boys
is in the schools. And speaking of
schools, Ocala has right to be proud
of the military department of its high
school. : In spite of many discourage
ments, the military class has done fine
work and turned out a most credit
able result. The training has been
good for the boys from physical as
well as military standpoint. This
training is so good physically that we
do not see how parents who have the
welfare of their sons at heart can OPP
pose it. 1t is a mighty fine thing to
have straight, alert, well set-up boys.
The drill is of benefit mentally as well
as physically. 1t is hoped that when
the school reassembles next Septem-
Der that the government will give it a
military instructor. However, the
school is now able to carry on the
work itself. A number of the boys
are well up in their work, and with
the assistance of the numerous young
officers back from the war will be able
to keep the drill up to its present
standard and perhaps improve it. A
great deal of this good result is due to
the spirit of the boys themselves. A
good deal is due to Principal Cassels,
who has taken a patriotic interest in
the work and steadily pushed it along.
Also, to Lieut.. N. P. Davis, who no
sooner returned from the army than
he gave part of his time and his
hardly acquired experience to in
structing the boys in up to date tao
tics. We mustn't forget Fire CHER

doesn't think that the threat of future
defeat will have much influence on
the members of the school board.
Chairman Colbert had to be begged to
stand for election, and we don't sup
pose either Mr.. Veal or Mr.. Stephens
would lose an hours sleep over the
prospect of defeat. As for Mr.. Brin-
son, while we have differed from him
on the matter all the way thru, We
don't believe there is anything mer-
cenary in his support of the ten-mill
amendment. He is a very efficient Of
ficer and devoted to the schools, and
the people of Marion would have hard
work to find better man to fill his
place. Also, if he is defeated in the
nexs election, it's our opinion that he
will not have much trouble in finding
position that will pay him as well
or better for much less work. The
Star has little fault to find with the
school board. Most of the school trou-
bles inflicted on the people of this
county proceed from faults entirely
out of their jurisdiction.

man who owns invisible property
gets off without tax. When taxes
have to be raised, both howl. Right
now law makers are saying those who
own invisible property are not paying
their share. Hence all over the coun-
try the state are beginning to tax
incomes, profits, inheritances, and
corporation franchises. 1t is easy to
object to this, to find fault with it.
But how else get the money!"
Mr.. Hulley. is corrective have to
levy taxes if we keep up the work of
civilization; if we make improve
ments and do not allow those made to
deteriorate. The greatest trouble
about taxes, in Florida is that they
are so unequal. There are so many
taxdoggers and so much property Iii
taxed. There are about ten million
dollars worth of untaxed property il
this county, and if it was all assessed
and paid the county government would
have enough money, and the peoples
taxes would be cut half in two. The
worst of it is that most of the tar
dodgers are among those best able tC
pay. The legislature could remedy
this state of affairs if it would. The
legislatures of other states have
greatly reduced tax lodging, anC
nothing but incompetence and unwill
ingness prevents the Florida legisla
ture from doing likewise.

HAVE TO LEVY TAXES
SAYS SENATOR HUXLEY

In letter to the press. Senator
Hulley of Volusia says:
People kick against increasing
taxes. am one of those who kick.
But for the life of me, l cannot see
how we are going to run the govern
ment on what money we have done
with heretofore in fact of the increas-
ed cost of living, and the growing
needs of the state. The state is in
creasing in population and that makes
more problems, more work for tse
state government TO do, and so natur-
ally and normally the expense grows
greater. The more children there are
in family, the more it costs to pro-
vide for them. Also, and moreover,
the wealth of the state is increasing
too. We are far richer today than
were were a decade ago. Hence we
have more resources to draw from.
We must have money to pay our bills.
We must have money for schools,
roads, pensions, state institutions for
the insane, the blind and deaf, the
prisoners, the incorrigibles, for the
board of healthaand the two state col
leges, for the promotion of science
through the plant board, etc. Now
where is the money to come from? 1t
must come by taxation. Heretofore
the things taxed have yielded all they
can. Visible property is the first
thing the law maker thinks of taxing.
Because he can see it, it is easy to
get at, and not easy to dodge. Be
cause this is so, all the increases add
ed to the tax list have been put on
land chiefly. Hence land is taxed lit
orally to death. That is why people
give up their land rather than pay the
taxes on it. Many smart man pre-
fers not to invest his money in land
so as to avoid taxes. He puts it into
stocks and bonds, and if possible, into
such stocks and bonds as are not
taxed. Many stocks and bonds are
taxed at their source. But that doesn't
fall on the investor. 1t is usually an
overhead charge and is placed on the
business itself. The man who owns
visible property is taxed to death. The

Chambers who started off with the
work last fall and helped it on faith
fully, until bad health made him give
1t up. Nor that public-spirited citi-
zen, Mr.. Z. c. Chambliss, whose time
~ donation of money prizes encour-
aged the boys a whole lot. We must
keep this good work up. If these boys
are called to training camps, either
for instruction, or to make ready to
defend their country, they won't have
to go in the awkward squads, and
some will be sure to be set to work
training the inexperienced recruits
from other localities.

Marion county will have a fair this
year, whether the county takes over
the fair property or not, says Nathan
Mayo, secretary of the fair associa-
ton, and he is backed up in the dec
laration by President Hall and Vice
President Hunter. This trio, with the
assistance of some energetic friends,
did great work for the fair last fall,
and virtually compelled victory from
what seemed certain defeat. They
say they will buck up and do it again
if necessary, and in this they deserve
the help of every good citizen. The
fair. is most necessary institution
and it can be great success if the
people will give it the support they
could and should give.

Paris newspapers geenrally agres
that the allied and associated powers
have answered in advance the preten-
sions put forth in the German counter
proposals and will not consider the
proposals. The newspapers say the
counter proposals are an attempt to
escape the moral and material con-
sequences of the war, and give the
impression that Germany is trying to
open oral negotiations

In their plea that Germany should
be treated with greater leniency be-
cause it has ostensibly changed its
government, the Germans lose sight
of the fact that they did not make it
easier for France in 1870 because
that nation expelled its emperor and
became a republic.

some furnishings now found in the base
ment will be brought to the main floor
