EDGAR ROBERTS INJURED


The Star is very sorry to report a
painful injury to Edgar Roberts,
younger son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. v.
Roberts.
Edgar's brother, HerscheI, is the
Stars carrier in the second ward.
Yesterday, Herschel was sick, and Ed
far volunteered to deliver his papers.
While on his rounds, near Mr.. How
ard Walters place, as he was trying
to throw paper in yard, his bicycle
turned under him, throwing him heav-
lily to the ground, and breaking his
right arm in two places.
The shock and pain rendered the
little fellow unconscious for few
minutes. There was no one near at
the time, but a colored boy, Vinie
Williams, came along just then, pick
ed Edgar up and took him before hin
on the bicycle, and carried him to Nc
Iver & MacKay's store, where Mr.
McIver carried him to the nearest
doctors Office to have the arm set.
Edgar is resting easy today, and
his brother Herschel, sick with fever
is somewhat better. Both are bright
and dependable boys and the Star
much regrets their present wide, thick
streak of bad luck.

WILL COVENE NEXT
MONDAY WEEK
Congress Called to Meet in Ex-
ira Session May 18th

Washington, May president
Wilson issued a call by cable today
for a special session of Congress to
meet Monday, May 10Th. Secretary
Tumulty in making the announcement
said it was impossible for the presi-
dent to be here on the opening day.
The date fixed is much earlier than
democratic leaders expected. Officials
said in naming the early date the
president had been guided largely by
the advise of Secretary Glass as to
the necessity of passing appropriation
measures which failed in the closing
days of the last session.

BADLY NEEDED BILL


One of the best measures so far
passed by the Senate is a bill intro
duced by Senator Hulley, to produce
more revenue.
Millions of acres of lands through
out the state are unproductive. Taxes
on millions of acres were unpaid by
their owners at time when the lands
were not bringing returns. These
taxes have accumulated for years.
added TO the cost of the lands, the
price is prohibitive. No one will buy
them with all the back taxes on them.
And so they lie on the hands Of the
state, and bring no revenue.
1t has long been a problem what TO
do with these lands. The big question
before the legislature is to provide
money to pay the expenses Of run
ming the government. DIR. Hulley
brought in his plan to increase in
come by making all the land produce.
There are buyers waiting In every
county TO take up these lands. But
the back taxes are in the way.
This bill provides that all tax Ger
tificates held by the state prior to
1915, may be redeemed by payment Of
their face value, the accumulated in
terest being wiped out. There are
millions of dollars worth of these tax
certificates, now held by the state.
The bill will bring into the market
ready purchasers, and add millions Of
dollars to the states income.
The committee on state finance and
taxation accepted the bill as the best
measure ever proposed dealing with
the vexed question of the redemption
OF tax certificates.
The bill. If it goes through the
House, will permit Of the redemption
Of these certificates at any time In the
future. 1t does not affect tax certifi-
Gates held by individuals. But all land
that has reverted to the state for non
payment of taxes will now pass ont
again into the hands of owners who
will be subject at once to taxes on it.
IL is regarded as one of the most con-
structive pieces Of legislation so far
proposed.

Committees from WOman's Club, the
Rotary Club and Board of Trade
Met This Morning

Next week Is to be "C1ean-UE
Week" in Ocala. Committees from
the Woman's Club, the Rotary Clut
and the Marion County Board OF
Trade met in the Board of Trade
room this morning at 10 o'clock, and
outlined the campaign for making the
city more slightly and more sanitary
Mrs. c. r. Tydings, of the Woman's
Club, is to be general chairman of the
campaign for cleanliness. The city
will be divided into FIVE districts and
the work in each district will be in
charge of a committee. The school
children and the Boy Scouts will be
asked to help. Councilman A. T.
Thomas, chairman of the street and
sanitary committee of the city gov
ernment, has placed the entire sani-
tary force of the city at the disposal
of the "Clean-Up Week" COMMITTEES
for the drive against filth and un-
sightliness.
The five districts will comprise the
four wards of the city. and the busi-
ness section bounded on the south by
South 4th street, on the west by Lime

Cleanup Week" is an event held
all over the country. 1t is not over

large cities having cleanup weeks re-
Gently. With the hot weather com

campaigns of cleanliness be carried
on for the purpose of preventing the

towns and cities have much to learn
from the army camps. The policing
in these camps is part of the daily
program. Had this policing" nol
been done in the camps there is nc

AN ERROR CORRECTED

We print the following at the re-
quest of the treasury department:
There has been some misunder-
standing as to who was liable under
title 8, section 800 of the 1918 revenue
law, which is the admission and due
tax. For the guidance of those con-
cerned the law is quoted as follows:
"That from and after April 1, 1919
there shall be levied, assessed, collect,
ed and paid, tax of one cent on each
ten cents or fraction thereof of the
amount paid for admission to any
place on or after such date, including
admission by season ticket or sub
scription, to be paid by the person
paying for such admission"
This will include concerts, dances
or any other form of amusement to
which an admission is charged, unless
such should be conducted by a relig-
ious or charitable institution, society
or organization where all the proceeds
enure exclusively to the benefit o1
such. In this case there would be nc
tax added to the admission so charg-
ed.

TONIGHT AT EIGHT O'CLOCK
Meeting of Motorists Called at the
Board of Trade

Invitations have been sent to the
motorists of Ocala and vicinity to at
tend meeting tonight at the Board
of Trade rooms which promises to
prove of unusual interest.
Due to the Importance of the an
nual state meeting of the motorists
of Florida, which convenes at DeLand
May 29th, it is desired that Ocala be
well represented and one of the OBJ
jects of the meeting tonight is to ar
range for delegates from this section
to the big meeting at DeLand, which
will be the real good roads congress
of the year.
Ocala has a motor club which is a
duly accredited branch of the Florida
State Automobile Association, and
through that connection the motorists
of Ocala will be able to have voice
in the state associations annual meet.
The value of such representation to
this section can scarcely be over
estimated.
A representative of the Florida
State Automobile Association will be
present tonight to conduct the meet
ing and to explain to our motorists
the value of the coming congress to
our people, and to accept duly ac-
credited representatives to that meet
Representative of the Ocala club will
go to DeLand in a body and will not
only secure for their home city a LOT
of very valuable information, but will
be able to put Ocala on the map in
more ways than one.
| Due to the ever increasing number
of visitors to our state by automobile
it is now big problem to look after
these tourists and the community that
maintains live motor club and which
offers touring information about then
section, is certainly going to attract
| more of these visitors than the com,
munity which sits idle and lets the
golden streams of money and oppor.
tunity go elsewhere The Florida
State Automobile Association is full
ly aware of the vast importance Of
this work and stands ready to put
Ocala in line for her share of the
good things which are in store for US
1t is hoped every car owner anC
every progressive citizen of Ocals
will be present tonight at the BoarC
of Trade rooms at o'clock.

city council. H. G. Sistrunk, clerk,
S. C. M. Thomas, marshal, T. S. Tran
than, attorney, and w. w. Clyatt,

was deferred until next meeting, on
account of some possible changes in
the makeup of the city departments.
DIR. E. G. Peek's resignation as city
health officer was accepted. DIR. Peek
accepted this position when DIR. III. F.
Watt was called to the colors some
eighteen months ago, and feels that
the position rightly belongs to him
for the time he was elected, hence the
resignation. There being no formal
application for the position. the cleo
ticn of a new health officer was left
over until next meeting.
The city manager and city recorder
are elected for two years, and the
present incumbents hold over.
J. III. Dunn's application for ap-
pointment as meat and milk inspector
was held over to await the election of
a new city health officer, whose ad-
vice will be followed in these matters.
A number of claims for alleged ex-
cessive water charges were passed
upon after Manager Martins report
on them had been read. Where there
was evidence that the city had been
at fault reductions were allowed, but
where the excessive rentals were the
fault of claimants by not having the
pipes in proper condition they were
refused.
All monthly bills properly audited
were ordered paid.
| Valuation on the building known as
the Bierman building ON Washington
street was reduced to $4,000 upon re-
/ quest of Mr.. Frank E. Harris, who
has within the past few days pur.
chased the property.
| Action on bids for fuel oil for the
electric light plant was deferred until
next meeting.
Manager Martin submitted draw.
ings for proposed changes in the ar
rangement of machinery at the cleo
trio light plant. After considerable
discussion the council ordered thai
work be begun at once according tC
the plans submitted. The new plan:
it is thought will solve many of the
troubles which the council has beer
contending with for year or more
On motion it was decided to adjourn
until Friday night, when matters tha
failed to get attention at this meet
ing will be taken up and disposed of.
