Our friend Thorn of the Palm
Beach Post has writ piece of poetry
about US. We hope our friends will
pardon as for reprinting it. 1t isn't
often that poetry is printed about US.
The only previous occasion we can re-
member was sometime in 1889, when
st. Clair Abrams was accused. per-
h&ps falsely. of penning the following
lines:
"Of all the words of tongue or pen,
"The saddest are these. 4 didn't hang
Ben."
Whether Mr.. Abrams wrote those
lines or not. they probably expressed
his sentiments. But this effusion
from Thorne is different. 1t says:
Says the Ocala Star: "Thorn. of
the Palm Beach Post. says he has
broken only three of the command
ments, but leads US to infer that he
has rather badly bent some of the
other seven. All the same, when we
meet Thorn in the New Jerusalem, we
shall expect to see him wearing d
three-ringed halo and twanging a "a
jeweled harp"
| And I'd like to add right here, while
Pm in the humor:
While Br'er Benjamin may wait calm
ly futtering at the gate
He'll long and yearn to have me fol
his host;
/ And he'll take his little Star which h
has carried far
And wish that he could tie it to &
Post.
When he learns that am coming eve
ry pulse will start a-strum
ming.
Il He'll not quiet down until he take
i my hand,
And together we will enter and paHs,
about the center
Of that golden-streeted, pearly
l. gated land.
| AS Pete says: "I'm glad to meetcher,
each will be happy creature,
/ And We'll take the harp that's hand
i ed-that's perhaps;
But while Benjamin's the sharpes
i and no doubt will be s-o-m-
harpist,

traps!
For aeon after aeon we'll conclud

TREMENDOUS INCREASE
. TO TAXATION

Editor Star: Under normal condi-
tions l have always favored and ad-
vocated building permanent pubic
improvements by bonding, that future
generations might be taxed for ben
efits received, but conditions are not
normal, and taxation has already
about reached the point of confisca-
tion.
It does not require bond issue to
enhance values; the board of county
commissioners can do that. It will
be remembered that in 1914 assessed
values in this county were enhanced"
25 per cent in order. as it was claim
ed, to reduce the rate. there being at
the time a clamor about what was
then considered a high rate of tax
alton. For that one year the state
tax rate was reduced from 71z mills
to 511 mills and the county rate from
211s mills to 1515 mills. What has
happened since? We have bolshevik
state administration and criminal ex-
travagance has increased the state
tax rate IS per cent since 1916, and
the county rate has gone back to
21k mills, with extra frills in the
way of sub-school and sub-road dis
trict taxes, several of which are
bonded, and Dunnellon bonded for
both. making the tax rate there 4714
mills, not including town taxes. There
has been no relief in the way of a
reduction of assessed valuation, on
the contrary more than one-half mill
ion dollars has been added to the 1915
valuations by the pen and ink pro-
Icess. It seems to me that the boost
ing of tax values has about reached
the limit, and we need not hope tC
have. assessed property values in
creased very much for the next few
years. In addition to the above the
taxpayers of Ocala are taxed so pei
cent more on city taxes for 1919.
!. The 1919 tax books show a tota
valuation of $7,785. .583. and the bonds
! if they draw interest at per cent
will require levy of 10 mills. to pa!
the interest. and if $5OO,O00 is to b,
: paid off in ten years, it will require ;
levy of mills for sinking fund.
So it had just as well be understood
that the present county tax rate, tn
. highest now in the history of tn
county, will have to be increased a
least 80 per cent.
You stated that the rate for roa,
> purposes eight mills now levied i
the maximum or limit allowed by Law
and can not be increased. If this i
the law. ask the board of county com
t missioners how they have managed +
= avade it. / hold that there is no limi
to taxation. The special session o
e the legislature in December 1915
passed a law authorizing the boar
e of county commissioners of Mario
comfy to borrow money to meet tn
a state and federal aid or appropria
tion for the building of the state roa
: or Dixie Highway from the Alachu
Y county line to the Lake county line
and understand the amount requi1
e ed is $250,000 this to be borrowed fo
four years at 6 per cent. This can b
done with an increased levy of a
average of eight mills for the fou
years. While this is Objectionable O

h ing a high rate. / prefer it to th
y proposed bond issue under existin
conditions. w. w. Clyatt.
