AGAINST THE TAX

Editor Star: / thought | would
write you something of our WoOdmen
convention, but it was such whopper
thought / would leave it to Leaven-
good. After supper Mr.. Colbert made
US a little talk, saying he was elected
to the office he holds by the people OF
Marion county, but think this Is NOT
so. think he must have been elected
by the people of Ocala and not the
entire county, and | also think he will
not hold the said Office again if he
waits on the entire county's vote. Mr..
Colbert spoke of the necessity of
adding more mills to our already
overburdened taxpayers, as the
teachers of Marion county were lesser
paid than those of any other county.
He might also have said that other
counties have better roads and less
heavy taxes than we have, but | sup
pose he forgot that. | think also that
the teachers as rule are better paid
than some of them are really worth.
| am glad to see you still hitting at
those high taxes. Keep the good work
going. Respectfully yours,
York, Fla. A taxpayer.
The gentleman who wrote the fore
going is a representative of the class
for which the Star has been speaking,
lie has done all he could for education
and other good causes, but he pays a
much higher proportion of taxes on
his property than a number of our
well-to-do men, and his burdens have
already strained him closely to the
breaking point. Men in the cities
who are heavily taxed. but who never.
theless have enough left for a com.
Portable living are somehow not able
to put themselves in the places OF
those who have to count every ten
cent piece, yet these last bear the
greater proportion of the public bur
den.

There seems to be misunderstand-
ing somewhere. Saturday, the Star
printed an article referring to the
substitute to Representative Forts
bill, which he resigned to prevent in
jury to the roads and bridges of Mar
ion county. The article closed by
saying the people of the county knew
nothing about the bill. Tuesday, we
received letter from Mr.. Fort, say
ing this statement was erroneous. We
want Mr.. Fort to have square dear
on everything, but we cannot at pres
ent see the error. Mr.. Fort sent the
Star copy of the original bill, and
it was published, but it was under
stood that the bill was amended. II
the bill passed was the original bill
the people of the county are well post
ed on it; if it is another they are not;
if it is the original bill amended, very
few people here know what the
amendments are. The statement in
the Star that the bill was put thru
the House three times in succession
being read by its title only, was taken
directly from the House Journal Mr.
Fort means well, but framing coun-
ty bill is a thankless task. The Star
doesn't believe in county road bills
anyhow. There should be one law for
the entire state, and one law for the
United States would be better.
