The making Of careful photographs and

easiest and surest way Of ascertaining
just how much harm heels have already

When all the facts brought out by the
examination Of the feet of several million
candidates for tho army and navy are fnally
tabulated 1t is believed that we shall have
SUN more conclusive scientific evidence
that heels OF any height are injurious to
the feet and menace to the general

For years I have been breaking

discrimination made by the tax off,
Gals were not made through an hon
est mistake or any error Of Judgment,
but was done for the purpose of illeg-
ally relieving local resident tax-pay-
ers from bearing their just burdens
and placing upon appellants and
others similarly situated an unjust
part of the taxes of said county; that
the tax officials and the county com.
missioners have followed the afore-
said policy as fixed rule; that repre-.
sentatives of the appellants and other
corporations appeared before the
board Of county commissioners, sit.
ting as board Of equalization and
protested against the determinations
set forth, but hat the board ignored
such protests and sustained the tax
assessor in his policy as stated.
After various pleadings in the cir
cult court, bill of complaint was filed
by the appellants and the complain
ants appealed.
The opinion of the supreme court
takes up the question as to whether
it is permissible to assess all property
in a county for purposes of taxation
upon the basis of so per cent. or any
other fixed percentage of its true cash
value, even though the law provides
for the assessment of property at full
cash value. After a most interesting
discussion of the authorities bearing
upon this question, the opinion states:
Holds Constitutional Provision Not
Mandatory
THE court is placed in a dilemma,
from which it can only escape by TAX.
ing that path which, while it involves
nominal departure from the letter
of the law, does injury to no one, and
secures the uniformity of tax burden
which was the sole end of the consti-
tuition. To hold otherwise is to make
the restrictions Of the constitution in
struments for defeating the very pur-
pose they were intended to subserve.
1t is to stick in the dark and to be
blind to the substance of things. 1t
is to sacrifice justice to an incident.
There are courts which hold that
where it is required by constitutional
provisions or legislative act, that
property shall be assessed at its
full cash value or words. of similar

that the appellants refused to pay the

returns and arbitrarily and without
inquiry and investigation, intention

TWO SENTENCED FOR LIFE
BEFORE COURT ADJOURNED

Circuit court completed its work
Saturday and two in the list drew
life sentences, one for murder and the
other for assault on a female All
sentenced were negroes, and one con-
victed for highway robbery was Civ
en- twenty years. Ben F. Burgess was
the unucky one to draw life SEN
tence for murder of another negro,
which was committed near Lake AL
fred year ago, and j. H. Jackson
drew time for the rest of his life for
the crime of assault, committed last
fall in Lakeland. He was an old
time employee of the A. G. L. shops
in Lakeland, and everyone knew him
as Shorty"
The case of highway robbery was
charged against George Brown. who
was given twenty years, Brown held
up Archie Mann near Mulberry last
year at the point Of a gun in broad
daylight and gave the officers consid-
cradle trouble in capturing him. 1t
was such a plain case, according to
The court, that he was given the lin
it. James McFall who was convicted
OF grand larceny, was given three
years and Prince Simon, convicted of
breaking and entering, received fine
of $3.50 or twelve months and Alex
Lewis, who was convicted of stealing
an automobile, was given three years.

is for assessment. We hold that II
such assessment be uniform and
equal, such infraction of statute does
not afford grounds for a court Of equi-
ty to declare such assessment void"
The opinion then analyses the rec
ords with regard to the charges of
unjust and illegal Determinations
against the appellants. 1t is held as
matter of well settled law that in
territorial, systematic differentiation
by tax officials of other taxable prop
erty in the same class contravenes the
constitutional right of one whose
property is overvalued. Mere err
rors Of Judgment by officials will not
support claim of discrimination
There must be something, which in
effect amounts to an intentional vio-
lation Of the essential principal of
practical uniformity.
rinos properly Overvalued
1t is held also, that valuations for
taxation must adjust relation to
the real and known value of the prop
erty assessed, and not at some un-
known and speculative value; and
there must be no substantial ineauali-
ty in valuations in the various kinds
and items of property that are sub
ject to tax. With reference to the
cases before the court, it is held that
when the assessor has not sufficient
knowledge or information of the real
value of mineral deposit upon which
to base fair and equitable valuation,
he should assess the land upon the
same basis of known value, obtained
as required by law.
The court finds that the charges of
discrimination against the appellants
in making the assessments is sus-
tanned both as to the policy of the tax
assessor and as to the approval of
same by the county commissioners
sitting as board of equalizers, with
respect to the duty Of the county COM
missioners, it is held that "the board
of county commissioners, in this
State, is an essential part of the tax
ing system. Their duties as such are
prescribed by law, and when the men,
bers Of that board, sitting as a board
Of equalizers, deliberately, intention
ally and arbitrarily sustain an assess
ment which they know is unjust and
unequal and discriminating, they per-
petuate a fraud upon the injured tax
payers"
The court finds from admissions
and practically uncontradicted testi-
mony that which has been clearly es-
tablished, that the system of assess
ment adopted and systematically and
Intentionally pursued by the tax as
SCISSOR and the board of county COM
missioners was unjust, arbitrary, and
discriminatory, and in cofitravention
Of the cardinal principles of equality
and uniformity in taxation, required
by the constitution and laws of this
state. Therefore the DEGREES of the
circuit court are reversed.
