there is a low assessed valuation. Be
sides that. such county will require
many miles Of the new roads proposed
under this amendment, for which the
rest of the state viii pay, for which
Dade county will be compelled to give
an undue share, while reaping for it
self only an indirect return.
Is it fair, Therefore, to compel Dade
county to pay a tax to provide other
counties that lack them with good
roads while receiving nothing for it
self? Is it fair to compel Dade. county
to pay for another county's roads
when it has already paid for its own
If Dade county were the only one
that would be called upon to pay for
roads in other parts of the state, it
might be passed by without objection,
but there are number of others, like
Broward county, Palm Beach county,
Orange county, Polk county and
others. They are being asked to pay
for the development Of backward sec
tions of the state, after having as
sumed the burden of developing their
own, and it is a fair question to ask.
is it an equitable proposition?
Already it is said that the counties
that heretofore have declined to pay
for roads for themselves are enthus-
iastic in support of this movement
that will provide roads at a very
small cost to themselves and at the
expense OF. the more progressive parts
OF the state.
When it is considerd that the
amendment may be adopted by a ma
jority vote of the people at the next
general election and that the couu-
ties that have very few if any good
roads have it in their power to compel
the counties that already have good
roads to pay the largest part of the
taxes on the proposed bonds, it can be
stated without fear of reasonable con-
tradiction, that it is an inequitable and
unfair demand. and that It is not lit
tieness that suggests that it ought not
to be done. Miami Herald.
Marion county has bonded itself
for 100000 to complete links in the
chains of two of the most important
state roads-its taxes this year will
be 80 mills. and we are willing to bet
its vote will be at least three to one
against the amendment.

THE CHARGE OF LITTLENEss

In the very few papers of the state
that are tentatively supporting the
proposed bond amendment to the state
constitution-not more than two of
them, by the way-the argument, if
it can be called an argument, that the
counties which have already provided
themselves with extensive good roads
should not be so small minded as to
vote against the amendment because
the counties which have neglected to
follow that policy will be benefited, is
exploited to the limit.
Littleness is charged to the papers
who direct attention to the inequity
Of requiring progressive counties to
pay, not only for their own roads but
for the roads of those who have here
tofore objected to doing their share IN
state development.
But, after all, it is a question of
fairnes and honesty. Take any one
progressive county, for instance, say,
Dare county This county has always
Eeen an advocate of good roads. 1t
was the first county in the state to de-
velop system of roads. 1t has bond
ed itself heavily to construct such
roads as were demanded and its sys-
tenn now is very nearly complete. The
roads are pride to citizens of the
county and a joy to those who are
privileged to use them.
The Herald has not at hand the
figures to indicate how much money
.1aae, lad
roads, but many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been spent and
TO good purpose. Dade county does
not need state aid, she has gone ahead
of the state and has provided for her
own household.
Now comes this proposition TO per-
nit the legislature to bond the state
for very large amount of money.
Dade county is prosperous and by
reason of the fact that her citizens
have been enterprising, industrious
and frugal and by reason of the fact
that she has good system of roads,
her assessed valuation is high, much
higher than a majority of the coun-
ties of the state. If taxes are assess
ed upon the real and personal prop
erty of the state to pay the interest
on the proposed bonds and to provide
for a sinking fund by which the
bonds are eventually to be retired
Dade county will pay, as matter Of
course, a very large amount of the
tax.

Make CITY

In connection with a city plan. the
following bit of wisdom from a bank
publication in connection with munich
pal development has been sent to the
EVENING NEWS:
"If a man would realize his am
billions, he must recognize his limita-
tions. This rule holds good in the life
of a corporation. of a municipality, of
a nation. We are fond of dreaming
dreams, and frequently, through de-
sire, we make the dream come true:
but every man and every community
can dream more dreams in a day than
they can realize in a century, and none
of the dreams will come true unless
two things happen. First, that they
stop dreaming for a time. and begin
work, and second, that they do not try
to put all the dreams into operation at
once. when they only have ability TO
create one or two of the projects fore
Swallowed in their dreams.
EVERY city is emerging from the
shadow of q great world war which
arrested normal developments and
forced extraordinary expenditure of
money and utilization of energy along
lines that did not make for permanent
Improvement. We must get back to
normal. Many things clamor for the
doing. Nothing will be done unless we
eliminate the non-essentials and con-
centrate on the essentials. The funda-
mentals in a great city are streets that
can b. used for traffic and that are safe

GETTING OUT FROM UNDER.


We do not know the motive back Of
the bill that has passed the state
senate which authorizes a state tax in
stead Of n referendum bond issue, on
the $4,000, 900 which is the share OF
this state on the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
bridge and the New York-New Jersey
tunnel. but 1t looks to us as If the
hackers of these projects are beginning
to doubt the outcome of the referen-
dunn that must be held before the state
can be bonded for any such amount
and they are attempting TO saddle this
enormous load on the people regard
less of popular feeling on the matter.
In some quarters. particularly in
ICamden and Jersey City. It seems to be
taken for granted hat the bridge and
tunnel projects are going through.
Philadelphia and New York seem to
accept New Jerseys part OF the two
projects as settled and all that Is need
ed is for the authorities across the line
to do their part to have the work start
ed.
But It has been one OF the proud
years hat this is one state in the
Union that has no debt. No doubt this
HAPPY condition is due to the wise
provision in the state constitution that
mo state debt greater than 100000
shall be created without the direct
vote of the people. Up until q year or
two ago there was no state tax. but
when the state highway system was
adopted a provision was made in the
direct state tax.
Now comes along more millions that
the state would spend, but because of
the firm stand taken by Governor Ed
wards against further increase of the
state tax and the popular feeling that
the cost of such permanent improve
ments as q tunnel and bridge should
not be saddled all on the present
generation, the plan has been to sub
init the cost of these projects to the
lpeople for the issuing of state bonds
to pay for the work.
But the $2S.O0O.oo0 for the bridge
and tunnel are not the only projects
for which bond issues are desired.
There is $1,000 900 more for buying
the right of way for the Translate
ship canal, more millions for bonuses
for soldiers. and still more millions for
the state institutions. amounting in all
to something like SOS. 900. 600.
Realizing the awful burden it is go
ing to be for the taxpayers to even
meet the interest on such an enormous
debt, the hackers Of the bridge and
tunnel projects would like to get their
pet project out from under and, APP
parently, have attempted to resort to
the direct state tax method thereby
escaping the referendum on the bond
issue, which, considering the awful
load, the voters are likely to reject.
But the people of the state will
] stand for no such underhanded
methods. They demand the right to
| decide for themselves whether the
state shall enter into this work at this
time. We want no more state tax,
especially for something that is to
benefit mainly Hudson and Camden
counties. Taxes are high enough al
ready. The bill creating this state tax
which has passed the senate, Is now
pending in the House. The assembly
should Kill It.
