OF FLORIDA
TAX COLLECTORS

The Tax COLLECTORS Association Oh
the state of Florida met in annual
session in 0cala, Dec. 14th and 18th,
and was well attended.
Mr.. j. Will Yon, state auditor. was
present by invitation and gave the
tax collectors many valuable sugges-
items in handling their work. He ex-
pressed qualification at the condition
of their accounts, and his appreciation
of their cooperation with his depart
ment. He stated that the accounts of
the various collectors were better
kept and in better shape now than at
any time in the history Of the state.
The state auditor is arranging to in
stall bookkeeping machine in his
Office, and send each collector state
ment of his account each month, which
will be greatly appreciated by the col
lectors. AS matter of fact, reso-
luton was passed two years ago by
shis association, recommending that
the state auditor be given sufficient
number Of assistants to enable him to
make thorough audit of each tax
collectors account at least once each
year, and this was done by the last
Legislature.
Among matters of interest brought
before this meeting was the question
OF better revenue. law, it being the
belief of the tax collectors that those
who have to administer the law are
in position to make suggestions to
our law makers in regard TO improve
nents and changes that are badly
needed, and committee for this pur-
pcse was appointed, consisting of W.
w. Stripping of Marion, John D. jim
kins of Seminole, w. e. Martin of Or
ance. and w. G. Long of Lake.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the association that the time for the
payment of licenses and taxes should
not be changed. as the taxpayers gen.
orally throughout the state receive
their returns for citrus fruits, farm
products and vegetables in the fall
and spring and at present they car
pay their taxes at any time from Nov
/ 1st to March 31st, or by paying the
slight cost of advertising can take un.
It'll the first of June before the lane
is sold for taxes Any change Of
these dates would be grave error
land would result in endless confusion
and hardship on the part of the tax
payers.
The tax collectors present expressed
their unqualified approval of the &C
Ition of President Murphree in his en-
deavor to stamp out the practice o.
hazing in the state university a

iadopted for the courtesies EXTENDED

WAR BEING MADE
ON BRITISH CABLES
(Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 16.-Disposition
of former German cables seized by
the allies and the refusal of the gov
ernment to permit the Western Union
Co. to land its Barbados cable at
Miami was inquired into yesterday by
special Senate committee.
Acting Secretary Davis. of the state
department, said with reference to
German cables, that the American
government had insisted that the Uni
ted States had right to a direct con-
nection with Germany such as we had
before the war.
At the peace conference, Mr.. Davis
said, Great Britain, France and Japan
contended that. the German cables
were prizes, of war. It was the Am
erican contention that they should be
returned practically to their former
users. An agreement was finally
reached that Germany should cede the
cables to the allied powers, offsetting
their value against the reparation to
be exacted. Their future status was
left for later determination.
No communication between the
United States and Germany is now
available, Mr.. Davis said, except over
the British controlled lines.
With reference to the Western I'm
ion Barbados cable, Mr.. Davis said
President Wilson had refused to per-
nit this line to be landed on American
soil because it would connect with the
system of the Western Telegraph Co.
of Great Britain, which employed
';monopolistic" privilege in Brazil
from which Americans were excluded.
1.-THE president" said Mr.. Davis,
decided that the Western Union ap-
plication for the Miami landing should
be postponed pending the information
al communication congress. when the
question of monopoly was to be dis
cussed. 1t appeared that the West
ern Union intended to disregard this
warning and the president took steps
throught the navy department to pre-
vent the landing"
A tentative agreement that "no cen
sorship shall be imposed upon mes
sages merely passing through relay
ro;nts" has been reached by the inter-
rational communications conference
here, Walter S. Rogers, one of the
American commissioners to the con-
ference, declared. before Senate
committee investigating the whole
question of cable communications
Senator Kellogg, republican, Mime
sofa. asked Mr.. Rogers if he knew OF
any instances where American busi-
ness messages passing the British CEN
sorship during the war were copied
end turned over to English traders.
81 heard a great deal of complaint
of that" Mr.. Rogers said, "but have
never followed up any Instances. We
| are in some instances in the same po-
sltion Germany was when she began
building her own cables, and are see
ing the Importance of having our own
cables. Cabling landings in foreign
countries are made subject to condi-
tons of varying exactness."

A National Art School.

Joseph Pennell, one of the best
known Of American artists, urges in a
lecture the establishment here of q
national school Of art, conducted on
the principle of the military and naval
academies, and at the same high stand
ard of efficiency. In this connection
Mr.. Pennell points out the exceptional
advantages offered by the capital for
such training as an institution of this
kind would afford.
It has been often noted that Wash
ington possesses the equipment and
the environment for national art cen
ter. Mr.. Pencils proposition goes
further than any heretofore, in that
it aims at distinct government 'ac-
tivity. It is an advanced idea, but
not too much so to be seriously con-
sidered. Any forward movement must
have a beginning and sometimes be-
ginning is bit startling to conserva-
tive thought.
Washington as training ground for
the artistic talents of the youth of
America, chosen from all the states,
would add to the national welfare. Art
has a commercial, an industrial valua-
tion. 1t is not merely a matter of
making pictures or sculptures. In the
applied arts are many opportunities for
practical essential works. The utility
of such a school cannot be doubted
when one contemplates the incalculable
value of the work of the patent Office,
which is conservator of art in another
line.
A national art school conducted by
the government on lines such as those
indicated by Mr.. Pennell would be
one Of the richest investments the gov
ernment ever made. The plan is
worthy of deep consideration, even in
these days of curtailment and econ.
omy. Is there the vision in Congress
today to see the value that lies in this
ideas
