Let me but linger longer ii may
To work that straying sunbeam in the gray,
One touch fcoor-then I'm on my way
I'm coming Dear!
How near you seem-TIow dear the Long ago
out of the night your presence hovers near;
The scent of Jessamtne hangs in the air
How oft they nestled in your golden hair
Is it your step / hear upon the stair,
I'm coming Dear
Time flies Dear Heart, and soon the race Is run
The Golden hours we barter day by day
But love leaves memories when friends have gone
Ave Golden dreams of conquests We have now
My step is slow-what matters now I'm done
Yes coming Dear!
Dear Master may / enter into rest
Aye there is One with you to plead my cause;
How good that we shall know as we are known
And live with three in bliss thru time to come

of this favorite amusement and the
Coca-Cola tax by those who indulge
in this beverage. 1t is done on the
theory that those who dance must
pay the fiddler" 1t is very old and
popular proposition. And the gaso-
line tax will be collected in the same
manner. 1t will not require an army
of officials to perform the task. The
tax on gasoline will be paid by the
consumer, of course, who will be per-
fectly willing to pay it if in return he
can be assured of good roads for he is
perfectly aware that a gallon of gaso-
line will carry him ever so much
further over a good than a bad road;
then, too, he will be relieved of the
danger of being begged up, sand-stall-
ed or with having one or more springs
broken, to say nothing of the enjoy
ment he will receive by gliding over
a hard smooth road built by govern
ment experts who understand the
business of road building. Besides,
and it is well to stick pin here:
The visitors to the state will con-
tribute their full quota to the building
of the roads if a tax on gasoline is
enacted into law. There can be no
easier method proposed or adopted.
But as matter of course there will
be kickers. 1t is there one enjoyment
in life. 1t is their pleasure and pas
time. And the more erudite ones who
may for one cause or another opposed
to the proposition will set up all man
ner of "scare-crows."

What Will 1t Cost?

What will it cost me?"
That is the question being asked
by automobile owners throughout
the state. Many of them have been
ed broadcast by the opposition to the
proposed constitutional amendment,
which will either be acted upon favor
ably or rejected by the citizens Of
Florida in November. The owners
have the right to know exactly how
they will be affected.
While The Metropolis was conduct
ing it's investigation, prior to taking
an Interchangeable stand on the propo-
stion, a prominent man Of the state
was asked his sentiemnts in regard to
the issue. 81 am in favor of good roads
always" he replied, "but it is unjust
to force me to pay 800 year for the
privilege of driving a car in this
state.'
Yes, 500 would be an imposition on
automobile owners, and such an enor-
nous tax would discourage the car
and truck industry, but this man, who
happens to possess a roadster of the
lightest type, would pay $3.50, or an I'M
crease of $3.50 over his present license
per annum, towards the construction
of permanent highways in Florida.
Other cars of varying sizes would pay
in proportion on increasing horse
power.
This is based on the TACT that, if
the proposed constitutional amend
ment is ratified by the people, the
present automobile license tax in Flor
ida will be increased fifty per cent.
Even if it was increased one hundred
per cent, the tax would still be less
than it is at present in number of
states So the opposition cannot claim
discrimination against those who are
fortunate enough to own motor-driven
vehicles.
This increase in tax is very reason
able. Good roads would be a wonder
full investment to the owner at this
rate, for in one months time that
amount would be saved in tires and
repairs. 1t is just that the automobile
owners should pay for something that
is directed squarely at their best in
terest, and the majority of them have
expressed appreciation of this fact.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment should be carried.-Florida Me-
tropolis.
