DAvY CROCKETT, THE HERO OF
THE ALAMO

He fought for the right, then wen

mo. Crockett was born In Tennessee
In 1855. He came of fighting stock
for his father, a tavern keeper, had
been q soldier In the Revolution.
Young Crockett's early years were
spent In roaming the Tennessee
woods, hunting. He became a re-
nowned bear hunter, fame which he
shared with his favorite rifle, "Old
Betsy"
When the Greek Indians went on the
war path in 1873 Crockett tossed "Old
Betsy" on his shoulder and marched
away to fight the Indians. He served
as scout under Gen. Andrew Jackson
and was In the great Battle of Toho-
peka when "Old Hickory" defeated
Weatherford's warriors.
After the Creek war was over Dayy
returned to Tennessee and entered
politics. From magistrate he rose to
state legislator and next the renowned
bear hunter and scout was sent to
congress where he served two terms.
In February; 1885, Davy with IL of his
Tennessee friends arrived at the Mis-
sion del Alamo where Col. William
Travis with little army of less than
200 men was defying the Mexican die

How BETTER THAN PILLS?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is. they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one
hardly realizes that it is produced by
medicine. Then, they not only
move the bowels but improve the
appetite and strengthen the digestion.

TAXATION

There are number of our citizens
who are unjustly caustic in their crit
icism of the legislature in general and
Representative Hunter in particular
in regard to appropriation and taxa
ton bills.
1t was supposed that the legislature
would be an economical legislature,
but on no legislature since Florida was
a state have such extragant demands
been made.
Our governor opened the ball by
calling members of the taxation COM
mittees into his Office and asking them
to recommend an appropriation of
$250,O0O for additions to the state
capitol. The Star is friend and sup
porter of Gov. Hardee but it considers
that his action in this matter was i'm
proper as well as extravagant.
From that time on it was one dam
thing after another. The school inter
ests have been particularly exorbitant
The school affairs of about forty coun-
ties have been carelessly and extrav-

agantly mismanaged, and they are in
debt to the amount of million dol
lars, and it is demanded Of the legis-
lature that the whole state, including
Marion and other counties that have
been careful. make up this deficit
And on and on, too numerous to
mention.
The taxation the legislature will
levy is only to meet these demands.
Every interest in Florida wants to
pull the states leg, but doesn't want
to pay anything itself
Now for Hunter. He was chairman
Of the committee that drew up the
taxation measure. He could not have
put in single item unless majority
of the committee was with him.
The coil BILL so called. was intend
ed to put heavier load on those best
able to bear it; lighter on those
least able. 1t went thru the House by
a big majority. 1t was killed in Sem
ate committee by corporation infiu-
ence.
The occupation license bill was also
intended to lay the bulk of the burden
on the stronger shoulders. In most
respects, it was good bill. In some
| it wasn't. For instance, the section
regarding wholesale houses was not
equable. 1t is not right to expect such
firms as Pillans & Smith, or Chazal &
Sons of Ocala to pay as much for IL
cense as the Consolidated Grocery
Company and other big firms.
But these things could and doubt
less would have been amended. The
hotel section in the bill would not only
have secured revenue to. the state but
protected the people. 1t has beer
provd beneficial in other states. The
strongest opposition to it came from
the same interests that fought the OF
bill.
So what is the legislature going tt
do about it? 1t will probably yield tt
the clamor of the interested few anC
pile the load on the shoulders of those
who are not able to hire lawyers Of
lobbyists-the common people. Tha
is the class that Charlie Hunter ha.
been working for.

AN OMISSION

There was one thing we particular
ly noticed in Mondays Memorial Day
parade, and had mapped out in our
mind what we would write about it,
but in the hurry of Tuesdays work
and the care needed in fitting many
parts into a coherent article, we for
got it until too late to put it in its
proper place.
1t was the little band of Daughters
of the Confederacy, each carrying a
tiny Confederate flag. and one, Mrs.
Blake, a larger and very bright one,
and all with eyes front to the nations
banner that Haunted bravely in the
lead.
And less than sixty years ago the
Stars and Stripes and the Stars and
Bars fioated defiantly over the heads
of opposing nations.
There is no other land where the
battle flag of conquered nation could
fly free, receive the homage of its
friends and the honor of its once en-
emies. There is no other land where
the flag of conquering nation would
receive the loyal support, the un-
finching honor and devotion of those
who once tried to tear it down.
It's all in the kind of people Amer.
leans are.
There was no organization in Ocals
that was more quick to answer the
call for service than the Daughters OF
the Confederacy at the beginning OF
the war, and none more devoted ane
helpful in proportion to its means.

OCCUPATION TAX BILL
Tampa Tribune)

Tampa .Tribune)
Tallahassee, May 30-The House of
Representatives this afternoon at FIVE
o'clock went into committee of the
whole house for the purpose of consid-
ering the occupational tax bill by the
committee on finance and taxation
The chairman of the committee, Mr..
Hunter, presented bill the licenses
take sof which are not near so large
as the original No. 861 and said he
would propose it as a substitute for
the other bill
He explained that the franchise tax
feature had been left out of the bill
as it now was. and that many other
features had been considerably modi-
| fed.
After it had boon considered for a
half hour or more, Mr. Minner of Du-
val said he thought he realized the
hopeiessness of giving such bill the
consideration it deserved at this stage
of the session. He would not make a
motion, he said. to indefinitely post
pone the bill, but he would like to
hear suggestions from some other
members of the House as to their
views along this line.
Mr.. Edge of Lake said that as a
member of the committee which had
prepared the bill he thought it was a
good measure, but that personally he
did Not care. Before taking his seat,
he said. he wanted to say that Mr..
Hunter had worked very hard on the
bin, and to him was due the credit, in
his opinion. for getting up good bill
Mr.. Young of st. Lucie county, also
member of the committee, spoke
along he same line. complimenting
Mr. Hunter on the work he had done
but declaring that as far as he was
concerned it mattered not whether
the bill was further considered or not
: In his talk on the subject, Mr.. Hun.
ter said, among other things, that
"the corporation-owned newspapers
had misrepresented his bill, just be
cause they did not understand it. He
thought the passage of the modified
bill was necessary if there was any
hope of meeting the appropriation!
of this legislature without greatly in
creasing the tax millage."
Mr.. Stokes said he was advised tina
it would be improper to move to in
definitely postpone the bill in commit
tee of the whole house, btu that h,
would make motion that the bill b
: reported unfavorably by the commit
tee and that would bring out tn
merits of the measure, the same a
the other motion.
Mr.. Hunter moved as substitute
for the Stokes motion that 400 copie
of the bill be ordered printed and tina
further consideration be deferred un
til Wednesday. This was agreed t
4 and the committee rose
Resuming its session the Hous
. adopted the suggestion agreed upo
and the bill was sent over to tn
printer.
