GOVERNOR WITHOUT POWER
TO EXTEND TAX PERIOD
(By ]. E. Worthingtonl

Tallahassee, April 16-The publ
city bill which will cause county CON-
missioners, city councils and other
bodies spending money raised by tax
alton to keep the people informed of
their acts through publication in
the newspapers, has at last been
shaped up and will be introduced in
both house and senate in the next few
days 1t will be handled by Senator
w. NJ. Igou, of Lake County, and Rep
resentative j. H. Scales, Of Perry,
Taylor county. Both are much i'm
pressed with the outlines of the bill
which has been endorsed by the Flor,
ida Press Association and the South
Florida Press Association in their re-
cent annual meetings. Senator Igou
Is one of the strong men of the SEN
ate, having been member for sew
eral years and those who are pushing
the bill are much pleased with his
support of it. He has long been an
active business man in Lake county
His county commissioners have at
various times adopted the policy OF
printing their proceedings and he has
seen the advantage of it. Besides he
is thoroughly convinced of the fact
that the people have right to know
just what is being done with their tax
money. Representative Scales is a
banker at Perry, Taylor county. His
county, too, at various times printed
proceedings of it's county commission
ers. Mr.. Scales is a new member but
has wide acquaintance among the
business men of the state and partic-
ularly among the good roads advo-
Gates and. will be one of the active
members of the house. With both
west and south Florida working for
the bill it ought to secure a favorable
standing.
Attorney General Buford, too, is
much impressed with the desirability
OF publicity of governing bodies ac-
tions and it was he who drew the ten
tative bill of which Messrs. Igou and
Scales have registered approval.
Copies of the bill as it will be intro
duced will soon be given out. Mem
bers Of the house and senate gener-
ally seem much impressed with the
idea that the newspapers of the state
have united in support Of this meas.
ure on the basis that it is in the in
terest of the tax paying public more
| than any other interest.
