ABANDON EFFORT
TO EQUALIZE TAXES
Senate Fears it Would Be too Radical
a Step at the Present Time

TALLAHASSEE, May 19.-The
Senate Thursday morning abandoned
the effort to get the constitution
amended so as to make it possible to
classify all property for the purposes
of taxation, fearing it would be too
radical step to take at this time, and
instead debated over proposition
which will permit the classification of
intangible properties only. It amend
ed this to prescribe that the rate on
such properties shall not be more than
five mills and then laid the entire
subject NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Kutchs
proposal for an amendment to the. con-
stituion-over as a special order for
Friday morning.
Futch's proposition and the commit
tee bill from the Senate, embodying
what have become known as the Per-
ry Will amendments, were before the
Senate Thursday morning. The Sem
ate and House amendments started
out the same but the House amend
ment had been changed somewhat be-
fore it reached the Senate so that the
Senate took it up first. Senator Cal
lxins offered substitute for the first
section of the proposal. which dealt
with classification of property. He
explained that his substitute gave
power to the Legislature to make
classes only Of intangible personal
property, such as stocks. mortga ges.
etc. It had been thought too radical
a step, said he, to permit the iegisla-
ture to classify all property. The. sub
stitute he offered, he, said, was the
one prepared by w. A. Blount, of PEN
sacola, who with Mr.. Wall was mem
Der of the special commission on taxa
ton which reported to the 1919 ses-
sion OF the legislature. Apparently
Mr.. Blount and Mr.. Wall did not agree
on the matter for Mr.. Calkins explain
ed that the substitute he offered today
did not give power to classify any
but intangible personal property.
Senator Turnbull offered an amend
ment to this substitute which provided
that the rate on intangibles should not
be greater than three mills. Senator
Calkins thought three mills too small
a rate and suggested that many forms
of intangible property could well af-
ford to pay larger rate. Senator
weaver thought it unwise to tax in
tangible property. fearing it would
drive money out Of the banks and out

YON TAKES ISSUE
TO SAVE OFFICE
Prepares Statement Regarding Bill to
Abolish office Of Auditor.
INV IoAN c. rRIcEl

(By JOHN c. TRiCE)
TALLAHASSEE. May 19.--The Hon. ].
viii Yon. state auditor, this morning
rrepared and gave out to the press the
following statement regarding the bill
10 abolish the office over which he pre-
sides:
As to Senate Bill n, to Abolish the
Office of state Auditor:
There could be only two economical
reasons for the passage of the bill:
|. Greater economy.
2. Greater efficiency.
There would be no economy, for the
work can be performed as economically
under an Independent department, and
very possibly for less. by reason of the
operation of Section Is of the bill. which
allows a special auditor TO audit the
comptroller, for there is no way of esti-
mating what this special auditor may
cost as commercial auditors are ex-
pensive, working at a per diem of around
$500 per day.
The question OF economy does not
hinge on what is paid in salaries, etc,
to the auditors, whether working under
the comptroller or functioning as an in
dependent department. But the question
Is results obtained for the money spent.
In the last four years, during my term
Of office as state auditor, we have dis
covered about n quarter million dollars
shortages, and sent several men TO the
penitentiary. BY the proper system OF
auditing could these shortages have been
prevented, and the men saved from penal
dishonor, the money spent to accomplish
that would have been economy.
This is the kind OF economy the audit
ing department, as at present function
ing, is evidencing. We are eliminating
possibilities for shortages.
To consolidate the auditing under the
comptroller is unsound in principle:
1. The whole financial fabric of the
state government, and the counties like
wise, centers in the office of comptrol-
Ter. And to make the comptroller the
state auditor, there is no way you can
fix 1t, but what the comptroller to some
extent will he his own auditor.
2. Were senate bill z become law, il
would be imperative and ineffective, be-
cause an appropriation of only $4,000 is
carried. The salaries above provided by
the bill is $4,000. This would leave
nothing to pay travelling expenses OF
auditors and salaries of two office clerks
10 work office data for auditors and keer
them busy.
3. The state auditor should be abso-
lutely free, independent and unhampered
He must be impartial judge, and his
interest in no wise touched by the scope
of his duties. He should be an official
who handles no public moneys at all.

State Auditor.

In an arraignment of the state live

Tuesday. Mr.. Crofton, of Washington
county said that his county was Dip
ping cows. That they were told by
the inspectors that II they would dip
every IA days until they had dipped
Ia times, they would be declared tick
free. That they had dipped IS times.
and now it had been impossible for
them to get an inspector to go over
there or an order declaring the coun-
ty tick free.
In the house one day this week sew
eral Of the members had paid their
respects to justices Of the peace, one
member going so far as to say that
j. p. stood for Judgment for the
plaintiff" Mr.. Richbourg of Okaloosa
interrupted the discussion to say that
he had been justice of the peace for
a number of years and that his motto
had been: Inasmuch as We expect
mercy, be merciful unto others. The
raw feeling of the members who had
been relieving that condition Of raw
ness at the expense of the justices
was at once turned in another direc-
ton.
It makes a whole lot of difference
whose OK is gored. II banking bill

is introduced it goes to committee
dominated largely by doctors, if ball

when it was proposed on the floor of
the house Tuesday by Mr.. Newton that
only cattle owners should be allowed
to sign petitions to call compulsory.

elections, some folks threw up their
hands in holy horror.
In debate on the floor Of the house
a few days ago, Mr.. Etheridge Of De-
Soto county, referred to my five

distinction that has never come to any
other member of the legislature of
Florida. He came here representing
one, but, now he really does represent
five.
Mr.. Register, who resides in the new
county of Union. says that the an
nouncement that he is a candidate for
clerk of the court for the new county
is little premature. He says he has
made no such announcement, and does
not see how he could accept it. An

Of the man running after the office.
The learned men, self admittedly
long on the science of ticks, have dis
covered that the Texas cattle tick is a
parasite, and that he she or it is in
fectious and contagious. The lawmak-
ing purveyors Of modern tick science
are responsible for this assertion. How
wonderful that we have gotten along
so well for thousands Of years in ig-
norance Of this fact. Add this to Jim
French's theory. It is to say the least
equally as important as curio.
The volume Of local laws passed by
this legislature will not be as large
as the New Century dictionary, but 1t
will be an incense volume, while the
book containing the general laws will
be one decidedly more modest in size.
If there is any subjects that has not
been legislated upon in local meas
ure already no one need despair. It
will have attention before the end of
the session.

Missionaries try, so far ~ possible,
to arrange marriages between Chris

spondent, was getting quite an old
maid, having reached the age Of twen-
ty-eight. Several heather had asked
her. but she refused them all. One Of

lady. We all thought II would come
