To the people of the state of Florida there will
be submitted at the next general election in No
vember, two amendments TO the state constitu
ton for their approval rejection .
Because of the fact that we are entering upon
Il statewide primary Tor the selection of nominees
to f state and national offices, it will be well
lor the people to begin now to consider the
amendments TO be submitted and to make up
their minds as to the advsability of so changing
the constitution to comply with the PROPOSE.
tions submitted.
The first. of these amendments is one relating
to the public schools. Special tax scASol districts
are by the present law restricted to the raising
OF a tax amounting to not more than three mills
upon the assessed value of the property in the
district. Every district in Dade county now i'm
poses that tax by vote OF the people of the dis,
tyct.
The new amendment would permit the people
in special tax school districts to vote a tax OF
ten mills
There is very little necessity for arguing the
necessities of the public schools to Dade county
audience. Every person in this county knows
tnat dire danger is threatening public schools
because OF lack of funds The law restricts
the amount that can be raised, and the demands
oil the past have compelled the school board to
exceed its income by a very large amount.
Unless something is done, the schools of Dade
County face the same situation that developed
last fall, when the bankers of this city came
60 the rescue of the school board
Ine raising of the millage in special tax school
districts from three to ten will materially relieve
the situation, especially with a readiustment OF
the assessments of the county that WILL in al
probability, be brought about by the state tax
equalizer.
1t is, therefore, necessary, that the people o.
the state adopt that proposed amendment and
tnat bade county, in order to assure it's adoption
vote as unit in favor of the proposition
The other proposed amendment relates to the
re-apportionment of the representation OF the
state in the Legislature. 1t requires the legisla
tuEe OF 1923 to re-apporton the state and in case
OF the refusal OF that body to heed the mandate OF
the constitution, it requires the governor to cal.
an extraordinary session of the legislature. i'm.
medately, to enact the proper measure.
Specially, the apportionment will give
Dade county one senator and three members OF
the lower house, thus giving the county much
!alrer representation than it has ever had in the
past quarter of century
Re-apportionment is exceedingly imrortan.
measure, and although the proposition to be sub
mltted is not all that could be desired vet it is &
long step toward equitable representation in thf
states legislative body
Tne Herald relies upon the people of Dade
county to assist in putting both amendments into
the constitution in the coming election

And she always came down dressed

There was another, the queen of the

Baltimore Woman Says Tan
lac Is wonderful BLESSING.

The evidence regarding the value OF
Tanlac in the treatment of stomach
trouble with its many attendant ills
is too conclusive to even admit OF
doubt. Thousands throughout the con-
tinent have testified to the remark
able merits of the medicine and the
list of testimonials grows daily as
new tests of its powers are made.
Among the many Baltimore people
who have expressed deep gratitude as
result of having found such a great
source of relief is Mrs. J. Soper, resid-
ing at 16}5 West LanVale street, who
says
'Tanlac has been a blessing to me
that | can never forget. 1t has helped
