OF far more Importance than the
proposed reapportionment m II d =
ment is the proposed amendment con-
cerning the millage that may be
levied for school purposes in special
tax school districts. While the
schools in every county of the state
have been growing by leaps and
bounds during the past several years,
no provision has been made to take
care of the increased expense, the
constitution limiting the amount that
may be levied for general school pur-
poses and special tax district pur-
poses This has resulted in deDlor-
able conditions all over the state,
many schools having been closed dur
ing the middle of the term last yeaI.
while many others were kept open
with money raised by passing the hat,
so to speak. If the proposed amend
sible for the taxpayers of special tax
school districts to vote upon them
selves taxes sufficient for the needs
OF their schools, up to 10 mills. Vot-
ing for the amendment does not mean
that a 10-mill tax will be levied, how
ever and this is point that should
be carried in mind. There can be
no increase in the tax unless a ma
jority of the taxpayers of the dis
tricts vote to increase it at district
elections, which are held every two
years, and none but taxpayers may
vote in these district elections. 1t
| is expected that everyone interested
in the schools of the state will vote
for this amendment and that it will
be adopted by a large majority.

ALAS THE ANGLE WORM!

And now we have device by
which the angle worm is hunted in
his lair, brought to the surface to be
devoured for the sustenance of the
great American hen. Peter j.
O'Keefe, of Greenwich, Connecticut,
is the inventor.
The device is an electrical one and
literally shocks the worms out of the
ground. 1t consists of two brass rods
that are pushed into the earth several
feet apart A wire is attached to
each rod and each wire connects with
an ordinary telephone magnetic.
/ BY twisting the handle of the mag
neto the angle worm feels it is time
to take the air. Rapidly he moves
to escape, but alas! the chicken is
waiting, and as soon as the worm
imagines he is safe from danger his
troubles come to an end.
Thus does the world move on. II
the mentality of the angle worm were
properly developed, he would sense
the greater danger OF leaving MS
natural environment,
AS time goes on and the standard
of angle worm intelligence advances,
things may improve for him; but in
the meantime, he will have to look
for temporary protection to the Amer
lean Society for the Prevention of
nj
zatiOn which undoubtedly will come
into being as soon as the cruelty of
the O'Kcefe device is conceived.
Surely such an opportunity for a
new protective and paternalistic So
cety cannot be missed.

We Have No Kick Coming

We hear lot of kicks these days.
Kicks about the high cost of living
kicks about the hard life of working,
kicks about the weather and kicks
about everything on earth. Did you
ever stop to think about the people
of the earth not so well situated as
are the free born people OF America
and the way in which they live and
have their being. Maybe you have
never sailed from American shores
for foreign shores. If you have not
you will never fully realize what a
great country you have here in the
good old U. S. A. You will continue
to kick because you have everything
you want and being self satisfied
there is nothing to do but kick. If
you could just get away from Ameri-
ca for twelve months or so and take
trip over the European countries
or the Orient and see how much bet
ter the people of this country are
situated, you would return with the
you have everything in the world on
the other fellow and that your lot
in America is a bed of roses compared
with that of people of many of the
foreign countries.
And down here in Florida we are
really sitting on the top OF the world.
Strikes and high freight rates might
slow up in the march toward real
prosperity but we always have a
comeback and great recuperatiye
powers. We are not especially con-
cerned with the coal strike down here
in this part of the state for we have
plenty of wood to burn in the winter
and do not need much for heat and
warmth. If the entire structure of
the worlds progress was to be torn
down temporarily we could manage
to exist in Florida better perhaps
than in any other part of the coun-
try. We could come as near living
within ourselves as any part OF the
civilized world and when you come
to take stock you will find that your
lot is really a happy one compared
with others.
We really have but few kicks
real kicks-and We should be the
happiest and the most contented peo-
pie on the earth.-Sanford Herald.

Robert Holly in mis- Sanford Herald
discusses polntedly t h @ prevalent
practice or custom of raising through
special and direct taxation, amounts
of money desired to be spent for OBJ
jects of interest to all the people of
a community. This is what he says:
The Herald wishes to state that
the budget system for the expenses
that we are called upon to pay every
year is the way of raising this public
money. The Herald for one is heart
lily in favor Of all the business men
of Sanford combining and refusing to
have anything to do with any more
drives for money, Every bit of this
money should come from the city
treasury levied on the tax payers
alike and not put upon the shoulders
of the business men of Sanford al
ready stopped down and bumped
over bearing the burden of years OF
constant driving.
/ Evidently the business men of San
ford have been rounded up for this
cause and that until the limit of pa
thence has been reached and the pri-
vate treasury exhausted. Every

fact that it is the rankest kind OF dis

it will show the greatest growth in
any 1O-year period OF its history
Booms are all right sometimes
but often they are built on bubbles
and when these blow up-oh. what
a weeping and wailing! Even yet
when the winds blow from the north
we can hear the despairing sobs OF
those who imagined a city could be
built overnight with a bubble fol
it's foundation, and that it would
stand. Yes, we are growing-slowly
it may seem sometimes-but it is a
healthy, permanent growth that may
make us a city by the time some one
time sO-called cities have become vii
lagos again.

The senior member of the Herald
staff suggests that we may be pre-
mature in spending all these millions
of dollars in constructing good roads.
He believes that before another fifty
years roll by, we will have but little
use for paved roads, and that the
crying need then will be for landing
fields for aircraft, which will be the
chief, if not the only mode of trans
portation. In those days, he says,
owners of landing fields and airplancs
hangers will reap the great financial
harvest now being reaped by the
garage men.

For several months past there has
been a great deal of discussion pro
and con by the press concerning the
proposed constitutional amendment
providing for reapportiOnmCnt, the
Tampa Tribune leading the opposi-
ton. SO far the press seem to be
enjoying most of the excitement over
the matter, the general public having
displayed no disposition to tear its
shirt either for or against, and it is
safe to say the averages voter does
not know any more about the good
and bad points of the proposed
amendment than he did before being
surrcited with column after column
of editorial opinion and advice, al
though he may have 4 vague idea that
ii is not all that could be desired by
South Florida people and will not i'm
mediately give South Florida ma,
iority in the legislature. We dom
want to argue about the matter
either in private or through the paper
but while we do not believe the pro
posed amendment is all that could bt
desired from a South Floridiant
point of view, we shall vote for it il
the belief that it may do us som,
cood and cannot do us any harm.

Punta GOrda is growing not in
the boom manner of some other
towns, it is true-but steadily and
bstantially. During the past two
years great many handsome new
residences have gone up and there
has been some building for business
purposes, and it continues Notwith-
standing the fact that every old house
has been re-modeled and many new
ones have been constructed. there are
no vacant houses. The town has
shown a steady growth ever since the
first settlers pitched their tents here
and there is every reason to believe
that when the next census is taken
