EoUALED ASSESSMENT
(St. Petersburg independently

The city commissioners are now trying to find
three men who really know property values in
st. Petersburg to serve as members of the city
board of assessors. They want men who are
familiar with the sales that have recently been
made and who will be able to put a fair valua
ton on all property Because the pay is small
for the kind of men desired it will not be easy
to get three men exactly suited to the positions
The members of the board must work, and work
hard, for three months and it will be difficult to
find men qualified who will be willing to make
sacrifice to help the city.
The real problem of assessing is to equalize
the tax burden. 1t does not so much matter
what the amount paid in taxes so long as all tax
payers equal basis and paying just
and fair proportion. At present in St. Petersburg
taxes are not equally distributed. There are
some garing instances of unfairness. Some
property is assessed too high and some other is
assessed too low. For instance, there is large
lot on First avenue north, with a fine house on
it. which is assessed at less than is charged
against small residences in sections we'll removed
from the business district. This piece of prop
erty is assessed at about one-sixth of it's value
even less than that, according to the way prop
erty in the new business section on First avenue
has recently been selling
This is not right Taxes should be equaized
and the burden evenly distributed. That is what
the assessing board soon to be appointed
will try to accomplish. The other boards have
tried to do this but have not succeeded. They
have required owners of homes to pay too much
and this should be corrected. The tax rate here
is not high but few persons are paying an I'M
equal portion of the cost of city government

FOR THOSE IN SCHOOL AND OUT

FOR THOSE IN SCHOOL AND OUT
Another valuable service rendered Florida by
the Florida Development Board whose head Office
is in Jacksonville, is the compilation of data show
ing that while the orange and grapefruit crop
make up the bulk of the cash returns from citrus
fruits grown in this state the delicious peach and
the popular grape are making a good showing
and are responsible for converting idle lands into
profitable investments. Here are some things
worth knowing and some facts worth preserving
for use when asked what Florida produces. Fig
ures for the season of l920-2l showed that Flor
ida had then 2,2l9.I08 orange trees which pro-
duced s, 100000 boxes valued at $24, 300, 000
There were l,l25,270 grapefruit trees which pro-
duced S. 00,800 boxes valued at SIS, 300, O0O
Of lime trees there were l,433 from which
were gathered 10000 barrels valued at $780,
600. Floridas 40,570 fig trees produced AL, 59l
pounds of this delicious and healthful fruit which
brought in $4,000 to the fig tree owners 1t will
be surprising to know that there were 323,068
peach trees, these producing l48.006 bushels,
the return from which was $l50.000 The cost
showed As, 300 plum trees with crop of 2O,3lo
bushels worth $4,000 Of pear trees there were
8o,773 producing 1922 bushels valued at $780,
600. The growth of the new grape industry can
be judged from the showing of 87,6O7 grape
vines which brought out a crop of l,220,623
pounds, this crop selling for approximately $l25,-
OOO. The estimate Of pineapple plants, one of
Floridas long neglected fruit industries because
OF Cuban competition and high transportation
rates. placed the number of plants at 2,524,254,
which produced 26, E crates valued at $50, 900.
these pineapple figures will seem insignificant to
those who were familiar with the pineapple indus
try in Brevard and Dsde counties fifteen wears
ago. Additional interesting data includes l,156
nurseries. covering 2,756 acres, containing H.
oO3,Z3o citrus nursery trees, 1906 avocado
nursery trees and 3.840,2Ol other varieties. II

WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION SHOULD ACCOMPLISH
pensacola Journal.)

When the demonstrating bill passes, the
United States will have a department of educa-
ton, with secretary in the cabinet. One of the
first tasks such a department of education must
undertake is the review and classification of text
books. The necessity for national information on
books which teach national affairs is constantly
being brought before the public, the most recent
case being in the national capital, where a GER
tain textbook of history is under fire from citi-
zens' associations as being historically inaccur-
ate and sociastic in its tendencies.
Whether the book is good or bad is hardly a
matter for determination by citizens associations
no matter how patriotic. Only authority should
be permitted to say what is, and what is not, in
a good school book. The trouble with the aver
age school book selection authority is that it is
biased by location and environment, without a
national viewpoint.
A federal department of education would not
be biased, and would either have national view
point or be a complete failure. A list of ade-
quate school books which had been carefully re-
viewed and classified by the national government
would go far toward securing that uniformity in
education and accuracy in the teaching of history
which are in themselves national bond and
would be eagerly welcomed by local school
boards everywhere.
Obviously no such list of books would be is
sued as anything less than suggestions. When
the department of agriculture tells farmers of
good fertilizer it does not require them to use it
only their brains and free choice! So it would
be with the list of books and, indeed, all the
acts of the department of educaton-they would
be advisory only, and valuable in proportion to
their educational, not their mandatory pronounce
ments.

Trammell is brilliant statesman, and we do
not agree with him in all things. But we be-
heve he is safe and sane man and works hard
for what he believes to be the good of his state.
We think it is much better to keep him in Office
and let him give his constituents the benefit of
six years experience than to put new man
in his place. Mr.. Trammell has not set off any
skyrockets and seldom do the dispatches tell of
his makinA speech on the floor of the Senate
But he plugs steadily along and attends to bust
