McCumber lost the North Dakota pri-

should like to point out that Lynn
Frazier the man who beat him, act

THE NEGRO AND THE REPUBLl-
CAN PARTY

The ST. Petersburg Times says that
Mr.. D. T. Gerow. internal revenue col
lector and long leader and JOB hold
er in the ranks of the republican par
ty in this state, is quoted as saying
that "the negro is the best asset the
republican party has for they are nat
ural born republicans
There is little doubt but that the
republican party owes its existence
to the negro.
His supposed wrongs brought about
crusade against the south and this
crusade growing is strength and in
tensity finally eliminated in the birth
of the republican party, and until this
good year it has been nourished and
largely kept together on the imagin-
wrongs inflicted upon the negro
in the south and the negro naturally
looks to it as It's deliverer.
This crusade led and still leads to
sectional strife and there can never be
genuine unifcatlOn OF the sections
until the republican party is utterly
and hopelessly destroyed.
If those republicans throughout the
nation who disagree with Mr. Gerow
will abandon it and join the demo
cratic party or casting aside the
traditional sectionalism that clings to
it, will form new party they will
have done blessing to the nation
that will last forever.
We are proud to say that the demo-
cratic party had its birth when the
nation was supposed to be lone and
inseparable.
1t has never carried on a crusade
against any section but from its first
organization has been perfectly will
ling for every section-north, east,
west and south-to conduct its own
affairs without any outside interfer-
ence.

FEDERAL. AID FOR ROAD CON-
STRUCTION

Under the Federal Highway Act OF
1921 seven per cent OF the highways
OF Florida, designated by the State
Road Department. and subject to the
approval of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, will become a part of a national
system of highways. These highways
which may receive Federal aid shall
be divided into primary and second
airy highways; the primary or inter
state highways not to exceed three
sevenths OF the total mileage, and the
secondary or , intercounty highways.
which shall or corelate with the pri-
mary consisting of the remainder of
the mileage. Not more than sixty
per cent of all Federal aid allotted
to any state may be expended on a
primary highway. The state must
match the federal aid allotment and
make provision for the construction.
reconstruction, and maintenance of all
federal aid highways within the state.
The state must have a highway de.
partment in order to get federal aid
and il any state fails to maintain a
federal aid highway after construc-
ton or reconstruction, the secretary
OF agriculture shall serve notice upon
the State Highway Department, and if
within ninety days the highway is not
placed in proper condition, the secre-
tary of agriculture shall place the
highway in proper condition and
charge the cost against the federal
funds allotted to the state. and shall
refuse to approve any other project
for the state until the federal govern
ment is reimbursed for the cost of
the maintenance.
Under the highway act of 1921 actual
supervision Of federal aid roads is
placed upon the state road department.
and no state can receive aid unless it
has state highway department ade-
qaate in the opinion of the secretary
OF agriculture to perform the func-
tDns expected of it.
The highway act appropriates $75,-
O0e.00O for federal aid for road con-
struction in the various states, and
SIS, 100000 for the construction Of
roads and trails in and adjacent to
national forests. Florida's share of
the appropriation is sSsSS25. SO. This
sum must be matched by the state.

REDUCING TAXES

For the past twelve or sixteen years
every governor OF Florida has in bold
headlines made the claim of hav-
ing reduced taxes, yet all the while
taxes have steadily scared higher and
higher.
Along with his predecessors Cover
nor Cary A. Hardee authorizes the
same statement to be made.
in reply to which Mr.. W. W. Clyatt
of this city, one thoroughly posted
in tax matters, in communication to
the Star makes the following crush
ing reply:
"A news item is sent out from Tai
lahassee proclaiming that Governor
Hardee has kept his campaign pledge
to reduce taxes. 1t is not true. The
governor by his recommendation and
influence induced the 1921 legislature
to create an additional Office and mis-
named it tax equalizer" instead Of
clubbing it tax raiser" and the failure
to have its true purpose stated in the
title might invalidate the law. The
governors recent campaign manager
was appointed to draw the salary and
without any inspection of property in
Marion county he issues an order to
the tax assessor of Marion county,
not to equalize, but arbitrarily in
crease all real estate values in the
county ten per cent That is to say
that property now assessed at 10 per
cent OF its true value, shall be fncreas
ed to ii per cent of its true value.
and property now assessed at full val
ue be increased 10 per cent above its
actual value. After doing this the ad-
ministration reduces the state tax
rate less than one-seventh of one per
cent, below the 1921 rate, and it is
carried in double column headlines as
a boast of having reduced taxes. It
will take $4,000 in tax valuation to
amount to 81 in reduction of the state
taxes below the 1921 rate, whereas
this $4,000 arbitrarily increased to
SS,SVO. the tax payer will be called on
to pay $3.50 more state taxes than in
1921 on the same property. an increase
OF near 81 per thousand. A scheme
worked like this, instead of being a
reduction OF one-eighth of one mill,
IN dollars and cents of taxes paid. will
actually amount to an increase of
nearly ,seven-eighths OF one mill. and
this the taxpayer viii find out when
he pays his taxes. if he is able to pay
them. The worst thing about a tax
bnruened state. is that there is no riff
In the clouds. no ray Of hope for the
tutEe. thought that when our tax
rate went from SIT to s50.75 per
thossand in twenty years. that the
limft had been reached, but not 80. I
understand the board of county COM
misssouers contemplates increasing
the. county levy about ten per cent
above the present high-water mark
IN taxation. and that the city rate win
probably be Increased 20 or IS per-
cent y seems that no effort Is made
BY those IN authority to economics or
reduce the burden OF taxation: on the
contrary, Il is constant cry for more
and then more taxes. When a limit
has been fixed by the constitution then
the constitution has been amended.
ana the people are called upon now
the second or third time to amend the
constitution In order that taxation
may be increased

O'Connor points out in letter to the
