Florida Plans Tax-Free HaUen
For the Country's Millionaires
Legislature Passes Constitutional Amendment Prohibiting State
Income and Inheritance Leves as Lure to Wealthy Folks

ii you wish to attract millionaires
don't tax them.
This seems to be the policy of Flor
ida. which is planning to supplement
the sunny beaches and bathing girls
with a tax-exemption scheme design
ed to attract to the Everglades every
man in the country whose income
runs into FIVE figures or whose fortune
runs to six.
While every other state in the union
is busy trying to discover new ways
of taxing its residents and levying in
heritance taxes on residents, estates
and non-residents where it can, Flor
ida is taking exactly the opposite
course 1t is proposing to put into its
constitution a provision prohibiting
forever the enactment of any income
tax or inheritance tax legislation at
fecting its residents.
Already Through Legislature.
This proposed constitutional amend
ment to abolish two forms OF taxation
that have been adopted in most of the

Submitted to the people Of the state
at the general election in November,

u. S. senators, the indications are that
the people will approve it.
The senator frankly admitted that
his state is making a deliberate and
very shrewd bid for the wealthy men
of the country to become residents Of
Florida. For not alone will it provide
them with a charming place of resi-
dence but it will enable them to spend

AIRMAN HUNTED FOR
BOMBING ATLANTA
TREE SET AFIRE, FIRE HOUSE
AWNING BURNED BY BAD
MISSILES, POLICE SAY.

ATLANTA. Ga.-The bombing OF
Atlanta by solitary birdman, who,
winging his way around the corners
OF buildings and swooping across
housetops. has bombarded the streets
with the literature OF his wares, who
has made strong men tremble and
brave hearts skip. has become a seri-
Gus and altogether disconcertng prob
lem to the fire and police departments
of the city.
Two fires which for time threat
ened to become serious conhagratlons,
are declared by fire officials to have
resulted from the bombs which did
not explode in the air as intended, but
waited to fall in the streets.
A dozen or more protests against
the noise and alleged dangers OF the
bombs have been made to the police.
Chief Cody, OF the fire department,
has asked Acting Chief OF Police L.
l.. lett, to do something about It,
Tree Set Ahre.
He said that a tree at Capitol ave
nue. and Fulton street had been set
on fire by the bombs and that there
was serious danger OF the flames
spreading when fremen reached the
scene and put them out.
The awning on engine house OF No.
/ company, too, was destroyed by fire
started in this manner, the chief said.
Something, he said, should be done.
Captain NJ Y. Barnett, OF the Ac-
cident Prevention Bureau, and Cap
tain Connally, of the day watch, prom
ised that something, they were not
sure just what, would be done.
Captain Barnett was sure the trail
fc department was the one to handle
the situation, but how he could not
say.
Too High Up.
The trouble lies in reaching the
airman," Captain Barnett said.
q may ask Mayor Sims to charter
a special plane and patrol the skies,
but | don't know whether that would
work Anyhow, the department is
looking for the flyer who has frighten-
ed the city and done damage that
might have been serious and which
might result in serious damage the
next time it happens
In the meanwhile the popping OF
the bombs" has continued, to the i'm
minent danger Of making the city a
prematurely gray-haired populated
town.

Do members in Congress re-
present their constituents as a
whole or the paid lobbyists"
This is the question now con-
fronting the American people. |
The history of national legisla-
tion of the last few years with |
the climax just reached by Con- !
gress saddling the Soldiers Bon
us on the taxpayers, overriding |
the veto of President Coolidge, !
is an example of the way things
are being done in these times. |
What is to be the end of it ali ? |
Frank r. Kent, a Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, presents the bonus matter
from such an interesting light.
With other correspondents he
agrees that the merits of the
case did not influence those who
had advocated the bonus, He
estimates that nine-tenths of
the favorable ballots ignored the
merits and the principle invol-
we'd and would have voted for
the bonus if the sum demanded
had been twice or three times as
large. They were terrorized
through fear that the veterans
and their friends would be
against them at the next cleo
ton.
If this view is correct and if
the merit or principle involved
counted for little OF nothing, any
group of men in the future may
raid the treasury for any con-
ceivable purpose if they can con-
vince Congressman that failure
to submit to the raid would
mean their defeat at an election.
The desire for Office is so
great presumably with a vast
number of Congressmen and
Senators that they would de-
scend to unheard of depths of
political degradation if by so do
ing they could hold their seats
in Congress.
This is one of the many de-
plorable outcomes of the Bonus
conflict. President Coolidge saw
it. He warned the country, but
Congress needed not. To the
credit of Delaware's representa-
tives in Congress-Senators Bal
and Bayard and Congressman
Boyce-they took a patriotic
stand and voted to sustain the
President.

The Right Word

By w. CURTIS NICHOLSON

Albertine fabric, New York City: My employer, an attorney for many of the most prominent hotels in New York City, uses the article 'an' before the word hotel. According to- the teachings of all ,grammars, this is wrong. He insists that it is more euphonious to say, It is an hotel which is patronized by many socially prominent people, than to say, It is a hotel which is patronized by many socially prominent people, Will you please tell me which is correct, as it is very con- fusing. to me? My friends insist that he. is wrong.s'
 You and your friends have modern usage on your side "A" is correct, t

 ''The sentence quoted above appeared on the paper in Second Class Physics set by the department of education for this year.
 II should be pleased to know if The Right Word agrees with the use of whose in this sentence"
 The question is whether whose is correct, or "of which," If ''of which" had been used the sentence would have read in part as fol- lows: "the ends of which are not accessible" |" The use of whose when referring to neuter nouns is extensive. It is approved by some grammarians and condemned by others 'The Right Word" does not object to such usage because the usage is universal.

A REPUBLICAN ATRoCITY

The manner in which the weather bu-
 reau has manipulated the weather for po- -litical purposes, with the evident inten-
 tion of making it too hot for the Demo- .crats is another strong, reason why the @people should vote the Republicans out
 of office. This misuse of official posi-
 ton for political purposes is fundamen-
 tally wrong. The temperature in Bir-
 mingham has been 103 twice or three
 times in the past two weeks. The people cannot fail to recall that the previous high level occurred in 1901, also under aa Republican administration. The present
 excess to which the weather bureau has
 allowed the temperature to soar can be
 explained in one of only two ways: Either it has proceeded from official in-
 competence in the weather bureau, or
 else it has been deliberate prostitution
 of official authority to political or self ish ends. In either case, the Republicans have forfeited their right to further oc- cupancy of this office. Not only have high taxes taken the farmers money out of one pocket and the high tariff robbed the other, but now the hot weather, ex- .pressly designed by Republican subserv- fence to privilege, burns up the farmers crop and puts him again under the thumb } of the moneyed interests. The only way to bring the weather back to normal IS g4o vote the Democratic ticket.

AN uNUSuAL CASE

In his closing remarks at the Leopold
 Loeb trial in Chicago Judge Caverly took
 occasion to deprecate the widespread in fterest that has been taken in this case by the people of the United~States, and sought in manner to rebuke the press for commenting upon the case and the sconduct of the trial. The judge will get
 fao great sympathy from the American speople in his censure of the exercise of free speech and free opinion. The trial was unusual and the case was unusual
 The attitude of the judge in giving both lBides free opportunity to present their ,arguments is commended. His effort to
 Suppress public interest and public com .Inent is condemned.
 It is apparent also that the judges .fancor at MT. Crowe's exposition of the defendants claim of clemency if tried sbefore a friendly judge causes the sus- spicion that the attorney may have hit seiose home. The judges order striking sthe attorneys remarks from the record swas futile gesture, for the remarks ihave been published throughout the coun- .try to degree they might not have been stad the judge not given them the em-
 phasis he did. Only the verdict and the ssentence can determine whether t'e at storney was right or wrong in hi lrgu- sment on this point. Certainly was sjustified in his statement that the de- sineanor of the defendants and others in sthe courtroom was not at variance with sthe allegiation.

- HOPE FOR LEEDS ROAD

MT. R. E. Smith, member of the state legislature, informs the citizens of Leeds that the State Highway Commission has promised to repair the road between that city and Birmingham, and to keep it in condition until beginning the paving pro- gram of 1925, when this road is to be paved. It is hoped that this promise will be redeemed, for the business of both cities is being injured by the present com dition of the highway. It will be found by the commission that the contemplated repairs will cost more than it would have cost to maintain the road and prevent its reaching such desperate strait. This brings up anew the failure of the high way commission adequately to provide for highway maintenance as it is in structed to do by the statutes under which it operates. Under an efficient sys- tenn, such as is in force in many states, no important highway wopld ever fall into such disrepair as to impede the very traffic and intercourse of two great in- dustrial communities.

Art Of Government
THE Iart Of arts is the art of gover
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

THE 1art Of arts is the art of govern
 ment,9 runs an old saying.
 For several thousand years this art has been followed. Progress in it has been small.
 The king of England knows not much more about it than the king of Nineveh knew.
 The superiority of the king of England consists, not in his better knowledge of g0y- erning but in the fact that he does not govern people at all. but lets them govern them selves. 4. #
 The truth that is emerging, after centuries of experiment, is that there is no such thing as ''the art of governing" "a k,
 Not the wisest man in the world, not tlie best strongest and noblest man, is competent to govern the people. The responsibility of rule can justly rest only upon the shoulders of the people themselves, No man was ever created who is fit to be trusted with that burden. EN
 The governing class idea is also fiction. Thinkers of yesterday were fond of saying that the best element ought, to govern the populaee., Thinkers of today have discoS- cred that this will not work. No class, just as no individual is worthy to be entrusted with rule.
 
 and that is the entire body polite.
 To be sure, every quack and pettifogger prates of his love for ''the pepul" Every criminal trust and every venal politician boasts of it's subserviency to the dear people. But don't let that deceive you They wouldn't all lay claim to a thing that is not good in it. self.
 The fact is that the people, the whole people, are wiser than any one man 'or class, have more common eepse, more courage, more prudence and better morals.
 We are learning that great men" are not the roots of popular progress, but the flower. Shakespeare was the crest of the wave. Ll- ther was one who would have been unknown without the many inspired by the same ideas.
 "No single maPI" is the much-quoted say ing of Schiller, "can vie with the individual Athenian for the cprizS of manhood" To be sure yet though we produce no finer inh- viduals we have better society, the haa- mony of whose existence "does not depend upon the employment of slaves, upon eunuclls, and the seclusion of women.
 "The world" said Dr. Martin Luther, lis ruled by God through few heroes aud pre- eminent persons" Which is a clear state ment of what is not true.
 For the world is ruled by itself. The4prog- ress of government is toward eliminating the leader, toward eTap hasi6ins the masses. I
 We are natural phesO-worshippers beeause we naturally personify forces, in order to un- derstand them, by making them simpler.
 But who ever would grasp the meaning of the twentieth century should study not kings and noted men, but the commons.
 The people, their level is rising everywhere. to submerge all peaks.

The Worlds WindotU
Welrd and TncomprehensibIe
By PIERRE VAN PAssEN

"A LUTHERAN missionary writing rom A Celebes, in the Dutch Indies, tells of a rain of stones which fell on his bungalow, though he was positive that no human beings were about who could be guilty of such mischief It's not the first time such a phenomenon has been observed and India is not the only place where it has taken place. The great Italian psychiatrist, Profes- sor Lombroso, though skeptical and even ip- credulous, was convinced in one case that "ineomprehensibler forces were responsible for the throwing of stones at villa outside Turin. ,
 In fhe "Annales des Sciences Psyehiqles'' an incident is reported from Charleroi, ,cwhere the whole local police force and the clergy as we'll were called in, but could not prevent the throwing of missiles. The curious fact was that the first stone hit window pane ex- actly in the middle and the following ones struck it systematically in a spiral round the first hole The book of Professor Perty, of Bern University, deals with similar phenom- ena in connection with a haunted house in Switzerland There the inhabitants also felt icy hands on their faces and articulate sounds as from human voices were heard. The incl dents were investigated lby thes most trust worthy scientists of France and found to be correct. There is no explanation flor them. Science has not as yet explored these mys- teries But as Flammarion said ''The un- known of today is the truth of tomorrow"
