WHEREABOUTS
OF MISSING
MAN UNKNOWN
NO INFORMATION WHATEVER
is OBTAINED IN MYsTERI-
Gus DISAPPEARANCE OF
ERNEST RIED

Not the least clue has been dis
covered to disclose the whereabouts
of Ernest Ried who mysteriously
disappeared after having been
seen the last time at the Lewis
Motors Company establishment
on Caroline street last Friday
forenoon at IL O'Clock.
The young man was in perfect
health so far as is known and had
never appeared to be respondent
in any way. His two brothers and
many friends in this city are be-
coming more alarmed over his
and mysterious absence,
and every effort is being made to
find out where he is or ascertain
his fate.
Diligent inquiry has been made
at the steamship ticket offices and
at the Flagler system passenger
station, but no one remembers his
having taken passage from this
port or departed by rail. He is
well known in Key West and is
popular with many friends. so it
is believed that had he concluded
to leave the city the fact would
have been well known. That he
has fallen victim of foul play
cannot be believed by his friends
here, and just what could possibly
have happened to him they can't
imagine. He Just seems to have
vanished completely, and the
mystery that surrounds the young
mans disappearance is causing
much anxiety on the part of his
friends and people in general of
this city.

Boston Transcript Comments
On Recent Tax Cut In State
ACTION TAKEN SAID TO
BE REPUTATION OF
CHARGE AGAINST
LOW FINANCES

JACKSONVILLE, July 2s.--
Under the title Another Debtless
State" the Boston Transcript, dis
eussing the recent cut in state
taxes authorized by Governor
Martin declares that the Florida
press would seem warranted in
citing it as a refutation of the
charge that this state is unsound
and that its finances are in bad
condition as result Of last years
initiation.
President Coolidge has one
rival in tax reduction accomplish
msnts, q man after his own heart,
we might say, in the governor of
Florida" says the Transcript.
Governor Martin is just an
nouncing the second tax cut of
his administration, amounting to
almost 80 per cent. When Gov
ernor Martin took hold, the state
tax rate was 10 3D. mills, or at
the rate of $1O.75 on thousand,
as we would express it here. In
the first year of the administra-
tIon this was cut one-quarter of a
mill, and now the rate goes down
to 7h mills, the lowest in ten
years. In addition, the state has
some s17,0OO,O0O in its treasury
and is out of debt. Nor is this
the end; for Governor Martin in
forms his people in language which
seems pleasantly suggestive. of
Washington. that "by an econ
omical adjustment of the states
affairs a further reduction would
be possible In 1927" TMe Florida
press would seem warranted in cit
ing this showing as refutation
Of the charge that Florida is 'un-
sound and that her finances are
In bad condition as a result Of the
initiation Of last year.
The figures are the more note
wosthy because Florida is pressing
with vigor her campaign for the
repeal of the federal estate tax
law. of which action the Ameri-
can Taxpayers League, in a re-
cent bulletin. points out that 'if
Florida must surrender to con-
gress the right to levy taxes for
state purposes. then every state
must surrender it. and the COM
rnonwealths become provinces and
the legislatures vassals of the
Washington government" Florida
rot only demands repeal of the
law but denounces IL as unconsti-
tutional; a matter of very high
Importance IL the Supreme Court
of the United States should sus-
tain her contention.

headed south, he said. ''The fact
that many people say the boom is
over in Florida has not made any
difference in the number of per-
sons going down and many who
returned to the northern states
earlier in the spring went merely
to sell their businesses, and they
are enroute back to the land of
flowers.
There is better class of peo-
pie on tour than ever before in the
belief of many people. They are
substantial business people and
they know values. They all think
that Florida has reached sub.
stantial growth and that values
will remain stable"
