pie stood before the floral display at the
northwest corner of Cola Park last Sunday,
and &c cameras were trained on the solid
beds of delphiniums and snapdragons in a
variety of col0rS, with the great bank of
sweetpeas in the background.
The sweetpea trellis is 100 feet long
and II feet high. Twenty-three varieties
of sweetpeas. some towering to the top of
the trells present n picture that thrills the
lover of flowers. People familiar with
California and Oregon where flower cul-
ture is a specialized industry. say that no
where have they seen sweetpeas to equal
these in height. in profusion and in beauty
of bloom.
Around the fountain. too. is an ar
rangement of flowers artistieally planned
so that perfect color scheme is presented
by each large bed. These with the nearby
rose gardens attract many visitors. People
from all parts of Central Florida come TO

NOT ALL IN LINE
(Whirligig in Miami Daily News)

(Whirligig in Miami Daily News)
More than so out of 67 Florida news
papers that have been awarded county
vertising matter have told the governor
they do not wish to be party to the waste
full expenditure of more than $780, 900 of
tax money.
The Futch bill, in seeking to restore
delinquent properties to the tax rolls, in
advertently requires county collectors to
readvertise and sell again tax-delinquent
lands which previously had been adver-
tised and sold to the state. Since valid tax
certificates already exist against such
properties and the state has liens that will
not be improved by further advertising,
these unselfish members of the state press
have asked the governor and cabinet to in
struct county collectors to withhold the
Futch portion of the lists until the legis-
iature can correct the half-milliOn dollar
extravaganza. On the basis of recent tax
collections it would require a three-mill
levy of state tax to pay this advertising bill
which most newspapers have waived as un-
necessary and useless.
Such levy would take $4,000 out
of Dade and $66, Asa out of Broward coun-
ty as their share of the total state ex-
pense.
The Miami Post, awarded contract for
the Dade county list has declined to join
the majority and will insist upon publica-
ton of the complete list, Whirligig is in

ready has contracted expenditures in prep
aration for publication and because it has
been advised non-publication of the entire
list might invalidate the sale. The Futch
bill does not affect municipal tax lists, only
the routine current delinquencies being
listed by city collectors,

ONE ON SENATOR NORRIS

In an editorial which won for him the
coveted Pulitzer prize for 1880, Charles S.
Ryckman of the Fremont (Neb.) Tribune
told by the people of Nebraska continued
to send Senator George W. Norris to Wash
ington, although he had no political or
other influence in his home state.
According to Ryckman, they do it be-
cause Norris gives the state lot of pub
licity, and they like to see him romp on
eastern interests, against which they have
a crouch. But, he continues:
"The people of Nebraska would not
let him (Norris) tell them how to elect a
dog catcher in the smallest village in the
state Nebraska gets the same amusement
out of his antics that small boy gets out
of sticking dog on an alley cat
That Ryckmans estimate of the sup
posedly great Senator's lack of influence
with his own people is correct was striking
ly illustrated last month, when his home
town, McCook, Neb., voted on the question
of establishing municipal electric plant.
Norris for many years has been the most
prominent champion of public ownership
of utilities.
Yet, when McC0ok balloted on the
question, the vote stood 1893 against a
municipal light plant, and only 698 in
favor of it.
