John Kepley stressed the value
of retirement phases of the plan
and declared the biggest value, IN
his estimation, lies in the ceiling
placed on taxation. This, he said,
will protect the landowner from
confscatory taxation and guaran-
tee immediate progress toward

Eugene Anderson, Brawley Ro-

farm credit more lenient in the
future.

INQUIRERS AT COUNTY
OFFICE INFORMED OF
NON OWNERSHIP OF
PROPERTY

Discussing some, of the prob
lens presented by the Murphy
Act. Clerk Ross c.. Sawyer. of
Circuit Court says there seems
TO be some misunderstanding of
Section 9 as TO the ownership of
lands which had certificates out
standing on June 8. 1899. which
were eligible TO be sold under
the Act.
On instructions from Comp
troller Lee, through Attorney
General Gibbs, the Supreme
Court has said that title to all
lands on which the State held
certificates up to and including
sales in 1884. is vested in the
State of Florida.
In our own every day language
the meaning is that if the State
held a certificate, or certificates,
on June 9, 1899, which was is
sued in the 1884, or prior years,
then the owner lost title to the
land. The court goes further and
says that all liens are cancelled,
which means all mortgages, city
taxes, etc.
In other words when the In
ternal Improvement Board gives
a deed the property will be clear
and free from all membranes.
Mr.. Sawyer says that quite fire.
quently owners of delinquent
properties come to the clerks
office to find out the amount of
delinquent taxes on this or that
parcel of land, saying that they
have a sale and would like to
know the amount of the back
taxes. and when advised that
they do not now own the prop
erty, they are very much sur
prised and disappointed

TRAFFIC DEATHS
|. MOUNT HIGHER
DECEMBER WORST MONTH
ACCORDING TO STATE
SAFETY DIRECTOR

TAMPA, Dec. Is (FNS).-"Yes,
here in Florida the traffic daily
slaughter goes on, on all fronts
F38 persons killed in traffic acct
dents in Florida in the first ten
days of December-an aIl-time
high, stated Asher Frank, di-
rector of the Florida Safety
Council.
December is the worst traffic
month of the year. No one is
thinking about accidents, all are
thinking of bringing joy and hap
piness to someone, but Old Man
Accident never takes a holiday:
/, If there ever was a time for safe
driving and safe walking, it is
during the month of December
when every type of vehicle is
on the highway.
'"The State Drivers License
Law and the new Highway Pa
troll, which is now functioning,
cannot stop accidents unless
drivers and pedestrians cooperate,
drive and walk carefully. If the
record of 81 killed in 1888 is to
be reduced, you drivers and
walkers must do your part.
In conclusion, Frank stated
that Death. the ruthless Mas
querader. filled many a heart
with grief instead of good cheer
last Christmas.
Lets make this happy
White Christmas-not black with
tragedy-not red with blood!"

polling Russia. In assembly the
vote need only be a majority,
but in the council of all nations,
where the question will have to
end up, a unanimous expression
is necessary according to League
rules. Observers point to the
possibility that China. may feel
obliged to vote against the ex-
pulsion order in view of her pre-
carious position in the east.
In any event, foreign diplomats
in this capital feel that Russia
will shortly resign from the
League of Nations, whether ex-
pulsion moves proceed toward
fulfillment or not. Argentina, as
before, today again stated that
! she would quit the League if
Russia was not expelled.
100000 Russians
The Soviets today were con-
centrating more and more on a
quicker settlement of their con-
quest of Finland and was re-
I ported to be sending 100000
men into the battles on the
Karilian isthmus and in the CEN
trail sector where the effort is
being made to cut Finland in
two.
Late advices still indicate
however, that the Finnish troops
are performing in heroic style
in many cases hurting vastly
superior numbers back by sheer
dint of force in hand to hand
fighting.
British sources heard that
Sweden was reorganizing her
government today in prepare
ton for material and moral help
to Finland. Considerable un-
easiness is felt in the Swedish
nation anent the Russian adj
vance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 49,
Yankee statesmen see really solid
ground under the widely dis
cussed plan for a European Fed
Grafton based on economic fac
tors rather than on a purely po-
litical basis.
They would like to believe it
would work. 1t has at least the
advantage of different ap-
proach, one based on assuring
adequate bread and butter rather
than on so-called national in
SEPARATIONS.
Two things keep Americans
from whooping up "a too-eager
enthusiasm for the idea.
First is a,deep-sets belief that
European peoples are determined
to have their quarrels regardless
of the general welfare.
Second is the fact that it is be-
ing advanced primarily by Eng
land. and therefore, in the eyes of
many, should be scrutinized
closely. 1t is popular and politi-
cally important just now to look
first for propaganda and only
later for facts in any proposal
from s'Perfidious Albion.

for paragraph or so as if he had
