GREELY’S RESCUE One of the most difficult and thrilling rescues in the history of polar exploration is recalled by its 50th anniversary on June 22, it being on that date in 1884 that Com- mander W. S. Schley of the Navy found the remnant of the Greely expedition at Cape Sabine, only seven of the original party of 25 remaining alive. Among the survivors was Lieutenant A. W. Greely of the Airmy, in command of the party, which had been sent te estab- lish a station for scientific observations in the far North. After reaching the most northerly point touched by man up to that time, 83 degrees, 24 minutes north latitude, two expeditions sent to bring the ex- plorers hack to civilization failed to reach them. The third, under Schley, found the seven men more dead than alive, the other 18 having perished from exposure and starvation. - Schley and Greely were both destined to subsequently attain high rank in mili- tary service. Schley commanded the American fleet at the battle of Santiago during the temporary absence of Admiral Sampson, and-later became a rear-admiral. Greely became chief signal officer of the ‘Army dnd reached the ‘rank of major- general. Admiral Schley died in 1911, having lived 10 years after his retirement for age. General Greely is still living at the age of 90, despite three wounds received during the Civil War and the terrible hard- /ships he experienced in the Arctic. He perhaps little thought 'of reaching such a great age’as he helplessly awaited death or rescue in the frozen North a half cen- tury ago. DANGERS IN THE AMENDMENT _ (Tampa Tribune) Perry G. Wall, who has long been a student of tax problems in this state, has been looking closely into the proposed home exemption amendment and . has - is- sued a statement to the press warning the people that it threatens the worst cendition that Florida has ever endured so’ fat asthe tax structure is: concerned, “Beeause of its appeal to many thoughtless people,” Mr. Wall says, the amendment probably will he adopted and, if it is, he declares “it will practically destroy any semblance we may have of a tax system.” Mr. Wall sheds some light on the ef- fects of the arfiendment. More than 170,- 000 homes will be exempted from taxation under its provisions, because the limit of $5000 will exempt homes worth many times that. amount under the present methods of assessment. At an average of $1000 each, this would reduee the state and county tax rolls fully $170,000,000. The total assessment in the state is about $500,000,000, so it can readily be seen what will be the preportionate amount of reduction. i Another danger which Mr. Wall fore- ‘sees is that “rental properties now used for residences can and will be deeded to the {0 } renters And be exempted A i that will be devised solely for the purpose of escaping taxation.” That is a point which has been overlooked by those favor- ing the amendment. Another important point brought out by Mr. Wall is: If these properties are exempt from taxation for the expenses of governmental operation, they are still left liable for bond debts and interest on honds. The result of this will be to increase the security of the bond- holders to such an extent as to make the bonds worthy many times what they are now selling for. The effect; simply stated, is: Residential proper- ties used as homesteads are relieved of the first mortgage (governmental expense) and the second mortgage (bond debts and interest) necessarily becomes more valuable. Is this a scheme of the bondholders to increase the value of their securities? Of course, taxes on all properties, such as business properties and real estate of every kind, will be enor- mously increased, The people of Florida need to de some serious thinking on this subject. This in- nocent-looking amendment, apparently harmless and beneficial, is packed with economic dynamite. .|mumber of young men everywhere!
