Wants .Interest .Reduced; Abolish- ment of Olice of County Treasur- er and Other Measures Passcd. Tallahassce, Fla., March 5.-—Gov- ernor Park Trammell has decided upon the policy of publishing from time to time belore the Legislature convenes, fur the information both of the legislators and of the people, an outline of some of the poiicies which he wiil recommend in his for- mal message to the Legisiature that will assemble in Tallahassee April 8. The goveruor's object in doing this is to invite discussion upon his rec- ommendations, which he belicves to be the best way of stimulating a helptul public sentiment with regard to the merits or defects of his pro- osals; also, to acquaint the legis- lators with these recommendations, ag they have but little time after the session convenes to consider the gov- Crnor's message ! Among the recommendations which Governor Trammell will make are the following: *1 respectfully recommend that a law be enacted changing the legal rate of interest frowm 8 to 6 per cent, and that the rate which is allowed to be charged by contract be changed from 10 to 8§ per ment, It has now been twenty-two years since the present law fixing the legal rate of interest in this State was cnacted, this time conditions bave wondertully chanzed. Our sState has quidrupled in population and devel= oped bly in 1t sceope and . her indus cid re- I'he rate interest sug- me is equally as reason- able in our State at the present time as the rate now allowed was when fixed in 1891, As evidence of the fuct that the rate suggested by me is reasonable, a large majority of the banks and individuals lcaning money on contract now require not exceed- ing 8 per cent. In fact, much cap- ital is now loaned in Florida at slightly lower interest charges, and business mon generally consider a return of 6 to 8 per cent upon money loaned a good investment, It is not believed that the amendment of the law lere suggested would in the wlightest degree retard the invest- ment of capital or the extension of loans. It would merely be adjusting the statutes of the State to the changed conditions of the times. Most of the Southern States now have a lower legal rate of interest than is fixed by Florida, and it has come to be generally recognized that both in business practice and as a governmental policy, lower interest rates should prevail—large enough to give reasonable returns to the lenders, but on the other hand, low enough not to work a hardship on those who have to borrow, and also to encourage those who would bor- row capital and invest it in indus- trial development.” Abolishing Office of County Treagurer. | A constitutional amendment to abolish the office of county treasurer at the expiration of the terms of the present incumbents, should be sub- mitted for ratification or rejection by the electors at the next general election. In my opinion, the amend- ment should provide that the county tax assessor shall perform the duties now incumbent upon the county treasurer. It is a well-known fact that the duties connected with the office of county treasurer require but little time and work trom the person filling the office, and that the com- Pensation paid therefor is entirely out of proportion to the responsibili- ties assumed or the work actually done. These duties could be dis- charged by the tax assessor without interfering with his duties as asges- The could be made without fyjustice to the assessors \ and withont impairing the efficiency lui the public service; yet with a very onsideralle economy in the admin- ietration of zovernment. This being true, why should the taxpayers of all the counties be required to com- tinue paying salaries aggregating at (Continued on page §) s St _ " TRYWR \ retad ha 1" e o alj tries BOULCes, ol gested by Ser. chiange
