This charter.is al-' 1est sure to be granted and then au clection will be called to cho se three commissioners to govern St. Petersburg. It seems probably that the people of the mext gencration will lcok back to city councils as the crude beginnings of municipal government in this country. The commission idea appears to be win ning out generally, Tampa being a whole population is the State which has the most solidify and stability f1. the character of its people. 1o kave “a stake in the soil,”” to be the owner of your own reoftree, gives you a keen, vital interest in all which concerns the land you live in, which makes you a better citizen frem cevery point of view and adds | to your character, influcnce and dig-! nity. That recommendation in Gov- ernor Trammell's message to submit a constitutional amendment provid- iug for exempting from taxation five hundred dollars of the assessed value of the homestead when actually used and occupied by the owner will be a great encouragement to the acquir- "ing of homes, especially among peo- plo of limited resources who would yield to migratory influences with-; out this inducement to become fix- tures, and we hope the Legislature will submit such an amendment.
