State division, as well as county division as well as county divigion, seems to be a popular idea these days. A bill to divide California into twn States is before the General Assem- bly out there, and it is proposed to make four States out of Texas. Those West Floridians are still agitating ! the idea of setting up housekeeping | for themselves, and as far as we down this way are concerned, “they may g0, and our blessing will go! with them. The peninsula of Flor-' ida would make a right little, tight little State, whose unique position and peculiar attractions would com-' mand the attention of the world, Of ccurse, one of the chief of these at- tractions would be the possession oi Lakeland as the State’s capital. ALL SHOULD BEAR TAX BURDENS IN JUST PROPORTION There has been much talk in this oounty about the inequalities that' have existed in tax assessments, and it has been repeatedly charged that some of the large corporations have “4ad their property assessed at a ridi- culously low figure. The Plant City Courier, whose editor is in close touch with matters in Polk county,' Laving been reared in its capital city makes the following comment on the' conditions referred to: “That is a nice little bomb nboul| tu. be exploded over in our sister! ccunty of Polk. For many years phosphate companies in that county have been favored with a very low tax rate. One company whose hold- ings are said to have sold for eight millions a few years ago is assessed on the Polk county tax books $240,000 or less than onme.thirty- second of the price paid for it Many others of the dozen or so big plants over there are said to be as sessed at about the same proportion. The powers that are will make 2 fight, it is said, to put a just assess- mént on these companies and if this s done there will be enough tax revenue raised in' Polk to immeasur- ably benefit the roads and schools of that county.” NOT LIKELY EVER TO HAVE A BETTER LEGISLATURE. The Orlando Sentinel reaches the haights of optimism in the follow- ing predictions 28 to what the peo- ple will do at tbe next election in- cidental to an expression of disap- pointment over the work of the pres- ent Legislature: “And when it comes to members' of the Legislature, only men of known integrity and ability will get any hearing. “The man who is so tender heart- ed that he cannot think of disturb- fug the primitive conditions of four hundred years ago, and the oily tongued, slippery fingered politician will be given a hunch early in the campaign. ' “The people will fight for honest end honorable business men to repre- sent them." This all listens good, but the as- sumption of the Sentinel is far from being warranted by past experience. A good percentage of the people wiil continue to cast their votes for rep- resentative for the man who has ab solutely no qualifications, but wh “isa a good fellow”, “was learned i1 this county,” or some other equally cogent reason for elevating him to a intelli- genee and broad-minded ability are The present body of law- makers is up to the average—that is, it has a fair percentage of able men who managed to run the gauntlet of pcpular favor, with a very pervas-, position where education, essential. t b - MILLIONAIRE SETS e eV ———nnn *—.
