RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH of manslaughter when all the facts are brought out. GOV. TRAMMELL WILL MAKE T0 THE FLORIDA LECISLATURE FAVORS APPROPRIATION FOR THE ERADICATION OF AGRI- CULTURAL PESTS AND BE. LIEVES IN PROTESTION FOR CATTLE INDUSTRY Fla., ‘Tallahassee, March 2.— Following up his announced inten- tion to make public from time to time & number of the recomenda. tions which he proposes to submit to the legisiature, which convenes in April, Governor Park Trammell states that he will make recommen- dations upon the following subjects: County Canning and Corn Club The work being carried on through the medium of the canning clubs and corn clubs is proving very valuable to our State. This com- mhendable work should be encouraged évery way possible. At present the boards of county commissioners have no authority to employ agents to carry on this work. They should be so authorized and I recommend a law so providing. State Aid to Stamp out Pests n my message to the last legisla- ture I recommended that an annual appropriation to be used in stamping out and preventing the spread of any disease or insect which threat- ens any of our agricultural and hor. ticultural interests, should be made. No action wag taken upon my Sug- gestion and as a result when the cit rus canker appeared on the lower east coast during last year, there were no State funds available for use in the campaign to eradicate this disease. Though my contin. gent fund was small. I felt that I was justified in doing so and used 0 for assisting in the work to tamp out the disease and also as- isted in every way I could the vol. untary efforts to handle the citrus canker situation. Through the ac- | tivity and financial aid of many of | the citrus growers and other citi- zens, a persistent fight has been waged to rid our citrus industry and our State of this disease and only recently the federal government ap- propriated and began the expendi- ture of $35,000 for the eradication L 8! of the citrug canker in limited ters ritory now affected. This appro- priation terminates in June of this year, and we will then have no fur- ther assistance from the federal gov- ernment. The campaign to eradi~ cate this disease should mot be al lowed to stop with the expenditure of the funds furnished by the federal government and now being used. Ample provision should be made »r your body to continue the campaign to a succesdful conclusion and to this end 1 recommend that an ap- propriation be made with which to carry on the work of exterminating this disease or any other disesse or insect which may threaten our hor- ticultural or agricultural interest. Protection of Cattle Industry One of the large industries of this State is cattle raising and we have the possibilities for making Florida the greatest cattle and stock raising State east of the Mississippl river. A menace to the cattle industry is the cow tick. To eradicate this pest some effort has been made by the federal government and also by our State through the State Board of Health. It is my opinion, how= ever, that more extended efforts should be made, and to this end I recommend that an appropriation of fitteen thousand dollars be annually appropriated from the State Board of Health fund, to carry on a cam= paign for cow tick extermination. Give State Right of Appeal Under our present law the State is deprived of the right of appeal in a criminal case upon the constitu< tionality of the law. Should a jus~ tice of the peace, a county judge or the circuit judge in a criminal case declare the statute under which the case is being tried to be unconsti- tutional, there Is no means provided for the State to have the ruling of the trial court passed upon by a higher court—an appellate court . That we may have the constitution- ality of criminal statutes. passed upon by an appellate court when they are declared unconstitutional, | by the lower courts, T suggest that a measure should be passed allow= Ilng the State the right of appeal in such cases.
