Lakeland Evening Telegram Newspaper, May 5, 1915, Page 4

Tre Evening Telegram Published every afternoon from The Telegram Building, Lakeland, Fla. Entered in the postoffice at Lake- land, Florida, as mail matter of the second class. —— M. F. HETHERINGTON, EDITOR m One year .. $5.00 8ix months .. 2.50 Three months .. . ++ 1.25 Delivered an)where within the limits of the City of Lakeland for 10 cents a week. _—mm From the same office is issued THE LAKELAND NEWS, A weekly newspaper giving a resume of local matters, crop conditions, county affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.50 per year. ——— Lakeland water is the best bev- erage in the world, and the Davis bill never touched it. Come on to Lakeland, the water's fine! boys Trammell today sigzned the Davis bill, which is the doom of the saloon Florida. The gover- nor vs found the right side and there is never any doubt as to where he stands or how he will act when a question of morality involved. Governor in i on borrow “to or Austria wants to two hundred million dollars paid from indemnities wise.” Sorry, but we've just let a tramp printer have what loose change we had on us. At that, consider it a one to the be othe re- we just as good loan as Austrian government The mean, man who such heast]y the ended is now right with a big kick about the heat. *As a rule, man’'s a fool-~when it's hot, he wants it cool; when it's cool, he wants it hot--ne'er contented with his lot,” ete. The peculiar thing about this rule that man’s a fool is, there are no exceptions to it. never saw a one re- deck winter cently on The Dothan Eagle the meanest thing a man can do is to tell candidate who hasn't a ®host of a chance that he'll be elected . Still, every candidate wants to be told just that, and he'd put down a liar and an enemy the man who told him he was with- out the ghost of a chance. Try the | plain, unvarnished truth on the next candidate that comes around, and note the drop in the temperature. —— 1t said that the resolution to submit the State-wide prohibition amendment was lost through the de- sertion of one member of the Senate, who was so drunk that he did not know how he was voting. Regard- less of how one might view the question of State-wide if this charge be true, this Senator is deserving of impeachment. A man who would appear in the tive halls in a drunken condition is a disgrace to the State and a re- proach to the constituency which elected him, and the latter correct their mistake by demanding his immediate removal. as MEMBERS CHAMBER OF COM- MERCE MUST STAND TOGETHER The Lakeland merce will Chamber of Com- recognized through. out the country as a strong and in . fluential organization; but it is no stronger than its members make it. In their hands it may be weak and vacillating or forceful and deter- mined, moving forward with fixed purpose and definite program. No other organization offers such a ve- hicle for the advancement of the best community interests, for no other organization represents all elements of the business and pro- fessional life of the city A commercial nization of this character mirrors the manifold Phases of progress or retrogression of its locale, and therefore it is the duty of every member to take an active interest in its affairs, so that it will reflect the most modern thought and make the impress of greatest good to all. Lakeland is now passing through the crucible of changing conditions. Great influences at work; un- seen forces are felt on eaery hand; and the Chamber of Commerce should play the part of a powerful organization in 'Shflpiflg the desti- nies of the city. The Lakeland of tomorrow will be a Lakeland fash- joned out of the dreams of today, the dreams of greatness; but if these dreams are to bhe crystallized into achievements it is imperative that all members of this oreanization stand together, shoulder to should- er, on the firing line and practice reciprocity.

WANT TAX COMMISSION ABOLISHED Talla May Represen- tative Weimer started what prom- |ises to be a warm fight in the House Monday when he introduced a bill to repeal the statute which created the tax commission. There has been |auite a discussion throughout the State of abolishing the tax commi i sion, there being many persons who do not believe the commission has jaccomplished any real good since their appointment in®1918. Com- |ing just after the statement of | Chairman John Neil issued ,Which showed that many tax assess- ors in the State have failed to per form their duty according to law, there will be much activity on the part of the friends of the commis- sion to sustain them and prevent | their abolition. The commissioners a power to fix equal as: Money raised by taxation is rais- ed to conserve public welfare. Under a representative form of government, appropriations are made from this fund by those who are selected to perform the fune- tions of government, because it is inconvenient, even impossible, that every taxpayer shall have a voice and vote in determining the appor- i tionments, The duty of government is to do for the people those things which they, as individuals, eannot do for themselves, to provide such condi- tions that every individual shall be protected from unlawful depreda- tions and shall be guaranteed his rights and safety in the pursuit of | | his own in his home. i Government among things, ry d public it collect the amounts as- d and finally determines in | what manner the tund so collected |shall be expended. was business and determines, the by taxation | other amount to be | purp nec for king for ments, a | the assessors are asking that thev I be constituted a State hoard of tax '“"‘""‘«-uunllznrs.
