Governor Broward and the News
papers.

! Governor BroWard in his speech
| Saturday night, again made his IA
vorite speech for the support of the
most unthinking and unprecedented
class of Florida voters. He bitterly
attacked the state press. claiming that
| it was controlled by the railroads and
corporations and subservient to the
wishes of its masters. Governor Brow
| ard would like the people to see in
their imagination standing in opposi-
ton to all this cringing venality-
great man belonging to no one and
not subservient to the will Of any
master. Probably some of the people
see all this-in their imaginations.
Governor Broward was especially Bit
ter against the Jacksonville papers,
and said he was elected without their
aid and that he did not care whether
, they fought him or not. He was NOM
mated without their support, which
fact possibly accounted for his bitter
accepts the governors certificate that
acquits it of responsibility for him. He
was elected without our support and
when we see the costly tomfoolery in
which he is now engaged We are bet
ter pleased than ever with the posi-
ton, we assumed in the primaries. The
Times Union, however, is not fight
ing Governor Broward, has not fought
him, will not fight him. When he is
trying to carry out a policy that will
injure the people of Florida or dis
credit the state we will do everything
in our power to prevent his success.
When he happens to be right We will
help him, not caring snap whether
he appreciates our help or not.
But in speaking of his election with
out the aid of tahe Jacksonville papers
Governor Broward did not say half
as much as he might have said. He
failed to state that he was elected
without the vote of his own county,
without the vote Of his own city, with
out the vote of his own ward. He did
not mention the fact that the over
whelming majority of his neighbors
voted against him and that he was
elected by the votes of the men who
knew very little about him; but that
is true nevertheless.
We care nothing for Governor
Broward's attack on the Times Union.
This paper is pretty we'll known over
the state. was we'll known before any
body ever heard of Napoleon b.
Broward, and will be known when he
is forgotten. Governor BrOward may
say what he wishes. The people of

It Did Not Require the Commission

not say 1t claims that the railroad
commission reduced the passenger
fare from four cents to three cents
per mile.
The Florida East Coast railway vol
UNFAIRLY made this reduction before
any such rule was promulgated by the
commission and the other railroads,
in all probability, would have quickly
followed in the wake of the Flagler
system.
But the legislature of Florida be-
fore the civil war fixed the passen-

had been enforced by the proper Off

OUR RAILROAD COMMISSION.


We frankly confess to scant knowl-
edge of the subject, but If it Is
fact as asserted and repeated by the
Ocala Banner, that the Florida railroad
commission is a practically worthless
factor in our state government in the
matter of securing equitable freight
, rates for our shippers, it is proper
matter for public discussion and some
remedy should be applied. The COM
mission may be doing it's best-it is
fair to assume that 1t is-but undoubt-
edly the chief benefit expected from
it's creation was in the matter of Sc
curing just rates for shippers, and II
it fails in that most important of all
claims upon it's service the public has
right 10 know the cause of the fail
ure and an equal right to a remedy if
one be possible. Is the trouble in the
personnel of the commission or in the
impossibility of enforcing its orders if
the railroads choose to defy them?
Have complaints been made of unfair
freight rates and has the commission
responded in each instance and gone
to the limit of its authority in adjust
ing the grievence? These are pertinent
questions and as the commissioners
are the servants of the people, elected
expressly to promote and protect their
interests in their relations to the rail-
road companies, the people have a
right 10 an answer To PREJUDICE the
commission and declare it worthless
especially in view of the notorious
fact that the railroads hold state COM
legal authority to alter their rates,
would not be fair. But the people
have a right to know if the commits
sion has in fact sought to change the
unjust freight rates, and if the rail-
roads have defeated them in that pur-
pose and made it impossible through
the courts or otherwise for its man.
dates to be enforced. If that can be
shown the commission will stand ac-
quilted, for it has exhausted its re-
sources to effect the reform for which
it was instituted. The Banner gives
some specific instances of producers
driven out of the state by excessive
freight exactions of the railroads, but
failed to say if these people made ap-
plicatiOn to the commission for re-
lief. Two commissioners are to be
elected next fall and this will give OPP
portunity for thorough ventilation of
the whole question. If the two MEM
bers whose places are to be supplied
are themselves candidates for re-
election they will be given opportuni-
ty TO present their side of the case
fully and they should not fail to avail
themselves of it. We are neither de-
Tending nor attacking the commission
we simply want TO know if the facts
will sustain the assertion of the Ban
ner that that body is permitting SER
ious injury to the shipping interests
of Florida by not compelling the rail-
roads to make just freight rates. All
the people of Florida are deeply inter-
ested in the question.-Live Oak Dem

A LITTLE MORE LIGHT.

| The Ocala Banner fo- the past sew
eral weeks has taken a few shots at
the railroad commission, but the trou-
BILE is, the editor of the Banner is a
little too indefinite in his remarks. If
| Mr.. Harris will be little more explic-
it and go a little more into detail as
to lust what he expects the commits
| sioners to do, perhaps, good may come
from his criticisms.
! The Banner wants rates fixed so the
interior towns can grow. The Ban
ner dreams of the good old times be-
fore the commission was established
when, as it alleges, the interior towns
had a chance.
Now, what we would like to know
is the exact process by which the
| commission did away with those good
old times When the commission was
established it adopted the class rates
of the railroads practically as they
then existed. The same system is in
existence today except that they have
been reduced in many cases.
The railroads made special rates
then which were lower than the class
rates, they can and do make such
rates now, provided, they are not dis
eliminating as between person or
places.
The editor of the Banner is mistak-
en- if he thinks that the railroad COM
mission prevents the railroads from
giving Ocala such advantageous rates
as will make that little city become
more prosperous. The commission
ers would doubtless bid the roads God
speed provided they gave the other in
terror towns of the state a like OPP
portunity.
The Banner thinks the commission
ers should have no knowledge of water
competition in making rates Will the
Banner please state what it means by
this? The railroad commissioners have
nothing to do with interstate rates,
Mr.. Harris. except to take up with the
interstate commerce commission. and
that institution is practically power
less to do anything.
The Banner thinks the fruit and veg
etable shippers have asgood ground for
complaint against the commission.
The Banner ought to inquire a little.
Although the rates to the north
ern markets are interstate, yet
through the good offices of the COM
mission, more than two thirds of them
have been reduced below what they
were before the commission was abol-
ished
The Banner thinks the commission
ers ought to "equalize" freight rates.
Why bless you, the only rates which
the commissioners have not based
entirely upon mileage are the fruit
and vegetable rates which they were
instrumental in getting reduced.
Surely rates based entirely on
mileage are not fairer for seaports
than interior towns.
We hope the editor of the Banner
will be a little more explicit in his
complaints. Perhaps we can find
where the commissioners have been
remiss.-Madison Recorder.

The Governor is Not in Love With
the Newspapers.

But Governor Broward makes the
general charge against the papers of
the state (and he hiss made it before)
'hat they are controlled by corpor-
atoms, and are subservient to the wills
OF their masters. Does he mean this
OF all the papers of Florida? He did
not name any exceptions.
When G@ernor Broward makes this
charge he charges what he does not
know 10 be true The people will
form their own opinion of a man who
VIII make a statement not knowing
whether it is true or false.-Times-

AS the Barren Fla Tree

The Live Oak Democrat says that
instances of producers driven out of
the state by excessive freight exac-
tions of the railroads, but that we fail
ed to say if these people made appli-
cation to the commission for relief
The Tampa Times says the instances
the Ocala Banner cited is the eXper-
fence of every vegetable grower in ev-
cry county in Florida, so surely the
Florida railroad commission cannot be
blind and deaf to these things. If ev-
evry body else is cognizant of these
facts why are they unknown to the
commission? They were elected as
mediators between the people and the
railroads and it should not be necessary
for every shipper to be harassed by
making constant and continual COM
plants
But why, We are asked, abolish the
commission?
Because the shippers say that they
can make better terms by dealing di-
rectly with the railroads.
AS it is now, they say the railroads
will make no concessions, alleging
that if they did 50. they would be vio-
lating the rules and regulations made
by the commission.
