DESIRE
CHANGE
IN LAW
After Making Many Recon-
mendatiOns to Legislature
School Snperintendents
Adjourn

After having been in session fol
two days, and making many recon.
mendations to the next legislature
regarding the enactment of a new
educational law, the meeting OF
county school superintepdents has
adjourned.
Among the most important chang
es in the present laws that are rec
commended are these:
That the minimum length of a
district school shall be increased
from three to Ave months.
That the county school levy shall
be raised from six to eight per cap
ita, meaning that the minimum
term is raised sc per cent and the
minimum levy 33 per cent.
That only one second or third
grade certificate shall be issued to
a teacher in the state.
That algebra and physical geog-
raphy be added to the list of sub
jects in examinations for county IL
cense.
That the compensation of the
county board of examiners be in
creased from SO to S. per day; that
county courts be required to audit
travelling expenses of all county su-
perintendents not to exceed $500 per
year; that the county shall pay for
the Office expenses; that the school
census be taken in November instead
of May.
A committee was appointed to
wait on Governor Chamberlain to
try to get his consent to approve of
the passage of bill once vetoed by
him to allow county courts 70 allow
the expenses of superintendents
while attending meetings like this.
After these recommendation
were formulated. number of edu-
cational topics were discussed.

Big Fortunes of Today.

AS soon as we realize this great
primary fact. we shall realize in
what the fallacy of the theory of
tx" conists. In the vast majority
of cases. the great fortunes of today
derive the additions made alike to
their. amount and number. not from
the reservoir of property which their
possessors find existing. but from the
constantly growing additions which
year by year are made to 1t. What,
then, is the origin of these latter ad-
ditions themselves? If the theory of
tx" had any meaning at all, they
must be due to some universal in
crease in efficiency which develops
itself equally in all men, even the
idlest, the most brutal and the most
stupid. But "X" himself admits
that such is not the case. The diff
men in rendering social service are.
he says, immense and incalcuable. ="
In other words. to what TX" would
call the increasing common prop
erty," few men are constantly con-
tributing intellectually more, and for
man than to do the multitude; and
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1906-10-06

that increasing fund from which the
great fortunes are drawn is not a
fund abstracted from a stock which
would exist in any case, but consists
of additions to this made by those
few men whose efficiency is "im-
mensely and intellectually" above the
average.
Thus, the kind of bargain which
virtually takes place between the
typical posesssor of the great private
fortunes and the community, is of a
character totally opposite to that
which tx" imagines. The great In
ventor or organizer of industry does
not say, In vague terms, to the COM
munity, 81 am able to do something
to your advantage or Il am anxious
to devote myself to your service. ;
What will you allow me as compen-
sation. to abstract from the aggre-
gate of property which you at present
possess?" { for such is the meaning
of the language put into his mouth
by "X'D. But here he says to the
community. "There Is such and such
a number of your members whose

Smiles

The body of The Journals argu-
ment against a Republican ticket be-
ing elected is in sad contrast with the
walls of that paper during the past
nine months. when its sole source OF
grief seemed to be that the Demo-
Gratis on the city council were given
any recognition at all.-Salem
Statesman.
The Journal must again decline to
be misrepresented by the States
man. 1t made no argument against
a Republican ticket being elected at
the coming election. The Statesman
cannot quote any such argument
from this paper. When asked to
quote words to sustain its former
Misrepresentation, that this paper
was trying to dictate a ticket, it
backed up its bald invention by
copying an editorial from this paper
condemning grafters and machine
methods. When has this paper not
condemned grafters and machine
trickery and jobbery, and when has
the Statesman condemned such
things? The Journal will go a step
further. and say that men who mis-
manage their own affairs are not fit
to manage the public affairs. Men
who do not pay their store bills are
not fit to take charge of the city
government. The Journal has never
objected to Democrats being recog-
nized in the city government. Let
us be Republicans or non-partisans.
Let us be Democrats or Citizens. but
let us not wear one mask to deceive
the public and another to serve some
boss. Editor Dayey has not got this
spasm of intense partisanship for
nothing, and it behooves him just
now to insist on an absolutely
straight Republican city ticket.
However, he is a good fellow, and
we shall not quarrel with him. He
has always stood up for progressive
policies. He was instrumental In Sc
curing the charter OF Greater Sa-
lem, and would not make bad may
or OF the city himself.

sired, but thete are mighty few of
them that do it.
In Escambia county, the people
never had any means Of knowing what
the county commissioners were doing
with their money until the Journal
began the practice Of publishing the
finance committees report, but even
that does not cover the ground as
completely as it should.
The next legislature should pass a
law compelling the county commits
sioners to publish the proceedings of
every meeting held and to publish
once a month a detailed statement of
all their expenditures.
Escambia county's new delegation
to the legislature, one OF whom is the
present attorney for the board OF
county commissioners and who is in a
position to appreciate the need of a
law of this kind, are invited to give
this subject their thoughtful consider

New Orleans Playing
A Very Small Part.

The New Orleans newspapers have
always been noted for the parsimony
which characterizes their treatment of
rival ports and on some occasions
they have not been above absolute
misrepresentation. The latter is the
case, in the correspondence which the
Picayune publishes from its Washing
ton representative, who, in discussing
the early retirement of Admiral Endi-
colt, as chief OF the bureau of yards
and docks, says:
The city of New Orleans has con-
siderable at stake in the selection of
a successor of Admiral Endicott, be-
cause the growth of the Naval Station
viii depend very largely upon whether
or not the new chief is real friend
or an officer who is positively indif-
ferent to the future of the station.
Officers who have spent any consider
able time in New, Orleans can be de-
pended upon as loyal supporters, but
there are many, particularly of the
line, who, having no actual knowledge
of conditions and climate in that sec
ton of the United States, prefer as
signments In the east, and have come
TO look upon the growth of station
in the south as undesirable and I'M
practicable. If that sentiment is 10
prevail New Orleans will never ad.
vance beyond the rank of a repair
station. But if the plans that have
been mapped out by those who are
thoroughly interested can be carried
to fruition, it will have a fresh water
basin and have share in the can
struction of battleships and cruisers

proved to the Navy Department thai

The Matter of
Gubernatorial Succession.

If Governor Broward should die or
vacate his Office Park Trammell of
Lakeland would at once become gov
ernor, but if Senator Trammell shou;d
die or resign the presidency of the
senate before the governor left his
Office, who, then, would become the
chief executive of the state?
Our constitution makes no provis-
ion for a succession to Office in this
case beyond the speaker of the house
Of representatives, who follows the
president of the senate in the order
of succession, but since the last gen.
eral election there Is no speaker of
the house as the term of Albert Gil
christ, as a member of that body from
DeSoto county, has expired and a new
speaker will not be elected until the
next meeting of the legislature.
Should the governor die between
November and April of any even
numbered year and the president of
the senate should have resigned pre-.
viously Floridians would find them
selves without a chief executive and
without way to get one, at least on
! a short notice:
Between November 1897 and April
1898 had Goxernor BloXham died
Florida would have been placed in
just such position. The late Chas
J. Perrenot of Santa Rosa county was
president of the senate and Dannette
H. Mays, of Monticello, was speaker
of the house at the session of 1897
but during the summer of that year
Perrenot died and Mays's term ex
PRED in the following November, leav
ing Bloxham without a successor
should he have died in the interval
between November and April
If governor should resign under
these conditions he could easily cal
a special session of the Legislature
and a new president of the senate
could be elected who would succeed
to the governorship, when he vacated
his office, but the chances are thai

Western Unions Treatment
of Pensacola.

The treatment which Pensacola is
and has been receiving at the hands
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the service which this
city is getting can be properly char
acterized by only one word-rotton.
And when the amount of money
which the Western Union annually
takes out of Pensacola is considered
in connection with the service which
we get, the situation is even worse
than it would ordinarily appear.
We are not making any criticism of
the men or employees in charge of the
local office-they evidently nave
enough to put up with in their rela-
tons with the company without
having to bear complaint at our
hands. In fact, we believe that under
the circumstances they are doing as
well as anyone could very well do, and
they We do not think are responsible
for the miserable service which is
being rendered.
The company has not enough men
at Pensacola to properly handle its
business here Its Office is small,
dark, dirty hole, inadequate to the de-
mands of the business, and unfit in
every way for employees to inhabit or
for the public to have to patronize.
It's employees are both underpaid and
overworked, and there is nothing con-
nected with it's policy in Pensacola
, that can commend it to the public
or justify the treatment which its pa.
irons receive.
This subject is one which we re.
spectfully commend to the considera-
ton Of the Chamber of Commerce, the
City Council, and possibly the Railroad
Commission. Pensacola has the repu.
tation of being both Indifferent and
long suffering, but this is one case in
which, while the suffering has been
both long and intense, the indiffer-
ence has passed the limit with those
who are SO unfortunate as 70 have to
patronize the public service corpora
ton to which we refer.

A Publicity Law
Should Be Enacted.

The State of Florida has multipli-
city of iaws-good, bad, and indiffer-
ent-but among them all there is no
adequate provision made for keeping
the people posted as to the various ex-
penditures of their public servants
and the cost of state ana county gov
eminent
We refer particularly, however, to
county affairs as conducted by the
county commissioners, The work of
the board of county commissioners is
more directly important to the tax
payers themselves than is the work
of all the other county officers COM
bined, and yet there is hardly line
on the statute books that provides
for any publicity regarding their con-
duct of the county's business.
Nearly all states require the va
rious boards of county commissioners
to publish a monthly statement OF
their proceedings, showing what they
have actually done, how much money
they have expended, and what the
money was paid out for.
There is nothing in the Florida
statutes that requires this, and conse
quently the public has to depend OF
the enterprise of the newspapers tC
get any idea of what its public ser
wants are doing with the taxpayers
money.
This is all right where newspapers
are enterprisng enough and impartia
enough to give the information de
