GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP Q
RAILROADS.

Mr.. Louis II. Enrich, q member OF
the great mercantile firm Of the En-
rich Brothers. of New York, has just
returned from q tour of Europe and
I'm q letter to the New York World
says he does not see how any Ameri-
can after travelling in Europe. can
favor government ownership of rail
roads. One OF the facts he said that
impressed him most strongly was the
inferiority Of government railroads. .
not only in the lack Of accommoda-
lions offered but In the infrequency
and poorer service of the train.
He says the rates are also higher
than our own. Continuing Mr.. En-
rich says:
at is noteworthy that the best and
sthe cheapest European railroad ser
vice exists in England under private
ownership. In countries like Spain,
where both government and private
railroad ownership prevails, the con-
trast is most striking. The superior
lily of the privately owned railroads
stands out in every detail. 1t is safe
to say that under the regime of gov
ernment-owned railroads, as exempli-
ned in Euroe today, it would have
been absolutely impossible for the
United States to have reached its
present industrial development.
In fact, government ownership is
deterrent In nearly every field. Take
the telephone. The cost of the SER
vic is considerably less in Europe. In
France and telephone conversation
costs only three cents. And yet any
New York business man who has
tried to usee the telephone in Lon
don or Paris must have felt that con-
sidering the difference in service. he
would gladly prefer to pay the New
York rate rather than submit to such
European service even if offered free
of all charge whatever. Such service
would make business here next to
impossible Asuredly there are many
evils in the field of American rail
road finance and of American railroad
operation, but the cure offered by Mr..
Bryan would be infinitely worse than
the disease"
Mr.. Enrich says that the republican
party should be driven from power
on three counts, viz: Firstly, because
of its injustice to the Fillpinos. Sec.
ondly. because Of his reckless extrava-
gance Thirdly and mainly. because
OF its adhesion TO that source of all
economic villany--the so-called pro-
tective system.

not intend a but he is most helpful

Editor Frank Harris. Ocala, Fla.
My Dear sir:--I was little sur
prised when ! read in the Times-Un
ION the following: "The rich lands
Of Marion county need no drainage
and can be bought for less per acre
than the everglades will cost per acre
for drainage. And the lands in Mar
ION county will fertiiize the ever
. glades."
Now, Col. Frank, what is the mat,
ter with you. know Marion county
pretty wei, passed through Ocala in
1s47, when boy then there was
only a log cabin among tall shady
oak trees; q lovely country then, and
long since that time ! have known
more or less Of the grand old county
of Marion. always enjoyed stopping
mt the Harris Hotel" a homelike,
commodious hotel where everybody
felt themselves at home under the
hospitable care of the host and hos
tess. ] have known you since your
earliest days of journalism, read your
editorials with much pleasure and
never knew you to make such bad
break before-such a mistake.
/ say this, Col. Frank, because l
am sure that can find lots of land
In Marion county which needs drain
age. How about that Meadow Land
Sugar Farm drainage scheme up to-
wards Fort Mccoy where thousands of
dollars were spent to drain those low
fiat lands lying between big Orange
Lake at the Ocklawaha? thing re-

did my level best to get big grant of

pose Of concentrating big drainage

I am sure, but you had forgotten all
about II.
Now, l am not saying word in
disparagement to good old Marion
county, for there is nothing bad to
say about her. How about that fer
tilizing business? am impressed that
q happy blending of the soil of Mar
ION county with that Of the everglades
would be grand. ] do not mean the
rich clay soil of Marion and sandy

The year 1906 Is not included. fol
the reason that the Incorporation o.
jackson has diverted large proper
tion Of the license revenue from the
county treasury. 1t would not afford
any criterion of judgment between
the present and the past official term.
So in the tabuIated statement we
have difference of s2Ol7 in favor of
the Norman administration. That is
over s670 per year. Certainly this
showing looks we'll tor the present
official. If Gregory beat all previous
records in license business, L. X.
Norman has thrown him hopelessIy in
the shade. No one will contend that
the increased revenue of 1910 per year
was owing to an increase in the num-
Der of business places subject to
license. 1t was simply tnat the re-
publican officer was more Jealous in
his work of getting in the licenses.
We are unable to give a sufficient
reason for this sudden Jump in the
license collections, following immedi-
ately after change in the office of
license collector. One poi6t we have
looked up in regard to theatre licenses
issued and sold during the years 1902
and 1903, the first named being the
last year under the Gregory admin
istration, and the last named year
being the. first under the Norman
term. We find that in 1907. there
we're issued IL theatre licenses at $40
each, and IA at $3.50. In the same
year there were returned 4 $40
licenses and two S25 as unsold.
From this it follows that $40
licenses, amounting to $50, and -
$3.50, amounting to $50 we're paid
into the county treasury; a total of
Sll0 from this source of income dur
ing the year.
Turning to the first year of Nor
mans term-19O3-we find the ac-
count stands as follows:
Issued SO at $3.50 Returned 81 at 81. 80
SIS at 1000 &" "A at 10 90
Sold 25 at $3.50. amounting to
&c.. so, and II weekly at $40, amount
ing to $11O. So that the receipts in
the Norman year from $40 licenses
alone, amounted to exactly the same
figures as the total collected the pre-
vious year from both kinds of theatre
licenses, leaving the receipts from the
e. so, or $3.50, as the net balance in
favor of 1903. These are the facts
from the records. We have no ex-
PLANTATION to offer. Our readers must
form their own conclusions. Was
there such boom in the show bust
ness in 1908 that caused nearly two
thirds more revenue to flow into the
county treasury from that business
than the preceding year, or is it attrl-
butable to greater diligence on the
part of the collector in 1903.
