General Purposes and
Attainable Ideals for
a Material Prosperity

Pensacola, with 100000 population,
secure in full realization of its posi-
bilities, the centre of an awakened
area. with manufacturing commercial
and Industrial development and thou
sands of contented farmers and truck
growers" such is the expressed
aim of the Gulf Coast Development
Association for west Florida.
F. F. Sapp, secretary of the above
Association. is in the city for short
time on private business, and is en-
bracing the opportunity to personally
study the present status with view
10 future work. After an extended
interview, The Journal is authorized
to present a statement, in advance of
complete details, as to plans by which
1t is hoped to accomplish the above
results.
This statement" said Mr.. Sapp,
may seem extravagant, but those
who have studied the natural advan-
tages. who are watching the kaleido-
scopic change of transportation econ
omicS as affected by the proposed
Panama canal and the growing trade
10 South America and the Orient, and
who are watching the other signs of
the times in the widespread gulf re-
Sion, Will recognize that our aim is
no eXaggeration of possibilities, no
dream Of an OptimiSt, but a statement
Oh well warranted possibilities.
Changing Conditions.
A study of export commercial
and industrial statistics shows con-
clusively that these changing condi-
lions are opening up to the gulf coast
opportunities realized only by the few
and that those few are often consider
ing them only from the standpoint of
selfish gain.
Our organization recognizes the

fact that all of the gulf coast country
from Apalachicola river on the east
to Pearl river (the Louisiana Hne) =,
on the west, is similar in soil and eli
mate, and all is facing similar COM
mercial, industrial and agricultural
conditions. An active campaign, COM
pretending the development of this
entire region, will result in greater
development of an individual city or
locality than can possibly be secured
by its unaided efforts. This does not
in any way preclude development by
commercial clubs of their special dis
tricts, but rather supplements it, and
secures the advantages of cooper
alton over a greater territory, by a
greater number of people and with a
resultant economy in expenditure of
money and effort.
1T is our plan to get at the basic
conditions that either thwart devel-
opment here or produce great devel-
opment elsewhere.
How Los Angeles Does.
For instance, 1t Is pertinent to
know how Los Angeles, but few
years ago a Mexican pueblo village
with a population less than tho, pop
ulation of Pensacola, grew TO a pop
ulation of over 100000, greater than
the entire territory covered by this
association. Why has that city, 20
miles inland, with almost no natural
advantages as compared with those
of a dozen locations in our territory,
an assessed valuation in 1906 ION a
so per cent. basisi of over S200.O0O,-
geo; with the land along its business
streets at an average of $4,000 a

$1,000 a front foot; with banking cap
ital in 1906 of $4,000, 900 and bank
clearings for the same year of $57S,-

more than $100,000,00o, or about s340
per capita on January /, 1906, and the

is it that in the face of coal import

manufactured products of Los An
geles have reached value of $780,
900, 900, despite adverse conditions,
which include meat, clothing and ne
cessities of life brought in over long
haulS from the middle or eastern
states?
why has this great agricultural
development around Los Angeles been
undertaken, with its need of immigra-
ton, with its small farms of prosper
GUS settlers, and land valuations
running to $500 and $500 an acre, and
thousands engaged in the culture of
oranges, English walnuts, olives,
grapes, to be hauled in endless train
loads to feed the dense centers OF

GREAT NORTHERN STOCK CASE
Railroad Claims Right TO Issue Secu-
rifles Under Charter Issued
Another Company.

ST PAUL Jan. s.-Arguments were be-
gun today in the Injunction proceedings
brought against the Great Northern rail-
road to prevent the proposed issue Of tso.-
100000 additional stock
Counsel for the railroad argued that the
state could not, prevent the issue because
the railroad had the right under the origi-
nal charter of the Minneapolis e. st. Cloud
railway to issue it They further claim
that at the time one previous issue was
made an opinion had been given by the
attorney general that the Issue conformed
with the state law; also that the state
railnoad commission is purely legislative
and not judicial body, and could not de-
termine the necessity OF the proposed
issue.
Attorney General Young speaking for
the state. said the right OF the commission
10 give authority for the stock issue went
TO the vitals of the situation in respec:
20 the protection which the state wished
10 grant the people. The defendant had
issued SIS 10000 worth Of stock year ago
and absolutely nothing had been heard of
what had been done with the proceeds. He
said II was not for the railroads to say
because the law had been violated in one
other. The law, he said. had never been
repealed and the records of the attorney
generals once did not show any such
opinion as was said to have been given.
Even II 1t had such an opinion would not
be binding and the railroad was playing
the baby act

TARIFF EXPERTS MUST HURRY
State Department Tells Men In Ger
many that IL Wants
Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The State de-
partment has intimated TO the experts who
were sent 20 Germany TO confer with Ger
man experts and compare notes relative
to complaints against the American tariff
schedules that II would like to have a re-
port before the middle of February. This
request was made necessary by the fact
that II any legislation is necessary to give
effect TO the recommendations of the tariff
experts, at least two weeks time will be
required TO perfect IL.
While IL is hoped by the department
that. as the result Of their conference with
the Germans. the American experts will be
able 70 recommend some changes In ad-
ministration that could be effected by a
mere amendment Of the rules by the sec
retary Of the treasury. It is regarded as
probable that the changes recommended
VIII be such as require legislation. In
this latter case II congressional action
upon the propositions cannot be expected
before the adjournment OF the present ses-
sion, then IL will be necessary TO ask the
German government 70 again extend the
provisions OF the present German law ad-
mitting America TO the privileges OF the
minimum tarin in Germany.
