Were Not Practicable

Replying to the Lake Butler Stars
enquiry as to what became of the
good roads" bills in the Legislature.
Speaker Matthews, in his paper, the
Bradford County Telegraph, has the
following reply:
Went the way of other bills that
lacked the merit to secure their pas
sage. The only one of these bills
that proposed to do anything was
regarded by a majority of members
of the house of representatives as
wholly impracticable. 1t proposed
the construction of three state roads
that would have cost millions of del
lars with direct benefits to only a
small percentage of the people. For
instance, the only benefit accruing
to Bradford county under the bill
was proposed loop of the east coast
main line to be built from Green
Cove Springs via Starke and Gaines
vile and connecting again with one
of the main lines at some southern
point. This would have been very
nice for Starke, but it would have
cost the county somewhere from a
quarter to half million dollars and
Starke would much prefer to see
that amount of money spent in
building good roads throughout
Bradford county. Many other coun-
ties were similarly situated in the
matter, and thus the bill came to its

SOME GOOD ADVICE

b. Hon. II. w. Long, president of the
County Commissioners and Good
Roads association of Florida, in his
address to the good roads convention
in Pensacola last week, among many
other sensible things, said;
AS an eXtenuation of seeming in
difference on the part of the last
Legislature, desire to remind you
that in the preparation of Il good
roads bill, adequate to the necessi-
ties of Florida, there are intricasies
to be overcome, which can only be
done by practical knowledge of the
construction of good roads. AS the
members of the Florida legislature
were not practical road builders, and
as perhaps the members of that body
who were the most influential in the
passage of bills knew least about
their construction, recommend that
through our legislative and good
roads committees you commence at
once to devise plans, and adopt
means, to secure the preparation of a
good roads bill, to be enacted into
law by the next legislature of Florf-
da; that il suitable committee of eX-
perts be secured to present that bill.
and go before the proper committees
OF the Legislature and explain it's
merits, As the efforts of that COM
mlttee Will be for the benefit of the
people OF the state at large, | recon-
mend that an appropriation be asked
for by the Legislature of Florida.
Sui1lcleut to pay the actual expenses
OF that committee.
AS graft, malfeasance and mis-
ieaSance in office seems to have
made encrOachments in few coun-
ties OF the state, | recommend that
you by suitable action set your seal
OF condemnation upon those offenses
in unmeasured terms"
Mr.. Long is right. The bill that is
eventually to become the good roads
law Of Florida should not be made
by other than experts. Had such a
bill been before the recent Iegisla-
ture-a bill that had been thoroughly
discussed in advance and backed by
the endorsement of the business in
terests of the state-it might have
stood some show of passing. In the
bills presented to the legislature and
defeated there was more of politics
than practical business sense, and
the Legislature, catching onto the
game, refused to approve.

FRANK CLARK'S
IMMIGRATION SCHEME

Congressman Frank Clark has a
great head and one that he is con-
stantly using to think up schemes
for the benefit of Florida.
His latest is an immigration
scheme, and it is daisy"
The State Board of Trade and other
associations of business men who
have felt disappointment at the fail
ure of the late legislature to pass an
immigration act creating bureau to
induce immigrants to settle in Flori-
da should take kindly to this Frank
Clark idea.
The News will be glad to collect
the information desired by Mr..
Clark and forward the same to him,
and to this end it invites to corpora
ton of the business men and farmers
of this county.
Here is Mr.. Clark's scheme as it
comes to this office from that wide
awake and industrious Florida Con-
gressman:
Gainesville, Fla, June %, 1907.
Hon. w. A. Russell,
Palatka, Fla,
Dear Mr.. RUSSELL
1t occurs to me, in view of the
fact that our people universally rec
ognize that the crying need of Flori-
da at the present time is an influx of
immigrants of the right kind, viz:
| intelligent and industrious farmers,
! that about the best service that l
can render the state is to make Il
speech in Congress this winter on
the subject of Florida" and in that
speech set forth in detail the many
advantages offered to the indus
trious, intelligent and thrifty small
| farmer in the different portions of
my district. To do this effectively
| | must have the assistance of friends
in the different counties in the way
of furnishing me with data of the
right kind, and will appreciate it if
you will, at the earliest possible day,
| furnish me with the following:
% A general description of Put
nam county, the area of cultivated
and uncultivated land, the character
of soil, character of products, popu-
lation, et;.
q Some special instances of sue
cessful farming, giving the name and
post office address of farmer, kind OF
crop grown, number of acres Guilt
waited, amount of stuff produced per
acre, and total amount of money re-
allied, total cost of production and
net profits. / would only want one
or two instances of successful farm
ing and would like to have the facts
in regard thereto sworn to by the
party, if possible. | would also like
to have statement showing the
minimum and maximum prices for
which farm lands can be purchased.
dislike to trouble you, but regard
this as the best way for me to get
the information sought, and believe
that you will be willing to aid in this
work.
My purpose is to have a great many
thousands of copies of this speech
printed and distributed among the
farmers in the west and northwest,
and / firmly believe that the result
will be to add largely to our farming
population from a most desirable
class of people. Thanking you in
advance and with best wishes, | re-
main, Yours sincerely,
FRANK CLARK
