TRANSFORMATION FOR
THE NEWSPAPER MEN

The Levy County Democrat delivers
itself in the following manner con-
corning the recent ruling of the rail
road commission that prohibits rail
roads from exchanging transportation
to newspaper men for advertising:
The candidate for railroad com
missioner who expects 10 get oar vote
and Influence must pledge himself to
favor the repeal of the recent unjust
ruling Of the commission which pro-
hibits newspapers from exchanging
advertising space with railroads for
transportation. The ruling is arbit-
rary. and as blow at the freedom of
the press will do more tn create senti-
ment for the abolition of the commits
sion than any other act. Inasmuch
as the railroad commissions travelling
expenses are paid by the suffering tax
payers, that august body can talk very
slibly about how common people must
ray in cash or walk Satisfactory ex-
change has never been deemed robbery
in any age of the world until the Flor
ida railroad commission came on the
stage"
We do not believe the Democrat has
missed the mark in sizing up the rul-
ing as an arbitrary" one, and we are
wholly unable to see where any in
terest can be conserved. or any good
Of any kind can come from it. In fact.
it is reflection upon the press, in
that it insinuates between the lines
that there is dangerous collision be-
tween the railroads and the press that
harm can come of it.-Live Oak DEM

LET ocALA PROVIDE SAFETY

The city ordinance providing safety
exits to public buildings was timely.
Il may be the question of the width OF
the doors was larger than necessary,
but 1t is a matter Of vital Importance
to the well being and safety Of our
people in case Of fire and we trust the
city council will quickly make the
needed change so our public buildings
can be prepared for fire emergencies.
The awful holocaust at a Collins
wood. Ohio, school should not only
arouse US to a sense Of safety, but
cause US to make all the needed prep
arations to our public buildings to
avert a like catastrophe.
A month or so ago the Star contain
ed a communication about the risk run
in the armory theater, with no rear
door Of exit and the windows barred.
While 1t is true the school building for
our white children has two entrances
and exits. the cOlOred building, How
ard Academy. has only one on the sec
ond story. which should be remedied.
Mayor Nash vetoed the ordinance de-
handing six-fOOt doors to churches.
but leaves it applicable to all other
public places. or course. the danger
in churches in case of fire panic is
less than in other public buildings,
especially il the public building au-
dience room is not on the ground floor.
which is the case with all the churches
OF the city.
The matter is now before the public
and the city council should see it is
perfected and put to use before 50 vital
a question is dropped. This school dis
aster in Ohio raises the question about
doors to our public buildings swing
ing outward. The fact that the doors
OF this school building swung inward
was responsible for the loss Of many
lives.
