HALF CENT PER POUND
DUTY ON CUBAN PINES

The good news that the fight made
before congress by the Florida pine
apple growers for an increase in the
tariff on Cuban pineapples had been
successful, flashed over the wires yes
terday morning, and was occasion for
much jubiation here.
The telegram was brief. and was as
follows:
~ Washington, d. g., June %, 1909.
ST. LUCIE COUNTY TRIBUNE
Fort Pierce, Fla.
Pineapple amendment half cent per
pound passed the Senate this afternoon
by vote of thirty-four to thirty.
(Signed) TALIAFERRO.
The present duty on Cuban pine
apples is seven cents per cubic foot, A
crate contains two and one-half cubic
feet, making tariff of l7.5 cents =
less 20 per cent differential duty allowed
Cuba, giving net duty of IA cents.
The new duty of one-half cent will be
30 cents per crate, less 20 per cent, net
so cents, or an increase of Is cents per
crate. While not large, the increase
will be a great advantage to the Flor

SMALLER sizes of Cuban fruit being
shipped to the American market, and
should market conditions ever again
reach the low water mark of the
present season, the Cuban fruit would
be shut out of every market-except,
possibly, New York, where they have
water transportation.
All conditions being considered. it is
probable that the increase OF Is cents
in the duty on Cuban fruit, will in
crease the selling price of Florida pine.
apples nearly so cents per crate,
Much credit for this victory is due oul
Senators Taliaferro and Fletcher, the
members of the committee of growers
who visited Washington, and the indi
vidual growers who have urged congress
to pass the amendment, by telegraph.
If reduction of ten cents per crate
in the freight rate can now be secured
our growers will have much cause fol
genuine rejoicing.

URGES BOND ISSUE
TOBU|LD HIGHWAYS
j. L. McNab of Ukiah Says
State Aid Is Solution of
Good Roads Problem

The solution of the good roads prob
lem lies in state aid, according to a
speech delivered by J. L. McNab of
Ukiah before the Commonwealth club at
the ST. Francis hotel yesterday.
Our present system of maintaining
the highways of the state he said,
lis lax and inefficient. The boards of
supervisors Of the counties expend ap-
proximately s3,500,00o a year on the
roads of the state. The road work is
done, not by experts selected for their
knowledge of the work, but by politi-
clans who control the most votes. The
result is a crazy patchwork of road
ways, devoid of either system or uni
formity, and this, Notwithstanding the
fact that our state is rich in the finest
native road building material in the
world.
The $1S,oO0,000 bond issue to be
submitted for the approval of the peo-
pie at the next election will solve the
question for all time. The act of the
Legislature provides for the creation
of a system of state highways by the
issuance of state bonds, not to exceed
$1S,000.0 900, the principal of the bonds
to be paid by the state ana the inter-
est by the counties in proportion to the
amount actually expended within the
county limits. 1t is provided that two
great highways shall run the length of
the state, one through the valleys of
the Sacramento and the San Joaquin
and the other through fthe counties
skirting the coast.
1T is mistake to assume that the
country alone is interested in the sub
ject of good highways. The city and
the country are mutually dependent.
Prosperity in one insures prosperity
in the otherN Shut off the avenues that
lead into this city and in 48 hours busi-
ness would be at a standstill. In the
days that followed the great disaster
in San Francisco the interior cities
were as lifeless as cemeteries
