caught by the glittering promises
made. In default of any more COM
plete regulation, it would be a dis
tinct gain TO enact such regulations
as are provided in the uSury and pawn
broklng bills now under consideration
after allowing for some discussion as
10 the maximum rates permitted. But
their fault is that they do not go far
enough.
But there are other types of the
business affected by the two bills, in
which the rate of interest is not the
only consideration. The limited rate
OF interest permitted under the for
mer would eliminate many of the in
cldental evils, but not all of them.
There SHOULD be provision for putting
the contract into which the borrower
enters into plain, readily understood
form, so that he would know from the
first every possibility of the bargain
TO which he has bound himself. Much
of the evil of tie business centres
about the intricate contract which the
party of the second part" does not
understand until it is used as a club
TO force him into payment of sums
he never dreamed of. The sharks
flourish in part by means OF the en-
tlc1ng nature of their appeals to peo-
pie who otherwise would have done
without. And a plain, simple con-
tract, in which every possibility was
easily to be recognized, would do away
with an immense amount of miscon-
cept1On that leads only to suffering

Moral Forces Aroused
By Patten Wheat Corner

There has been introduced in the
Illinois legislature a bill aimed at
grain and stock gamblers of the
Patten type which it is hoped will
pass that body and also be adopted
by the legislatures of every state OF
the Union. The dispatch announcing
the introduction of the bill declares:
1T forbids all trading in futures, and
makes it a felony, punishable by i'm
prisonment of from one to fourteen
years for any person to sell or agree
to sell any commodity of which he
has not possession; a felony for any
person 20 S5ree to buy under such
conditions; a misdemeanor for a tele-
graph or telephone company know
ingly to transmit messages concern
ing such transaction, and a INSIDE
meanor for any board of trade or
stock exchange knowingly to permit
such transactions as part of its bust
ness For violation of the Iast-men-
toned provision, the board Of trade

heavy fine, would be liable to the loss

Gainesville Sun.
J AAA%%AA%~>~%A%

The Seaboard Air Line railway and
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad have
been making a charge Of 80 cents per
100 pounds on cotton from Alachua,
Fla, to Savannah, Ga, and Al cents
per 100 pounds from Gainesville and
50 cents per 100 pounds from Haw-
thorn, all three of these points being
equally distant from Savannah.
The Hawthorn shippers managed, in
some cases, to get a rate of DO cents
by shipping locally from Hawthorn to
Gainesville and then using the Gaines
vile rate to Savannah.
The case was brought before the
railroad commission by Messrs. Smith
& Johnson of Hawthorn complaining
of the discrimination in rates, and
after investigating the railroad COM
missioners called upon the two lines
above referred to to put in a uniform
rate of 80 cents per 100 pounds from
all three points to Savannah, Ca,
which the lines declined to do, after
which the commissioners made a for
NAL case before the interstate COM
merCe commission, and the case was
heard by the interstate commerce
commission some time in January,
after which it was taken under con-
sheraton
A dispatch from Washington, under
date of April Is, states that the inter
state commerce commission has rem

This matter was handled by the
commissioners through their special
counsel without cost to the complain
ants, and is another evidence that the
Florida railroad commission can be
and is of benefit to the people of
Florida If those who are being dis
eliminated against by the transporta-
ton companies will take advantage
OF the opportunity afforded them to
obtain redress through the railroad
commission.

From certain quarters there comes
q suggestion that no constitutional
convention should be called under the
present apportiOnment as its repre-
sentation would be based upon the
existing unjust establishment. But
there is nothing in this. As a matter
of fact there can be no Just appor-
tionment under the present constitu-
tional limitations and any change
made would necessarily be of a most
insignificant character. One of the
most important functions of a con-
vention would be a change in legisla-
tive representation. One cannot help
but think that these uFgings for delay
are put forth by those who prefer the
continuance of the present antequated
ineffective and ambiguous instrument
for reasons best known to themselves,
but which may be shrewdly guessed
at. There be those in the world who
delight in living under befuddled laws
they AFFORD such rare opportunities
for misinterpretation and application
fer the interests of the schemer. -

shark bill. The bill provides that
when man borroWs money on his sal

employer within three days after the
loan the assignment on his salary Civ

The measure also provides that loan
brokers must file with the county
clerk the name Of the person OF per-
sons under which the business is con-
Quoted Mr.. Joseph said that the pur-
pose of the bill is to do away with Sc
crecy in salary loans and to prevent q
loan broker from bounding a man
from one position to another. as the
broker cannot file the assignment
more than once.
He said that there are now 10000
people in New York city making pay
ment to loan brokers, and that this
number would be greatly reduced if
the transactions were carried on more

Guilty.

Alex. Pringle, plumber, pleaded
guilty to the charge of passing a
worthless check upon Ford Liquor Co.

for the sum of $47,54. Pringle was
employed by the John Sawbridge Co.,
and after the passing of the check
hid in the city for two days before
being captured by Deputy Sheriff
Kaufman in the lower part of town
Pringle is about thirty-two years of
age, and the cause of his downfall has
been the love of fast women and their
society. 1t is said that his relatives
have spent snug fortune in trying
to keep him out of the clutches of the
law. and finally disowned him for his
wild and riotous ways His parents
who are said to be wealthy know mo-

1t is stated that in order to spare them
the disgrace, he pleaded guilty and
faced a long sentence in prison. Prin-

MORE ARTESIAN WELLS

L. r. Perry for whom Messrs.

at Parker Heights. has been pleasant
~ surprised at the result attained.
me oriliers had previously drilled a
well for Mr.. Perry near his house on
the ranch which is below the level of
the Lombard & Horsley ditch. They
then started in to drill for him on
land which lies some $50 feet higher
than the ditch level. In this case the
water, which is ample to irrigate his
tract of 80 acres. was found 100 feet
higher than was discovered In the
hrst well sunk, showing that in that
section at least the water on the high

sunk well for Andrew Jacobson In
