GOOD ROADS RALLY
TO Be HELD SOON

One of the larger good road rallies
ever held in the state is being arrang-
ed for some point on the east coast at
some date early in November, or pos
sible the latter part of October. The
presence of Logan w. Page, chief Of
the department of the roads, United
States Department of Agriculture, and
one of the greatest good roads experts
Is to be present.
The movement is being pushed by the
good roads committee of the Jackson.
vile Board of Trade, and the good
roads organization of St. Augustine and
Miami One of the main purposes of
the rally is to get the Miami-to- Mon
treal highway, which will be an extern
ton of both Ids of the national high.
way, in shape for travel this winter.
There are several stretches of the pro.
posed route in the southern part of the
state which need attention to make
them passable and attractive to tour
lists. 1t is expected that steps to COM
plete these stretches will be taken.
The plan upon which the rally is be.
ing developed is to have delegations
leave Jacksonville and Miami stimuli
taneously to meet at some point about
central on the route, probably Rock
ledge. The run from each end of the
route will occupy about one day and
one day will be occupied with the rally,
making a tour of three days all told.
More than fifty cars will leave Jackson
Vile and will be Joined by others from
St. Augustine and other towns down
the coast. A large number will also
start up from Miami at the same time,
picking up delegations along the way
An elaborate spread will be prepared,
and the program will include speeches
in the morning and afternoon.
The subcommittee, of the good ROADS
committee of the Board of Trade which
has the preliminary arrangements IN
charge will make report within the
next week or ten days upon which the
first definite move will be made.
The subcommittee, which will confer
with good roads enthusiasts down the
coast is comp sed Of the following
Jacksonville men: Claude Nolan, Dr.
W. M. Stinson, and j. d. Boyd.

WILSON IS DEMANDED
AS NEXT PRESIDENT

Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, will not be looked upon by any
well-informed American as demagOgue
or an agtatOr, coming as he does, from
the college and the cloister, a man of
profound learning, armed with all the
knowledge there is in the science OF
government and economics. Neither
will anyone with grain of sense mis-
take the occasion which called him from
his rOstrum in great university into
the field of active politics--or "the dir
ty game,' as many had come to name
the methods of dishonest politicians of
the old parties-as a self-seeking desire
on his part for public notoriety or from
mercenary motives. Honorable fame
was his, as head of Princeton, and not
even the men who hate him beyond for.
giving have accused him of wanting to
get rich, either quick or slow. He was
above all that to begin with, and, there
fore, the people hailed him with delight
as providentially sent champion to
rescue them from traitorOus servants,
and he did it.
But no one can believe that Woodrow
Wilson had no higher aim than the
pushing aside of a nest of scurvy poll
ticians; almost any decent and ordinar-
lily able man could have done this much.
Wilson, the teacher, saw deeper than
this, and realizing where the affairs OF
his country were drifting, came the
time when he had to decide between his
love of ease and comfort and his duty
as citizen.
His most recent utterance reveals to
US how true a patriot he is, how fond
he is of his country and its greatness,
how he holds its free institutions and
its liberties as sacred above all other
considerations in the face of money
grubbing, self-seeking, corrupting, so,
called captains of industry and Big
Business. These are his words:
IF the present trend Of events by
which the money power of the country
is rapidly falling into the hands OF a
few is not changed. the economic health
of the nation is doomed"

people, but in government by the CO.

per sent Of its gross receipts in taxes
while the latter pays per cent of its
gross receipts. The comparison was
recalled by Daniel NJ. Link Of Auburn
one Of the new members of the board.
Mr. Link asked Mr.. Pickens II the
statement were true.
Mr.. Pickens evidently had anticipat-
ed the question. He said one division
of the Pennsylvania had paid 5 per
cent of it's gross earnings in taxes last
year. while another had paid aga per
cent of its gross income in taxes. Mr..
Pickens maintained that the ratio of
taxes to gross income has no relation
to valuation because of the different
rates of taxation that prevail in the
several counties of the state.
The ratio of gross and net earnings
of the several divisions was cited as
showing that while there was an in
crease in gross earnings last year.
there was a decrease in net earnings.
There were large decreases in freight
mileage and large increases in the
mileage of freight cars hauled Imply.
especially during the first three
months of 1911, according to Mr.. Pick
ems.
The decrease in net receipts DESPITE
the increase in gross receipts was ac-
counted for by Mr.. Pickens by the
new legislation requiring safety appli-
ances and increases in wages. The
Pennsylvania lines, he said, paid out
20 per cent of it's operating expenses
for wages last year.

asserted. He limited at the recent mis-

said there was depreciation of $13 a

road and that the road operated with
"a net deficit of approximately $446,-
