Will J. Chambers, SO well and faV-

self heard from in Tampa. Mr.. Cham
bers Is now a member of the city coun-
Gil, and as will be seen by the follow
ing extract from the Tribune, hasn't
lost his habit of standing up for what
he believes to be right:
"Mr. Chambers took issue with Mr..
Regener. He said that all members of
the council had known of the proposed
amendments, and were thoroughly ia
miliar with them, and had thoroughly
thrashed out the possibilities of hold
ing an election at this time to provide
for a ratification of the proposed
amendments. Mr.. Regener charged that
Mr.. Chambers did not represent the
people, but that he represented a very
small clique of corporation lawyers
and professional politicians He said
Mr.. Chambers had told him that he
was opposed to the charter amend
ments, but that his people wanted it
and that he was going to vote for it.
Mr.. Chambers tossed off his parliament
tary robes for the moment and made a
close cut to the short and ugly word
He declared that Mr. Regener stated
what he knew to be a falsehood. and
that the record of his vote would show
that he was the only member of the
council who had voted for a submis-
sion of the charter amendments to a
vote of the people. This was verified
by Clerk Johnson"

WHAT Do YOU THINK OF THIS:
(Dunnellon Advocated


Editor Advocate: I see by the Times
Union that the Senate committee on
judiciary will report favorably a bill to
increase the judicial circuits of the
state from eight to fourteen, while a
minority will contend for only. eleven
Let us hope that there will be no in
crease at all. l have seen no argument
that will Justify it, and even>now with
the circuits as large they are, I I'M
derstand some of the Judges find or at
least take time to spend a summer va
cation in the mountains, and l have
heard of no circuit judge whose health
has been impaired by overwork.
/ notice that there are four candi-
dates for the judgeship in one of the
circuits, and the office does not go
begging in any of them With the rate
OF taxation at the highest point in the
history of the state, beyond that levied
by the carpet bag government. it does
look like our legislators would try to
do something to reduce taxation, in
stead of creating new Offices which
call for more taxes. What does the
state bar association care about the
average or humble taxpayer? When it
made the demand that the judicial cir
cults of the state be nearly doubled
it was looking out for the interest OF
lawyers. That is the purpose of their
organization. IT means twelve more of
fees to be filed exclusively by law
yers.
l. think every Legislature during the
past ten years has been disappointing
and the people have come to look upon
the assembling of the Legislature with
dread and apprehension. Let us hope
that the one now in session will be ar
exception to the rule. and instead OF
adding to the burdens of a taX-ridder
people, win do something to reduce tht
rate of taxation. w w. Clyatt.
