LABoRING MANS VIEWS
ON A CARNEGIE LIBRARY
]. w. CRARY.

Pensacola, Fla. June 20, 1911.
Editor Pensa cola Journal.
So much has been said about the
Carnegie library and Sunday baseball
that I won't feel offended II you put
this in the waste basket but would
like for you to publish a common la
boring mans view of it in your Vox
Populi. Here 1t is:
don't think there would be so much
opposition to a library If it was not for
the fact of additional taxation and the
source it originated from
Some will say that the extra taxa
ton Will not amount to much, not more
than 16 cents on a $1,000. That in
itself is not much, but when you con-
slider the high rate of taxation. and
all the Improvement work now going
on, such as sewer work with compul-
sorry plumbing connections, sidewalks
and paving, all draining the small
property owner to the breaking point.
is it surprising to see anything voted
down that includes extra taxation, es-
pecially when the majority of the la
boring classes cannot see where either
they or their children are able to reap
any benefit from such an expenditure.
Personally, I favor a library, al
though not a Carnegie library. but I
believe>we ought to start from the be-
ginning and get what we need most
first, which I consider is a charity hos
pital. We have one here, which IS kept
up by few charttably inclined citi-
zens. 1t is only a small place and for
want of funds its operations are linn
tied, but such as II is, 1t has done more
good to the really needy than any in
stitution in Pensa cola, and deserves
the support Of every man, woman and
child, not only in Pensacola, but in
Escambia county. A vote to increase
the taxation to create such an institu-
ton would not be turned down, not
even in precinct Is. not because, as
some of your correspondents would
have us believe that they are less in

WHERE TO BUILD A
BRIDGE ACROSS THE EscAMBIA

Editor Pensacola Journal
This question of bridging the river
and making highway connections be-
tween Escambia and Santa Rosa coun-
ties has been periodically raised and
discussed for several years. 1t has
been agitated from the point or means
to get lumber to the railroad from the
Santa Rosa side. Again by parties
who were interested in real estate on
the east side of the river and now
from the automobile point of view.
We are strong advocates of good
ciltties. With these two advantages
we are sure to receive all the rest, as
Solomon did when he chose wisdom
instead Of worldly goods.
There is no means of communication
between these two counties except by
the unsafe, rickety ferry boat mode,
and there are only a few places where
the swamps are high enough to get
through during high water. and as
Prof. Allen stated in one of his COM
munications. the facts are the lower
we go down the river the greater this
low swamp question must be met"
Again, the bulk of the farming lands
lie in the northern part of both coun-
ties, and as far as an automobile road
is concerned, If it is to be a public
road and bridge, paid for by the tax
payers, it should be placed at such a
point so as to benefit the greatest
number.
We do not debar the automobiles the
right to run on our roads, but at the
rate of speed and the reckless way in
which some run their machines these
should be handled and made to know
that their rights are no more than the
team or pedestrian upon our highways.
(And this is only said by the way of
parenthesis regarding the drivers of
the modern horseless vehiCle).
The bridge should be built and the
less talk, fish frying and automobile
picnics finding a place to cross the
river, the sooner we can get a cross
ing. The commissioners of each coun-
ty are the servants of the people before
election, any way, and it is their duty
to weigh the wishes and advantages
of the people before they plunge head
long into any matter. then at last call
upon the people to come to their
rescue.
In many instances there is too much
individuality in the management of our
public offices, and as Abe Reuf, ex-boss
of San Francisco, put 1t, What are
you going to co about II ?" And the
people get busy.
The only practical way to select the
site for the first bridge is for each
county to select three old citizens from
each side Of the river, who are we'll ac-
quainted with the swamp. river and

Catching Them
Both Ways.

Most cities and communities are so
situated that either the winter or the
: summer months bring to them many
visitors, while during the "off season"
; the city may be practically dead. This
i state Of affairs evens matters up and
as a rule they all fare alike, one city
! contributing to another during the win
( ter and drawing from it in the sum-
mer.
Pensacola, however, is so located
that it may be made famous summer
rsort, as it is already a winter resort.
Pensacola will get the winter tourists
without special effort from her people
/ for the climatic conditions are known
! in the north and hundreds of new win
I ter visitors will come every year with
out special solicitation.
This being assured, it behooves the
+ Pensacola people to unite in an effort
/ to make it a summer resort that 1t
should be. Usually the temperature
1 here is about ten degrees cooler than
in any of the southern cities and towns
and the majority of the people of Ala
bama and Georgia and West Florida
cannot afford to make trips to the
mountain resorts or to the Canadian
summer Fairgrounds, but they can af-
Sford to make a weekend trip to Pen
Asac cola, or could come to spend week.
Pensacola is an ideal place in which
20 spend a few days. We Pensacola
people do not realize the many places
Of interest around here that the visitors
ere eager to see. The surf bathing and
the bathing in the bayou is unsur
passed. The forts, the navy yard, the
bettleships and the countless number
Of other places of interest appeal to the
residents from the inland cities and the
residents of the rural districts.
These are the people that will come
70 Pensacola if we will go after them.
OF course railroad rates will have to be
reduced before it can be made a thor
ough success, but the rates can be Sc
cured if enough pressure is brought to
bear at the right place. Savannah is a
great summer resort city and thou
sands go there to spend the weekend,
but the waters of the Atlantic at that
ROllIA lOOh ilhC ~ 4iloN AASAI "AASAA ~OAAA
pared with the crystal waters around
the Deep Water City.
No city in the south can offer as
much to the summer visitor as can
, Pensacola. If Savannah, with it's few
claims for visitors. can get them by
the thousands, Pensacola can do it also
but it will take some effort, for moth
ing comes unlimited.
Excursions should be run from Bir-
mingham and Montgomery and way
points from the north and from as far
east as Blakely, Ga, or Columbia,
Ala, ard way points to Pensacola.
If week end rates could be secured
over these roads for one fare plus %
or so cents, good from Saturday morn
ing until Monday night, thousands
would come to Pensacola to spend the
week END. 1t would benefit Pensacola
beyond estimation and these people
would have a nice place to spend few
tdays in.
Make PensaC cola a summer resort for
the people of the adjoining states and
the business of the city will double.
we have the natural advantages and If
we sleep over our rights we will have
no one to blame except ourselves.

OPPOSES THE LIBRARY ON
ACCOUNT OF TAXATION

Editor Pensacola Journal.
There are some estimable gentlemen
here who talk very glibly about the
Carnegie library and the extra taxa
ton, while from a personal and praC-
tical standpoint they know nothing
about 1t because they pay no taxes and
DO not feel the burden. Let me Illus
trate. I have in charge two houses
belonging to an orphan girl. Now this
child needs clothing board, etc. just
as any other child does. but there is a
mortgage on the property, which means
interest to be paid, repairs, insurance
sidewalks. sewers, and besides claims
that were against the property. Also
the heavy taxes. Now the rents will
not meet the expenses, and there is
nothing for the child. In a few days
we are to vote bonds or no bonds
which means more taxes on this al
ready overloaded property. This rep
resents many others, and yet these
gentlemen say tax IL more.
Again. presume these gentlemen
are drawing a salary of 100000 per
year. If you were to ask them they
would say II is a bare living, while
another man who is equally as good
as they has to live on $4,000 salary.
Out Of that he pays house rent, SIS
per month, $4,000 per year. They ex-
pect him to contribute at least $4,000
to the various causes they represent,
which leaves him $4,000 out Of which
he must pay his heavy taxes and sup
port his family, yet they say put on
the tax, he will not feel It (they will
not feel it).
Now submit that II they are going
to have so much to say about taxation
and insist on others being taxed to
death, that we have an act passed at
the next legislature taxing them with
the rest and when they have to pay
41-2 or per cent of their salaries,
they will be among the very first to
oppose extra taxation.
