DOWN IN THE EVERGLADES

The extension of the Florida East
Coast Railway from Maytown to Lake
Okeechobee. for which contract has
been awarded to the Wright and Wad
ley Company, will, it appears, open III
to settlement and cultivation some OF
the most valuable farming and fruit
growing lands of Florida. The orange
crop from the Geneva district amounts
now, it is said, to $4,000 boxes, and ev
erything which it is possible to grow
in the state may be grown in that re
gion. There are also valuable timber
lands which will yield, it is stated

BY RAIL TO KEY WEST

Next winter, it is expected, passen-
gers will be able to board cars in
Chicago, Boston, New York or Phila-
delphia and journey without a change
to Havana. The fruition of this pro
ject-as daring as it may be success
ful-dOubtless would bring about an
enormous increase in American trade
with Cuba and assist wonderfully in
the industrial growth of southern
Florida. 1t was only last month that
plans for the building of transpenin-
sular railroads in southern Flor
ida was exploited. These in
Guided the construction of line from
Tampa to Miami, where the Florida
East Coast railroad touches on its
way to Knights Key! and at the
same time an electric railroad was
projected to run from Fort Myers to
Punta Rassa and across from Fort My
ers south of Lake OkeechObee through
the everglades to Palm Beach. All
these lines would help to attract more
people into their territory.
There is nothing visionary about
the Flagler plans. Ample testimony
has been given in the past by this
venerable builder that he usually
accomplishes what he sets out to do.
Traffic over the Florida East Coast
railway has increased heavily in the
last few years, owing partly to the
rush of immigration into southern
tised all over the country by real
estate dealers and large parcels have
changed hands. The fertile region
around Lake Okeechobee and to the
southwest is being opened up gradual
ly, and villages are growing there.
Factories will be erected soon, per-
haps, and still more business created
for railway lines that may pass that
way. BY completing it's line to Key
West, the Florida East Coast railway
prepares for the increase in traffic
that may be expected when shouthern
Florida is more thickly settled.
Probably the approach of the time
when the Panama canal will be open
ed furnishes the more direct stimulus
for the building of this line to Key
West. The location of that port gives
it some advantages over New Orleans,
which lies hundreds of miles from the
Atlantic entrance to the gulf of Mex
leo. If adequate facilities can be
provided for moving freight, Florida
seems destined to share in the COM
merce now passing through New Or
leans. AS a distributing point for
goods shipped through the canal or to
and from Cuba, the port of Key West
seems likely to become the most
prominent factor in southern Florida's
development, and an important link
between the United States and it's

SOCIALISTS HERE
GREATLY AROUSED
New Indiana Constitution Is
Regarded an Imposition
on the Voters.

Local Socialists are stirred up over
the proposed amendments TO the Ind
lana constitution, adopted by the legis-
lature and particularly in regard to
making a tax receipt for poll tax the
basis of suffrage. Frank French, of
the Richmond branch of the organiZa-
ton, in speaking for himself and the
society in general makes the follow
ing criticism to the constitutional
amendments:
ITO some of US it seems unjust to
tax any propertyless person. He has
but one thing to offer for chance to
live and that is mis- labor power or in
other words. himself. And as there
are always more men than jobs liv
ing is all his wage will bring him. His
wage at times exceeds his immediate
needs. but when sickness OYertakes
him or periods of enforced idleneSs,
due to hard times or labor troubles
come his way. his savings are soon
gone and ne becomes an object of
charity.
ITO levy a tax on this disinherited
wage dependent that he must pay or
lose his right to vote Socialists think
unfair inasmuch as it places a burden
on those who are already overbur
dened. And if a poor, struggling work
inSman might place the question of
bread and butter before patriOtiSm
which The News so much deplorcs. he
certainly has an extenuating circum-
stance in "necessity's sharp pinch,
thanks to system that exploits him
from the cradle to the grave.
ITO make a tax receipt the basis of
the suffrage would aid in his eXploita-
ton and ! think to embody such a
principle in our organic law would be
unwise. unjust and undemocratic."
