MR.. MILTON'S PLAN.

It is hardly probable that Mr.. Mil
toms rather ambitious gubernatorial
program with reference to the solu-
tion Of the convict system problem in
Florida. will attract much more than
passing interest
It will be remembered that Mr..
Milton proposes to create State
farm il the Everglades and employ
the cOnvicts in the raising Of sugar
cane. He estimates that the State
would, the first year. clear enough
from the operation Of the farm to
pay All e the expenses Of planting
and equipment, and that thereafter
the State would realize from the la
bors Of her convicts the very com
Portable sum Of three-Quarters Of 4
million every year,
He bases his figures on the returns
said to be made BY a similar convict
farm in Louisiana.
It Is just possible that in the years
to come the state will, in measure,
see the fulfllment Of MT. Millions
dream.
But at the present time there is
very little to base hope that the
project can be worked out in the way
of plans.
The raising Of sugar cane in Louis
lana is no longer an experiment.
Years Of study and practical opera
ton have settled that problem there.
But in Florida every experiment has
yet to be made. It is not known yet
whether the soil Of the Everglades
will produce sugar cane Of high sac
charine content. year after year. It
Is not known what lands are adapted
to the purpose, nor whether the
lands SO adapted are SO located as to
be drainable.
There are a thousand and one prac-
tical questions that will arise and
which will have to be settled before
the State will be warranted IN going
to the enormous expense Of creating
the proposed sugar farm. and many
years must elapse before the experl-
ment could be entered upon in good
earnest If eventually found practi-
cable.
As political plank at this stage
IF the game, Mr.. Milton's plan seems,
to say the least, decade or two pre-
mature. Miami Herald.

L. S. MORROW
Candidate For
Clerk Of tic Circuit Court

To the Voters and Taxpayers Of Polk
| County:
Having heard several versions Of
my position in regard to the fee sys-
tenn in paying county officials, I de-
side to state my position clearly and
positively
There has been considerable effort
made BY members Of the Legislature
to reduce the compensation Of the
county officials. either by reducing
the fees or putting them on salary
basis.
But it has been impossible to se-
cure legislative action, mainly be-
cause, accurate data could not be OBJ
tanned as to the compensation re-
ceived through fees by the various
Office holders who would be affected
by the reduction.
/ have been informed that in this
county no record has been kept in
the clerks Office Of the fees received
and this would be true, ! suppose, In
regard to other offices in this and
other counties.
That the fees in the clerks ONCE
make an unreasonably large remu-
neration there is no doubt.
Now, what | propose to do, if elect
ed as your circuit clerk, is to keep
on accurate account Of every dollar
received in fees, showing from what
source. what class Of work, the va
rious amounts are received, and the
total per annum. viii go beofre
the proper committees Of the Legis-
lature with this itemized statement
showing just how much / am receiv-
ing from the people and ask the Leg
lslature to reduce it to a reasonable
salary. This would give the friends
Of reduction something definite on
which to work instead Of, as at pres
ent, working in the dark, and would,
! believe, be promptly successful III
causing the Legislature to fix q reas-
enable salary for all county officials.
One man in office, asking for re-
duction in compensation. can do more
than a thousand who are on the out
side, and guessing in the dark.
II elected. promise To use my best
efforts to secure the necessary reduc-
tiOn. and firmly believe / can ac-
complish 1t before my time is half
out.
In an adjoining county, one on
cial has been turning back 10 the
county all over a Axed amount. That
is all right. but 1t Affects only one
Office. and one man IN that once,
and does not affect his successors.
NY plan would afiect not only myself
but my SUCCESSORS and also probably
such other Offices as need q reduce
tion.
know that In presenting this
proposition am inviting the bitter
opposition Of certain class Of POI
litical influence.
The tight will be not against the
proposition but against me person
ally to keep me from getting In a
position to carry It through to sue
cess. Respectfully.

LONDON, Dec 1G.-The prelminaries
Of the peace conference were completed
today and apparently the great diff
Guilty regarding the signing of the armis-
tice has been surmounted Everything
is ready for the actual negotiations to-
morrow
SO wide is the divergence between the
Balkan allies and Turkey that there is
little prospect for an early termination.
1t is reported tonight that the Ser
Wan ministers decided through defer
ence to Russian and French advice to
yield the port of Durazzo on the Adri-
attic. The report is not confirmed. but
there are indications of relaXatiOns of
the Servian and Austrian differences.
The first engagement between the
Turkish and Greek fleets occurred today
but without serious damage to either.
While Turkey proposes in its program
to give the allies fOur-fitfhS of the ter
ritory in Europe, which few weeks ago
belonged to the Ottomans, still there is
wide difference between demands Of
the Allies and what Turkey will con
cede
Because Of this difference. the mcd-
alton idea has been advanced.
The decgates declared that Russia or
Austria could not act as mediator be
cause Of interest in settlement nor could
Germany because of Austrian ties, nor
Italy on account of the recent war with
Turkey.
England and France would not be ac-
ceptable to Germany and Austria. and
there remained only the United States
as the only great power absolutely i'm
partial.
