EVERGLADES and State conViets.
The News is not the hired organ Of
any of the gentlemen competing for
the high honor of being governor OF
Florida.
1t so happens that we have not even
a speaking acquaintance with Candi-
date w. H. Milton.
We know the three others-Park
TrammelI. John w. Watson and
Cromwell Gibbons. We do not claim
an intimate acquaintanceship with
them, but we know them and know
of them.
We would urge our friends TO be
slow in condemnation Of the Milton
plan to work the state convicts on a
sugar plantation in the Everglades.
In spite of seeming difficulties, the
suggestion may be feasible. Mr.. Mil
tor points to what is being done along
this line in Louisiana There the con-
victs make sugar on a state plantation
and thus become a source of revenue.
We want to see the convict lease
system abolished. 1t is a disgrace to
the state and age. 1t is wrong In
principle to farm out a governmental
function to human greed.
If these "convicts" can be worked
in making sugar on a state plantation
at a profit, we can, with the money
they earn, build good roads with ex-
pert hired labor.
Remember how Broward was ridi-
culed? Now his plan to drain the
Everglades has become the estab-
lished policy of the state government.
The great sugar kings are investing
in Everglade lands.
Is Milton a dreamer or seer? His
competitors should take care and study
the Milton plan.-Arcadia News.
Coed Solution.
The attention Of our readers Is d.
rected to the message of Hon. w. H.
Milton, candidate for governor. which
appears elsewhere in this issue. Read
carefully his solution of the good
roads, convict and taxation question.
Personally, the editor favors placing
the convicts on the roads, but read for
yourself, and form your conclusions
Madison Enterprise Record.
Millions Messaae-State conviots.
The Courier has had very little to
say about the various candidates for
governor of Florida. When there is
no great issue involved, or no great
principle at stake, as is at present
the case, we do not feel called upon
to espouse the cause Of any partic-
ular politician. Former Senator Mil
ton, who so far as actual ability goes
is probably the strongest man now
running for governor, has an able
| article elsewhere in this issue which
he is publishing as Millions Message
to the People of Florida" This arti-
Gle is well prepared, and while Mr.
Millions plans therein expressed dc
not appear to be entirely practical
to the editor of this paper, his mes
sage is due the careful consideration
of every thinking voter.
There is much discussion of, and
seemingly general sentiment for the
abolishing Of the convict lease system
of the state, all of the gubernatorial
candidates taking this stand. Messrs
Trammel, Watson and Gibbons are
in favor Of working the convicts or
the roads, but while good roads are

LAFKY SAYS
OWNERS DO
NOT AGREE

Confronted with the refusal of Al
derman Lafky, chairman of the
street committee, to further confer
with property owners relative to the
improvement Of South Fourteenth
street, Mayor Lachmund found 1t
necessary last evening to appoint a
special committee, naming as its
members, Alderman White, Constable
and Rigdon, and the committee will
hold a meeting with the property
owners and paving contractors at

street improved with concrete, say
ing that most of the property own

cidentally he took occasion to state
that the committee had experienced
vast amount of trouble with rela.
ton to prevailing upon the property
owners to decide upon a pavement.
During negotiations some would
withdraw from petitions asking for
concrete and attach their names to
petitions asking for bitulithic, and
wise versa, he asserted. In addition
others, he claimed, would sell the
property involved, the controversy at
one time growing so warm that a
piece Of property exchanged hands
on the spot, and the purchaser would
desire a different kind of pavement
from that petitioned for by the seller
After checking up the names Of the
petition, he was Of the opinion thai
most Of the property owners desired
concrete, and recommended 1t.
