D STATE PRESS ON THE
CUSTOMS SERVICE PLAN
) 800 100000 ,

If Senator Fletcher is working to
have the unjust customs district reg
ulatton repealed, as stated by the
Times Union, why did he congratulate
the Jacksonville Board OF Trade, as
set forth in the Times-U nion, upon the
advantage the change would give
Jacksonville Panama City Pilot
Tampa is kicking and rightly at
being relegated to second place when
her customs receipts exceed those of
Jacksonville. But we believe that this
step was contemplated by congress
last year and placed into effect now
Some remedial steps win be necessary
to regain that position that Justly be-
longs to Tampa---Mulberry Herald. =
One of the last acts of the outgoing
administration was to consolidate GUS
toms districts throughout the country.
One Of the results Of this was to make
a district of all east and south Florida
ports with headquarters In Jackson
vile AS Tampa and Key West both
have much larger customs receipts
than Jacksonville, the unfairness Of
this arrangement is evident, and the
Tampa papers are naturally quite
angry about it.-Ocala Star.
1t looks TO us like the move to put
all the ports OF a large section under
one collector was a shrewd move by
the Taft administration to cut off some
several hundreds of poIftica! appoint
ments from the hands of the demo-
cratic admins tration. = Jacks ohville
Metropolis.
Tampa and Pensacola have just
kick at being deprived of their posi-
tons considering the immense volume
of business that passes through their
ports Metropolis.
The board of trade of Tampa has
petitioned the city council of Tampa,
the board of county commissioners
and all civic bodies in that city, as
well as the state press and the COM
mercia1 bodies of the state of Florida,
to use their influence, protesting
against the reorganization plan of the
customs service of the district of Flor
ida, and for the resembling or modifi-
cation of the act to become effective
July 1, of this year, which makes Jack
scnville district headquarters.
1t is understood that this action was
taken for the purpose of reducing the
annual operating expenses of the Gus
toms service, for in the reorganization
plan as submitted, Jacksonville be-
comes district headquarters for the
customs service of the district of Flor
ida, (the district outside the state
being the north bank of the st. MaTy's
river, and the city of st. Marys, Ga-),
and Tampa, (including Port Tampa),
Key West, Punta. ,Gorda, Boca Grande,
Miami, Jacksonville, Pensacola, st. An
drews, ST. Augustine Fernandina, Gin
Guiding st. Marys, Ga), Cedar Keys,
Port Ing1is- Apalachicola and Cara
belle, shall be ports Of entry.
Just why Jacksonville was chosen
as district headquarters can not be de-
termined, as IT is claimed the customs
receipts of Tampa are seventy three
times greater than those OF Jackson
vile, and nobody blames Tampa for
being indignant, not even Jacksonville.
The people and press of that city
know that while they are benef1ciaries,
an injustice has been done Tampa and
are as anxious to have the wrong
righted as nybody.-Suwannee Dem
crat Olive OalO.

CROP CONDITIONS
NOW DEPENDS
upon WEATHER
HOT WEATHER IS WANTED
Over Cotton Belt to Boost
The Crop

New Orleans, La, May 19.-Weather
conditions will continue to be the main
influence in the cotton market this
week. although developments in the
July position may be strong enough tc
attract some attention, and perhaps,
affect the whole list in the future MAJ
ket. Of late, however it has been ev>
ident that the trading public is less
inclined to trade in the old crop posi-
tions than is usually the case at this
time of the year and consequently, the
July option has lost much of its inn
portance.
Reports from the cotton region al
the end of last week indicated that
rain is still needed in many important
sections of the eastern belt, but that
elsewhere ample moisture for the time
being has fallen.
Nearly everywhere in the belt warm
weather will be welcome.
The great question of the near fu-
ture is in regard to getting the crop
up to a stand Planting was early en-
ough, but much seed has failed to ger
inmate, either because of low tempera-
lures or of lack of moisture in the
soil, or because of both reasons. WARM
weather with very little rain in the
western and central belts and warn
weather with good rains in the east
ern belt are the conditions most desir-
ed this week.
If they materialize the market may
have a tendency to work lower espec.
tally as it is claimed by many broker;
and traders that good part of the
short interest has covered, leaving the
market weaker technically than it has
I been for some time past.
