TELLS OF BIG QUESTIONS
OF THE CONFERENCE.
Representative Social Workers Dis
cuss Many Matters of Great
Importance.

observation-disclosures c. Fagg, the
state superintendent of the Childrens
Home Society of Florida, who has re-
turned from the state conference or
Charities and Connections, held at
Tampa, stated that the matter OF
school for feeble-minded and delin-
quent children, compulsory education.
the convict lease system and the mat
ter of improving the reform school at
Marietta, were among the most i'm
portant matters taken UP at this meet
ing of social workers.
Mr.. Fagg stated that the conference
is Just what the name implies. The
meetings are for the purpose OF plan
ming ways for the betterment of those
who come within the reach of chart
table or social organizations, or work.
ers. The conference does not pass res
olutions or take action directly re-
garding the improvements that will be
undertaken. but each member tries to
carry out the plans that have been
discussed in his own section of the
state.
The reform school at Merietta was
thoroughly discussed. At the next
meeting of the state legislature an
effort will no doubt be made to change
this institution into an industrial
school and provide separate buildings
for boys and girls. 1t Is the plan to
provide a place where boys will be-
sent for education, not punishment.
The boy would be taught to farm. to
be a carpenter, wood worker, black
smith and other manly vacations,
while the girls would be taught stem,
ography, bookkeeping. domestic sci
ence, sewing and other useful arts. /
That this state needs school for
cripple, feeble-minded, epileptic and
delinquent children was shown at the
meeting of this charitable body. A
plan is on foot to work for the provi-
sion of an Institution in which to care
for feebleminded adults also. 1t is
said that this matter is of great inn
portance to any state, as feeble-mind-
edness, in coming generations, would
also be fully discussed.

Conclusion.
1t has been my pleasure and good
fortune, ladies and gentlemen, to
serve during the last four years as
Attorney General in the administra-
ton of the able, clean, honorable and
patriotic Governor who is today retir-
ing from office. Governor Gilchrist,
your able conduct OF the office of Gov
ernor during the Quadrennium ending
today reflects great credit both upon
you and upon the State of Florida. I
feel fortunate in having been in posi-
ton to observe your many manifesto
tons of manliness and moral courage.
You retire, Sir, with the respect and
best wishes of the people of your
State, and l join with my fellow-citi-
zens in wishing you a long life full
of happiness and prosperity.
In conclusion. my friends. permit
me to say that I am deeply grateful
for both the past and the present OPP
portunities afforded me to engage in
the public service. 1t has offered a
field of usefulness which | hope has
borne some fruit. While l have re-
manned poor in purse, l have rejoiced
at each chance to be of benefit to the
good people who have hOnored me.
Conscious of my own limitations and
of my aptness to err in judgment,
as all other mortals err, still have
been filled with the earnest desire to
give to the good people of my State
the most enlightened and capable SER
vice within my power-and. relying
upon Divine guidance of Him who
rules over the Nations, upon the
moral support of the men and women
of Florida, and upon the promptings
of virtue instilled into me in youth
by a sainted mother and devoted ia
Their and daily strengthened by the
counsel and love of wife than whom
no man ever had more helpful, pro-
coed now, after expressing my warm
thanks for your presence here and for
all that has been done to make this
occasion such delightful one, with a
strong realization of duty and respon-
sibility, to the discharge of the high
trust which has been accorded to me.

While on his way to st. Petersburg
from Jacksonville, Moses Casey Of
Dowagiac, Mich, fell from the local
passenger train near Center Hill. He
was missed in short time after he
fell from the train, although no one
saw him fall, and searching party
was sent out from Center Hill. Casey
was found, unhurt, walking toward ST
Petersburg, as unconcerned about his
accident as though falling from a
moving train was no unusual event
He is 70 years old, but is very active.

Reclamation of Everglades.

Practically every citizen of our
State who is familiar with the Florida
Everglades realizes that it is one of
the States most valuable assets. Under
more or less financial embarrassment,
a very marked progress has been
made towards the reclamation of this
territory within the past six years,
and your officials are now pushing
that undertaking as rapidly as the
finances available will permit. | have
great faith in this enormous enter
prise and will with my co-laborers do
everything possible to accomplish the
drainage and reclamation of this vast
area of rich and fertile land.
l believe one of the needs in con-
nection with the project is the es-
Enlistment of one or two experiment
tai farms.
Within a short time we should en-
deavor to have the Federal govern
ment assume the maintenance and
care of certain of the drainage ca,
nails for water transportation across
the state.

There has been considerable specu'
lation of late over the cause of the
widespread decay of citrus fruits,
which has resulted in considerable
loss to the growers and shippers the
last few weeks of the present sea-
son. The explanation Of the decay
came from MI A. B. johnson of Or
lando. It Is Mr.. Johnsons theory
that the fruit is pulled before the
rain which has been taken into the
fruit IN the form of sap through the
stem, has had chance to become
neutralized; that is to say. to under
go proper chemical changes.

State Convict System.

The time is, in my opinion, ripe
for a change in our plan of handling
the State convicts With the great
demand for labor upon our roads and
in road building, we can utilize the
convict labor to an advantage upon
the roads, and l think that the nee
essary steps should be taken provid-
ing upon the expiration of the pres
ent convict lease system in such rea-
sonable insta1lments as may be ad-
visable to safeguard the States
finances in making the change from
the present plan of hiring them out
to placing them on the roads.

Good Roads.

In my study of public problems for
the past ten years, l have given more
or less thought to the subject of good
roads and the ACCESSIBILITY of govern
mental activity along this line From
my interest in this subject and it's
study, l am firmly convinced that a
thorough system of good roads in each
county in Florida will add more to
the material advancement of our va
ried resources, the upbuilding of our
State, the property enhancement and
to the comfort and conveniences of
cur rural citizens and to the people
generally of the State than any other
one step that can be taken.

State Right of Appeal.

Upon Constitutional questions,
think the State should have the right
of appeal, SO that the points involved
may be passed upon by the Supreme
court and not finally settled by the
lower coutrs, as under our present
system. A law SO providing should
be enacted.

Care of Juvenile Offenders.

1 favor such changes in our laws
applicable to juvenile offenders as
may be necessary for the proper care
and maintenance and training Of this
class of offenders. We should make
real Reform School of our present

Labor Commissioner.

One of the greatest factors in our
States growth and development is the
laboring interests. l believe it would
be of benefit to the State to have
Labor Commissioner to compile labor
statistics, to aid in the enforcement
of the child labor law and otherwise
promote the labor interests.

Corporation Laws.

Our laws governing the formation
of corporations for profit are too lax,
and should be amended as to give
better protection to the public against
those who take advantage of the weak
ness of the law to carry on wildcat
schemes

Interest on Public Funds.

At present, interest is required on
Static funds on deposit, the State re-
ceiving two per cent. on daily bal
ances. The law should also require
banks to pay interest on deposits of
county funds. 1t should also provide
for the State and counties receiving
bids from the banks of the State for
the deposit of the funds. This pol
icy would, in my opinion, produce
much more interest on State funds
and will result in the counties deriv'
ing an income of from fifty to seven
ty-fve thousand dollars annually from
a source now producing no revenue

Railroad Commission.

The Railroad Commission has prov
en- of value to the State and should
be clothed with such further power as
is required to make more efficient it's
work in requiring of common carriers
good service and reasonable passen-
ger, freight and express rates.

with the aid of the Federal govern
ment, should inaugurate, under the
direction of the State Board of Health,
movement in this behalf.

Reform of Court Procedure.

Court procedure should be simpli-
fed and provision made for more
speedy trial in both civil and crimi-
nal cases. The time allowed for per-
fecting appeals should be shortened
and other measures enacted to pro-
tect the citizen tn his rights and Sc
cure justice without unreasonable de-
lay or excessive cost.

Tax Equalization.

Possibly no subject Is more diff.
cult of solution than the tax prob
lem. We should have the tax bur.
den bear equally upon all There
should be absolutely no favoritism
extended, either by the tax laws or
by the assessing officers. A long step
towards equalizing of taxes could, in
my opinion. be accomplished by
changing our system so as to pro-
vide for the discontinuance of the
levy of an ad valorem State tax. and
have the State government supported
exclusively by the license and fran
chise taxes. This would remove the
necessity of State uniformity in as
sessments, leaving uniformity neces-
sary only in thee ounties.
