to 81 to tell us from what standpoint
of justice he reasons. We are told
that We have to pay this license to
protect us against hobos engaged in
our line of business and here is
case where local home people have
invested thousands of dollars to add
a great and creditable asset to the
city. We point with pride to 1t as
one of the best and handsomest
buildings of its kind in the State.
The stockholders put their money
into it; they pay State and county
and city tax on it: yes, and they pay
all of the license to the city, county
and State required by law for their
protection against hobo shows, and
when the hobo show comes along the
City Council gives it back four-iifths
of the tax required Of it by law. Who
Is protected? Did not the taxes paid
by this Chautauqua company build
streets. electric plant and furnish
water. etc, for the hobo show? Does
not every business in the city pay
its taxes and license as required By
law? From what standpoint can the
Council defend their. action in Civ
ing away the tax money that the law
requires shall be paid by an itincrant
and that. too, when In giving away
the peoples money they ruin home
industry which Is worth ten times
more in dollars and cents than the
little cheap l0c show they are SO
anxious to protect? Now, Mr.. Editor.
l want to ask the Council If it would
not be more sensible to exempt the
home industry from license and place
a heavy license on the itinerant
show that does not pay cent Of gen.
eral taxes to anyone. have not
written this with any Ill feeling to-
ward any member Of the Council, but
simply to convince them that in
maintaining the license tax ordi-
nance and then renting the license
on this tinerant show they have
placed themselves In very incon-
sistent position. which do not be-
lieve can be justified. Gentlemen,
my challenge to you to defend this
license tax still holds good and
boast the distinction Of being the
only man in the State Of Florida who
has ever held the entire law-making
public at bay on such a challenge.

CITY COUNCIL REPLIES
TO OPEN LETTER.

In yesterdays issue of the Tele-
gram an article appeared over the
signatures of Messrs. l.. NJ Futch
and II. D. Bassett, making certain
charges against the City Council re-
garding discrimination along the
line of licenses, etc, to shows.
In the first place we feel that ii is
our duty to enlighten the public's
eye upon these matters.
As a board of Councilmen we be-
lieve it our duty to represent the peO-
pie and not the Chautauqua associa-
ton. When the C. W. Park show
gave performances in the Auditorium
the prices charged were l5c to soc,
while under the tent they were 10
and Csc. One of the gentlemen
whose signature appears to the ar
ticle in question allowed the Park
show to operate under the same H.
cense and upon the same location as
the present Council Was this not as
much a detriment to the Heron the
alter then as It is to the Auditorium
at present?
Now as to the "free license" prop
osition to carnivals. We wish to
state that we did not grant free H.
cense to any carnival, but donated
that amount to the fire department,
a branch Of the city government, and
the amount Of money derived from
this source by this organization will
apply on the purchase Of an automo-
bile truck which will reduce fire in
surance rates. Who is benefited
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1913-03-22

The light and water plant received
$l96 in cash for services rendered
the carnival, which amounts to about
as much as light and water bills a,
the Auditorium will aggregate in a
period OF from four to five months.
The amount OF money expended by
the light and water plant in install
ing the light service in the Auditor
lum cost as much as will be the re-
ceipts for service in years time.
For the Park show we charge a
cense of $40 for one week and to the
Auditorium $3.50 for one year. We
feel that the open letter in yester-
days paper is reflection upon our
body and hasten to make the above
statement If the Auditorium is not
paying proposition to the stock
holders. we fail 10 see where our
body is responsible in the least for
the'"loss." We feel that We are here
to represent the whole people and
not any special class.
The license of $25 per day for
dramatic shows was intended and
provided per day for such shows as
the Rabbits Foot show and any
such dramatic show per day. But as
other City Councils have recognized
the c. w. Park shows as the very
best dramatic shows for the price
o. any dramatic show ever presented
IL Lakeland, and as a precedent had
been established to allow this par
ticular company to show in Lakeland
at s. per day. we felt it our duty
to carry out same and to grant them
their license as heretofore at IS per
day. Signed

President City Council.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
the occurrences of capillary bronchi-
tbs and pneumonia use cough medi-
cines that contain iodine, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives when you
have cough or cold. An expector-
ant like Chamberlain's Cough RENE
dy is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding
places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is
why pneumonia never results from a

The records in the office of the state
live stock sanitary commissioner
show that more cattle have been
tested for tuberculosis in the last five
months than were tested previous to
the beginning of that period since
the first law was enacted in 1905.
And not only that but the work has
been done at lessor cost to the
state. The reason is not far to find
Those who are interested in the situ-
alton declare that owners of, cattle
are being awakened to the deSirabi
ity of having their cattle tested to
the extent that they are asking for
such tests and are willing to pay for
them rather than run any risks in
having the tubercular infection spread
to unaffected cattle. Commissioner
s. S. Graybill predicts that the work
of the department will grow rapidly
in the next few years, the testing of
COWS for tuberculosis being under the
supervision of the department. The
last big job was the testing of a herd
of 3, 500 cows, the milk condensory at
ulN6uS. Nall. 11C ISSlI1& was zone
by two United States government
inspectors, two from the Kansas
State Agricultural college and two OF
the state department men. 1t was
under the supervision of the state
commissioner. The work was done at
the request of the of1icials of the con
densory.
