GREATEST NON-PART1SAN
ISSUE IN AMERICA

For people who believe In EN-
cheney in the administration OF our
laws to the end that we may have
less crime and crookedness In this
country and more obedience to law
that was q highly comforting dis
patch from Chicago q day or two
ago to the effect that the American
Judicature Society had opened head
quarters in that city and begun
work toward obtaining laws to Inn
prove the courts and their admins
tration Of justice.
This society Is a big thing. engi-
neered by big men and 1t is nation
wide in it's purposes. 1t has years
Of hard work before it and 1t must
work persistently upon every Leg
islature in the Union to achieve the
reform 1t has in view. Every intel
ligent man in the United States
knows that our courts are largely
ineffective and he wonders why,
seeing that he and all other citizens
are heavily taxed to provide the ma
chinery ard have experts to run It
as It should be. We are getting very
poor results for high-priced labor
and machinery, and 1t is to discover
the defects and provide q remedy
that these eminent jurists in Chi
cago have organized their society.
The secretary Of the society states
the purpose clearly a. follows:
"This matter Of court reform IL
now the leading bipartisan ques-
tion before the nation. 1t Is GER
tain that before long there will be
many attempts on the part of Leg
islatures to improve the conditions.
Up to this time scientific analysis
Of the defects and broad recon-
structive program have been almost
wholly lacking. It Is to fill this
need that the American Judicature
Society has been formed. We first
will make thorough study Of courts
and procedure upon a comparative
basis and then project acts looking
toward improvements. We aim to
present to the country model judi
cial establishments upon a scientific
basis and permit Of the administra-
ton Of Justice in the modern spirit
Of efficiency"

At last we have something that
looks defilste and interesting in the
matter of thu approaching senator
ial contest in this State. Editor Jor-
dan, of the Punta Gorda Herald, is
perhaps closer to former Governor
Gilchrist than any other man, and
II the latter had any news to give
out on the subject he would almost
certainly give it first to his inti-
mate friend and fellow townsman,
the editor Of the Herald. In the
last Issue Of that paper there is an
editorial paragraph about the mat
ter ending with the significant
statement that the editor believes
the ex-governor will be candidate.
Albert w. is always interesting, and
as senatorial candidate he will be
doubly so, perhaps picturesque. pos
sibly bizarrd.

In looking around for something
to tax to raise the needed revenues
the late Legislature bethought it.
self Of the moving picture shows.
the most popular form of amuse-
ment the American people have ever
known, and promptly put an occu-
patton tax upon them which is al
most prohibitive in many of the
smaller towns and cities. The Live
Oak Democrat denounces this tax
roundly and is probably correct
when 1t says:
Moving picture shows, where lit
tie children are permitted to go
without much cost to parents. will
likely go out of business, as there
are but few of them in the business
outside of the larger cities that can
stand tax of $500 per annum.
The one in Live Oak may continue
to run, but 1t will be under an in
creased admission fee, and after all
the public pays the freight"

before the shovel has a sufficient
amount uncovered to begin ship
ping. This material will be loaded
into cars with the shovel and
shipped to Haskell, Pauway, Prfdgen
and Lakeland, as the road advances
to these points. The traction en-
CINE will be used to convey 1t from
the cars to the roads, The board
has purchased six cars with the
traction engine having . capacity
Of three and one-half yards to the
