TIE CITRUS TARIFF.
Senator Bryan Of Florida Explains
His Position.

! Washington, d. c., April 10, 1913.
Editor Evening Telegram:
The orange growers of the United
States are contending on the one
! hand that a rate of 80 cents box
is necessary for the preservation or
! protection of the industry, and the
ways and means committee, on the
other hand, for the reduction OF the
rate to 5 cents box.
A majority of the committee Is
pledged to a revenue rate which con-
templates the importation of foreign
oranges, for, in no other way can
revenue be raised on oranges than
by a tax on orange importations.
If the Democrats in Congress are
true to their platform and pledges it
is inevitable that rate will be
established inviting importations OF
foreign oranges, even though there
may be none, just as there will be
rates on other articles of foreign pro-
duction now barred by the Republic

ocrats are not true to their pledges
and platform the protective wall
would be maintained, the people will
be unrelieved of the burdens under
which they have labored, and the
party will be judged unworthy OF
trust and it's destiny determined.
Oranges are a luxury and properly
come under a higher rate than nee
essities. / shall support a luxury
rate but not one that is protective. !!

Will the orange industry be In

be determined, not upon an argu-
ment based on apprehension and
fear, but by the facts alone.
From the statistical departments
I have gathered some facts which |

oranges in 1912 is estimated as fol-

Thanks Members of the Leg

Senatorial Contest.

Chief Justice Ailshie has issu-
ed the following sta ement to the
members Of the state upon the
recent senatorial fight:
ITO the senators and represen
tatives of the twelfth legislative
assembly and the people of the
state at large.
"Now that the senatorial con
test is over, | feel that it may moi
be inappropriate for me to say a
word to my friends and The peo-
pie generally. The vote l have
received affords me much graft
fication, and the fact that / was
not successful in no way lessons
my sense of appreciation of the
loyalty with which | was sup
ported. Such support could come
to me out of no cause except a
sincere wish to accomplish my
election. l am deeply sensible of
the honor paid me by my friends
from all sections of the state. The
memory of their unselfish indus
try in the promotion of my can
didacy without hope or expecta-
ton of reward other than the re-
aliZation of their desire for my
election, shall always afford me
pleasure. To their distinct credit
all suggestion of achieving my
election through combinations at
fecting legislation or local irter-
ests here or there have at all times
been emphatically discountenanc-
ed by those espousing my cause.
The fact that a fair and clean cam
paign has been conducted in my
behalf gives me a sense of salts
faction incompatible to any ella
ton one might feel through vie
tory attained in any other manner.
81 shall go about my work in
the hope that | may still be able
to help in the accomplishment of
some of the many things, political
and otherwise for which the peo-
pie are striving and in some mea-
sure contribute my quota of effort
and labor for the advancement of
our state"
