TRADING AT HOME

The Telegram is letting "thc other
side" have its say on the trade at
home" proposition. This paper, in
season and out of season, has aivo-
Gated the principle of buying every
article from home dealers that could
possibly be had from them. At the
same time. if there are dealers in this
city who are taking advantage of
home buyers, as specifically charged
in a communication appearing today,
the condition ought not exist, and we
have no excuse to offer for it.
Our personal experience is not in
line with that of the writer, except
In very few instances. AS rule,
we have always felt that we were
getting as good value for the money
spent with the home dealer as il We
had sent to some house in large
city. ard in most cases we are con-
WINGED that the home man gave us
q better deal than we would have
gotten elsewhere. There are times,
1t is true, when we have knowingly
paid little higher for certain ar
ticlcs than the same goods could be
bought for in some other city; but
this was owing to conditions for
which the home dealer was not re-
6ponsiblc. In any event, we have
always wanted him to have his fair
profit. We felt that his being in town
IBIS aid in carrying the burdens of
local taxation, helping to build
schools, maintain churches and his
citizenship generally entitled him not
only 20 a reasonable percentage on
his investment but also to the pref
erence when it came to giving out
patronage. We still think any other
view Of the matter is short sighted
and a"ainst community interests.
However, on the principle of CIV
Ing all sides an opportunity for ex-
preston. we publish the reply to Sec
Tetary Holworthy, in the full conf
dence that that gentleman will be
amply able to take care Of himself In
the controversy.

as the taxpayers OF Florida are IN a
position to stand for State colleges,
unless there was need which Is
not apparent.
Aside from the fact that | believe
that the State through the state
University and the State College for
Women is taking care of the normal
work and is preparing to extend the
facilities in this line of educational
training, therefore making another
State institution unnecessary and IN
advisable and adding to the tax bur-
den of the people, the creation Dian
additional college, as contemplated
by this measure would unlucstion-
ably have a tendency to arouse other
communities and sections of the
State to ask from the Legislature
considerable appropriations for a
constantly increasing number OF
State COLLEGES 1t is obvious that the
point would soon he reached, II suca
additional COLLEGES we're allowed,
where taxpayers of the State would
find this burden very enormous, ard
the efficiency of the established in
situations would be weakened
If the youth of the State had no
opportunity for college education
offered them except through a col
lege maintained at State expense,
then there may be some reason for
more State colleges. but in consider
ing the facilities in the State for ac-
curing higher education ard the de-
n1ands upon the State in this connec-
ton we must bear in mind that
there are a number of colleces other
than the State colleges The Stet-
son University, the Sutherland Col
lege, the Columbia College, the Rol-
Inns College, the Palmer College, the
Madison Normal, the Dade City Nor
NAL, and the Green Cove SPRINGS
Limitary school are all institutions
of higher education within our State
each of which schools are regarded
with favor and enjoy liberal pat
ronage
While, as an official my duty to
the people of Florida, as | see it, i'm
pels me, for the reasons above set
forth, to veto this bill, my high re-
CARDS for the citizens of Madison
and that community, my esteem and
respect for the gentlemen who so
ably represented Madison county in
the recent Legislature causes me per-
sonally to feel great reluctance in
having to withhold my approval Of
this measure
Very truly yours,

The New York Herald has an cX-
ccllent article on the folly of ad-
vertising by circulars, which is
more expensive and far less effective
than newspaper advertising. The cir
cular is relic Of ruralism, being
generally tahooed when the COM
munity gets to be a real city. 1t is
hard to break people from the circu-
lar habit, for as the Herald says,
they stick to It with a persistence
worthy of a better cause. But in real
up-to-date communities the NOR
chants confine themselves to news
paper advertising, which the expert
ei.ce of the most eminent authorities
on the subject declares to be the
best and cheapest form Of publicity.

LIVE AND LET LIVE

Our worthy secretary of the Board
Of Trade, a. j. IIolworthy, undoubt-
odly voices the sentiment Of the peo-
pie OF Lakeland when he quotes the
above phr9sc; it is ali riSlt to boost,
Friend I.olwortly, and we are glad
to see you take such an interest in
Lakeland, but at the same time let
Us look the matter sQuarely in the
face. heartily approve OF patron
izing our home merchants wherever
they are consistent in their prices. 4
few weeks ago the writer received a
circular containing agents net
prize and resale price Of a small vul-
canizer. The list price was $3.50
with 20 and 10 per cent off to
agents, and upon passing around
town | saw the same article with
same manufacturers name thercon)
in three different hardware stores
marked as follows: $3.50. $500.
and $3.50. Now the article only
cost these merchants $1.0S or $1.12
laid down in Lakeland. Now l ID
not call this competition or consist
ency of prices. Another case: A few
days ago | was getting prices upon
galvanized sheet iron and, wishing
to buy in quantity, received a price
of $1.50 per sheet where had been
buying the same thing daily for
Sl.25 of the same merchant This
iron costs him AZ cents per she It
laid down in Lakeland. Another
case: A merchant advertised a
great sale of mems suits at cost
price-$22.50. Upon going to
small town very close to Lakeland
l found the same suit (made by the
same manufacturer) at $1,000.
Live and let live" Friend Hol-
worthy, but the above does not COIN
eide with your motto. 1t seems to
me that if our merchants would get
down to real business they could
stop this money from going out of
town, but the fact that they are
not satisfied with 80 or 40 or SO
per cent profit on their goods drives
the consumer to look elsewhere.
Therefore tbs the merchants own
fault and not the consumer. There
is no doubt in my mind that If our
present merchants would mark their
goods at 10 per cent above what the
consumer has to pay the mail order
houses, including transportation
charges he will keep the money
here, but under the present plan Of
sizing a man up and charging him
at the rate of how easy he looks
or how much money he has do not
see how we can expect to hold trade
here 1t is all right to say that You
get better goods here than you do
by sending away, but do you? That
is an old excuse to dodge the issue
and fools no one. l agree with you
that this is not new subject and
has been discussed many times but
always on one side of the fence.
Now let us get over and see what
the other side looks like. This is
not hearsay. but facts, which can be
shown in black and white, and what
is more the above is only a very few
of like circumstances which can be
proved to the satisfaction of any one
who wishes to investigate. Now.
Friend Holworthy, let us see you
boost a little more along new lines
which will let our own people trade
with our own people that outsiders
may see and benefit thereby.

TO SEND HOUSE PROTEST
Real Estate Brokers' Associa-
ton Opposes Bill Regulating
Signs on Property.

Following a meeting last night of the
Real Estate Brokers' Association at the
Chamber Of Commerce, a letter will be
sent by the organization today to men,
bers Of the House, opposing the plan
which forbids real estate owners and
agents to place more than one "For
Rent and For Sale" sign on any piece
of property.
The letter will state that such law will
restrict competition. create a hardship
upon the owner of the property and re-
strain and hamper business. 1t will state
that there is no public demand for such
a law, that real estate is the most active
business in Washington, in which compe-
tition is often keen, and that there are
at present several thousand houses in
Washington for rent and for sale, which
the placing of only one sign might pre-
vent being either sold or rented.
1t was reported at last nights meeting
that the National Association OF Real
Estate Exchanges at its annual meeting
adopted resolutions disappearing any act
bv any real estate broker that might
bring discredit to the National Capital
The association last night also favorably
acted upon a plan to hold monthly lunch
con parties, placing the matter in the
hands of q committee composed of George
T. Worthington, Morton Luchs. F. l..
Davis and James f. Shea. President
william H. Saunders presided.

PLAN STARTED TO SAVE
DISTRICT APPROPRIATION
Compromise or the Excise
Amendment, It Is Thought,
viii Relieve Situation.

To save the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill from failure at this session
of Congress and otherwise to relieve a
situation which is embarrassing to many
members of the House. negotiations were
begun today for compromise on the eX-
else amendment, which at present is a
stumbling block in the way of the con-
sideration of the bill
The movement started among members
who are affiliated with the prohibition
element in the House and is being joined
in by men who favor more drastic excise
regulations than now obtain. but VINO
fear that the enactment Of the Jones'
Works bill into law at this time is i'm
practicable and apprehend not only dan
ger of no anti-dquor legislation at all,
but even failure of the District bill.
The proposed compromise which is be-
ing circulated among members today for
scrutiny and approval provides in gen.
eral way as follows: :
Provision of Compromise.
Reduction by way of elimination
through regulation of the total number
Of licenses from the present number to
about :;25.
Graduated increase Of the license fee
annually until it reaches 81, 800.
No saloon to be allowed within GO0
feet of a school or 800 feet of church.
No saloon within 1000 feet OF the
navy yard, marine barracks or War Col
lege.
No more licenses to be issued until the
number of saloons falls to the ratio OF
l to 1OO0 Inhabitants.
Increase of the wholesale license to
$500.
Other minor regulations to further reg
ulate and restrict the traffic
REQUIRES Unanimous Consent.
1t was stated today that the carrying out
of this proposed compromise would re-
duire unanimous consent to be given in
the House The plan is to report the
bill back from the committee on appro-
priations and ask unanimous consent to
non-concur in all the Senate amendments
except the excise tax, and to concur in
that amendment with an amendment as
above set forth.
Concurrence in that action would send
the bill to conference with the House
conferees practically instructed on the
excise amendment But, as stated i,
is necessary to have an agreement that
all this shall be done by unanimous
consent and that there shall not be a
test vote on the Jones-WOrks amend
ment.
The plan. If it is indorsed by the prohi-
bition element in the House. Will be sub
mitted to the committee on appropriations
for Its action.
