SYSTEM OF ROADS TO
BE BUILT IN POLK COUNTY

In the course of an article in the
Mulberry Herald, explaining the
plans for road work adopted by the
Polk county commissioners, S
Whidden, a member of the board, fur
nishes the following information:
About last December the board
laid out or accepted system of roads
to be clayed by the convicts, AMI
agreed that the convicts should be
kept on this system until finished.
This plan was brought about by find
ing after two years of convict work
that We had several miles of hard
surfaced roads in the county, but not
connected In such way as to give
the public much benefit. Hence the
itea OF beginning on road and kee ,
ing at it until it Is finished
This system OF roads begins a.
Fort Meade and goes to Kathleen, q
few miles north of Lakeland, viz
Barlow. Then from the county liu,
west OF Lakeland to intersect the
Bond road in Bond District No. |,
via Lakeland, Beginning at LAX -
land, and going to Chicora via Ne
dulla, Standard, Christina, Mulberry
Pierce and Bradley. Then begin a.
county line west of Mulberry and go
to Winter Haven, intersecting Bono
road, via Mulberry and Barlow.
When this system of roads are COM
pieted almost all places of interes,
in the county will be connected, anu
at the same time outlets to other
counties. After carefully figuring the
cost OF these roads and the main
tainance of the other roads in tn
county, and comparing this with the
road tax, the board saw that thev
would have to find some cheaper way
than hauling it with mules. After
careful investigation they bought 4
locomotive crane to dig this road
material with and traction engine
to transport it from the pit of cars
to the road. And in this way we eX-
pect to build roads at about on"-
fourth what thay Lave been costing
and about four times as fast. BY the
aid of this machinery the board ex-
Lects to complete this system OF
roads in about two years. And whe
these roads are completed the later
ais can soon be extended to each com.
munity in the county"

sWer to an article OF mine published
iE Home and Farm last fall, describ-

W. M. Thornton, from Pittsburs,
Miss. Mr.. Thornton wrote me that
he wanted to come to Florida, cou :
tinue his life-work, farming and
teaching, build a home and be happy
the remainder of his days.
AS result of our correspondence
Mr.. Thornton came to Fla, took the
Rtview Course for Teachers in Roll
Inns college, wrote the examination
for teachers certificate last week
and is now really for business. He
has been rendered the principalship
of town schools, but declines, prefer
ring to teach in some remote country
place, as he feels there is where he is
needed most. This is a praise-worthy
spirit. The like of Thornton will

was called at Rollins college, is a

before he left his Mississippi home.
Now that he Is in Florida drinkina

disease has been in existence for a

Such Is the case with many chronic.
incurable diseases. Disease of the kid

CANNON AND SIMMONS.

Immediately after he was elected in 1908, Mr.
Taft set on foot warfare to oust Cannon from the
Speakership. The progressives lined up with him
for the fray. ...>~>
Immediately after the election in 1912, the
Wilson-radical Democrats in the Senate set about
to defeat Simmons for headshp of the Finance Com.
mittee. -. +.
The parallel is perfect Cannon was regarded
as likely to be disoya to the tariff pledges of the
party; and tariff revision was the first business in
hand.
Likewise, today, Simmons is regarded as likely
to be dislaya the tariff pledges of his party; and
again, tariff is the first business in hand.
Pursue this parallel farther Four years ago
until Mr.. Taft himself suddenly deserted it.
This year, the fight against Simmons won only
victories until it was discovered that Mr. Wilson had
lost interest in it; thought it best the whole, not
to press such opposition. f.: "r IS
1t looks today as if Mr.. Simmons would be
chairman of Finance. The opposition to him is
crumbling to pieces.
Four years ago today it was looking as if Mr..
Cannon would be safely reelected Speaker.
In each case, the real progressives lost enthus-
'iasm when they discovered that the Administration
was not with them.
Four years ago, Cannon being duly elected, the
Taft Administration entered upon its career of trou-
bles which at length led to collapse and reputation
THE FIRST STEP IN THAT LONG SERIES
OF DISASTERS WAS TAKEN WHEN AN AD-
MINISTRATION PLEDGED TO PROGRESS CON-
PROMISED WITH CANNON
Will the Wilson Administration compromise with
Simmons now, with that record before it?
Indications are that it will. 1t is surely oour-
ageous Administration.

INCOME TAXATION.

Numerous House Democrats are discussing the
advisability of having the income tax, which is to
be put into the tariff BILL imposed upon all incomes
beyond ST 900. This would be a strict fulfllment
of President Wilson's idea that we ought to get back
to original principles of taxation" Mr.. Wilson has
objected to the protective tariff not only because
he thinks it puts artificial price on articles Of
consumption, and not only because he thinks it es-
tablisnes a corrupt link between Government and
ciple to conceal tax in such a way that the man
paving 1.-THE consumer-does not comprehend that
If is a tax, as Mr. Wilson declares it is
Going back to original principles in the matter
of Democratic taxation, therefore, would naturally
mean imposing an income tax upon small as we'll as
big incomes For the matter of that, the more seri-
GUS students in the school of economics would agree
with Mr. Wilson and his Democratic followers in
Congress tnat all voters ought to pay taxes in such
way as to know what tax means and does that
the best way for them to know what it means and
does is for them to make personal application of
it to themselves.
A low tax on small income would amount to
very little in the way of individual surrender to the
national treasury, but the argument is every time
the individual did pay that small amount of income
taxation he would have full realization that there
was such thing as paying taxes, undsguised and
direct and he would take a deeper interest in the
of any public servant to squander or even
to be overberal with public funds to which the
income taxpayer was contributing his mite.
