Expresses Doubt as to Whether
Trusts Are Industrially Efficient

not arise in the smaller concerns. Is it
or is 1t not true that the majority OF
motive in the forming Of trusts is the
profits Of the promoters: There seems
to be point beyond which the in
crease of output is done at an increas-
ing expense.
We know that many OF the trusts
have ceased to be. They have COM
mercially failed. We know that Others
are not paying profits upon their Sc
curities at all commensurate with thoss
earned by smaller private concerns.
What the facts are precisely we do
not know. They need to be exhaus-
lively worked out, for we may come TO
find that the remorseless law OF eco
nomics is working its way irrespective
of legislation and that the light of eco
nonlic truth, once found and fully
turned upon the subject may make
clear a way which TO many has seemed
rough and hazardous"

FOUR KILLED BY EXPLOSION
Nine Florida Sheriffs Gather
in Tallahassee and Prepare to
Fight Bills Before Legislature

OF Franklin. T. C. Smyth, of Lake. w.
H. Dowling, of DuvaI. P. G. Ramsey.
of Alachua and J. A. Kirkwood, of
Orange, were appointed to assist Col.
F. T. Myers in getting the sheriff's
bills before the house and committees
for consideration.
The sheriffs association has FIVE
different bills coming before the leg
islature. They want the body to pass
a law making it legal for sheriffs to
hire county detectives; they want per
mission to hire jailors, at a maximum
wage of 200 per day. they ask that
jurors and bailiffs be allowed to get
a little better grub; the present statute
only provides $1.00 per day for this
matter, and very few hotels will ac-
cept boarders at that rate. They want
to take jurors and bailiffs to places
where the menus are of higher order,
requesting that the state comptroller
be empowered to pass the bills after
wards, provided that the circuit court
Judge approves the voucher.

that If it IS decided to consolidate the
