AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE
says Light of the Proposed
Criminal Court

Editor Star: am opposed 10 a
criminal court Of record for Marion
county for the following reasons:
The state Of Florida pays Judge
Buuock's, Prosecuting Attorney Da-
Wis salaries, also all costs Of jury and
witnesses coming before circuit court
A criminal court Of record VIII re-
qulre an additional judge. an addi-
tionaI prosecuting attorney. an addi-
tional clerk Of the court and the
county must pay the Judge. the prose-
cutting attorney. the clerk and all
costs connected with the court. If the
state pays the present Judge. the pres
ent prosecuting attorney. the costs Of
jury and witnesses. what good will it
do you and / TO have like officials do
the same duty that IS now being per-
formed by our present officials, and
have the county pay the costs of a
criminal court2 What good will you
and I get cut af the creation Of these
new court officials, when we have al
ready these men on the same job, paid
by the state.
What would you think Of a farmer
who would hire two plow hands to
run one-horse pIow2
What do you think Of the plan ef
paying two judges. two prosecuting z
attorneys, two clerks - prosecute one
criminal?
If some one steals a hog from me,
as the law now is. I can go to our Red
dick justice of the peace. and have
the thief tried here and sent 10 jafl;
whereas, if we had a criminal court Of
record, I ana my witnesses would
have 10 go to Ocala, pay witnesses
five cents a mile two and from Oca1a,
pay prosecuting attorney a salary per
year, and ten dollars extra if convict
ed, besides cost of Judge and clerk.
Wherein can YOU and I be benefited
by a change of the above kind?
A criminal court OF record, if I am
rightly informed, would almost COM
pletely wipe out the jurisdiction OF
our justices Of the peace. Is not a
court for minor offenses and misde
meanors near home better for sou and
than lawyer-made court for same
offenses in Ocala?
If a majority of the legal voters III

create a criminal court of record 1t IS
the duty of the legislature 10 create
| such a court, and such a court cannot
| be created except by the consent 81

fuse to sign d petition for such a
! court.

Montana Rates Are High.

HELENA, Jan. 28.-It was brought
out at the legislative rate hearing last
night that rates from Montana points
to Minneapolis and Duluth are about
Is per cent higher than rates from
points in Canada of the same mileage.
j. Nj. Hannaford, vice president of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
was on the stand.
He explained the disparity In Mon
tana and Canadian rates on the
grounds the Canadian lines are sub
sidized by the government. In rebuttal
it then vas shown that the Northern
Pacific received a land grant by the
federal government worth many mil.
lions of dollars; and it was further
brought out that the rates 90 the
Northern Pacific are about ten per
cent higher than rates on the CON-
modfties over the Great Northern.
Intrastate rates were incidentally
considered. AS an illustration it was
cited that rates on grain from Fargo
North Dakota, to Minneapolis, a dis
lance OF PSI miles, Is eleven cents.
For eleven cents In Montana, the
Northern Pacific will haul grain only
from sixty to seventy.ive miles.
