COMPARED WITH
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
(DeLand Ne VS. }

The Times-Union can see no differ
ence between a public and private
monopoly. In buying the second
route across the Isthmus of Panama,
and thus shutting out any possibility
of competition, the Times-Union
thinks the government has laid it.
self open to criticism for monopoly.
The Times-Union being owned by
the railroads, and its editors (no
matter what good fellows" they may
be, personality being selected because
of their conservatism, they very natu-
rally, and honestly look at things in
a different light than the average
citizen. Everything owned and con-
trolled by the government should be
"a mOnOpoly-because the government
lis the people, and when all
the people engage in any business,
mo select few should be allowed to en-
gage in a competing business and thus
have an interest not only in the gov
ernment plant but in their own pri-
vate plant as we'll. The very nature
of the thing in repugnant.
For instance: If the government
owned ninety billions of dollars of
railroads, each citizen of the United
States would own one thousand dol
lars worth of railroad stock, even
tho he did not carry around a stock
certificate to prove his ownership If
IA private individual would then invest
one million dollars in a railroad, he
would have as much interest in rail-
roads as 1000 individuals, would be
"a competitor against himeself and
against all those who did not own as
much railroad stock
The very nature of government
Ownership is monopolistic for the
public good.
1t is the same with a great trade
body. The board of trade of Jack
sonville can justly do things that no
private individual could do; or a la
Dor union, working for the good of
Of its thousands of members, may do
for the integral that which no individ-
ual could do for himself
Government is itself a monopoly
1t is a monopoly for and of the peo-
pie. No one else is allowed to set up
government for himself. No one
else is allowned to make laws A
government may not take an eye for
an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for
life-but no one else may do so.
And if this were not so, government
would be mockery.

A BENEFICENT ORGANIZATION

Tampa Tribune: The Tribune is
pleased to learn that the Southern
Settlement and Development Organ
iZation is making progress in the
great work it proposes to do. Mr..
Manss, the active head of the organ
ization, who has just made his sec
ond official visit to Tampa, says the
details of the work are being rapid
ly but carefully worked out and that
its success is as near assured as any
thing can possibly be. The scientific
immigration plans which the organ
ization proposes to put into effect
will prove of great value to every
Southern state and to none more so
than to Florida, which must neces-
sarily depend upon immigration for
much of its future development. Mr.
Manss is a most intelligent and en-
ergetic worker and in his hands this
important project will count for
much in the upbuilding of the South.

The Roman emperor, Caligula,
was justly denominated a tyrant,
one OF the evidences of it being that,
he caused the laws to be published
in letters SO small that the people
were unable to read them. From
what we see in the Ocala Evening
Star it seems that the council of
that city has old Caligula skinned a
block, because it doesn't publish the
laws it enacts in any kind of letters,
neither large nor small-Jasper
News.
Nay, nay, esteemed contemporary,
you have misread the Star. Ocala
has the best city council in Florida,
and not printing the ordinances is
the greatest one of its few faults.

Here was man (Sulzer) who
while commencing the publicity
campaign contribution bill as the
most important measure ever enacted
because it concerned the very honor
of the country, all the while was
specializing in Wall street with the
funds contributed for his campaign,
and when he was detected permitted
his wife to go upon the stand in an
attempt to shoulder the guilt-Ban-
ner.
Mrs. Sulzer has not been on the
stand, and, according to the press
dispatches, which is all the Informal
ton any of us in this part of the
country have, her husband is not
willing to have her go on the stand.
How does the Banner reconcile it's
obvious venom toward Governor Sui
ger with its professions of broad
minded charity toward all men?

Claude L'Engle, congressman at
large, after a months stay at Hamp-
ton Springs in Taylor county, has
returned to his home in Jackson
vile. He has been considerably
benefited by his sojourn at the
springs and will soon return to
Washington. Mr.. L'Engle has been
martyr to rheumatism the past
year and a half. His whirlwind
campaign in the spring of 1912 was
made in spite of physical suffering
that would have kept an ordinary
man in bed. His friends in the Sec
ond district will always watch his
career with close interest, and hun
dreds of them would gladly cross
the line to vote for him in the next
primary if the law would allow them
to do so.
