mary. Some of those who are loud
est in his support were largely re-
sponsible for Woodrow Wilson fail
ing to carry Florida in the presiden-

who have been voting the ticket
from principle long before some of
these self-appointed leaders were
born will not follow their lead in the

they did in the previous primary.

EDWIN SPENCER'S LONG
AND SHORT HAUL ACT

The meetings called by the state
3, and in Kissimmee March :, to
pass judgment on the petitions of
the Seaboard and Coast Line, are in
consequence of the law framed by
Representative Spencer of Marion
and passed by the recent meeting of
the legislature, to make the roads
charge lower rates in proportion for
short than long hauls-a grievance
from which the people have suffered
greatly
The act went into effect jan :
The roads followed their usual policy
IN not paying any attention to it. Mr..
Spencer wrote a letter to the rail-
road commission few days ago, in
regard to the matter. The commits
sion probably acted on the letter.
and the roads at once petitioned for
relief. Consequently, the hearings
have been set on the dates afore-
said
The roads of course have a right
TO petition for maintenance of the
old rates, and if they give good rea-
son, the commission has power to
grant them.
Ir. Spencer will appear before the
= commission when it meets in Ocala

pie TO back him up strongly in this
matter, to furnish him data and ap-

plained-now it is up to them TO do
ell in their power to uphold the leg

In the meantime the law is in

MAYOR ROBERTsON's MESSAGE

Mayor Robertson sends to the
city council a message containing a
number of recommendations, some
of which are good and some not.
The message is as follows:
To the City Council of Ocala:
Gentlemen advocate and re-
specially recommend consideration
by your honorable body of the fol-
lowing propositions:
1. That the electric light plant
and water works plant be consolidat-
ed, and that each of said plants be SO
enlarged and improved as to ade-
quately meet the needs and necessi-
ties of the city and citizens. The
present pressure of water is INSULT
cient for fire protection. The cleo
trio light plant should be improved
so as to amply provide for the in
creasing demands for service.
2. The purchase or erection of
an ice plant, and the furnishing of
ice and gas to all persons at the
same fair and equal price; that an
election be called to determine
whether bonds shall be issued for
such purpose.
3. The boring of several wells by
the city for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether better water can be Sc
cured.
4. The putting down by the city
Of a sewerage well in each block of
the city, and taxing property owners
proper proportion for the privilege
Of. connecting herewith.
B. The designation of certain
streets for the use of log wagons.
g. The purchase of the block
east of Atlantic Coast Line railroad
passenger depot, and the building
thereon of a city hall and fire sta
ton coma bined.
I. That Osceola street be paved
Immediately with vitrifed brick.
s.. The paving of all streets with
yitrifed brick, and that an election
be called to determine whether
| bonds shall be issued for such pur-
pose The interest on such bonds
resent cost of repairing streets;
While the brick streets would be per-
manent and more durable, the cost
repairing same being little.
| Pro and Con
The mayors first recommendation
! : all right; the citizens have been
'emanding increased water pressure
| FOR some time, and it has been I'M
| derstood that the electric and water
| plants would be consolidated, and it
is proper for the mayor to hurry up
| the improvement if he can do so. No
| telling when a big fire will hit US,
and if water pressure is not increas-
ed it may hit us hard. Electric plant
must be improved to keep up with
| demands on it. In this recommen-
dation the mayor says nothing new,
but it is very we'll indeed to press
| the old.
His. second recommendation, pur-
chase or erection of al ice plant and
furnishing ice and gas to the public
at low rate, is entirely too pre-
/ vious, paternalistic and socialistic.
We have at present very good gas
plant and ice factory, which are fur
nishing their commodities ID the
public at a decent rate. No more
reason for the city to go to selling
ice and gas to the public than for ii
to go to selling drygoods and gro
ceries. Of course, if the city put uI
