There was one serious omis-
sion from the Bryan primary law,
and Senator Bryan had better have
it inserted before he runs again.
Every voter, on registering and
swearing to his politics, ought to
be required 10 swear also that lie
will not apply to any victorious
candidate for appointment to any
Office either for himself or any
one else, and any voter neglect
ing or refusing to make such nm
oath should be denied the priv
lege of registering or voting. III
this had been inserted when the
law was passed, there would have
been prodigious silence in some
quarters from which we now hear
u mighty roaring.

Hon. w. A. McRae, commits

titled to reelection. He was
chosen for four years, hut an ov-

him to run again. Democratic
custom also entities him to a con

Don't Abolish 1t

Every cooperation, large or
small-in fact, almost every or
ganization, social or commercial.
finds it net essarv to have a treas
urer. Every county should have
such an official, and the clsmor
for the abolition Of the Office of
county treasurer is unwisc.
The proposition to do away
with the office was inspired by a
wish for economy in handling pub
lie money, but this object can be
obtained in better way, viz: by
consolidating the Offices of assess
sor and collector and paying only
one commission ON the money
handled. In Mississippi, the
sheriff is the county tax COLLECTORS
but, in Florida, if we should cor
bine the offices of collector ard
sheriff, the fortunate possessor d.
the consolidated office would d
paid too high price for the wor
done. In this, DeSoto count
for example, he would get Sl

Letns retain the office of CON
.ty treasurer. Il operates a q
safety check on the collector and
also on the board of county com
missioners. 1t is absolutely nee
essary to keep full and complete
record Of all moaey received into
the county treasury and paid out
of it and the record should show
every detail.
If the office is abolished, some
thing must take the place of it;
and, if a bank is substituted by
the county commissioners, as has
been suggested, it is sure to cause
a quarrel and arouse suspicious Of
graft against the commissioners. /
Instead of having the commits
sioners designate a bank, it is
best to let the taxpayers by vote
designate man.

true, but we should be careful not

The State Chemists Report

The report of the State Chem
ist II. Il. Rose for the year 1913,
which has recently been Issued
from the press of the State Print
Ell, contains a good deal OF inter-
esting and valuable information.
Al full synopsis of it cannot be
given in this paper; a few facts,
though, will serve TO show its I'M
portance.
The cash receipts from the sale
of inspection stamps for fertillz-
ers and feeding stuffs during 1913
amounted to $S7,S21.12. From
this it follows that during the
year, the people of Florida bought
1928 tons of fertilizers and cot
ton seed meal and 1877, 156 tons OF
feeding stuffs.
The total expenses of the chemi-
cal division, which includes the
salaries of the State Chemist, his
assistants and clerks; salaries OF
the three inspectors and their
travelling expenses; chemicals, APP
paratus, incidentals and food SAM
Piles for the laboratory, as well as
the execution of the immature cit
rus fruit law, amounted to 49,
O72.O1, which left a net balance
of sos, 649.11 that was paid into
the general revenue fund of the
state treasury.
The total number of analyses
made amounted to 1,099. OF these,
$50 we're OF Fertilizers, 244 of feed
ing stuffs, and 43C of foods and
drugs, watets and citrus fruits.
Many of these, particularly the
were special samples sent
n by citizens. VA complete list
md report of all are given.
The State Chemist calls especial
to the fact that there
we're imported into the State 81,
,09 tonsxof mixed feed alone, for
vhich the people paid the enor-
nous sum Of 81, 2S2, 1897, TO say
lothing of the vast quantities of
orn, oats and hay imported and
onsumed, Of which no record is
lade, because these three articles
h not subject to the inspection
ax. Considering this, he main
aims that this enormous expendi
ure for stock feed is in large
lei,snre unnecessary, as no other
tate has a greater variety of pas
nre and forage crops, as our
rlorisla cotton seed meal, begga
weed, COW peas and velvet beans
ire rich in protein and our Japan
sc cane, rice and the various
grasses that are easily grown con-
ain an ample proportion of car
oohydrates, that is, starch and
sugar. There is little, if any
need, he argues, for our progress
-ive farmers to buy imported
feeling stuffs, for they can pro-
'luce all they require and that,
too, at a great saving in cost
Many other interesting matters
are discussed in the report, men
ton of which is forbidden by the
limitations of this paper, but any
citizen can secure a copy of the
report free by addressing the
State Chemist at Tallahassee and |

 FOR ARIZONA TRAVEL
Want Southern Lines To Follow
 Decrease In North

TUCSON, july 24.-No notice of rate decrease over passenger lines west of Chicago has been received at the local traffic office of the Southern Pacific. It is expected, however that decreases in rates over the southern lines will follow the announced de- creases over the northern lines, which are effective August 1.
 The decrease in the rates over the northern lines is announced as five per cent of the present rates, and it is also announced that the decrease will be permanent It is hoped by Arizona publicity men and boosters that the southwest will be accorded the same decrease as the northwest has, and it is believed that the new rates have an important influence in building mp the country.
 No information has been received at the local traffic offices of the South ern Pacific and Arizona Eastern of the announced postponement of the new flour rates until October 1. The rates were to be effective Aubust 1.
 Notice of the postponement of the date states that the l. c. c. at it's meeting in Washington July n de- cided to delay the rates two months. Upon further consideration of the records of the case and for good cause" is given as the reason for the delay
 It is presumed that the carriers need a greater length of time to ad- | just their tariffs
