tons and the Times-Union behind
him. II that is true it would easily

pies side, and he will beat Davis

that will reduce the sum total is
worthy of consideration.
Ocala is confronted by a rather
unusual situation. With most cities,
it is one or two things at a time.
With us, there are four big items
and a smaller one, all at once.
All the councilmen claim to be
welded to the principle of municipal
ownership. None of them have ex-
pressed a willingness to turn the
electric business over to outside par
ties. They propose for the city to
buy the current and supply it to the
people, just like it does now, mean
time keeping the present city plant
in order, for emergencies. Some of
the councilmen, and many citizens,
are fatty against the proposition.
They see in it the camel's nose under
the, tent, which will eventually up
set the structure of municipal own
ership.
Of course, if any bid is accepted,
both parties will be bound by con-
tract-the city to take it's current
for term of years, and the firm
supplying it to furnish it at certain
price, which would have to be lower
than the city could make it.
On the one hand, this would save
the city much present expense and
future responsibility. On the other

| On the other hand, there is thu
ever-present possibility of the plan
getting into politics, in which cas-,
it would cost more and give mucl

consider, and make their views plai1

THE EXEMPTION SHIP SUBSIDY

A lot of people, who possibly don't
read anything but the Hearst news
papers, are not very well informed
about the real points of the dispute
before Congress about exemption
from canal tolls or repeal.
The other day. gentleman who is
we'll posted on history, science and
art and very well posted on theol-
ogy, said he didn't like the idea OF
President Wilson wanting to allow
the ships of all nations to go thru
the canal free, which would be exact
ly the opposite of what Mr.. Wilson
is trying to do.
The Star set the gentleman right,
and restrained its disposition to
laugh at him, for about the same
time Oscar S, Strauss, who is high
authority on finance, and should be
we'll acquainted with politics, made
as bad break.
In regard to Mr.. Strauss and his
opinion, which is doubtless shared in
| by many who have not his source of
Information, the Times-Union which
can talk very straight when it wants
to, says:
/ A Useless Subsidy
Oscar S. Strauss must have been
badly mixed when he asked: Are
we to cast aside all our high purpos-
es for two million dollars annually"
The words seem to imply that the
United States, or the people of the
United States, would gain two mil
lion dollars a year by granting the
use of the Panama canal free of
charge to the coastwise shipping of
the United States. Instead of gain
ing two million dollars by this, that
is the sum the United States, or the
people of the United States would
lose. Mr.. Strauss should have asked:
Are we to cast aside our high pur-
= poses and two million dollars an
nually to crafty 10: of jingoes and
enrich coastwise shipping corpora
tions?"
While the international aspect OF
the dispute is sufficient of itself in
settle it, we regret that it has been
made prominent in the discussion
for the economic aspect also should
be sufficient to settle the question
: Taking this view alone, here is the
: Iquestion: "Shall we, after shutting
all foreign ships out of the coastwise
. trade and giving the vessels of the
United States complete control Of it
also give them two million dollars q
year of the peoples money for rem.
dering a service which we have put
completely in their hands without
any restrictions as to the charges
they may make for it? The propo
sition is so unreasonable that we
cannot see how men can differ about
p it,
i We should strongly oppose grant
u ing subsidy to American vessel:
| engaged in the foreign trade, bu
: this would be comforting an advan
tage on them over their foreign
5 rivals that might result in the estab
) lishment of more American lines and
the upbuilding Of our merchant ma
rine. But by giving this subsidy tt
all the vessels engaged in our coast
wise trade, we don't build up any
thing. We just give tor a favored
.class, for no reason whatever, none.

GOVERNMENT ONLY
CAN CURB THE GRAFT

There IS much food for rejection
in the following from the Scottish
American, of New York City:
1t would almost appear as if the
cost OF the neccesaries of life in the
United States were determined, not
b ythe plenty or scarcity of the ar
ticles used as food, but by monopo-
20 keep prices at an ascending scale.
How can it be otherwise when We
know that in Great Britain, which
imports the major portion of its food
supplies. the Aeessaries of sub
sistence are cheaper than here, from
which these food supplies have been
imported American -four and meat
cost less TO the purchasers in Lon
don than they do in New York. 1t
does not seem to matter much
whether We have high or low tarih
here, so far as the people generally
are concerned. The monopolists and
dealers in food products regulate
the prices to suit Worcestershire
public grumble and protest, and the
prices soar regardless of the public
dissatisfaction.
|. Theories, based largely on assum-
ed statistics, have been brought for
ward to account for the high cost of
living, and these are of such char
acter as to leave the public mind in
a maze of conjecture as to the real
state of affairs. The purpose of the
theorist. apparently, is to bring
about such general confusion OF
mind as to divert attention from the
real facts in the interest of monopo-
lies.
Seemingly this would be impossi-
BILE in view of the fact as is given in
the Washington dispatche, Of last
Thursday. which shows that the rea-
son why the high prices of meat are
maintained, and can be maintained,
unless a remedy can be found, is be-
cause the meat trust has gained con-
troll of the products brought here
from Argentina.
When it was reported first that
meat products were to be imported
| from Argentina the news was re-
+! ceived with extreme satisfaction
as wage earners generally hoped to
secure meat at prices which were uoi
prohibitive as before. This feeling
of satisfaction, however, was of brief
duration, the price of meat showed
no abatement; in fact, in some in.
stances seemed to soar higher thar
before
