EXPRESSED 1T EXACTLY

Mr. H. S. Kealhofer, traffic man

day to r. Hudson Burr, chairman
of the state railroad commissions:
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 3, 1914.
Hon. R. Hudson Burr, Tallahassee.
Dear Sir: In reference to advance
in express rates, your careful atten-
ton is invited to article in the Ocala

SECRETARY STEVENSON
URGES SUSPENSION

The State Chamber of Commerce
is proving it's usefulness. Following
his making public the fact that the
new express rates now in effect real
~ increase to a marked degree the
rates on Florida truck, Secretary J.
o. Stevenson sent the following tel
egram from ST. Augustine Tuesday:
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Washington, D. c.
Your order increasing express
rates on fruits and vegetables from
Florida TO northern points will ser
iously affect the agricultural de-
velopment of this state and virtually
wipe out all profits on produce of
the small shippers who, on account
of sparse settlement, cannot make up
car lots. We earnestly urge suspen-
sion Of proposed rates until we are
given further hearing.

SUGAR HAMMOCK

Without being predjudiced to any
proposition under our control, and
after having travelled practically the
entire state, which afforded ample
opportunity to judge Of the develop
ment possibilities of many different
sections, We are thoroughly convinc-
ed and say, unhesitatingly, that
Sugar Hammock has the best soil of
any land coming under our scope of
observation. Having come original
II from a state where land such as
acre and on which the annual net re-
suits run from $50 to $40, you will
realize the import of the statement
when We say that Florida in general
presents the most perfect agricultu-
raj climate in the United States, has
the greatest possibilities of agricul-
tural development, but sorry to say,
the most neglected opportunities.
Americas increasing population
necessarily calls for increased food
supplies. Agricultural. the basis
fundamental of all industry and
prosperity, is the source from which
the nation must be fed. The dinner
pail man, the professional man as
we'll as the high-powered man of fl
nance. all, yes even the masses, are
more and more realizing this po-
tent factor and are paying their re-
spects to the man behind the p1ow.
When We take into consideration
statistical facts that from 1890 to
cent and the cultavable area of farm
land increased "a per cent and that
during the last decade, or from 1900
to 1910 our population again in
creased q per cent and the increase
in farm land was but 5 per cent, it
is but logical to say that the law OF
supply and demand has more to do
with the high cost of living than the
tariff and the back to the farm move
ment will do more to render a feas-
able solution to our present day &C.
onomic problems than the most fay-
orable legislation. If the broad
minded thinking man will pause
just for one moment and recognize
the scope OF these national facts and
its effects on our posterity, then may

many young men left the farm for

taken from facts and conditions com

II is because, in those sections where
such is the case, the limited oppor-
tunfties and financial returns from

DOUBLE-BAR DECISION

AS Judge Bullock's recent decis-
Marion county versus s. VI. Stanley,
in which the tax collector tried to
collect license for two bars, and the
Judge decided that he could collect
for only one place OF business, has
caused considerable press and other
comment, and as probably no one
except the lawyers who heard the
judges decision understood his real
grounds for making it, the Star in
terviewed Judge Bullock and asked
for his reasons, which the judge, in
his usual accommodating and public
spirit gave.
Constitutionality Not Involved
It will be seen by the following
that the constitutionality or validity
of the statute was not involved, and
the judge did not pass on or offer
any opinion on it. He simply decid
ed that the defendant in the case
didn't have to pay a double license,
Section 81 OF Chapter GA, Laws
OF Florida, 1913, says: Dealers in
spirituous, vinous or malt liquors
shall pay a license tax of one thou
sand ($1.000) dollars in each coun-
ty and for each place of business and
each bar or place where liquor is
sold to customers shall constitute a
separate place OF business under this
act. and require separate license"
The judge held that where the
facts showed, without dispute, that
the party accused was retailing liq
nor, wines and beer in one room of a
building which room was approx
mately thirty feet wide and sixty-five
feet long, with two doors fronting
On the street, into one Of which
white people entered and into the
other colored people entered, with a
partition from the entrance or front
and not up to the ceiling and run
ming back into the room approx
mately 80 to 80 feet and turning at
right angles north and coming up to
within six to eight feet of the north
wall of the room and counter over
which liquors were sold running the
entire length of the room and on
north side and giving a continuous
view the whole length of the coun-
ter, which counter somewhere near
the middle lengthwise had a space
of about two to three feet cut out
and into which cash register sat
allowing space for one man to pass
around the cash register and between
this space in the counter. That
white customers were served at the
west end of the counter and colored
people at the east end of the coun-
Ter. That it was one mans business
one management, one set of men al
work and the room and business
under one observation of all trans
actions therein at the same time
and when a man was selling liquor
under these conditions he was no
required to have two licenses, for the
mere reason that he served white
people at the west end of the coun
Ter and colored people at the cas-
end of the counter. That such /;
condition is not what is meant in thu
statute by each place of business
and each bar or place where liquor
is sold to customers shall constitute
a separate place of business unde
this act"

And turn their wives toward high

The lady loved this kind of talk, and

With laggard feet along the street
Considering the chances
Of making Maoris refrain from rec

Like eating foes at evenings close
Amid demoniac dances.

This is too low. The number of
those disabled through wounds and
disease was recently placed at 100000.
This, also, is too moderate. 1t would
be less than two and one-half per
cent, and 1t must be remembered
that in the most recent great war
proceeding this, the Balkan struggle,
the casualties were ten times great

NEW YORK, August 25.-For the
first time in thirty years, there will
be no Labor Day parade in New
York City this fall. The labor unions
have decided to take the money the
parade would cost and use it to re
lieve unemployed union men.
In times past, in New York City
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER Their parades have been
spectacular No money was spared
in making them success. The
horses in the parade were union-shod
and the men union-equipped. There
were union bands and union badges
There we're union-made uniforms and
union refreshments. So that the ex
pense to the union men for theil
Labor Day parade, in one way or an
other, led to an expenditure running
into great sum of money. All thii
is to be foregone this year and th'
unions, very commercially. will turf
the money to help their unemployed
brothers.
