Press Report

Yours very sincerely,

Press Report
The following report was sent to
the Tampa Tribune and other morn
ing papers:
Ocala, Fla, Feb. 13.-At a meet
ing here today of the Southern Ex-
press officials and representatives
from various trade bodies and ship
pers' organizations, rates on vegeta-
bles from Florida points to the east,
north and west were thoroughly dis
cussed.
Considerable light was thrown
upon the express. rates and their ap-
plication, which resulted in much in
formation being given to the express
officials, illustrating the fact that
wrong information had been furnish
ed by their agents at many points in
the state. When this was fully ex-
planned there was a much better I'M
derstanding of the rates that are
now going into force on these COM
modities shipped from Florida. 1t
was shown that lots aggregating
over one hundred pounds could be
shipped on a much cheaper basis
that the single crate rate, which has
been the system in force up to Feb.
1st, but which was abandoned thru
the recent ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The express
company will advertise the new
rates and the methods of figuring
them throughout the state, and will
reimburse for any overcharges with
out the formality Of filing claims. In
general the new rates are materially
lower than the old ones and ulti-
mately will be of great advantage to
Florida's express shippers.
Rates on cantaloupes and beets
| have been generally increased but
the express officials granted a new
| weight schedule on beets in barrel
crates which reduces materially the
rates on this commodity.

The OcaIa Conference

Over twenty years ago, a famous
political conference was held in this
city and formulated the doctrine
known as The Ocala Platform.
The Star would be glad if the "Ocala
Conference could become famous
as a starting point for better I'M
derstanding between the people and
the corporations. Because, the cor
porations can attend to business bet
ter than the government, if they will
do SO. And the people would pre-
fer to have them attend to it if they
will do so reasonably.
The Star confesses to an old
fashioned dislike to see govern
ment do anything but govern. 1t
would prefer to see all business car
ried on by individuals, companies
and corporations. with governments
national, state and municipal simply
standing by TO see that the rights OF
all are preserved. The Star never
advocated government ownership nor
operation of anything until like the
rest of the public it saw the corpor-
ations becoming as arbitrary and ex-
acting as any government could be
It would be glad indeed to believe
that the Ocala conference marks the
turning point of return to old
fashioned business methods, so fal
nIor =
ton can be applied.

CLEARED AWAY THE CLOUDS

The conference held in Ocala on
the 18th between the growers and
shippers on the one hand and the
representatives of the express COM
panies on the other was productive
of a great amount of good.
There was a considerable amount
Of i'll feeling on the part Of the peo-
pie toward the express companies,
and the conference showed that the
ill-feeling was mostly caused by a
misunderstanding. This misunder-
standing could not have been so we'll
cleared away by any other method
than the conference.
The Star would recommend the
Ocala conference as an example to
all corporations in settling their diff
ferences with the people.
The people of the United States
are not unreasonable and they are
not normally opposed to corpora
tons. They would greatly prefer to
have corporations do business for
ohem if they will do it right The
trouble is that there has been too
much of the public be damned spirit
among the officials of big railroad
telegraph and express companies
This spirit has brought forth the
spirit of reprisak and regulation that
has caused the establishment of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and the state railroad commissions
and the parcels post. There never
would have been railroad commits
sion, state or national, if the rail-
roads hadn't been arbitrary and ex-
acting, and there wouldn't have
been any parcels post if the express
companies hadn't put their rates up
so high. And just as long as they
could safely do SO, the great public
utility corporations have in sub
stance said to every remonstrance,
you can take what we give you or
do without

OF THE WAR

were hit. On Sunday the ships,
according to the German report,
drew out far off shore. The
French steamer Admiral Cant
eaume has been added to the list
of vessels blown up by mines in
the waters off the French and
Belgian coast. More than a score
of persons were drowned, the
others being rescued by a cross
channel steamer.
The people of Belgium are in
dire straits, many millions of
them facing starvation: The
American minister to Belgium
says there is less than a two
weeks supply of food in the
cities, while in the country dis
tricts the situation is worse. The
American relief committee in
London has been forced to delay
until Wednesday it's first ship
ment of food to Belgium, the
British board of trade not having
granted the necessary license in
time.
Oct. 28.-All the nations en-
gagged in the mighty struggle in
Belgium and the north of France
are silent on the actual happen
ings in that battle-scarred zone.
So far as is known there has been
little progress on either side, but
from the accounts that have fill
tered through from various
sources, this stern engagement,
which has been going on inces-
sanity for several days, may be
characterized as the frcest of the
whole war.
Thousands upon thousands of
German reinforcements have
been added to the great masses
of troops which have been en-
deavoring to force their way to
the northern ports of France.
1t is said that this ceaseless
pushing forward of vast bodies
of German soldiers is by direct
order of the emperor, whose eye
is fixed on England, a campaign
against which at an early date
is considered among the possibil-
tiles, provided a suitable base
can be found from which to d.

Similarly the allies have been
strongly reinforced and among
the new troops at the front are
British Indians who, according
to all accounts, have been bear
ing themselves we'll.
A new rebellion in the Union
of South Africa has given cause
for anxiety both to the British
and the South African govern
ment. Generals De Wet and
Beyers, both notable figures in
the South African war, have
placed themselves at the head of
a revolt in the Orange Free State
and Western Transvaal.
The British admiralty issues a
warning to vessels whose course
may carry them to the waters to
the north of Ireland, as in these
waters German mines have been
laid with the result that one Brit
ish steamer, the Manchester
Commerce has been blown up.
Additional channels in the river
Thames have been declared clos
ed to navigation by the admiralty
in order to Illustrate attempts by
hostile ships to reach London.

From the above it will be plainly
seen that the new county must collect

the interest on the outstanding bonds,
or, of course, if they choose to do so,
they can pay their proportion in cash,
which might not, however, be conven-
lent at this time.

Some OF the people who are now
favoring the division of this county,
are, perhaps. not aware of the fact
that the new county must assume its
share of the bonded indebtedness OF
the whole county, so they would start
out with a debt of $6O,000.O0 and still
have no court house. For the benefit
of those who are not familiar with
the law, we quote the following from
Revised Codes, page 837, section 1864:
Should any part of county that
has incurred a bonded Indebtedness,
be cut off and annexed to another
county or erected into new or sep
arate county, the assessor of the. coun-

pertains to the juvenile department of

charges of extravagances against the
