County Division Before Legisla-
ture--Charlotte County Proposed
Compulsory School Attendance

TallahaSsee-The latest if t
to secure a new county in South
Florida developed here when the
following letter was placed in the
hands of every senator. Due to the
fact that the proposition calls for
a vote of the people concerned, it
is predicted that the request will
be complied with readily:
To the Senators and Represen-
tatives of the Legislature of 1915
The citizens of the south end of
.DeSoto county are asking your
honorable body to grant them the
privilege of a referendum vote
whereby three-fifths of the quail
fled voters residing in the terri
tory thus affected may have the
right to say if they shall form a
new county.
This privilege, if so granted,
will hurt no man, or set of men !;
nor will it hurt the parent coun-
ty; but will contribute to the up
building of the section of our
great state thus affected.
We ask for three tiers of
townships across the south end of
the county (thirty-six in number) 3,
or just one-third of the territory
of the parent county.
This will give us an acreage of
S29 ,440 acres, an assessed valua-

tion of approximately three mil
lion, and a population Of 5000.
We will be as large as Manatee
county and three times as large
as Leon.
We will have an assessed valua-
ton equal to the combined assess
ments of Manatee and DeSoto
counties in 1887, at which time
they were divided, which assess
ment was $2,831, ,050, and a popu-
lation almost double that of Mana
tee three years after the division.
The population of Manatee coun-
ty in 1890 being 1895; the popula-
ton of DeSoto the same year be-
ing 4,944.
In our last primary, practically
IS per cent of the voters in the
proposed new county voted for
self-government.
We do not ask you to divide De-
Soto county, but we do ask you,
as a true democrat, as a represen-
tative of all the people of the
State of Florida to grant us the
privilege to say by our votes what
we think will be for the better
ment of ourselves, and which we
know will contribute to the up
building of that section of our
state.
The proposition is to have a

CONDEMNS BRICK HIGHWAYS
With Sand Foundations are Least
Economical and Least Logi-
cal For this State

A regular publicity propagan-
da is maintained by the brick in
terests in the various sections of
Florida where good roads senti-
ment is strongest. Inspired news
paper articles stating the advan-
tGges of brick for roads are so
worded and carry such an impress
sion that in some instances county
commissioners have been obliged
to declare themselves in favor of
brick to save bond issues from de-
feat
Brick roads, however, are about
the least economical and the least
logical that counties and road
districts in Florida can put down.
While from so to rs per cent. of
the brick block will last for years,
the original cost is high, and the
numerous relayings make the up
keep very expensive. The idea of
bonding practically to the limit
to build a few miles of road when
many miles are needed, and when
the greater mileage could be built
of a material which will last as
long as the brick and without the
excessive cost of maintenance,
does not appeal to the fiduciary
sense of the practical observer.
Spending 81 square yard on a
pavement for county roads, except
those in the vicinity of the largest
cities in the country, is practically
unheard of in any other State.
When properly constructed
these roads last for two or three
years without much expense for
repair or maintenance. During
that time, however, the periodical
torrential rains of the region beat
ing down on the brick, force guam
titles of water through the sand
filler into the subgrade, gradually
disintegrating and weakening it
in spots, so that the surface be-
comes wavy. Traffic intensifes
this condition, until, if the road is
to be kept in good condition, it be-
comes necessary to take up the
brick prepare a new subgrade,
and relay the surface, all at an ex-
pense approximating 80 to IS per
cent OF the entire original cost of
the road. In Seminole county
pense approximating 80 to 35 per
road. In Semino lie county
cent. of the entire cost of the
the statement was made that 31a
miles of Emile stretch of road
had to be taken up and relaid be-
fore the end of the first season.
In the writer's judgment, brick
has no legitimate place on Florida
country roads at the present time;
nor will it have until the popula-
tion of the State is ten times what
it is today. When the wonderful
natural resources of the State
shall have been developed; when
it's arabic lands shall be under full
cultivation; when its capacity for
and entertainment
shall have reached half their pos
perhaps a few main
roads of brick may be justifable.
Until then they are expensive, in
adequate, and ruinous to the best
interests Of Florida. Charles E.
Foote, in Engineering Record,

Our Easily Besetting Sin

"The man who is always in
debt and putting off Peter to pay
Paul has not a free mind. He
must run away from certain stern
facts of life in order to fool him
self into thinking that he is hap
Ipy. w. S. Parker.
Julius Rosenwald, Chicago mil
lionaire philanthropist, in a recent
newspaper interview said that
lack of thrift is our chief national
sin, and he said it even after the
European war had been in pro-
gress several months and the need
for common sense thrift in this
country had become more impera-
tive than ever. His words were :
Americans are the most reck-
less spenders in the world. The
average man in this country is
spending every dollar he makes,
and maybe more. The man who
follows this policy is facing power
.ty every day, The chief extrav
agances in this country are motor
cars, dress, home and other
means for making a show"
Mr.. Rosenwald was asked to
define "thrift," and replied: 81
don It know what Webster calls it,
but | would say that thrifty man
is one who spends less than he
earns"
That seems like a good defini-
tion and simple thing to do. But
how many of us ignore the wis
dom of it.
There was once an age in Amer
lea when the people knew some
thing of economy and when waste
was regarded as a sin. The wo-
man who turned the spinning
wheel knew about saving, and
used to teach their children the
little proverb about "Wilful
waste is woeful want" Poor
Richard s Almanac, which was
one of the original chest sellers"
of the United States, was the work
of a man who understood COM
pound interest from the point of
view of the saver.
Is it too much to hope that that
time will come again 1t is not
more than probable that the ex-
igencies of the present great con-
vulsion involving half the world
may compel us to choose the
straight and narrow path of econ
omy rather than the broad one of
extravaganza which as surely
leads to destruction of individual
and efficiency as to the
downfall of national prosperity ?

The county division PROPOSE
ton for DeSoto county promises
to be the nxet fight in both Houses
of a local character. Senator
Cooper has copy of a bill intro
duced by Representative Robson,
of Polk county by request, Repre-
sentative Langford, of DeSoto de-
clining to handle the bill that
would permit a county to be made
of the Charlotte Harbor district,
and known as Charlotte county.
There are many reasons advanc-
ed why the new county should be
| formed, and it is stated at the
Capitol that those who oppose the
division the strongest are the
county officials, whose salaries
might be reduced by the change.
1t is understood that it costs De
Soto $1,000 a year to make the
tax assessment and another 81 900
to collect the taxes, and that the
county clerk receives approximat-
ely $4,000 in fees.
1t has been pointed out by those
who favor the bill that every part
Of the county, except the section
around Arcadia has issued bonds
for good roads, and that such a
proposition at Arcadia, was voted
down at the last election.
The proposed Charlotte county
is already a special road district,
and is practically all of a special
school district, and these reasons
are being advanced for county di-
vision entirely. The only part
that would be changed would be
the elimination of the expense to
help maintain the present sections
of the county that would be left
out of Charlotte county. 1t is
claimed that the division making
Punta Gorda a county seat would
add materially to the develop
ment Of that section.
The boundary of the new coun-
ty as set forth in the bill is as fol-
lows:
Beginning on the Gulf of Mexi-
co as at the intersection of the di-
viding line between Manatee and
DeSoto counties on the Township
line dividing Townships 40 and Al
South, and running East to the
corner of Township 40
South Of range 81 East; thence
North to the northwest corner Of
40 South, range 81 East,
thence East on Township line di-
Townships 80 and 40 to
shore of Lake Okeechobee follow
thence southerly along western
shore Of Lake Okeechobee follow
ing the western boundary of
Palm Beach county to the Town
ship line dividing Townships AZ
and 43; thence West along said
line which is the north
ern boundary of Lee county to
the water of the Gulf of Mexico; ;
thence northerly along said shore
line to place of beginning.
