Turneth Away Wrath

IUrneth Away v rath-
The people of Escambia county are
clamoring for their county commits
sioners to abandon the unbusinesslike
method of building temporary roads
which wear out as fast as they can
be constructed, and for them to build
permanent highways. The board has
announced its willingness to fiddle if
the people want to pay for the I'D
ding. An agreement of this kind
turneth away wrath even where it
fails in the accomplishment of the
desired end.-Gainesville Sun.

Escamhia's Example


Now comes the report that Polk
county is to vote on the proposition
to issue one million dollars worth Of
bonds for the purpsc Of building good
roads. This is a progressive step
that will be Of untold benefit to the
county should it be carried through
No community can hope to prosper
until it has established a system, of
roads over which its productions can
be marketed at q reasonable. cost.
Many of Florida counties have e5-
tablished such roads, while others like
Polk county ard Escanbia county are
preparing to establish such by voting
bonds with which to secure the funds
to build them. Is it not about time
that Santa Rosa county took some
active measures to keep abreast Of
the procession, by building a system
of permanent reads instead of the
temporary kind that We have been
building in recent year5.-Milton Ga

Fine Spirit
The Pensacola Journal is urging 4

financial disasters. 1t is the right

The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-10-24

No Answer Possible
The Pensacola Journal comes out
in a ringing double-leaded editorial
declaring that Escambia county
should be bonded for $1,000 900 to
be expended for good roads and says:
They would double the value OF
practically every acre of farm land
IN the county. They would double
the population of the county outside
Of the city in five years. The new
settlers alone would pay enough taxes
to take care of this bond issue if
you want to figure it that way"
There is no answer possible to that
statement of the benefits to be de-
rived from such an expenditure, nor
to this further statement by the Jour
nal, which is as true for Polk as for
Escambia:
"The interest on 100000 at 4 1-2
per cent would be only $45 900 per
year. We are now spending for road
construction and maintenance (most-
ly maintenance which doesn't main
tain) $4,000 per year, just exactly
what the interest on bonds amounts
to. Lakeland Telegram.

At the recent wet and dry election
in Escambia county three men who

sion were permitted to go to their re-
spective precincts. under escort, to
cast their votes. One of the men has
to go AZ miles. The other two re-
snectively had to travel 80 and Is. BY
this it is inferred that interest was
running some high in that county

American state department against
the recent action of the Villa gov

the federal mining laws which they
consider viii make impossible the fur

From southern Mexico came a re-
port today OF trouble which may re-
suit in the eonfiscation OF other large
foreign-owned properties. A tele-
gram said that all properties around
6uanajuago, in the state of the same
name, closed operations last Monday
on account Of decree of the local
authorities there. This decree forced
the mining companies to pay their
employees in the gold standard and not

lated through the country.
