Rail Rates Aired.
Railroad rates again occupied the
senate. The question came up on
adopting the Phelps resolution, which
called upon the public service com
mission to inform the senate whether
Gin its opinion the present rates are
sufficient to yield a reasonable com
p%ensation for the service rendered,
and are unjust and unreasonable, and
il they are, why does not the commits
sion exercise the power vested in
them to fix rates that are just and
reasonable?"
The resolution as amended and
finally adopted reads this way:
Resolved, That the commission in
form the senate whether or not in it's
opinion the present rates are insult
ficient to yield a reasonable compen-
sation for the service rendered and
are unjust and unreasonable"
The commission, through its chair
man, John M. Atkinson, stated after
the adoption of the resolution that it
would gladly comply with the request
of the senate for information under
the Morton and Phelps resolutions.
There was the daily deluge of petit
tions and letters filed in the senate
asking for increased freight and pas,
senger rates for the roads.
Senator Moore of Barton, who rep
resents a district in which there is
one of the largest railroad centers in
the state, Springfield, presented 80 pc
titions and 1913 letters asking for the
rate increases.
Other rate increase petitions came
from Senators Ford, Crossley, Harris,
Warner, Greene, Hawkins, Gardner,
Mitchell, WEIGH and Buford.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE

While the Banner is in the business
of scoring the city council for pass
ing a petition, without reading the
names signed to it, it might score the
council of last year for doing prac-
tically the same thing.
A petition in regard to Ocala's cleo
trio business was presented to the
council last summer. 1t was in the
interest of the taxpayers and con-
sumers of current, and was largely
signed by them. 1t was presented to
the council in due form, and a num-
Der of the signers were present. The
petition was simply filed for informa-
ton, and the signatures to it were
not read. There were about 200 sig
natures to the petition.
There was no complaint by the
Banner of the unfairness of this. 1t
seemed to think it was all right and
the regular procedure.
VIII the Banner please explain why
it was right and proper for the coun-
Gil of 1914 to pass over a petition
without reading it, or the names sign

A SQUARE DEAL IN GUM SHOES

The Banner this morning prints the
two amendments desired by Mr.
Camp to the Ocala charter, both Of
which would have been passed with
out the people of the city knowing
anything about them if it hadn't been
that Senator Terrell thought they de-
served at least a notification.
In speaking of the amendments,
the Banner says:
''The voters of this city are entitled
to fair, square, honest deal; that is
all they ask, and that much they have
a right to demand of the Senate of
Florida"
In this, the Banner is correct; but
who ever heard of a square deal
wearing gum shoes?
1t occurs to the Star that the Ban
ner is rather late in the day.
Why were not these two amend
ments published two months ago?
Why didn't Mr.. Camp, who is an
acknowledged success with petitions,
publish his amendments, take around
d pSIlIlOh " nave luSln duOpleus Sc
cure the signatures of a majority, or
at least a respectable minority, of
his fellow citizens, and carry the said
petition to Tallahassee and work for
it in the full knowledge of the peo-
pie of Ocala?
The Banner says:
at is furthermore believed that it
is largely opposed by those who
would have the public welfare subser-
Went to private interests"
Now, isn't that nerve for you? The
amendments were devised by a pri-
vate interest to take from the people
public property. One of the amend
ments, if passed, will allow any big
electric trust that takes a fancy to
Ocala's business (and one such trust
has already been investigating it) or
any other large corporation, for in
stance, the telephone octopus, to
bring on an election any time it
chooses by the simple expedient of
going around and buying the sig
natures of the irresponsible element.
Is there no danger in that for peo-
pie who have paid taxes for a score
of years to build up a property of
their own?
Of the other amendment, the best
that can be said of it is that it is un-
necessary.

OH, HEAVENS!
WHAT AN OUTRAGE!

Besides this, Mr.. Camp, through
Mr.. Norman Pratt, got up petition
containing more than three hundred
signatures which was presented to
the city council on the night of April
7th, praying that body to give the
proposition made by the Florida
Power Company careful investigation
and due consideration. Those more
than three hundred signers believed
that the proposition was meritorious,
but the petition was pigeon-holed
without the signatures being read.
(See Ocala Daily Banner, April Sth).
Banner, 26th.
The Banner, by this extremely i'm
partial statement tries to create the
impression that the said petition was
vital matter to all who signed it,
and that their request was treated
with contempt.
Nothing could be much further
from the truth-the Banner is simply
trying to make capital against the
council.
The reason why the clerk did not
read off the names of the signers of
the petition was that every member
of the council had seen the petition
and the list of signatures to it, and
was much more familiar with it than
the Banner was. The council had met
for a long evenings work, and there
was no reason why it should waste
ten minutes or more while the clerk
petition was not "pigeon-holed." 1t
was carefully put away with the
other official papers, and if anybody
wants to see it, the clerk can produce
it in two minutes.
Who was present to hear this long
list of names read? Nobody except
the councilmen, the clerk, two report
ers and less than dozen citizens,
nearly all of whom were as familiar
with the petition as the councilmen.
Nearly everybody in town knows
what the petition is. Mr.. Pratt car
ried it around for weeks and obtained
some 800 signatures to it. Some of
| the signers were not voters and a
large number were not taxpayers or
consumers of current. A large num-
Der of the signers, as the Star pos
itively knows, are opposed to the city
giving up its electric plant and sign
ed the petition to oblige Mr.. Camp.
A good many more signed the petit
ton for the same reason that people
sign any petition that is showed at
| them.
The council did not act on the petit
ton for the reason that it did not
have the legal right to do so. There
was no authority in the charter for it
to make an appropriation for the pur-
pose asked. The superintendent of
the city plant could give the council
all the information it needed. That
wasn't the matter before the council
A majority of them had been elected
as a straight-out notification that the
people of Ocala don't want their cleo
trio business taken out of their
hands. The council had also been in
structed by the election of Oct. %
1914, to sell bonds for the construc-
ton of a new electric current plant
and in refusing all attempts to do
otherwise was simply following the
path of not only its implied but its
sworn duty.

The "home rule" bill, which per-
mits municipalities to change their
charters without appealing to the leg
islature, has passed the Senate and is
said to be assured of speedy passage
in the House. If the measure is
properly drawn, it will prove great
thing for the state It will, to begin
with, save the legislature about sew
enty-five per cent of the work it is
now called upon to do, in determin-
ing matters of purely local legisla-
ton. Again, it will permit the peo-
pie of towns and cities to effect de-
sired changes in their organic law by
their own votes, without submitting
them to the wire-pulling and dicker-
ing of the politicians.-Tampa Tri-
bune.
If the legislature does not pass
this law, it will be because it is I'M
willing to give the people the power
they are entitled to. Under the pres
ent system there can be no certainty
in city government. Every time the
legislature meets, some man or com
bination of men is likely to go to
Tallahassee and buy, bully or sneak
thru some measure that a majority
of his fellow citizens do not want.

CHIEF STATIONS ANNUAL REPORT
Fire Department Responded to PIP Alarms During Year Garages Increasing Hazard Recommendation in-
 clude Motor Apparatus for GreenevilIe and Greater K Protection for ThamesviIe

The department has responded to PIP alarms of fire Chief Howard l.. Stanton's annual report, presented to the court of common council showed. This WIS 31 less than last year which was 243- Eleven alarms were for fires beyond the city limits, assistance being requested by telephone. The greatest distance travelled was to the fire at Wilimantic January g. 1915. The largest fire out of the city that the department was called upon to render assistance was at Taftville, May 30 1915. At this fire ten build ings were destroyed in addition to small sheds. The auto chemical re- sponded at. the first call but was of little assistance owing to very low water pressure Engine Co- No. 1 was then ordered into service, pump ing seven hours and was the means of saving considerable property.
 Largest Loss at Bailey Building.
 The largest loss of the year oc- cured June at the Bailey building causing a damage of about S10,000 in cluding the exposure losses on both sides of the Bailey building
 Condition of Stations.
 The stations remain in the same condition as reported one year ago, all in service except the station at Thamesville which is used only for storage, and all being in a fair state of repair.
 This station at ThamesviIle should be equipped with motor apparatus and a company assigned to protect a section that has been growing rapid ly.
 All stations received some repairs, the largest amount being at the sta- tion in the ~Greeneville district hous- ing Engine and Truck g. At this station a new hard wood floor was laid upstairs and the walls decorated and the woodwork vanished. All the above repairs were made at Truck No. 2 side of the station
 Repairs are needed on the old sta ton at the Falls known as No. 8. At this station a new bathroom should be installed upstairs. the one now In use being in the cellar. A new floor must be laid at the Central station ap- paratus room.
 Should Overhaul Chemical Apparatus Most apparatus connected with the department is in need of repairs. All of the chemical combinations should be overhauled this year unless it is intended to displace them with motor apparatus, which would be the most economical thing to do.
 Auto Put Out 80 Per Cent. of Fires
 The one automobile combination chemical and hose car has continued to do good service, having responded to all alarms and extinguished about 80 per cent of all fires, without the help of other apparatus. While the automobile is not maintained for the benefit of our neighbors in adjoining towns. yet we could not have rendered the assistance that has been asked of the department without the auto mobile apparatus.
