RAILROAD RATES

Memphis, Tenn, April Near
ly four hundred lumbermen and
manufacturers Of lumber met here
today with over thirty representa- :
tives Of the Southern Railway sys-
TENS to discuss amicably the rate
disputes. Cooperation between the
railroads and lumbermen is the
prime object and it is the largest
gathering Of the kind which has ev-
er assembled. The bone Of the con .
tention is the recent advances in
freight rates on lumber from south
ern and central hardwood lumber
districts. Several cases are now be-
fore the Interstate commerce com .
mission. including the advanced rate
case from the Mississippi valley to
Ohio river crossings. The lumber
men propose to place their books
and prove the profits. competitions
and that the requirements of their
business preclude their continuance
of operations on profitable basis
with the increased rates. They will
show what rates they can stand and
live. They will ask the railroads to
be equally frank and tell them the
exact cost of moving lumber from
southern fields. and the profits they
think should accrue to the railroad.

MORE ABOUT THAT
GREEN FRUIT DECISION

Washington. April THE Unit.
ed States supreme court in an opin
ion handed down Monday in the case
Of s. J. Sigh against James A i.
kirkwood. as sheriff OF Orange
county. decided the validity of the
Florida statute prohibiting the ship
ment OF immature citrus fruits.
Some time ago Sligh, big ship
per OF citrus fruits. was arrested on
three warrants by the sheriff of
Orange county, charging him with
a violation of the Florida laws. He
lost his case and by various steps IL
found its way to the supreme court
of the United Statse.
Mondays opnon after dvestng
the question of police powers and
other features connected with 1t, de-
clared that the Florida statute was
not in conflict with other laws,
hence should be valid 1t was also
declared that inasmuch as the citrus
fruit industry is among the largest
of all the Florida industries, IL was
only right and proper that suitable
laws should be enacted for its pro-
lection.
This is one of the most important
decisions. so far as Florida is con-
cerned. which has been handed
down in many years. The only real
issue involved was whether the
statute in question was valid or
whether It was in violation Of fed
eral laws and this was decided In
favor Of the state law.

TO LIMIT POWERS OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Tallahassee, April drastic leg
islation affecting the county com
missioners of Florida, is proposed
for this session; ad from the talk
especially among senators. the time
when the board of commissioners
shall have charge of the levy and
collection Of taxes and the expendi-
ture of the county moneys without
any oversight or supervision from
others is nearing its close,
Senator's admitted last night that
this is the subject of bill that is
being framed by certain members Of
their body. the provisions Of which.
not being entirely decided on. pre-
vents the bill from being given full
publicity.
The statement was made by one
senator in the presence OF others that
practically a majority of the coun-
ties of the state are in a deplorable
condition financially. not because of
graft but because of unbusinesslike
expenditures. misuse of public mon
eys and general lack of business
management. Because this condi-
tion is almost general, and because
1t is getting worse every year. the
sentiment over the state is rapidly
crystalizing for a radical change,
one that will ensure the proper
oversight of all money, the knowing
OF the place where it will be spent,
and assurance that the counties will
get value received for evrey dollar
that is collected and paid out in
every county.
