Mr.. NUGENT REPLIES
TO MR.. LIGHT

Editor Star: Mr.. L. S. Light in a
recent publication criticises the finan-
cial statement of the clerk and board
of county commissioners, stating that
ment were not correct by a large
amount, etc. This particular financial
statement as it happens was made
under the direct supervision. of dep
uty auditor of the state of Florida,
and when sent to Tallahassee, balanc-
ed TO cent in every fund. A synop-
sis of this statement was published
by the comptroller, and not by the
clerk or the board of county COM
missioners, and this synopsis was pub
lished for some reason in two sep
and familyarate parts.
As to the valuation of the school
houses, and school property, / am I'M
able to say just how those figures
were arrived at. I will also say that
there is a large amount of humbug in
making any howl about this valua-
ton as it is matter of plain COM
mon sense that a school house will
hold just as many children, be worth
just as much money, and, generally,
be just as valuable to the people of
the county whether valued at ten
cents, ten dollars or ten thousand dol
lars, in mere financial statement.
Some time ago, Mr.. Light publish
ed statement about the cost of the
Silver Springs road which was simply
an absurdity in its gross exaggera-
ton and utter inaccuracy. He rushed
into PRINT and called on the state at
torney, the judge of the circuit court,
and the grand jury TO investigate the
county commissioners, etc., and the
clerk made it a point to go before
that grand jury, call their special at
tention to Mr.. Lights heroic letter
and ask them to say in plain English
whether they endorsed the commits
sioners. Their presentment, a public
record of the county, is plain, un-
equivocal endorsement of the county
commissioners and sufficient an
swer to Mr.. Light. He is again wrong,
and unnecessarily wrong.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Light
knew nothing practically about the
financial statement" law passed by
the legislature of which he was a
member, until he learned about it
from other people long after his re-
turn from the legislature. This law
in many respects, is foolish law. A
foolish law because it requires a
statement to be made January LIST
embracing facts as to cancelled war
rants that every banker in Ocala
knows that the clerk and commission
ers cannot possibly know until after
January LIST, but especially fool.s,
| law because it forces the clerk anC
commissioners under a tomfoolery
penalty of $4,000 to make a state
knowledge and belief, as to the Who'll,
business of the school board, sub
schools and all-matters that they
have nothing in the world to do will
or have no control over, and Mr.
Lights very accurate vision is re
spectfully directed here to the fac
that the financial statement of tn,
clerk and commissioners is made up
and made up in large part, from dat;

flee, and about matters that they hav
no more control over, absolutely, thar

FINE CALENDARS FOR
NINETEEN FIFTEEN


The Star has received from Sena-
tor Fletcher a hand some calendar
printed in the government printing
office, Of which it bears an illustra-
ton. The calendar is business
looking piece Of work, and will re-
mind US, every time we look at it
that Florida in Fletcher has a mighty
good business man representing it in
the United States Senate.
With the beginning of the year, the
Ocala National Bank is as usual
sending out pretty and useful cal.

calendar, invaluable to the busy bus
mess man, who always wants one on
the wall of his Office where it will
look him plainly and emphatically in
the face fifty times a day The other
is picture of lovely girl, and is so
pretty that everybody wants one. The
bank is sending them principally to
its lady customers for their boudoirs,
but quite a number of them have
been swiped by the boys, who put
them under their pillows to dream on.
The Munroe & Chambliss National
Bank has, as usual, presented its
friends with calendars on the first of
the year. 1t has this year two sizes
one, big wall calendar, with
figures big enough to be seen across
the room and ornamented with a
superb illustration of the California
coast, "The Pacific at Monterey, .

object to look at as we'll as most use

calendar is dainty enough for the

BELL|GERENT YAQU|S
SCORN CIVILIZATION.
Tribe Never Has Been Con
quered-Mexican Revolts Led
Them to Warpath.

Nogales Ariz June 3o.-.AIthough
the Yaqui Indians of Sonora are said
to have declared war on the United
States--at least so far as American
settlers in their region are concerned
and United States warships have been
dispatched to cope with the situation
information as to the process by which
this declaration of war was made is
still lacking. 1t is known that the tribe
retains political organization What
appears to be an almost mythical s,l-
preme chief reigns in the hills above
their valley and is said to direct the
actions of the minor chiefs who have
taken groups of the tribe into the Mex
ican warfare.
Although they have been in almost
constant warfare since the organZa
tion of the Mexican nation. the Yaquis
never have been fully conquered or
won over to European civilization. But
their struggle against the advance of
civilization did not assume threatening
proportions until the recent revolution
ary activities gave them modern war
munitions and military training. Pre-
viously this most warike Mexican In
dian had confined himself to guerilla
fighting. The arming of the Yaquis to
take part in Mexico's domestic quarrel
made possible their more extensive
military movements threatening not
only the American colonists in the
Yaqui valley about Guaymas. but the
sovereignty of the Mexican race along
that rich portion of the west coast.

London, June 30.-Following the an
nouncemcnt of Premier Asquith that
the people of England must cut down
on their scale of living in order to
meet the financial exigencies of war,
plans are being formulated for a great
national thrift campaign backed by
parliament.
England, since the war began. has
gone on living pretty much after the
same fashion AS in times of peace.
"Business as usual" has been the Slo-
gan. Work has been plentiful and the
laborers prosperous. No labOring man
in England need be out OF job. The
abundance of money and good times.
together with the spirit of optimism
over England's financial ability to meet
the demands of the war, have encotlr-
aged rather than discouraged, individ
ual expenditures on a broad scale.
But just az England has been
brought to a realization of her indus
trial needs, so have the high English
officials come to realize that the ever
increasing war debt is fast becoming
a burden that the revenues and re-
sources Of the kingdom cannot bear
without sacrifice.
Discussing the necessity for national
thrift, Premier Asquith said:
Waste on the part of either indi
viduals or classes. which always l.
foolish and short sighted. is in these
times nothing short of national dan
| ger"
TIE premier then proceeded to in
| u,lire how country which normally
had only a3Oo.OOO.00O or ;e40O,00O,00
of sterling to spare yearly. could gel
this huge unprecedented draft out ol
! its resources. He discussed as imprac-
| ticable the idea of selling investments
in property or of borrowing abroad.
| "The amount that could be raised
| abroad in comparison to the sum re
quired," he said. would be practical
! ly infinitesimal and IL it were possible
on any considerable scale we should
have to face the prospect of ending

\ The only other course. he declared
was that his countrymen should di-
minish their expenditures and increase
ltheir savings Mr.. Asquith continued:
