National Dress Up Week And
Trade-at-Home Movement

All over the United States Dress-Up
Week is being celebrated and this means
that in every community in the country
thousands of dollars are being spent with
the home merchant For wherever Dress
Up Week is the fashion, along with
it goes the Trade-At-Home movement.
The man or the woman who joins in the
National Dress-Up Campaign stands for
the home merchant and the home trade.
This Spring the merchants of Pensacola are
meeting the home needs as they have never
been met before, and it behooves all who
are interested in the growth of this city
and section to spend their money with
these men who do SO much for the develop
ment of Pensacola and West Florida.
Z There is no movement for the good OF
this city or section that the merchants of
Pensacola are not called upon.to support,
and they give their support most generous
w. Whatever movement is inaugurated
for the public good, the merchants are the
first called upon, and never fail to respond,
and it is doubtful if this fact is as fully APP
preciated as it should be. 1t is frequently
stated that whatever helps Pensacola helps
the merchants. But the fact is seldom
stressed that whatever hurts Pensacola
hurts the merchants.
There is nothing which hurts this city
or section so much as sending Pensacola
money out of Pensacola. If the people of
this city could be brought to realize the
injustice done, not only to the merchants
but to the city, in sending money out OF
town for goods which might be purchased
here with much greater satisfaction, and if
every penny earned in Pensacola were
spent in Pensacola, the National Dress-Up
Campaign would last, not for week, but
for the entire fifty-two weeks in the. year
and not only Pensacola merchants, but ali
Pensacola enterprises would enjoy an era
lof prosperity undreamed of.

Postmaster Burleson Advocates
Carving Mails on Basis of Space

Postmaster General Burleson thinks that
the railways should be paid for carrying the
mails on the basis of the space occupied by
the bags, instead of by weight.
This sounds reasonable.
Send a letter to the government of a
European nation, and see what kind of pa
per will bring back the answer Sometimes
you will get letter on heavy paper and in
thick envelope, but not often Usually
a government letter from Europe, like a
private letter, is on stationery which is
about quarter of the weight of the average
American letter
We all use paper which is heavier than
is necessary. If we used the thin paper of
European correspondence it would save us
millions Of dollars every year in taxation
for railway mail pay.
1t now costs two cents for each quarter
of an ounce of first class postage. The or
binary letter does not weigh quarter OF
an ounce. Weigh 90 letters-even the
heavy American letters-and you will find
that they weigh 80 per cent less than the
postage at the first class rate. In other
words, the government allows us to send
foolishly large letters at the minimum rate
An ordinary letter should weigh all tolc
not to exceed one-sixteenth of an ounce.

Trusts Now Claim Crude
Oil Supply Diminishing

When we were first told that the war
had batted up the price of gasoline, we ac-
cepted the sad tidings meekly, because the
war had boosted the prices of everything
else-why not gasoline?
But after the price of gasoline had adj
vanced so per cent the big oil corporations
had to find some other excuses, so they
told the consumers that the supply of crude
oil was diminishing.
This claim that there is an oil famine is
absolutely false It has been exposed in
the reports of the geologic survey, in the
reports of the federal trade commission,
and by Secretary Lane, who said in his re-
port to the United States senate that Is
per cent of the production of crude oil in
1915 was in storage at the end of the year.
What actually has happened to gasoline
prices was caused-but only indirectly
by the war.
The war shut off the foreign demand for
kerosene. 1t cut off the oil corporations
profits from this foreign rtade. And there
fore, in order to maintain it's dividends, the
oil trust now proceeds to pluck gasoline
consumers
And not that while gasoline prices have
gone up on per cent, the OIL companies nave
in some instances been paying 80 per cent
dividends!
One so per cent dividend was declared by
the Standard Oil company of California.
From the Philadelphia North American
we clip this:
Dividing profits that have been accu-
mulating for several years, directors Of. the
Pure Oil company, with headquarters in
the Lafayette building, this city, have de-
clared in addition to the regular dividend
of 6 per cent an extra cash dividend of so
per cent. The Sc per cent dividends amount
to Sc, $50, 1877
Consider, also, the remarkable dividend
declarations of the Standard oil group for
the last quarter of 1915, which reached the
astonishing total of $21, 788, $780,
Someone suggests that we skim the
Caribbean sea for gasoline-there are it
seems, unmeasureable quantities of oil in
the islands of that sea.
Such freak notion has its place-it re-
minds the public that before it becomes
necessary to skim the oil from the seven
seas, it might be just as we'll to get Uncle
Sam to manage our oil and refining bust
ness for us, right at home.

POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.
Looking Them Over

Looking Them Over
Governor TrammeIl has as much
right as any man to aspire to the of
fee of senator. But he has no right
to take the time the state pays him
for to attack Senator Bryan and then
criticise Bryan for defending himself
against attacks. It's the Stars opin-
ion that Governor TrammeH would
shine more brightly If he had simply
announced his candidacy, pointed to
his record and then stayed at the
capital, attending to the states BUSH
ness. The state is not paying either
Gilchrist or Wall a salary, and yet
they are not attacking Bryan. The
attacks of Trammell on Bryan are all
stage thunder, anyhow. The COVER
nor has devoted several times as
much time as Bryan to working for
the nomination, and his virtuous in
dignation at certain acts he ascribes
to the senator is all assumed for eff
feet. If he is nominated he will begin
to work for denomination as soon as
he is in his seat, and if, six years
from now, he isn't away from Wash
ington electioneering it will be be-
cause in the intervening time he has
built up machine that he thinks will
secure him the necessary votes

AUDITOR ExPLODES CHARGES
BROUGHT BY COMMISSIONERS


Editor Pensacola Journal:
Referring to the commissioners
letter published in your paper Of
Monday and IN reply thereto.
With reference to one of my pre-
vious audits, covering that period
that between May 1, 1913, and June
1, 1914, they state that I reported
as follows: Cali funds handled,
properly accounted for"
My report, made at that time,
which is now on file with the com
missioners; stated as follows:
s'The system under which the va
rious departments of the city handled
the funds of the city during the pc
Rod of this audit (and for a number
of years previous to this) is a very
unsatisfactory and loose one. There
are several employees who handle cash
under this system and no one of them
is at any time checked until an audi
tor is employed at the end of year
or longer, to check up the work Of
all. This method is not only unbusi-
nesslike, but will sooner or later gel
some one into serious trouble"
I then suggested and outlined Z
system in this report, which, had i
been adopted, would have given
complete daily check on all fund,
handled by the several heads of de
partments who were receiving publ,
funds. Concluding this report,
called attention to what had hap
pened under the system in vogue, Al
follows:
License Department-The deposi
tory for this fund, up to the time o
| its failure, was the Pensacola Stat
Bank. The bank was supposed to d
all of the collecting and issue a re
ceipt to each citizen paying. Thi
receipt would be presented to tn
comptroller and license issued by hin
Instead of this being adhered to, tn
comptroller was collecting for license
at the same time and would make de
posts at various times on account Q
his collections, receiving a receipt i
his favor from the bank reading fo
various licenses, so much. The cor
sequence has been a shortage amount
ing to $2,659.45."
Then I added:
"0ther City Departments A
funds handled, properly accounte
for"
Two thousand dollars of the shor+
age above referred to has since bee
recovered from a bond company: tn
remaining s659.45 is still unrecovere,
In the face of this report made Z
the conclusion of the audit referre
to, cannot understand why the con
missioners should now make Il
statement that reported: "AH funC
handled, properly accounted for"

BRYAN FOR
THE SENATE
kIssImmse vaIIsy Gazette.

To many Of the people of osceola
county, where he spent his boyhood
DAYS, where he rode horseback and 1
drove cattle, no other name is used
when referring to United States Sem
ator Nathan P. Bryan. It Is q name
he loves. 1t is the name that calls
back to his memory the happy, care"
free days of boyhood and young ham
hood. So it is that he likes to come
among the people who salute him
with 'cHowdy, Tobe," and tonight
he comes to Kissimmee as the proper
place in which to deliver the key
note speech of his campaign for re-
election.
We welcome Senator Bryan and
with that welcome we wish TO an
nounce our intention to support him
for reelection.
Because we happen TO disagree
with Senator Bryan upon one of the
elements which has been an issue in
the present campaign we feel that
our decision to support him is based
upon firner and more solid founda-
] ton than that Of others. Behind it
all we see man Of principle, not a
man OF policy; a man who thinks for
himself and having thought has the
courage to support the decision he
reaches.
When the state democratic execu-
tive committee adopted the now IA
nous qualification resolutions some
time ago we publicly expressed our
opinion that a mistake had been made
in so far as resolutions 4 and wsre
/ concerned. Senator Bryan strongly
favored these resolutions, and de-
spite whatever political effect his
stand would have, he publicly stated
his opinion and gave his re5sons
therefor.
The committee subsequently re-
pealed the Objectionable resolutions.
| So it is plain that upon this point we
differ with the senator, but in differ
ing We feel we are in nowise lessened
IN our admiration for hina as a man,
or as a public servant. He has his
right to viewpoint, and we do not
believe that his opinion or stand upon
this incidental matter has anything
whatever to do with his qualifications
for the high Office to which he seeks
reelection.
! We firmly believe that Nathan P.
) Bryan can render more effective ser
vice to the state Of Florida and the
nation as one of the two senators
from this state than any other man
in the race. Ordinarily, although moi
always, we believe any man, in keep
) ing with democratic cugtom, shoulf
be honored with a second term a
, United States senator Being more
! familiar with his duties and the rou,
/ tine connected herewith, he is fitted
J to render better service than In hi
. first term.

Secretary of the Navy Saving
millions of the Peoples Money

Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels,
according to George Creel in special arti-
Gle written for the New York World, is
saving millions of the peoples money
from the traffickers in armor plate and
munitions"
Here are some of the main reasons given
by the writer in The World, reasons which
go to show why the 100000 investment
sof the United States at Pensacola is not
now going to waste, but is being conserved
Fas an aviation training school for the navy:
When Josephus Daniels took office
he found an investment of millions in
navy yards going to waste. Many
stations were closed and the others
were used for petty repairing so as not
to infringe upon the profits of private
companies. Secretary Daniels opened
them up for real business, and today
every one is aiding naval construction
and saving millions Two dread
noughts are building at New York,
and the keel of a third will be laid this
summer; manufacture of torpedoes
has reduced the cost over 81, 900 per
torpedo; airships are building at
Washington; Charleston is manufac-
turing clothing stores and torpedo
boat destroyers; mines are being turn
ed out at Norfolk at saving of $170
per mine; submarines are under con-
struction at Portsmouth, N. H., and at
Puget Sound; transport at League
Island, supply ship at Boston, bat
tleship, two fuel ships and DESTROYER
at San Francisco, and the 100000
investment at Pensacola, abandoned by
Meyer, is being used as an all-year-
round aviation school

Not TrivialIv Ambitious-

Not Tr1vially Ambitious
Senator Nathan Bryan has again
given evidence that he is not trivially
ambitious by refusing the chairman
ship of the committee on pensions to
which his seniority entitled him upon
the death of Senator Shively. Bryan
vacated his claims in favor of SEN
ator Johnson of Maine, the next rank
ing democrat. It is stated that no
little uneasiness was felt IN certain
quarters at the prospect of Florida
man occupying such position. It is
evidently better for northern man
to have the craftsmanship of this COM
mittee, and Senator Bryan is to be
congratulated upon his decision.-St
Augustine Record.

Tie Great Sacrifice

Still there are no announcements
for the legislature in Pensacola or
Escambia county. Are there no good
men who would sacrifice themselves
for the peoples interests during sixty
days of 1917? No man who would
not be making sacrifice in going
to the legislature is hardly worth
while, for the average wage Garner
earns as much as legislator per
diem.-Oscar Johnson in Times

Now, instead of the taxes being

possible was accomplished-that they
were all collected, dollar for dollar
, the administration would have $685.
930.19 more cash to apply against
the above S107, 327.39, which would
still have left a difference of SAL
1920, which means that the admin
istration's expenditures would have
exceeded all of their current fund coll
lections (conceding the above sug-
gested impossible tax collection), by
the sum of Sal 1920.
This certainly explodes the COM
missioners' argument that present
financial conditions are entirely due
to bad collections.
The required number Of qualified
voters under the law petitioned the
/ governor of Florida for a full and
complete audit of the commissioners
administration. In response to the
petition the governor appointed me
to do the work at the agreed price
of SO per day, although my usual
price for such work is $3.50 per day,
and the commissioners have paid an
other auditor $3.50 per day for work
done, which fact is shown in my re-
port.
The governors commission to me
reads as follows, in part, viz:
81, Park Trammell, governor of the
state of Florida, hereby designate
and name Frank B. Hagerman of the
city of Pensacola as state examiner
Of public accounts for the express
purpose of making an audit of tbs
