Pensacola's Claims AS
Seen In Jacksonville
TImes-UnIon

Pensacola is endeayoring to secure
such improvements in her navy yard
as will put 1t abreast of the best in
the country and as soon as the infor-
nation circulates over the country we
will hear cries of porkl porkIl from
all over the land. Those who have all
they wish and more than they are en-
titled to denounce as pork barrel leg
islation all efforts TO secure deserved
appropriations for other quarters.
The Times Uunion is a Florida
paper and Pensacola is a Florida city.
With some this viii be complete ex-
PLANTATION of why we favor the claims
of that city. But the Times-U Union
enjoys the distinction of being one of
the papers that have not fought for
everything for their state, right or
wrong. When the duty on citrus fruits
was under discussion the Times Union
said reduce it along with the rest. It
was not in favor of tariff reduction
on the products of distant states and
opposed to it on the products of its
own state.
If men would be honest there could
be no difficulty in securing for the
Pensacola navy yard all that is asked
for it. It is located on the gulf and
is nearer the Panama canal than any
other navy is. This means it is nearer
the naval scene of war than any of
the others. We have not counted the
foolishly located naval base mt Guam
tanamo because, being on an island
and therefore requiring part of our
navy to keep in communication with
it, it would prove useless if war were
declared.
Pensacola has the cheapest coal
that is found at any navy yard in
the United States and the cheapest
iron and steel products that are used
in building or repairing ships. She
has as cheap labor as any if not
cheaper than any.
The North Atlantic coast is dotted
with navy yards so close together
that a number of them could be
abandoned without serious loss. The
gulf coast is very poorly provided
Pensacola has water deep enough for
the biggest battleship that has been
provided for or even contemplated
and yet she has that water so nearly
surrounded by land that it would be
easy of defense.
