Wonder if the Albuquerque
IN. Nd Herald is any "kin" to
the Punta Gorda Herald? All of
you know what the Punta Gorda
Herald recently said, and here is
what the A. IN. M. J H. says;
"No matter if a man has a good
reputation for truth and veracity.
we always are Of the opinion that
he is not speaking his real senti-
ments when, as a defeated candi-

Lakeland Telegram: - Editor
Jordan, of the Punta Gorda Her,
aid, got up a cracker-jack editor
ial page a couple of weeks ago,
and he is disappointed that no
startling reforms or animated dis
cussions resulted therefrom. He
knows how to awaken interest,
however, and he hints that he is
going to discard his profound
philosophical dissertations, and
hand out some of his inimitable
fish stories. Philosophy or fish
story, if Jordan writes it, it is
mighty good stuff.

Their Most Important Duties

! The legislature never pays any
attention to what the newspapers
say; nevertheless, the newspapers
owe it as duty to the state to per-
sist in urging the enactment of
such laws as are very desirable
and will promote the best inter-
ests of all the people. The Her
aid, therefore, meekly suggests
that, amongst the most important
measures that should engage the
attention of the legislature, are
the following:
First Call a constitutional con-
vention.
Second--Make a re-apportion-
ment Of the membership in COM
pliance with the constitution,
which every member of the legis-
lature swears he will obey.
Third = Abolish all county
criminal courts of record existing
in counties of less than $4,000 pop
ulation.
Fourth-Abolish all the need
less officers. For example: three
"pure food" inspectors are one
too many.
Fifth-Reduce the salaries of
all state officials. Cut the COVER
ncr's salary FROM $4,000 to 81, 900
a year and the pay of The depart
ment heads from #3.6C0.00 to 3d.
10000. Good, competent men
can easily be secured to serve at
the reduced pay
Sixth-Put the county officials
especially the sheriffs, on a salary
basis. Retain the same fees and
turn the surplus into the general
fund. Taxpayers do not have to
pay the fees now charged and col
lected. "
Sevcnth-Repeal the Bryan pri-
mary law and the Trammell cor
rupt practices law and give us
some simple and sensible laws in
the place of them.
Eighth-Submit a constitutions
al amendment to eliminate from
the bill of rights of the constitp-
ton the words "good motives"
This, for the relief of the news
papers, which have been the vic
TINS of adverse legislation long
enough. Not all the politicians of
Florida grouped together have
done one-tenth as much for the
state as have the newspapers,
which, therefore, are entitled to
fair and liberal treatment.
Ninth Revise and amend the
criminal laws with view to the
better protection of. life and prop
erty. Stop the loop-holes in
them through which criminals es-
cape. Kill that damnable foolish
form prescribed for indictments
for murder. Let the indictment |
read something like this:
1--WE, the grand jury of Justice
county, do charge upon our oaths
that, in this county, during the
month Of June, A. d. 1917, John
Doe did willflly, feloniously andI
with malice aforethought kill andI
murder Richard Roe, for which
crime we recommend and demand

frank in stating that during my eight
years connection with our Legislature

Treasurer for two terms is an open

walls generally at the present time in

only too well aware that the tax rate
is increasing each year in manner not
warranted by our growth of population
or our increasing tendency towards
social legislation, and it surely there
fore becomes the duty of every citizen
to eliminate the voting away of public
money for purely log-rolling purposes |,

help me. If you stop a minute and
look up my record as State Treasurer.
