Average Value of Cattle In Florida
Will Be Greatly Increased

With the convention of farmers and
stock growers in DeFuniak on Wednesday,
West Florida took one of the most impor-
tant steps in all its history Of progress.
Florida may yet be the greatest cattle pro
ducing state in the Union. There are thou
sands of acres of good grazing land in the
state; the best of hay may be profltably
grown here, at negligible expense, and
the importation of blooded stock IS con-
stantly on the increase.
Commenting on the possibilities for the
cattlemen in Florida an exchange says:
In Illinois, for instance, the average
value of cattle is $73; in Florida, it is
So. The average weight of Wisconsin
cattle is 963 pounds; of Florida cattle
it is 553.
These figures are worth thinking over.
Consider what it would mean in Florida
today, even with the cattle production the
state now has, if the value of cattle per
head were the same in the state, as in the
middle west.
There is no reason why this should not
be SO. Out on many of the western ranges
the herds are grazed on land that would be
III dllq ulllCIllIC, were IL uOI LOT 1TIlSd-
ton The reclamation of the west was a
far more stupendous task than the recla-
nation of the cattle of the south from the
devastating tick
It takes work, and cooperative work to
accomplish anything. With these West
Florida will win its fight against the cattle
tick, as other sections of the country have
won, and will become, as it should become
one of the great stock producing sections
of the country.

Humanity Demands The
Capture of Bandit Villa

1t should be source of qualification to
all Floridians that the Florida delegation
in congress stood solidly behind President
Wilson in the recent armed ship contro-
versy, which is evidenced by consulting the
congressional record giving the vote in the
house and the senate. In the three votes
taken on the McLemore resolution, the
Florida delegation in both houses of con-
gress, with one exception, voted with the
administration Representative Clark did
not vote, but was paired in favor of pre-
paredness.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
present invasion of Mexico, whatever com
plications may arise, it behooves the people
of the United States to stand together in
this tremendous crisis in the nations his
tory
Our forefathers fought, and many of
them died, because Davy Crockett, the gal
liant Bowie, and other brave men were
butchered. Remember the Alamo" was
the battle cry of our country when in 1916
we conquered Mexico. Our cause was just
then And it is just today.
But let us not be blinded by the fires of
battle, or deafened by the roar of guns to
the voice of humanity.
We are entering Mexico to resent
the crimes committed against humanity,
against the homes and the hearthstones of
our people. Not for vengeance but for the
righteous retribution. Not for business
reasons. Not for political reasons.
Let us bear these facts in mind, "1est we
forget" and in the every day walks of life
as we'll as in the halls of congress, let US
stand together for justice and liberty for
all men.

Miles of Prosperity
Measured BY Car Shortage

Railroad payrolls and freight conditions
are usually regarded as first symptoms of
good or bad business. The average man
seldom pays much attention to this test,
but just now there is a glut of traffic from
which some interesting estimates of pros
perity can be figured
According to the last report of the Amer
lean Railway association, there was net
shortage of 20,551 freight cars on March 1.
A year ago there was surplus of 321, TAT
idle cars. This difference makes peculiar
measure of business Improvement in the
past wear. Allowing fifty feet to a car,
there are now 5000 miles more freight in
progress of transportation than there was
year ago.
If the additional 20,551 cars which are
now needed were actually available, this
would mean another 200 miles of freight,
or a string of cars stretching from Boston
to San Francisco.

PENSACOLA AND

Senator Ion L. Farris, who address,

wish that he could meet all Of his OPP

On Salary Basis

Hon. F. A. Wood, of Pinellas, coun-
ty candidate for governor of Flor
ida, was in Crestview for short
while Sunday, on his first tour Of
West Florida in the interest Of his
candidacy. He is making the trip in
an automobile, and went from here
via Milton to Pensacola to attend the
Mardi Gras and become acquainted
with citizens of the Deep Water City.
Mr.. Wood is running of the plat
form of abolishing the fee system.
He declares that to place county Off
Gals on salary basis would be the
greatest saving that could be brought
about, both to the counties and state,
and he is telling the voters of the
state how it can be done.-Okaloosa

Auditors Report Reveals a
Deplorable Condition of Affairs

Auditor Hagerman, appointed by the
governor several months ago to make
complete investigation of the accounts OF
the city of Pensacola from the date the
commission form of government was in
augurated to October /, 1915, period OF
two years and four months, has completed
his audit.
The Journal is not aware of what is con-
tanned in the full report, but it has before it
a summary of the auditors work, and this
reveals deplorable condition of affairs, a
condition that is irimical to the best inter-
ests of the city and one that requires care
full consideration on the part of every clti-
zen of Pensacola.
Tt appears from comments made by the
auditor in parts of the summary that very
serious mistakes have been made by the
commissioners, not only in handling the
city's finances. but in other departments of
the government. For instance, the auditor
in one paragraph refers to the city's unpaid
bills amounting to $24, 94637, and short
age of S27, 1888 of ordinance require
ments in the sinking fund, while the total
funds available to meet this Indebtedness
Of $50, 1920, aggregate only $4,9Of.41.
At another place in his summary the
auditor refers to the amount of coal pur-
chased for use of the waterworks depart
ment, and says that for the period covered
by the audit there was difference of
1,000.25 tons of coal between the amount
paid for and the amount consumed.
Referring to the collection of personal
taxes the auditor says that in October,
1915, all of the personal taxes uncollected,
good and bad, were written off the books
and the procedure for the other years
covered by the audit was the same, the
total amount thus being written off reach
ing about $4,000
The audit embraces all of the depart
ments of the government, handling each
under separate head, and the comment of
the auditor on each of these departments
reveals sad lack of judgment on the part
of the commissioners
The Journal is publishing in its news
columns this morning some extracts taken
from this summary of the auditor Much
OF the summary refers to certain schedules
in the full report and therefore only that
part of it where the auditor felt called upon
to make comment, can be used independent
OF the full audit This audit has been placed
in the hands of the city commissioners and
as the law, which created the commission
form OF government, requires its publica-
ton, 1t is presumed the commissioners will
make it public at an early date in order that
the citizens, to whom they are responsible
may know exactly the city's condition.
