In view Of the disproportionate In
crease of accidents In Ohie industries
and in view of the insolent attitude on
the part OF certain state medical ex-
aminers, question has been raised that
the effort to harm the wOrkman's
compensation law has been carried in
Go another direction. Thus far un-
successful in every attempt the state
administration may now attempt to
make good with the liability insurance
companies which aided in it's election
by negligence in the present work. II
is notorious that many claims have
not lbeen given proper consideration
,at the hands of those in charge of the
state medical inspection department,
and there are rum0rs Of irregularity
in the matter of fees. Complaints are
made openly that injured persons
have not been taken care OF az
promptly as they should he. and IL is
becoming manifest that there is need
for executive attention by friendly
executive.
People OF the state. and especially
ahose vitality interested. have borne
patiently until now with the various
attempts to- destroy or discfedit the
state compensation system. The dag
OF reckoning is ut hEaS.

While State Tax Commissioners
James Boyle inundated himself on
8he altar of political expediency to
save Governor Willis from the just
storm OF indignation arising under the
arbitrary increase feature Of his pet
taxation law, the Franklin county
board of revision refused to be made
goats" in the same manner. Having
arbitrarily inceased the taxation re
turns OF some $4,000 taxpayers under
orders and under the law, they feel
that they have done their duty, and
they are now demanding public hear
ing to justify themselves and place
the blame where 1t belongs.
Had it not been for the early dis
covery OF conditions and exposure
thereof there would have been many
other explanations demanded through.
out the state. AS it Is, there have
been thousands of arbitrary increases
everywhere Of which the people will
not learn until they go to pay their
taxes in December, Sept 6 having
been the last day for filing complaints.
Taxpayers sorrowfully remember
that last December in 30 per cent Of
the subdivisions of the state they
found their rates had been increased.
Again rates are going up, and the
coming December will find that pay
ments have gone to the limit.
Democrats in their platform did
well to pledge a repeal OF the present
unjust law and the substitution in its
place Of a taxation system in accord
with just and enlightened principles
of government, that will deal fairly
and honestly with the taxpayers.
1t is to be remembered that the
Democrats also pledged the Demo.
cratic Legislature, when chosen, to en-
act no law that will take away from
the local taxing subdivisions the pow
er Of selecting their own ASSESSORS.

In arranging for the bond issue
recently voted for good roads by
Polk county, those in charge of the
campaign overlooked nothing that
was considered beneficial to the
county's interests. A feature which
we have all along regarded as Of no
small Importance is the agreement
with the contractors whereby all
labor, teams, material and supplies
incident to the construction Of the
road system, must be secured, so far
as possible, in this county. Com
menting on this arrangement, the
Orlando Reporter-Star makes the
following observations:
Polk county has made an excel
lent business agreement with the
contractors who are to build its sys-
tenn of roads, which will cost one
and a half million dollars. The con-
tractors are to employ within the
county all the labor posslDle 10 get
these, and are to use such materials
in asphalt construction as can be
found in Polk county. The terms OF
this agreement were dictated by a
far-sighted policy of self preserva-
ton. The result will be that two
thirds of the cost of the road system
will be kept at home and turned in
to the channels of local trade. In
this way Polk county will reap a
double benefit from its road system.
which is to be completed within a
year after work is started. 1t is cal
culated that the system will be fin
ished during the latter part of next
year, since it will probably be the
fall of the present year before work
is begun"

CITRUS CROP SHORTAGE
INDICATED THIS YEAR

All indications thus far point to a
shortage in the citrus crop for this
year, according to C. G. Hare, field
agent for the United States Bureau
of Crop Estimates in Florida. Esti-
mated by the bureau this month,
citrus is given IS per cent of nor
NAL; this being even below the esti-
mate of last month.
The bloom has been drawn Out
over the whole spring and some Of
the groves are still blooming. Fruit
on the trees is in all stages of devel.
opment, and this would indicate the
ripening of fruit through a long pc
riod. Similar conditions prevailed in
the State several years ago without
resulting in much damage.

At The Baptist

The Odd Fellows Worshiped at the

gala of their order, and standing
for the principles of friendship, love
and truth, they were given well

pastor, expressing his appreciation
of their presence. The subject OF the
morning discourse. THE friends Of
the Master" John 1915. There is a
great need of friendship in the life,
sharing the joys of the happier mo-
ments of life, dividing the sorrows,
when the dark clouds of adversely
hang over us. 1t, indeed, makes the
name of friend the sweetest and
around that name memory Will ever
linger. In life we find the false and
the true friends The condition upon
which human friendship rests de-
ponds upon our attitude toward each
other. and also has its Limitations.
The friendship of the Saviour of the
world is without conditions and linz
itations, an ever present friend is
Jesus. There are times when human
friends cannot come to us then
Jesus comes into the hearts and with
his love and compassion sustains,
strengthens and heals in the hour
I of trial and tribulation. A friend in
time. in death and in eternity. A
friend of the wicked, as well as
friend to his own children, Jesus Of
fers his friendship to you. Closing
with prayer by Bro. Dan Sloan for
our soldier boys-that they take
this Jesus as their friend and that
each step of the way they be guided

quietly died, after being issued a
few times from the Office of the Win

newspaper, but some Of that towns
good boosters, headed by George f.
Gale, stepped into the breach, and
the result is new paper, the Au-
burndale Advocate, a very neat and
well edited little publication, which,
If maintained, will undoubtedly be
a fine advertisement for Auburn
dale. 1t is intimated that the pro-
moters purpose to put in a plant and
do their own printing as soon as
this can be arranged. Auburndale
has had a good newspaper before,
but for some reason failed to give
1t the support it apparently de-
served 1t is much to be hoped for
the welfare of the town that the
new venture will meet with more
generous treatment.

The editor of the new Auburndale
paper has the unique distinction of
never wearing a hat, which is one
item of expense eliminated, any
way. If he sticks to the newspaper
business, he may dispense with other
things to wear, also. Though, of
course, with a Gale in the office it
ought to be little trouble to raise
the wind.
