4 Matter of Consistency.

In their petition now on file with the Georgia
Railroad Commission the railway companies ask
for certain freight rate increases ranging from
twenty to one hundred and forty-seven per cent on
shipments between points within this -State-in-
creases which obviously would place Georgia indus
tries at a heavy disadvantage compared with
their competitors at distant centers in the East
and West We naturally presumed that the rail-
way companies in asking for this rate revision
meant what they said and said what they meant
We never supposed that they would seek permits
sion to charge certain rates on haus Of meat, ap-
pies chairs cotton yarn, overals and sundry other
commodities unless they wished and intended to
put those rates into effect
But IL now appears from communications which
the railroads addressed to The Journal that
We grievousIy misJudged them. Although they
have asked the Commission for a rate of hfty-one
cents per hundred pounds on shipments Of fresh
meat from Moultrie to Atlanta they intend to
charge only forty-three cents, according to their
statement to The Journal. Although they have
asked officially for divers other rate increases
which II granted would make the cost of shipments
between towns within Georgia much higher than
the cost Of Ike shipments from faraway eastern
and western. points to those towns. they have no
intention OF putting such increases into efect-ac
cording to their statement TO The Journal.
This is rather remarkable state of affairs.
The roads would have spared the shippers much
anxiety and themselves much criticism IL they had
said in their petition what they now say to the
public. The public eagerly awaits withdrawal
or thorough overhauling of that petition Moth
ing less be expected OF the roads, in view of
the following statement from their latest communi-
cation to The Journal:
I'VE here and now declare that it is not

producer in favor of producers located at

that we will not propose nor will we attempt

rance with the same
We have thorough confidence in the upright
intention of the gentlemen who make this state
ment. but we submit that in matter of such seri-
and farreaching 1t is essential that all
be removed We must Judge this issue not by
what the roads propose to do at some future time
but by what they ask permission to do; not
by supplemental petitions or amendments which
are contemplated but by the terms OF the petition
now file with the State Railroad Commission.
And in that petition there are numerous proposals
Georgia producer in favor of producers located at
points without the State"
We take it, therefore. that as a matter of con-
sistency the roads viii not stand out for rates of
this character. although they have asked for them
in their petition. They have spoken fairly enough
It remains for them to act likewise.

A MODERN PACKING
PLANT FOR OCALA
Strenuous Effort Being Made on
the Enterprise
TAYLOR BROTHERS BELIEVE THAT IT is ONE OF THE GREATEST
NEEDS Of THE CITY

Is 0cala going to have a modern
butchering and packing plant to take
care of the meat production of Mar
ion and adjoining counties? The Tay-
for brothers, of the Ocala Manufac-
turing company, have been working
strenuously with view to building a
plant, and will continue to work until
results are obtained.
at would be the biggest thing ever
started here" said Mr.. John Taylor
this morning in discussing the pro-
ject. Ocala's central location, he said,
is greatly in favor of the location of
a large packing industry here. "The
beauty of the thing is that it cannot
be overdone," Mr.. Taylor said. "The
demand exceeds the supply
The Taylor brothers figure it will
cost between 100000 and $250,00 to
erect the proposed plant They want
to form cooperative company or
stock company, either one. The
main thing is to get the industry
started. The banks, it is said, will
assist in financing the enterprise, if
a sufficient amount of capital is
raised. Stock raising promises to be
the chief industry of this section of
the state, and at present markets
have to be found elsewhere for a
large part of the production.
This season 307, 900 pounds of pork
have been handled in the cold storage
rooms of the Ocala Manufacturing
Company, and last year. 298,0O0I
pounds were handled. The cold
storage rooms of the company have
a capacity for double this amount
OF meat. The meat is stored at a.
rate of one cent per pound for each
thirty days, and half cent per
pound for each additional thirty days.
This rate is said to be lower than
those of some of the big storage
plants in Georgia.

INTEREST IN THE
LIBRARY VOTING CONTEST
The Ocala High School is Leading by
Small Margin with the Public
Library a Close Second

1t is certainly wonderful the way
people are gathering votes in the Ii
brary contest. Up to the present
time it seems to be neck-and- meek
race among several of the contest
ants and from the amount of coupons
clipped from the Star and deposited
in the ballot box, it is evident that
many people are not overlooking this.
We are told by several of the mer-
chants who are interested in this
grand offer that they know of many
who are holding back thousands of
votes. Some are acting the dark
horse and some have not yet decided
what organization they will work for,
SO it behooves all who are interested
to get busy and decide for whom you
are going to work
The merchants who are giving
coupons do not ask you to pay any
more for their merchandise. They will
appreciate your patronage and some
church, lodge, school or library will
your votes. This elegant
library of books and cases is worth
your consideration. Go examine them
then consider what valuable asset it
would be to your favorite society
You know some organization is go
ing to win it, so get busy, it's up to
you to help them do it.
