not only by citizens of German ex-

There can be no two loyalties. He

Legislative Rouse-c Cleaning Needed.

While the war Is on and there Is .
luli in business, we want all legisla-
tive bodies to take an inventory OF
the statute books and wipe off all
extravagant and useless Jaws. A good
house-cleaning Is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of INDECENT
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from Respondent homes
Unnecessary workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the pros
perity of the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world.
If any of these industries have sur
plus employees we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule Of wages, but we pay good
farm hands on an average of $l.50
per day of thirteen hours when they
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year and the
three months dead time they can DO
the chores for their board. III tney
prefer to farm on their own account,
there are more than 14,000,00O,0O0
acres of idle land on the earth's sur
face awaiting the magic touch of the
plow. The compensation is easily OBJ
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. The total
average annual sales Of a farm In
the continental United States amounts
to $4,000; the cost of operation is
$4,000; leaving the farmer SITS per
annum TO live on and educate his
family.
There is no occasion for the legis-
latures making a position for surplus
employees Of industry. Let them come
"back to the soil" and share with us
the prosperity of the farm.

TAXPAYERS DEMAND ACTION.

However sound his reason may be for
not doing so, it is most regrettable that
County Commissioner Candy did not keep
his promise in regard to the maintenance
of the BarranCaS road.
When tax payers petition the board Of
commissioners for a public work which
they consider essential to the welfare of
the community and are given definite as
surance of compliance with their request,
they are justified in expecting the promise
to be carried out.
Commissioner Candy promised to work
a truck on the Barrancas road continu-
ously. dragging a split-1og drag whenever
weather conditions would permit, and the
committee states that he has not done so,
the present condition of the road being
very bad.
There have been many demands upon
the county commissioners because of the
condition of the roads when they took Of
rice. and the present board has made good
progress despite serious financial difficult
ties. but the good that has been accom-
plished may easily he nullihed in the minds
OF the people of Pensacola by one broken
promise, and the present good will toward
the county officials quickly turned to bit
ter antagonism.
The citizens were in real earnest when
they petitioned the board; they were sin
cere when they offered to raise the money
by public subscription for maintenance OF
rhe Barrancas road if for any reason the
county could not. or would not, keep it in
repair They are in earnest now, because
they reAiize the Importance of good road
to the government reservation.
The commissioners are obligated
through their promise to maintain the road
continuously 1t is too late now to advance
reasons for not doing 1.-THE time to have
done that was when the petition was pre-
sented. And now that the much-needed
Lillian road is we'll under way, it is hopec
that Commissioner Candy will make gooc
his promise without delay.

ENGLAND OPTIMISTIC REGARD
ING SHIPPING.

England takes an optimistic view Of the
shipping situation as a result of U-bOat
piracy, pointing to the fact that while be-
fore the war the ocean-gOing vessels on the
United Kingdom register represented
seventeen and a half million TONS more
than fifteen million tons are still ahOat and
replacements are being made as rapidly as
tine tull capacity of British shipyards will
permit. With the ship construction aCtivi-
ties planned and actually under way in
America, England believes a quite salts
factory tonnage will be available at the
close of the war, though it freely comedies
that even should the production equal
U-boat losses in future, which scarcely
seem possible, the supply will fall far short
of the demand for bottoms in which to
transport the vast cargOes which will be
released when hOstilitieS cease.
America is urged to continue its ship
building program vigorously and to lay
down keels at every available point so thai
it may be prepared to supply the depleted
markets OF the world when peace is de
Clared.

NEW AUTO LAW.

Florida will enter the ranks of progress
sive states, so far as auto tax legislation is
concerned when the new auto law becomes
effective January l.
Instead Of the cumbersome system of
requiring payment of three distinct taxes
state, county and citv-with tag for each,
there will be one fee, payable to the state,
and only a state tag.
This will apply to all motor driven
vehicles, excepting autos for hire. which
Will be required to pay a local license not
T.. exceed fifty per cent of the state tax.
Fixing the tax on basis of horse power
Is new in this section, but has been quite
generally dopted elsewhere.
Automobiles seating not more than five
persons and with less than 25 h. p will
pay s.; 25 to 40 h. p. will pay S12; 40 to 60
j. p, SIG; more than 60 h. p. $50.
Small trucks will pay $40 and those OF
more than Atom capacity, 500; trailers
will be free of tax up to 500-lbs capacity
and in the larger sizes at the same rate as
autos. Motorcycles will pay s.. Chauffeurs

partment, and $3.50 used to constitute
fund for the maintenance of state and state
aid roads and bridges, to be apportioned
to the total state tax paid by each county
into the state treasury, and expended by
the state road department..
Speed demons are effectively curbed by
the new law, twenty-five miles an hour
being the prescribed limit, and no children
under the age of IA years are permitted to
drive car. unless accompanied by licensed
chauffeur or the owner of the auto.
Car owners lose through the law this
year, as counties and cities are permitted
to collect six months fee for the period
from October to January.
The law does not interfere with local
regulations pertaining to the operation of
cars, and does not conflict with city ordi-
nances other than in the matter of license.
1t is Law that will be welcomed by
those whom it effects-a rarity in 1egis-
latiOn.

A DEPLORABLE SPECTACLE.

Sidney J. Cats and Frank Clark are ex-
posing Florida to the ridicule of the world.
When the chief executive of great
commonwealth and its representative at
the nations capital engage in controversy,
it is reasonable to expect their remarks to
be cOntined to the language of gentlemen
To resort to the billingsgate of the cockney
sparrow and irate fshmonger's wife, is to
humiliate every resident of the state they
represent.
Unfortunately, our governor has ever
been uncouth in expression, frequently
violent and sometimes dangerously aD-
preaching the vile in denunciation OF those
to whom he is opposed. That he should
display venom in his Incorporate state
ments, while threatening violation of the
law he has sworn to uphold is not Sur
rrising.
That Clark should have permitted him
self to drop to the plane he now occupies
must be a sad disappointment to his
| friends
Anger is a small excuse for the sorry
| spectacle these men are presenting.
Both have done Florida grave injury.
