GOV. CATS MAKES TWO
SENSIBLE PROPOSITIONS
(Tampa Tribunel

Tallahassee, April Ex-Governor
Cats in a message to the legislature
today recommends that the legislature
take steps to have transferred from
custody of the counties the main high
ways between county seats, these to
be placed under control of the state
highway department. The plan en-
braces the construction of such roads
where necessary by the state; and
where counties have already created
such main highways that they be re-
compensed to the value of such roads,
by the state. The money to construct
new highways under this plan, and to
pay the counties for such construction
already accomplished, would be secur-
ed by the issuance of state bonds.
Governor Cats points out, also,
that the counties have bonded to the
extent of about twenty-five million
dollars for road construction and that
interest on such bonds averages per
cent. He is of the opinion that the
state, which has no bonded indebted
ness now, could borrow at the interest
rate of 315 % and give benefit of its
credits to the counties, thus saving
the counties huge sum of money.
The governor also asked the legis-
lature to take steps to insure the con-
vening of constitutional convention
Co revise the constitution of the state.
He urges this as being a real neces-
sity.

foot to hold the first meeting of the
league of nations in Washington this

ed Press. The covenant of the league
of nations in revised form, moved by
President Wilson, was adopted today
by the peace conference in plenary
session without dissenting vote.
The presidents motion also named
Sir James Eric Drummond as secre-
tary general of the league and pro-
vided for a committee to inaugurate
the league.
Thus one Of the notable works of
the conference passes its final stage
and is incorporated in the peace
treaty.
The French and Japanese amend
ments after a brief discussion were
not pressed, and the way was thus
cleared for unanimous acceptance of
the league.
Italy was not represented at the
session, but the name of Italy ap-
pears as one of the members of the
league in the covenant as finally
adopted.
Nine labor principles were adopted
for insertion in the treaty.

siderable fighting before they entered
the tank corps. They will exhibit their
fighting machine around town to-
morrow and it will do special stunts
at the fair grounds at p. m. They

The Star has, been shown a picture
of that splendid and patriotic boy,
George Newsom, who volunteered into
the navy soon after the war broke out
and when he was only eighteen years
old. The picture was taken a few
weeks ago, in England, on the eve
of his departure for France, and
thinker" looks full-sized man and
a most efficient young sailor. He went
from Ocala into the electrical depart
ment of a naval training camp, and
after a full course of instruction was
sent to Queenstown, Ireland, one of
cur destroyer bases, where he did such
good work that he is now a chief cleo
trician. 1t is not known here whether
George was going to France on duty
or a pleasure trip, but his Ocala
friends are proud of him and hope to
soon see him home.

OPPOSE MEASURE AS
MUCH TOO DRASTIC

Good Roads Committee of Board of
Trade Voted Solidly Against Bill
Regulating Traffic and Wants Vote.
The good roads committee of the
Marion County Board of Trade yes
terday afternoon voted solidly against
the bill of Representative Fort regu-
lating traffic on the highways of the
county. The measure has already
passed both houses of the legislature
but it is hoped that it can be vetoed.
The committee considers the bill to
drastic and too broad in its provis-
ions. kilograms have been sent to
Tallahassee to have the bill killed if
possible.
The bill as passed becomes effective
Immediately upon being approved by
the governor or upon becoming a law
without the executives approval. The
measure among other things provides
that mo motor truck or other motor
vehicle of trailer" used for carrying
freight over the hard-surfaced roads
of the county can operate unless
equipped with pneumatic tires. If the
bill becomes a law a truck with solid
rubber tires cannot operate over Mar
ion county highways. The bill pro-
vides for a speed limit of not more
than Is miles an hour for motor
trucks or "other motor vehicles" used
for carrying freight or merchandise.
As pointed out in the meeting of the
committee yesterday afternoon no
distinction is made as to weight of
motor trucks. 1t fixes the same speed
limit, for example, for a Ford truck
as for a lotion truck.
The opinion was expressed in the
meeting of the good roads committee
that the bill would defeat the purpose
of good roads, which is for traffic. 1t
was pointed out that the day of the
motor truck has just dawned, and
that Marion county should not take
the unprogressive step of making diff
ficult, If not impossible, the fullest
development of motor truck traffic.
Col. r. F. Rogers told the members
of the committee that in his opinion
nothing damages a road as much as a
heavily loaded truck with solid rub
ber tires, but that the provisions of
Mr.. Forts bill are too drastic Mr..
A. c. Blowers thought wagons and
vehicles with narrow tires damaged a
road more than trucks. DR.. S. H.
Bitch said that trucks damage sand
clay roads only. He said he wished
there was not a piece of sand-clay
road in the world. DR.. Bitch said
that the roads become bad not thru
use but through neglect. Mr.. E. C.
Beuchler wanted to know how a
farmer would get his farm machinery
from one field to another or into Ocala
for repairs, if, as the bill provides, no
traction engine, plow or harrow, or
other farming implement equipped
with lugs, can be moved over the
roads or bridges. Mr.. G.. B. Howell
said that the bill was a detriment to
the county. inasmuch as it prevented
the full use of motor trucks and
thereby prevented the development Of
the county and would keep progress
sive farmers and merchants out of the
county. Mr.. John Fl. Taylor, who was
present at the meeting, said that the
bill would defeat the purpose of good
roads, which is traffic. Mr.. J. K.
Christian expressed the opinion that

ENDORSE NEW ROUTE
FOR STATE HIGHWAY
Good Roads Committee of Board of
Trade FavOrs Road Straight South
to Plant City in Addition to High
ways Already Designated.

The good roads committee of the
Marion County Board of Trade yes
terday afternoon endorsed as a route
for one of the state highways a road
paralleling the Seaboard Air Line
railroad from Ocala to Plant City,
running south through Summerfield,
Sumter county, the northeast corner
of Heernando county, Dade City to
Plant City. At Dade City the pro-
posed highway would connect with a
road to Lakeland.
The proposed route is along the
ridge of the state and runs through
some of the finest farming country in
the state. 1t runs thru the beautiful,
rolling country of Central Florida;
would serve a large population and
give the tourist an opportunity of
seeing one of the best portions of the
state.
The good roads committee endorsed
the route without a dissenting vote.
The route would be in addition to the
state highway already officially desig-
mated. State highway No. 2, already
officially designated, is from the
Georgia line at JenningS, via Lake
City, Gainesville, Ocala, Leesburg,
Orlando, Kissimmee, Barlow, Arcadia.
to Fort Myers. State highway No. 5
runs from High Springs via New
Terry, Dunnellon, Inverness, Brooks
vile, Tampa TO Bradentown.

A WORD FROM CANADA

The following is from c. F. Hehlke,
of Maple Creek, Sask., former citizen
of Wausau, which no doubt will be
read with interest by his friends:
1.-THE Pilot is still, as always, a wel-
come visitor in our little home, OUT
here on the western plains of Canada.
Although cannot report very
bounteous crop since last l wrote you,
still we had more than last season,
having threshed around 200 bu. Gt
grain, where We only had 20 bu. Last
year. We might have had q little
more. but you know, we had a very
damaging hail storm here the 18th OF
June. which laid growing crops fiat
and more so, that wouldn't have mat
tered so much, but then we got a
scorching heat and drought on top oi
it. and the combination fixed things
right. The wheat was about a foot
high and looked like one green velvet
bed, before the hail came. But We
| still have hopes, and when good crop:
come again, they will be good.
We have had some pretty severe
winter weather, since Oct. Sth, in fac
it has frozen up since then, with thu
exception of a few days. 1t was a.
low as 10 degrees below zero Oct. .5th
and the past week was more like
January.
Best regards to all"

The Armistice Day celebration in
Mosinee this year was not the wild
exciting time that it was a year ago
yet the same feeling OF thankfulness
that the war is over was prevalent
just the same. Eearly In the morning
many flags made their appearance 20

the afternoon the school bell and the
church bells were rung for five MIN
utes to herald the approach OF the
parade of school children. The entire
school marched in honor of the day
carrying large flags and the amount
of enthusiasm displayed by them was
ample evidence of joy over the first
annual celebration of the great day.
In the evening the American Legion
had charge of affairs when they spon-
sored a big dance, in Library hall,
which was more than well attended to
the enjoyment Of everyone The local
post is grateful for the turnout which
made the affair great success. The

the talent among their members to put

eide to do this, its success is assured.
