FOR A SQUARE DEAL

Calling attention to a comparative
statement COMPLIED by ]. L. Billings.
ley, candidate Tor attorney general,
the Miami Metropolis declares that
common honesty and square deal
demand the reapbortionment of the
state, in order that south Florida may
be fairly represented at Tallahassee,
giving as proof Of the present unfair
methods the figures on the total popu-
lation Of twelve contiguous counties,
from Dade to Okeechobee, the valua-
tion Of property and representation
in the house and senate, and the same
figures for the twelve contiguous
northern counties, from Nassau to
Calhoun.
IN this article, which appears else
where on this page, the Metropolis is
calling on the newspapers Of Florida
to give publicity to these figures, in
justice to the southern part Of the
state A comparison Of the counties
shows the assessment values of south
Florida to be more than $75,000,O0O
in excess of the northern counties
named, and to have nearly twice the
number in population Let these
south Florida counties have a. repre-
sentatiOn Of fifteen in the lower
house against nineteen for the north
ern counties, and ratio of 4 1-2 in
the senate as against 9 1-6 for the
northern counties named
1t is injustices such as these which
cast aspersions on the good name of
the state, and keep the question of
state division constantly before the
people. The Journal believes in al
square deal to all sections. West
Florida has never received fair play
and it seems that south Florida has
suffered a discrimination almost as

LOWERED REVENUES.

Next in importance to railroad leg
| islation, which now has passed into
the hands of the conference commit
| tee, Is the enactment of a budget law.
This should be done in advance of the
introduction of the government supply
measures. That the tremendous loss
of revenue due to falling off in the
customs duties and to the elimination
of liquor as a source of government
receipts. can be largely made up by
the adoption of a budget system, is the
belief of many well informed persons.
The loss from liquor revenue alone
is enormous, and one that will not re-
gain it's former proportions as customs
revenue may do with return to nor
NAL manufacturing and financial con-
ditions abroad. Liquor revenues in
creased from $199.966,424 in 1908 to
1924, 4,0Os,513 in 1917, and $443,S19,544
in 1918. This great source of income
has been wiped out by national pro-
hibition, and it is estimated that the
recent decision of the United States
supreme court, upholding war time
prohibition, deprived the government
of at least $500. 900, 900 in taxes.
Customs revenue, on the other hand,
had been decreasing under war pres
sure until from being the mainstay
of government financing it has been
relegated to an unimportant part in
producing money for the national ad-
ministration. Customs produced $685.
6S3,445 in 1910, $s1S;Ss1,39e in 1913,
and due to the war dropped to $179,-
9sS,383 in 1918
This tremendous shift in income has,
been one of the great contributory
causes for the increase in direct taxa
ton, and makes imperative some
method Of decreasing the expenditures
of the government to the limit of eff
cheney. A budget system for the
elimination of waste is believed by it's
advocates to be the only way in which
this great loss can be counteracted.

BEHIND THE DIM I1NKNoWN

Shakespeare in his writings speaks
of the tide, which If taken at its flood
leads on to Fortune
There are tides always agathering
in the background of eevery forward
life.
Behind h e dim unknown
standeth God" as Lowell put it. And
God, to US all, must be the silent force
OF good that watches over us-because
we are so much more in value than
the sparrows!
Mystery is q great handspring in
the growth of character. 1t is the fact
that We do not at any time know
exactly what we may yet become. that
fascinates US to what we do.
The kindest thing to most of US all
is that much of the hard work and
test of life is veiled from US till we
are brought to face it at the right
hour.

THE KANSAS PLAN.

The published draft of the bill for
the establishment of an industrial
court, which it is planned to submit
| to the legislature when it meets in ex-
traordinary session, already is attract
ing attention outside of the state. The
Memphis Commercial Appeal in an
editorial discussion of the subject
says:
A bill has been drafted for presen-
tation to the Kansas legislature,
making both strikes and lockouts
crimes and punishable as such. The
proponents of the bill. of course, are
basing it's validity on the superior
rights of the general public, but it is
an open question as to whether or not
they are going too far. The measure
would make it possible for any ten
resident citizens, on the threats of a
strike or lockout. to appeal for relief
to an industrial court that it proposes
to establish. An order against lock-
out or strike issued by this court would
be binding and a violation of such
order would be punishable by both
fines and imprisonment.
The fault of the bill is the extent
| of it's scope. It is clear that such a
court would have the power of COM
| pel1ing involuntary servitude. and this
| is clearly against the expressed will of
the national constitution. Would it
not be better, then, to establish an in
I dustrial commission empowered to
take over any plant or business in the
event of strike that imperilled the
general welfare? This commission
should have power to operate such
plant or business, regardless of the
| owners or the employees, until such
time as the emergency had passed.
/ At least this would not in any way
| interfere with the voluntary choice of
| either labor or capital. It would not
destroy the right of property, neither
would it compel Involuntary servitude.
Even better would be an arbitration
commission, to which disputes could
| be referred and settled before they
came to an open breach. OF course.
| the findings OF such a commission
would have to be final and the com
mission itself should have the power
| to enforce it's orders else It would
| be of no value whatever. But even
here It is to be seriously doubted
| whether we have progressed sLf-
ficiently In the matter of peaceful re-
adjustment to make enforced arbitra-
tion q success There is stt1 strong
opposition to such and the evil that
might result could overcome the good
that might be done. 1t is true that
no Just cause should seek to avoid a
| decision by fair and impartial arbiters.
| but IT is doubtful whether this truth
l.has gained as yet sufficient hold on
the popular mind.

AS Jim opened the door, the eleva

Never before in our history did the
newspapers. magazines and periodicals
of the country carry so great vol
ume of advertising as they have this
year. The increase doubtless is due
largely to the example set by the gov
ernment. which was successful in
floating its war loans and accomplish
ing many other important results thru
advertising. Even the churches have
fallen for the publicity idea and are
becoming patrons of the advertising
columns OF the newspapers. And this
is not all. a campaign now is under

Once more things ran smoothly for

and a half regret that I had not
learned what was in that letter when

Everett lad been more pronounced
since her visit. He had treated me
more as woman. less as a child, or
school girl who needed to be corrected
for what she had done as we'll as told
what she might do.
I was often surprised as we'll as

gray hairs. and told him so in a
shocked voice. Alice Sloane came in
one evening soon afterward, and she
also noticed he was beginning to turn
gray, and joked him a bit about it.
You shouldn't allow yourself to
get gray" she said Lots of men

he asked in a laughing manner.
II certainly do-for your own sake" :"
"They might say 1 was Sandra' g
grandfather, eh?" he rejoined. Alice
laughed, but L sensed- the bitterness
in the speech. That was what my
young friends had called him before
we were married, grandpa" and l
knew he had resented it then and still
hated to have any one compare our
ages.

at me, so my warning glances were
wasted. ''Sandra doesn't look a day
