FROM REPRESENTATIVE FOLKS
Uncle Billy Tells What he Intends to
Try to Do at Tallahassee
Juliette. Fla. March Z


Editor Star: believe it is my
duty to accept your offer to publish
the intentions of the representatives
of what they intend to try to do in
the regular session. Speaking for
myself, will say that it is my inten-
tion to do all / can to have taxes
equalized, and think the best way to
do this is to have assessors appointed
in each district, to grade the lands,
and the legislature to place the as
sessment according to grade, and the
department assessor to see and take
returns of the personal property un-
der oath and what is missed by him
at the time of the assessment to be
taken after that.
1t is my intention TO oppose fed
eral control of suffrage and woman
suffrage can't be had until the con-
stitution is amended. / refer to Ar
ticle 6, Section /. / also call the at
tention of all who want local or spec
ial acts to the constitution. Article 3,
Section 21. so don't blame the repre-
sentatives if they don't get it.
/ favor license tax on all dogs In
this state, to go to the schools, the
same as poll tax, and penalty to
owners of them who do not comply.
favor repeal of the law in relation
to redeeming lands that have gone to
the state after twelve months, and the
state to sell the same to actual set
tiers, on the instalment plan like the
homestead law, that he soldiers may
have a chance to own homes of their
own.
/ favor law to compel all county
officers to bond in some reliable sure
ty company.
/ favor repeal of the convict lease
system, the convicts to be worked ON
the highways of the state.
These are a few of my ideas and
intentions. If they are not for the
best for justice to the people, let
them speak. Respectfully,
w. j. Folks.

IRISH THINK THEY
CAN BOSS AMERICA
Give Notice that They Will Block the
League of Nations Unless Their
Demands are Granted

Paris, March 8.-If the Irish Ques-
tion is not settled by the peace con-
ference friends of Ireland will stop
ratification of the league of nations in
the American Congress, Sean 0'Ceal-
leigh, John O'Kelly) the delegate of
the provisional Irish republic to the
peace conference, declared in state
ment yesterday. He expressed doubt
that any league of nations would be
formed and said that the Irish have
spoken gently to President Wilson.
Eve can stop ratification of this
league of nations in Congress if the
Irish question is not settled" the
Irish delegate declared. at is my
opinion that there will be no league
of nations; at any rate there viii be
no peace in Europe because Ireland
will fight, and the world knows that
Ireland can fight.
"We ielieve we are powerful enough
in America to make President VIII
son enforce the principles outlined in
his peace plan concerning the rights
of nations to dispose of themselves.
We have pleaded and spoken gently
10 HlLn long enough. 1He IlKne mas
come for acts"
O'Cealleigh said no reply had been
received from the members of the
American peace delegation asking
that Ireland's case be heard, except a
simple acknowledgement from Gen.
Bliss. He added:
"The others failed to grant me the
courtesy usually bestowed by gentle
men when receiving a letter, even
from beggars, and God knows we are
not beggars,"
O'Cealleigh, who is small man of
energetic appearance, spoke with ella
tion but without bitterness, concern
ing the amnesty granted to Sinn Fem
ers in England, saying:
HIt is not too soon. These men
have been in Jail for nine and one
half months without a charge being
made against them. England was the
last of the belligerent countries to
grant amnesty to political prisoners.
1t is not record to be prou dof."

is added. have been discovered in q
great man ytowns in Bohemia. The

ernment of German-Austria were par
ticularly active in the towns of Reich
enberg and Leitmeritz. The Bohemian
government discovered considerable
quantity of arms in the town of
Trautenau, near the German border.
The United States peace mission
sent to Austria some time ago has
directed Lieut.. Philip Goodwin to go

HOW CAN WE GET ALONG
WITHOUT THEM?
(Associated Press)

Washington, March 8.-Secretary
Daniels and a party of American nav
al experts will leave for Europe next
week to discuss with the Allied naval
officials the best type of capital war
ships for the future, based on lessons
gained in the war. The secretary has
been asked to submit definite recon-
mendations to the next Congress in
December on this subject. 1t was also
learned that Secretary Baker sails for
Europe about April 1st to close busi-
ness operations of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces.
Secretary Baker will be absent
about six weeks, and probably will
arrive overseas before Mr.. Daniels
returns home. Thus President Wilson
and the heads of both the army and
navy probably will be away from the
country at the same time, situation
which many officials said today was
without precedent.
ULTERIOR MOTIVE ALLEGED
Charles E. Hugher. appearing be-
fore the supreme court, as counsel for
the Commercial Cable and CONNER
cial Pacific Cable Co.. charged that
Postmaster General Burleson, by TAX
ing control of the marine cable sys-
TENS five days after the signing of
the armistice, misused the powers
conferred by Congress. and had as an
"ulterior motive" the forcing of gov
ernment ownership of the cables.
In reply. Solicitor General King as
serted the cables, were taken over in
reality on November End, when the
proclamation was signed by the pres
ident, but did not pass into the hands
of the postmaster general until four
teen days afterward.
DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO
In a letter to Representative Full
Ter, of Massachusetts. dated March /
and made public last night, President
Wilson said the proposal to destroy
the ships of the surrendered German
fleet "seems to me like the counsel of
those who don't know what else to
do" He added that the question of
disposition of the vessels will be con-
sidered further on his return to Paris.
