MAY HAVE ANOTHER DISTRICT.

1t has peen announced that Florida will have an
other congressional district. following the 1920 CEN
sus. il the custom is I'd of increasing the
number of members OF t.e house Of representa-
tives proportion the in population in
the United States But, it is pointed out, if con-
gress should the size of the house then

As the representation in congress stands today,
each state allowed congressman for each

and Florida they estimate has increased in popula-

However, if congress should decide that the lower
branch is already large enough and that to keep
increasing the number of Representatives, the
number of people represented by each congressman
should be increased instead, then under such

of creditor nation of the world.
Concerning Americas bases for be-
coming a lender of capital, the booklet
says in part:
1.-The United States, through its
whole history, with a large undeveloped
area, has, generally speaking, been abb
sorbing foreign capital as well as the
growing accommodations of domestic
capital. Toward the end of the nine
teenth century however, it has reached
such an industrial development that
American capital began to seek an out
let in other countries, and there was
increasing interest in world trade and
the development of a merchant marine.
1.-THE United States is now in an un-
usually favorable situation for making
foreign loans. There are available for
export vast supplies of food stuffs and
raw materials. According to the indus
trial census for 1914, the industrial
plants of the United States had a total
capital of s22,791, o00, 600, while the
value of output was s24,246, COO, 900. The
war resulted in additions to our indus
trial plant. This is indicated by the
pig iron production, which is about
forty-five per cent. larger than before
the war; the establishment of impor-
tant chemicals and dyestuffs industries
and the great expansion of our ship
building industry. Our diversified pro-
duction and our natural resources will
enable us to supply the materials
which viii form the material bases
OF loans to other countries.
"As further basis for foreign loans,
this country has large absorbing power
for investments. The annual savings.
which amounted to $4,000 900, 900 before
the war. reached a total of at lea st
SIS, ooo, 0oo,0 600 during the war The
annual income from the balance of
foreign loans, which will be due this
country as a creditor nation, will prob
ably be largely absorbed in new invest
rnents.
The development Of a strong and
growing merchant marine will further
add to our ability to invest capital in
other countries. The extraordinarily
large gold supply Of the country, in
combination with a free gold market,
will give bills drawn in American
dollars a world wide reputation as

TO Define DEMOCRACY.

In discussing a state convention for Florida, the

is democratic and what is democrat. the Bolshe-
vistic would reply: "Damfino." and there would be

senee of a convention promulgate the prin-
cples and policies of democracy they adapted
and and derived from the new conditions of modern
radical readjustment in conformity with the times
in which we i've

in practice kind of "omnium gatherurn'
