How many, we wonder,
of our subscribers read it. 1t is said
thaE it took Mr.. Harding week to
write it. It is platitudinous to a de-
gree He might have taken the Con-
gressional Record and clipped the
whole thing out from the speeches of
various senators beginning in The
seventies and running down TO the
last squabble over the league of ma
tons. No doubt about Mr. Harding
being a standpatter He will stand
where the republican leaders want
MIN to stand The only thing the
southern people will be interested in
is his obvious intention to appoint
negroes to office. We should Judge
by his reference to foreign affairs
that all European nations, including
the sinkers Of the Lusitania, look
alike to him, and as for Mexico he is
ready TO shake hands with any greas-
err who has dollar, even if the Mex
lean hand be stained with American
blood. All in all, the speech is what
we should expect from a common
place man. dominated by men who
believe in the American eagle when
they see it on dollar.

automobile will not, therefore. be sub
jected to tax also for that road?
When the advocates of this bond IS
sue, or any other man, answers that
question to the satisfaction of any
fair-minded, honest-intending per-
son, then we viii be ready to assist
in educating the people to the
righteousness of the proposal. And
there are other reasons the Tribune
could mention for Sustaining its op-
position to the proposition; not the
least of which is that, with something
above 125, 900 voters in Florida, and
but approximately 10000 automobile
owners in the state. it looks like the
educators of the people thought it
would be easy to get three cut of eve
ry four voters to vote yes on prop
o5ition which did not affect any but
the fourth man from tax stand
point, save only to unfairly relieve
them from a duty that rests on them
three times as heavily as on the one. "
The Tribune's first objection was
one that we have steadily urged
against opening a gateway through
which subsequent legislatures could
plunge the state into debts from
which it would be hard to emerge.
The constitution may need amend
ment in many ways, but the road
bon amendment is not either neces-
ssry nor expedient. 1t should not be
ratified.

The Times-Union and the Tribune
seem to have gone after that new
amendment with all their guns in
battery. There is one thing they
should remind the voters of often.
That the said amendment, once fav-
orably voted on, would be almost inn
possible Of repeal, for it could not be
repealed until legislature called for
a vote on another amendment TO re-
peal it. 1t would take a very high
minded and unusual legislature to
submit such an amendment. Because,
this law would come in handy to any
legislature. 1t would enable it TO
raise large sum of money, part of
which could easily be diverted to the
use of any legislators friends who
were willing to give him rake off.
Taxpayers will be fools if they en-
trust this or any other legislature
with such power.
