SoS wi tNiiACHISs
We published yesterday with a great
deal Of pleasure though tinged with
some measure of regret, a communi-
cation from Hon. j. D. Smith, of Mari
anna, a member of the state road de-
partment Mr.. Smith denies that he is
in politics in connection with the bond
amendment and with his statement we
heartily and cordially agree, and when
he calls on us for justice he confers on
us the pleasure of saying that his
conduct in this matter, so far as we
know, has been absolutely unex-
ceptionable. In fact we are sure ii has
been so.
The regret comes in from the fact
that we did not specifically except Mr..
Smith from the charge when it was
made generally against the board, and
we thought of doing so, but as we were
not mentioning the names of members
except of the two whom we quoted
we did not refer to him specifically.
We quoted from two of the members
speeches that showed they were as
activity working for this amendment as
If they had been connected with the
management of the campaign, and we
knew of another member whose advo-
cacy of the amendment was SO strong
that he expressed the opinion that the
Times Union should be boycotted for
opposing 1t. AS he had not at that
time appeared in print, we also omit
ted his name; but. as three out OF the
five members of the board were max
ing political fight for this amend
ment, we felt justified in saying the
board was making it. We did not
charge that all the members of the
board were in politics. This charge we
left for a member of the board re-
ferred to In yesterdays Times Union
We are confident that his statement
that 'the road department, individually
and as a whole, is for the amendment
and will fight for it to the last ditch. -
is not correct so far as Mr.. Smith is
concerned and we may also add that
we have no reason to think IL is true
so far as Mr.. Hillburn is concerned.
From Mr.. Smiths letter we gather
that he is for the amendment and we
are sure that if he is it is because he
thinks it for the best interest of Flori-
da. He should feel no hesitancy in ad-
vising any who write to him that he
Is for the amendment and in giving his
reasons. He is a citizen of Florida
as well as a member of this board and
has all the rights that any other citi-
zen of Florida has and, we may add
all the duties. too. His position should
not prevent him from quietly using his
influence for what he thinks to be the
best interests of the state, though we
are sure from his own letter that it
causes him to feel that he should not
pull off his coat. wade into the com
bat and fight it to the last ditch.
There is no reason why good men
should feel bitterness in connection
with this discussion. Patriotic men are
on both sides of it.-Florida Times

amatuerish attempt to steal the car,
rad broken off the switch and got the

A few seconds more and they would
rave had the wires connected and the
car running.
Mr.. Rundell gave chase IN his car,

COUNTY AGENTS AID
scoop" CONCERNS

Cooperative farmers associations
in the Northern and Western states,
whose organization was promoted by
county agents, last year, effected a
saving to the members Of $5,434, 900,
according to reports made to the
States Relation Service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The governing principle in all activi-
ties on the part of the county agents
sharing in cooperative movements
has been not to act as the direct
business agent of the farmer or an
organized group, but to assist farm
ers in determining what form of To-
cal organization is desirable and to
secure expert assistance, when avail
able, in organization methods. The
county agent also helps guard the
community against REORGANIZATION
and wherever practicable advocates
the use of existing agencies. The
cooperative associations which the
county agents have helped form have
had to do both with production and
distribution and include cooperative
grain elevators, creameries, and live
stock selling associations.
