To meet the objections OF the retailers
organizations which declare that final
sales tax in order to justify Itself would
have to be at rate of not less than
8 per cent, and that in many cases such
n tax could not be sMfted, the advocates
of the tax claim that the retailer could
equalize such cases by adding the rer-
centage Of the tax to his cost of doing
business and distribute 1t as he would
any other item of overhead. The re-
tailers, on the other hand, claim that
this cannot be done. and that If fales
tax is to be levied at all 1t should be
levied against the manufacturers and
wholesalers as we'll as upon them.

Cause for Thankfulness.

Again the people of South Florida
are entitled to congratulate them
selves upon living in a section that
seems to be immune from such disas-
trous visitations of natures wrath as
shown by earthquakes, tornadoes and
hurricanes. If there were no ether
reason for rejoicing, that alone
would be sufficient. Even sunstroke,
a very common occurrence in coun-
tries far to the north of us in the
heated season, is unknown here
Add to these reasons the wonderful
ramuses, who see only the surface OF
things, or are perhaps aCtuated by
reasons, known only to themselves or
their employers, have pronounced q
desert" and the reasons for self
graduation are increased many fold
When we read of the awful life toll
Of the tornado which wiped that lit
tie Oklahoma village from the face
of the earth, we feel great surge
of gratitude yelling up in our hearts,
that we live in a land a merciful
Providence has made free from such
calamities. Sixty deaths and 20 more
expected, with the list of injured,
some Of whom will die, running
above the 100 mark, is the price
these unfortunate people have paid
for living on the fertile lands Of
Oklahoma. Even if Florida were
the desert" it is falsely represented
to be by prejudiced partizans, or
paid detractors, we submit that life
in a desert land is preferable to a
swift and terrible death on the fertile
plains of the west.
But Florida has no reason to dread
a comparison, either as to the variety
of its valuable products, their total
tonnage per acre or per man, or the
returns to the growers in dollars and
cents, with the very richest lands OF
the nation. Indeed it is coming to
be an acknowledged fact that no rich
er lands can be found in all this
broad land, than lie in millions OF
acres within the boundaries of Flor
ida. Again we say we have many
reasons to be thanful that we live in
Florida with its splendid all-yeaI
climate, its freedom from destructive
storms, and the wonderful productiv-
ity of it's soil, enhanced by abundant
rains, and continuous life-giving sun
shine.-Tampa Times.

Too Much Talk

The record of the doings of Con-
grass would fill comparatively
small book The report of the say
ing3 of Congress has consumed so
much white paper that the stock of
the public printer is running low and
the suspension of the Congressional
Record is threatened.
Newspapers confronted with a
shortage of white paper lave been
forced to cut out advertising and re-
duce their size in ORDER that they
might continue to present tie daily
record of news. Why wouldn't 1t be
a sensible idea for the publishers Of
the Congressional Record to cut out
the advertising sections, filled with
columns of matter devised chiefly
for purposes of publicity ard politi-
cal advertising of candidates for re-
election, and content itself for time
with the simple record Of the news
of the day in the House and Senate?
A considerable part CT the excess
demand on the Records space and
the supply of white paper is directly
chargeable to the campGigI, although
it never is figured in with the esti-
mate of political costs.-Philadelphia

WANTS NO-FENCE LAW
Says COwmen Can Afford to Fence
Cows if They Own Them.

Dear Mr.. Editor: l noticed an
article in the Herald of May 18th
copied from the Lakeland Telegram,
which speaks in favor of the no.
fence law. Before going to the polls
on June eighth, voters should in
form themselves as to how candidates
stand on this important subject and
if he doesn't favor a no-fence law
vote against him. Why should the
state of Florida protect the man of
means? If he can buy cattle, he can
afford to fence them in enclosures,
thus giving the man who labors
under difficulties and has not the
means to fence. a chance. There
are so or more of moderate means
to one cattle owner.
Is the State of Florida to be held
back for few men, when so many
are dependent upon their produce
for their living? Look up the rep
utation of the men running for Of
fee. and if he is not right on this
subject, don't vote for him, no matter
whether he is a democrat or republ-
can. Look for the man of honor

Is There Money in Farming

Mr.. and Mrs. W. l. Bailey, Of the
Bermont section, were in Arcadia
Tuesday of last, week, according to
the News, visiting and attending to
business. Mr.. Bailey produced g.
900 gallons of syrup on his farm this
season and sold it for 50 per gallon,
having sold the last installment Of it
while there Tuesday. The fine lot OF
cucumbers loaded on his truck for
local consumption was evidence that
he is not combining himself to the pro-
duction of syrup, but is making
money off of other crops as well.

example of industrious effort on the

A Painful Truth.

Probably there is no person who
resolves so much outside advice as to
how his work should be performed as
the newspaper man. Few people feel
called on to select the minister's text
for him. No one tells the lawyers
how they should try their cases, or
the doctor what medicine should be
given their patients, says an ex-
change.
If the newspaper man starts out to
seek counsel from the public he is at
once baffled by the contrary winds of
public opinion. One man is sure
that the paper should pursue a more
aggressive attitude. He would have
sinners exposed with flaming editori-
ais, the moral cancers of the COM
munity cut out, as with the surgeons
knife
This adviser would not personally
sign letter to appear in print max
ing even mild criticism on local ad-
ministration. But he considers that
the editor can bear on his back the
responsibility for the sins of the COM
munity.
1t often happens, also, that the edi-
tor receives a rebuke from the same
men who urge a very aggressive pol
icy, because they disagree with some
positive expression of opinion that he
has made. The moment their pet
an outspoken policy becomes very UNI
wise and inexpedient-T Ad-
vocate.

FLORIDA AS A SUMMER RESORT
(By Moses FOlsom.)

A warning has been given by
American Medicine, a publication OF
authority, as to conditions in Europe
which must for Icing time stand in
the way Of tourists gratifying their
desire to see the wrecks of war, eX-
cept at personal risk, large cost and
inconvenience.
Transportation is demoralized
food is scarce and high priced and on
top of all is the presence of SO much
disease as the result of suffering and
privation. Many consumptive pa
iients are to be found in every com
munity.
No citizen can so TO Europe now
without a passport and good reasons
must be given to get one. The Wis
itor is questioned at every port Of
debarkation, at every frontier and
at every European railroad station,
his baggage is searched and he must
officially register himself at public
stations wherever he stops. He
must pay fee every time his pass
port is examined. Fee takers stare
visitors in the face at every turn,
not TO speak Of tips on every side.
The language is different every few
miles. Foreign money is al a great
discount and even experts find it diff
ticult to avoid being held up. Red
tape binds every movement. 1t is
likely that passports and foreign re-
