- Shall Florida Have Good Roads y

had the power 10 levy taxes that
would burden the people much more
than IL would be possible for them to
do under the proposed amendment,
yet We have no evidence that they
have ever used this power The
amendment If carried will enable the
state to build a connected system of
hard roads, without levying any addi-
tional taxes except possibly small
increase in the automobile tax and
since the automobile owner gets the
most good from improved roads it is
only right that they should pay for
them. The supporters of the amend
ment propose to capitalize the auto
mobile tax by issuing bonds, build par
manent roads, and let the automobile
tax pay n the bonds. They propose to
cut of the present two mill tax levy
We are now paying for road amend
ment carries taxes will be reduced in
stood OF increased.
| have been asked why do the rail-
roads oppose the amendment if by
adopting IL taxes will be reduced. ANY
one familiar with the present freight
rate in Florida will understand why
the railroads oppose il. For instance
have been told by owners of trucks
that with a little work done on the
road between Evinston and Palatka, a
five ton truck would make good
money hauling freight between Jack
sonville and ocala. could haul certain
commodities cheaper. and make bet
ter deliveries that the railroads are
now doing. You can readily see what
could be done in this line with a good
hard road all the way. Do you wonder
that the railroads are fighting the
amendment?
You may say that surely this argu-
ment does not apply to the great phos-
plate industry OF South Florida. No
Il affects them in a different way. The
phosphate industry wants cheap labor.
They do not want the state developed.
They do not want new industries
brought into the state that will use
labor. They do not want roads built
because that takes labor. They no
doubt would be mighty glad if there
was nothing in Florida but phosphate
and negroes. The owners as a gen.
erar thing live in the north. They do
not care anything about good roads
IN Florida.
! am sure Mr.. Editor that no one

We still can see no reasons why
this is not the very best plan for state
wide good roads. We have conned the
papers of the state looking for some
thing like foundation in sound logic
but have failed as yet to find it in the
columns of the Collectors" One string
that is being twanged until it would
seem fairly worn out is, how do we
know the state legislature would do so
and so?" You don't, dear compatriots
nor do you know that you will live
on the morrow-but-let's get some
thing that will do the other fellows
some good even ii we have to shuttle
off TOO much power to put in the
hands of our state body" is no reason
in the wide world why we should not
have state wide good roads. 1t is an
objection to the means for securing
the funds. Right downright liars do
the directors call those who have adj
vanced plan for financing the whole
by additional taxing of cars. This
sounds fair, but the Collectors" form
one grand chorus of. How do we
know"
Just about the surest thing we know
in this world is the fact that Florida
will have good and wide state roads
in the near future-or at least will
start to build them soon. There are
objections of the absurd sort, illogical
but just so sure as sewing machines,
farm machinery, laborsaving devices
of all sorts were adopted over strenu
Gus objections, these highways will
come TO Florida-if we of the state are
to 60 forward to those heights which
rightfully belong to us. We have
heard no objections to the states de-
velopment, but undoubtedly there is
certain spirit among us that can
best be called "over-caution." This
is exhibited in greater degree in some
districts than in others-and those are
the backward districts where land
values show a slrggishness. 1t is a
fact that we have gone forward, have
increased in population, due to Flor
ida's incompatible everything"
There is no reason why slump should
occur unless the fault lies within. Are
there any conscientious directors" to
Florida's advancement?
One daily recently stated that the
Florida Grower was lone of the few
periodicals favoring the amendment"
The reason for this, getting right
down to cold, hard facts, is that the
Florida Grower has more knowledge
of the State of Florida than any
single agency in the state; it is in
touch with more future citizens of the
state than any publication within our
borders; it is more national in scope
than any other here; it is a source of
information about the state and con-
ditions here for people from the
steppes of Russia clear around the
globe to those same "steppees." We
KNOW what people inquire for and
what will attract the most Choicest
among these are GOOD ROADS. The
Grower wants this stellar attraction
enhanced, enlarged upon. We know
their value as citizen getter-and
that's the reason why.

serve the Master and will say you are not strong enough to hold out But Christ will give you grace and strength for every service.
 Tn order to succeed i'm Christian work you must realize that every day in your pathway you will meet with rubbish. would-be friends may try to advise you otherwise and it requires a -Syise head to keep the heart firm. Many treacherous workers today who claim to be at work for Christ for selfish motives are doing all they can to hinder his progress. The church of Christ must remove this rubbish. Remember following Christ is often against con- trary winds. often you try to find reasons for not doing work that you know ought to be done. Difficulties arc sometimes hard to overcome in Christ ian service. No building worth any thing has been erected upon short notice. Character is built by perform ing your duty daily and agreeably unto God, and for the betterment of your fellow men. Prayer first and then work. So work that you feel sure prayer will be(answered, and the work will be successful"

THIEVES AND ROBBERS" {"
 BY DR I E nuT.ARDK

i"Let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labor working with ms hands the thing that is good. Eph 4:2e.
 "I can speak very feelingly. on this subject having, been robbed four times within the last year. The time has come when there needs 10 be some plain speak ling along the line of old-fashioned hon. esty. Property is.>a divine institution and the man who violates the prlhelpie of ownership is a thief or robher.
 "There are fifty-Eeyen different Narie- ties of stealing, but the principle IS the sa me in them all There is the common thief, the midnight prowler, the one "no pliers and the one who plunders. Inere are the lowdown thugs and the aristo- Cratic thieves. but they all belong in the same class The last man who robbed our house seems to have been dandy or dude: he stole a gold pencil two botfles of psrfumery and my wfes pow der box and other things The negro who robs a hen roost and the white man who robs bank or steals a raihoao arc in the same class before God.
 There is the cheat and the aduiterer' the tnan who nisrepresents his goods, and the one who obtains money under false pretenses. There is the protiteer and the grafter; there is the man who sbirks his duty and the man who tails .to pay his honest debts; they all belong
 in the same class.
 "It is as wrong to steal rom a rlcn man as it is from a poor man; It IS as urone 10 steal from q corporation as IL is from an individual The man who dodges or lies about his tax is thlef: the man who boards a street car ana leaves without paying his fare, ana the man who dodges. conductor on q tr~ln are thieves.
