The Golden Rule in Business.

Some years ago Willis L. King
yice-presdent of the Jones G. Laugh
lin Company, one of the greatest
steel concerns of America, in an ad-
dress before the American Iron and
Steel Institute took as his subject
The Golden Rule in Business"
Mr.. King claimed that in every
business relation, whether dealing
with customers, competitors or en-
ployes, it was possible to follow the
Golden Rule as the surest guide in
all business dealings. His address
was enthusiastically received by the
hundreds of leaders in the iron and
steel industry who were present.
Since that meeting there has been
a widespread development of the
thought that in all human relations
men should strive to put in prac-
tice the divine command to do unto
others as we would that they should

in human affairs would be inaugu-

Something to Thing About.

Is Florida resting in Obvious som.
violence while other and more enter,
prising states, with infinitely fewer
natural advantages are growing rich
by exploiting what advantages they
may possess? The question was sug,
gested by reading the interesting let
ter OF Ex-Fish Commissioner Hodges
published in Wednesdays Times. He
writes from California, comparing its
muchvaunted climate and scenery
with those of Florida, naturally, and
we might say necessarily, to the ad-
vantage of the latter. But what in
terested us most was his account of
the fishing interest and the compare
tive use made of it by the people of
the two states. Both have a long en-
tent of coast line, but Florida has
much more than California Florida
has an additional advantage over Cal
ifornia in a multitude of fresh wate:'

| 1t appears the American Fedora
ton of Labor is to raise fund OF
$40, 100000 to fight open shop. Per.
! sumably If the members choose to
subscribe the money they have a right
to do so. Outsiders can only specu-
late as to the sort of cutlery there
would be in labor circles if a group
of employers should announce the in
tention of raising a similar sum, or
one-twentieth of it, to promote the
open shop. This is a good question
for all citizens, laborers, employers
and neutrals to think over assiduous-
ly-the concentrated power for good
or evil of a $20,000,000 propaganda.
One thing, at least, is clear; in in
sisting on the closed shop and in
starting to impose it on the country
by the use of money in huge sums, it
seems obvious that the labor organi-
cations and their leaders should be
able to guarantee that their proposed
system will be free from graft and
oppression. The financial proposal

dragged out of the depths of the su-
per closed shop by the Lockwood
committee and its counsel.
Not only will the proposal to raise
money to establish labor combination
cause alarm at this time among cap
italists and contractors; not only will
it disquiet rentpayers, taxpayers and
consumers of commodities; it will be
apt to stir the minds of workmen,
above all, since they to judge from
the published evidence, are often if
not always the worst victims of the
of all liberty of action
from the field of labor. At least, it
seems plain that very ample assur-
ances should be given all round that
the $20.000,000 closed shop regime
will be conducted on a plane that
makes oppression or deception of
any one, employer or employe, i'm

lakes and the streams flowing frorl
them, which are teeming with great
variety of edible FISH.
But it would seem as though the
extent of our riches in these lines
was paralyzing our manifest duty of
been content generally with ship
ping the catches of our individual
| fishermen in iced barrels to nearby
points, neglecting the rich profits
which the business offered to capital
Eand energy. We have passed laws
protecting the mullet during the
spawning season, and are tolerably
vigilant in enforcing them, but we
were driven to it by the diminishing
catches of the fishermen, and the
prospect of the ultimate extinction of
this cheap and valuable food fish. Mr..
Hodges tells us that the mullet is not
a native of California waters, and is
practically unknown to the people.
The shrimp is another sea food of
much Importance here, of which Cal
ifornia has few varieties, and those
inferior. The Pacific coast oyster is
admitted to be inferior to that of the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts, in both size
and flavor.
But on the contrary they have
many varieties of fishes which we do
not have. and better than all that,
they have an intelligent idea of the
value of these natural gifts, and the
Importance of placing them before
the public in an attractive and easily
handled form. The people of Flori-
da consume great quantities of can
ned seafood, but a large proportion
of it bears California labels. A Flor
ida label is conspicuous by its alb
sence.
California is a great fish canning
state. Florida is not, although we
have the fish in great variety and
abundance, and an easier access to
the great markets of the east than
our sister state. We are neglecting
our manifest opportunities, and we
are losing by our neglect.
California has IL fish hatcheries
and one egg collecting station, and
eXpends a half million dollars annu-
ally in the conservation and propoga-
ton of her fish and game. She
planted 35 million young fish in her
streams in one year.
Florida has no fish hatcheries, but
a few public spirited citizens sent to
the national hatcheries at Washing !
ton not long since and got a few
thousand young bass which were
planted in a Florida lake and great |
TODD was made over it.
The fish and game of Florida con-
stitute one of it's great attractions for
winter tourists, and we spend thous- !,
ands of dollars for their entertain
ment and amusement, but compare
lively little to increase and make per-
manent the attractions which Nature
has given us. 1t is not about time
to change our methods?-Tampa |

A Times-Union reporter has delved
into the criminal records of Jackson
vile and says that he finds that crime
in the metropolis has increased this
year, under prohibition, in the pro-
portion of seven to eleven. He draws
no conclusion, merely mentioning the
fact, but the editorial page of that
paper may point to it as evidence that
prohibition does not prohibit. Some
scoffers, however, may draw the con-
clusion that, prior to prohibition,
many men got too drunk to steal or
beat their wives, but now they are
not disabled by intoxication.

In another part of this weeks
Herald will be found a cOmmunica-
ton firm Col. Wallace Chadman in
which he offers plan to get the
street in the eastern part of town
leading from Marian avenue to the
bay, opened up. The work proposed
by Col. Chadman would be an inn
provement worth more to the town
than any other that could be made
for the same amount of money, for
the reasons pointed out in his letter
to the editor. Col. Chadman pro-
poses that, since the town is not in
position to finance this work, proper
ty owners in the eastern part of town,
or in any part, for that matter, con-
tribute to fund to defray the cost
of opening the streets, and that the
editor act as trustee of the fund
The editor has no objection to acting
in this capacity and will be glad to
receive contributions. AS suggested
by the colonel, the wisdom of the i'm
provement should be apparent to all
and it is to be hoped the appeal for
funds will meet with ready and
liberal response.

SOME SUGGESTIONS

The charter board has invited citi-
zens to make suggestions as to pro-
visions to be embodied in the charter
they will prepare and criticisms of
their work. The Herald wishes to
submit suggestions as to some pro-
visions it thinks the new or amended
charter should carry-and when oc-
casfon seems to demand will be equal
ly as prompt with criticisms.
| If the charter is to be amended to
create commission and the office of
city manager-and that is the very
purpose for which the board was
Ielected-we believe that the manager
should be vested with the power to
hlre and fire every man, high or low,
who is to work under him, without
interference from the commissioners
or any other source, and he should be
charged with responsibility in keep
ing with his authority. If we are
going to have a manager-let's. have
a real MANAGER; not merely a
notch on a log or figurehead. The
commission manager plan has been
the greatest success in the towns and
cities where managers are given the
most power.
We believe that the new charter
should provide for five commission
ers, who will serve without pay, and
their terms should be four and six
years. One of the worst features of
the present form of government is
the short terms for which officers are
elected. We elect councilmen and |
Other officials for one year, practical |
ly sentencing them to failure, were !
they disposed to do something. At
least SIX months are required for the |
new officials to familiarize themselves |
with the duties they are expected to |
perform and it is Impossible to |
formulate constructive policies and |
carry them out in the re naming
six months-consequently what is
accomplished by the average
one-year official is usually represent
ed by a rimless cipher. Given four
or six years, the commissioners will |
nave chance to make and carry out |
plans for the towns Improvement |
and our government will become an
asset instead of liability. Provis-
ion should be made for the recall of
any commissioner who proves him
self inefficient, negligent or untrust-
worthy.
One of the five commissioners
should be charged with responsibility
for the improvement of parks and
streets and provision should be made
for an adequate fund to take care of
this. work.
The new or amended charter
should give the commissioners the
power to levy small tax for publ
city purposes. This is not permitted
Under the present charter, and a few
people have to bear burden for the
benefit of all. If we expect to keep
n step in the march Of progress we
must inform the world of the fact
hat we are on the map and that we
lave as many or more advantages
han the average town. Unless we

cry much, and it is unfair for a few

AS stated above, the charter board

rom citizens. and if any citizen ahas
suggestion or criticism to make and
links that weight would be added
o his or her idea by giving it publ
ity, the Herald will be glad 10 give ;

them have what you want, make it a

chant, anyway.
