ASKS INFORMATION

Ocala, Fla, Sept. A, 1920.
Editor Star: I notice in this weeks
issue Of the Star, in your short but
Econsoling article on the Effects Of
Freight Rate Increases you consider
only the rate on the finished product
from some shipping point to Ocala.
There are still a few more things /
would like to know about this IN
crease, therefore viii you permit me
to ask a few questions in order that
i may get the information desired and
perhaps others will be interested
along the same lines. Is not this in
crease on raw materials as well as the
finished products and does it not cost
more to get the raw material to the
factory than it does to send the man
Hufactnred article out Z Il athere not
already a very high rate on vegeta-
bies and perishable products? What
then viii be the increase on such pro-
ducts per crate of oranges, beans,
cabbage, lettuce and the like from
0cala TO Chicago, New York or some
other northern city, Will the con-
sumner pay this much more for these
products or must the producer deduct
lit from his selling price? How far
win this increase go to affect the
prices of fertilizer, crates, farm ma
chinery and the like? Also what eff
feet viii it have on labor; if the rail-
road men get higher wages viii not
the producer have to pay higher
prices for labor also? Can we hope
to reduce the cost Of living by in
creasing the cost Of production?
You will please give these ques-
tons some consideration in your next
weeks issue of the Star.
Very truly yours,
j. R. Shearer.
We regret to say we can't enlighten
Mr., Shearer He seems to be of the
opinion that we wrote the article ne
refers TO. We didn't even read it. ex-
scept TO read proof on it. 1T was print
ed at the request of the railroads and
for the same reason that their time
tables are printed for the informa-
ton Of our readers. We didn't know
while reading the proof, whether il
was consoling or not, and we beg tc
inform Mr.. Shearer that collecting
the information he requires is the
work Of a special writer and not that
of an editor His best course is Il
consult the freight agents Of The
railroads. As for the Stars position
on exorhitant rates and extortionate
salaries, Mr.. Shearer should know
what it Is 1t has been stated EN-
phatically IN good many issues d
the paper.

GHOST OF A SHOW
Miami Herald)

Miami Herald)
Advocates Of the bond amendments
ito the state constitution are mislead-
ing the people IN their propaganda
with reference to the way i'm which
the interest on the bonds and the
sinking fund to repay them are to be
repaid.
Their statement Is that the added
expense to the state will be taken
care of entirely BY raising the pres
ent license tax on automobiles fifty
per cent
They figure that there will be an
increase In the number OF automobiles
used in the state and that it will
never be necessary to impose a tax
upon the real and personal property
OF Che tsate in order to maintain and
repay these bonds
The few newspapers that are sup
porting the project, voicing the other
supporters OF the amendment, seem
+ to take it for granted that that plan,
by raising the automobile license, will
Ecertainly be adopted by the legis1a-
Iture.
VI course they nave no guarantee
that the legislature will follow the
lplan laid down. They do not know
THAT successive legislatures, after
1921, will even consider the automo-
bile license tax as means of paying
interest and sinking fund on the
bonds. There is no certainty about
lit.
The amendment itself prescribes
no way III which the bonds are to be
cared for and ultimately paid 1t
leaves all that to the legislature. with
no limitations whatever.
And vet the bond amendment sup
porters IRE going out over the state
and are declaring that the neople Will
never feel the taxes on the bonds, FOR
the automobile owners are to pay the
aent;re bill.
1 They do not dare to do anything
else. H ii were generally known that
] the bonds were 10 be paid by 4 tax on
the real and personal property in the
state, the amendment would not
stand a ghost of a show before the
people.
