Gainesville and down through the
center of the peninsula To construct
these roads would require better than
S50, 0,000,0 600 at present prices. Roads
as here indicated would materially
benefit every person in Florida.
If the state is going to bond then
concrete proposition should be pro-
posed, specifying the roads to be cone
structed, and fixing a definite amount
Of bonds to be issued, otherwise it IS.
unwise and dangerous.
The advocates Of this present pro-
posed constitutional amendment pro-
pose that twenty millions Of bonds
can be paid, interest and sinking
fund, out of a tax on automobiles.
This is pure sophistry, and an argu-
ment to catch votes on the blind side.
Automobiles are now taxed and the
proceeds arising therefrom go into
the general revenue fund. school fund
and other funds. To divert this au-
tomobiIe tax from these funds to the
state bond fund would mean that we
/ would have to add taxes to other
property to supplement the funds de-
pleted Again:
The proposed constitutional amend
ment does not fix the source from
which the interest and sinking fund
shall be raised. This is left entirely
with the Legislature. and the proper
| ty taxed for this purpose can be
changed at each succeeding legisla-
ture. Again
/ Any tax raised in the state Ct
Florida is bound TO resolve itself into
burden on the state as whole. I
viii venture to say that fifty per cent
Of the owners Of automobiles IN the
state of Florida are rather to be
/ pitied than taxed They pay an ex-
orbitant tax in the price Of the ear,
and then continuous tax for gas and
repairs. They have my sympathy.
And again:
j If this constitutional amendment IS
adopted and the legislature passes 3
bin authorizing the issue Of bonds.
and the bill provides that the interest
and sinking fund for said bonds shall
be raised by a tax on automobiles
only, then / venture to say that no
bond buyer will invest his money in
the bonds. To make those bonds
merchantabIe they are going to have
to be made a charge against all the
property in the state Of Florida.
How any level-headed, practical
business man can give his support 20
this proposed constitutional amend
ment is more than / can understand

AGAINST THE 5000, 900
BOND AMENDMENT
Argument by Leading Lawyer and
Veteran Legislator

Editor Times Union: On the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
authorize the legislature to issue road
bonds equal to five per vent of the
assessed value of the state:
In the writer's opinion this is
most dangerous and unbusinesslike
provision to be Incorporated in the
organic law of the state. 1t would be
infinitely better and more logical to
propose and adopt constitutional
amendment to bond the state for fifty
million dollars for the construction
of definitely proposed roads out of
brick, concrete or other permanent
material than to incorporate this
proposition of a continuous issuance
of bonds without allowing the voters
chance to express their approval
or disapproval.
The good roads enthusiasts want
roads. They feel they must have
roads. They feel that no price is too
high to pay to get roads. They are
vaguely conscious that it is going to
take money, and an unending supply
It is easy to sell folks on credit.
If they are figuring on what this
constitutional amendment can be
made to yield, and Il presume they
are figuring. they reach about the
following result:
Present state valuation $400,000,-
900, bonds 100000
This money spent and less than six
hundred miles of permanent road con-
structed. Not enough to reach from
Pensacola to Miami. Other sections
of the state insisting that they are
entitled to some roads, too.
Force assessment of the state to
full value. Result:
Valuation $1,000. 100000 or more,
additional bonds. $50, 100000.
OF course, after the first $20,000,-
900 has been issued the subsequent
issues will be for smaller amounts
authorized at each ensuing session of
the legislature. After the first twen-
ty million have been issued and
spent, where we do not know, then
there will be Wild scramble by other
sections of the state to get their
share. At this point the trading IN
the legislature begins. About this
time the bills authorizing the issue OF
bonds will provide that the proceeds
shall be spent on definite roads. Al
each session of the legislature the
longest pole will get the persimmon
1t will be every fellow for himself
and all will have to pay the bill, in.
cluding those who get nothing. The
state will be involved in an enormou.
fixed indebtedness that will continu.
to grow until this particular constitu
tional amendment has been repealed
When the necessity for repeating ha!
been driven home the question vii
arise: Those who have received moth
ing viii want to hold on until the.
get theirs, and those who have re
ceived what they are entitled to O
more will be ashamed to repeal. or /

justice to those who have receive,

Folks who are behind this amend
ment will say: You can trust tn
legislature to do the right thing.

to devote to the work. The publisher
of the small daily must be an all
round newspaper man. He has to
be in direct contact with all the de-
tails of the office and to give his per-
sonal attention to a dozen different
branches of the work, besides a con-
tinual drive at news gathering and
preparatory work for the press. Then
he has to roll up his sleeves, take
charge of the mails, the books, the
collections, the subscriptions, the adj
vertising contracts and keep them in
systematic and ineligible man
ner. If a man does all this for many
years it will drive him to dreams of
fairer lands.
Not SO with the big daily Every
department of that work is under
a specialist, and they have plenty of
man-size jobs, which are however
well within practical limitations and
promptly despatched. The entire
equipment is standardized. There are
no pumpkins around the letter cast
ing machines and no "waps" in the
pressrooms-no one of the hundred
vSxations that cause delay, distract
and dishearten the manager of the
one-night stand daily. He is a hero
who gives ten years of his life to that
job.

tale. The little daily looks simple |

veteran of the shop has an adequate

ing.

A Fine Work.

An article last week concerning
the completion of the Grove Creek
levee on the new Gibbs highway was
laid over to make room for Santa
Claus ads. Mr.. Mcneil, former May
or of Rives, and one of the leading
spirits of that fine community, was
the contractor, and he had just com
pleted the job when we .1ad an op-
portunity to ride over to Gibbs. This
Ievee is built to conform to the stann-
ard width of the new road. It is not
narrow like the old levees in the
county and therefore the cost was
much greater. Mr.. McNeill tells us,
and there is reason to believe what
he says, that the county has value
received for every foot of this work.
What money the contractor earned
from the job would not build an
aeroplane for Santa Claus. The con-
tractor says it gives him pleasure to-
put the profits of the work in the
