ALTERNATIVE HERD LAW"

The newspapers of Florida (and
they are no small power) are practi-
cally unanimous in the demand that
statewide no-fence law be en-
acted by the next Legislature, but to
us there seems but little chance to
secure such a law at this time. A
no-fenCe law will not be secured by
its partisans demanding that candi-
dates for the legislature pledge them
selves to vote for it, for except in a
few counties every candidate will
have an opponent who will poll a
larger vote. Practically every small
farmer in the state has a few cattle
or hogs for which he would have TO
provide pasturage if statewide no
fence law was passed and all these
could be depended upon to fight and
vote against candidates favorable to
the proposed law; and then the big
cattle owners are to be reckoned with
before and after the election.
We do not believe that at this
time a statewide no-fence law is
politically possible" and will not be
until the newspapers and other
agencies have educated those who
may now be honestly opposed to it
to the necessity for the law and con-
vnced these that it would be a good
thing not only for them but for the
whole state.
Last week the Lees6urg CONNER
cial proposed an alternative herd
law" and it seems that such a meas
urc might gain enough support in
the legislature to secure its enact
ment, for Legislators from sections
opposed to no-fencc law could vote
fer it without getting in bad with
their constituents.
Briefly, the plan outlined by
the Commercial, which has been
tried out in Illinois and possibly
other states, is this: A statewide no
fence law, holding the owner Of cat
tie, or the cattle themselves, respOn-
Gible for any damage to crops, pro-
perty or person, but with provisions
for an alternative local option meas
ure for any county in the state which
desires to substitute for the strict
fencing of cattle herding law that
will hold the owner equally respon
sible for damage but will permit him
to have his cattle herded instead of
fenced.
Such a law would work no hard
ship or injustice in those counties
whose people do not want no-fence
aw and on the other hand would !
give others what they want and need; !
would not deprive the cattle inter
ests of the immense free ranges but
would give protection to the farmer
against the herds that now roam and
menace him constantly.
Florida's field crops last year were
yalued at $115, 100000; the hogs and
,attle of the state are worth less than
1876, 100000. Under the present law
stock is given greater protection than
human beings. If farmers fields
ire ravaged by stock he has no re-
course, but should he kill or injure
re stock he would be compelled to
pay for 1t. None but the most un-
reasonable would contend that there
s any justice in the present laws and
he present state of affairs must be
sooner or later.
The Commercials plan for an al
herd law" seems to offer
the only hope for relief in the near
future and we hope that it may be
given serious consideration by the
next legislature.

Commenting on our editorial in
which we urged the necessity of a
hard surfaced road running in a
direct line from Punta Gorda to Fort
Myers, the Estero American Eagle
says: The Herald is certainly right
in agitating this matter. With the
hard surfaced road now building
north from Olga bridge to the Lee
county line, and soon to be complet-
ed, there will be a gap of some six
teen or eighteen miles of heavy sand
remaining to be hard surfaced by De-
Soto County before Fort Myers and
Punta Gorda are linked together as
they should be. 1t will then be Ar
cadia and Punta Gorda for it as to
which beats the other to the Lee
County line with a hard surfaced
road and all the through traffic ad-
vantages which this will surely
bring"

THE sLuFFERs

Some of the boys who go out for
summer work on farms and other jobs,
come home reporting that a lot Of
the fellows won't work except when
the boss is looking at them. A good
conscientious worker naturally feels
that he does not get any credit.
The other fellows put in tremendous
licks when the manager is in sight
but the rest of the time they fool and
loaf. Yet the boss has ways of HIS
own for knowing who is doing the
real work He does not depend mere
ly on what he sees.
Any man capable of taking the
management of any kind of work
sizes up correctly the ability and
Willingness of his subordinates. The
buffers who put up the false fronts
are more transparent than they real
ize. From Unexpected sources the
story of their unsteadiness leaks
around to headquarters while the
good worker is reported as always on
the job and he is the one who gets
the favorable recommendation.
