OCALA HONORED BY VISIT Of
\ DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS

for nationally connected up system
OF highways, to be built under federal
engineer supervision and require
ments, to be maintained by patrol
system, and to connect every state in
the union. They pointed to the system
OF state roads, as designated by the
state department, to connect up every
county seat in the state, and stated
that this system could be built in
about six years by bonding, and that
il would take about twenty years or
more by direct taxation method In
answer to the objection that many of
the counties have already bonded and
have good roads and would therefore
not want an additional tax to help the
backward counties, the speakers point
ed out that the state roads must con-
form to federal requirements, be not
less than sixteen feet wide and of a
permanent character. The speakers
said that most of the roads already
built in the state were nine feet and
would therefore have to be widened
and in most cases did not meet federal
specifications in other respects and
furthermore that there is the state
and federal maintenance of the roads
TO be considered.
In answer to the contention that
the proposed amendment would give
the legislature power to bond the
state at every session to sum of not
exceeding five per cent of the total
assessment. the speakers called atten-
tion 10 the fact that the word issues"
in the amendment is plural. They also
stated that before bond buyers would
purchase the bonds a test of the
amendment and its provisions would
be made in the court. They stated
that the psoponents of the bond issue
would usge tsat the legislature bono
for only such amounts as can be eco
nominally expended by the state board
department. the two-years periods be-
tween sessions of the legislature.
In connection with the auto license
plan of retiring the bonds, Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Richardson explained the way
il would affect the licenses. Mr.. Mil
Ter stated that license now S. a year
would be raised to $3.50; a license
now costing S12 would be raised to
SIS. and so on. He stated that the
difference would more than be taken
care of by saving in wear and tear
gas, oil. time and other factors, with
good roads TO use instead of bad.

Hon. w. E. McGahagin, commander
Of the Marion Camp of Confederate
Veterans, has returned from the reun-
ion at Houston, Texas, and was de-
lighted with the trip, and says that the
meeting was one of the most enjOya-
bic that has yet been held. Texas
threw her gates ajar. and in every
way her hospitality was unbcunded.
Forty-fve hundred OF the old war-worn
vets answered to roll call, the Sons
and Daughters were there in numbers
and there wer more than fifty thou
sand visitors The ARRANGEMENTS
were complete in every detail, and no
restaurant excelled the meals served
at the mammoth tables in the mess
hall. He stopped over in Galveston,
New Orleans and other cities: visited
the immense rice and cane fields and
richly enjoyed every moment of his
stay. The speeches and responses
were eloquent, and breathed the spir-
it OF fraternity and good will Com.
mander McGahagin may later on give
the readers of the Banner the benefit
of his observations and the more
thrilling events of the big reunion.

BY United Press.
New York, Jan. 2S--Nineteen and
twenty is destined TO witness re-
newed efforts on the part of Officials
OF electric railway systems through
ont the United States to obtain au-
thority to charge still higher fares
than we're granted the public service
corporations in 1919 and 1918.
In poll of SO cities taken by the
United Press, reports showed that in
only twelve cities fares have not
been raised, while in the other Al in
creases Of from a fraction OF a cent
10 and cents have been granted.
In eleven OF the twelve cities
where the cost a car ride remains the
same. however either definite steps
have already been taken looking TO
ward revision of the fare in favor
Of the operating companies, or adver
tising campaigns are being put on tc
prepare the public mind for later
demand. In only one city has there
been an actual downward revision OF
the fare.
Increased costs of labor, steel, cop
per, wire and the hundred and one
other kinds of materials necessary tt
the operation Of an electric line has
been the one outstanding reason al
vanced by the corporations in ask
ing for more money. The old nicke
that used to be enough to pay all eX
penses and then produce a respectable
profit now pays only about 21s to
cents toward the upkeep and opera
tion of the roads, officials argue.
In several cities, notably New Yorl
municipal bus lines have been put il
operation, substituting for various ca
routes. New York's riding public ha
for several months been bombardet
with Propaganda for an advance in far
on surface, elevated and subwa.
lines. The fare has remained at
cents. however, although two or thre
companies suspended transfer privil
eges and ceased to operate cars on
few lines
In Chicago the state public utilitie
commission granted the surface an
elevated lines authority to raise thei
farss from cents to and cent:
respectively. Recently, however, whe
examination showed the companie
prospered too greatly on the advance
fares, the increases were withdraw
and now the cars may be ridden i
the lake metropolis for 6 cents.
