Boston, April 22-Massachusetts has

to pay advances in rent demanded OF
them and by joint action avoided evic-

80 days notice.
Two hundred tenants at Revere have
formed a corporation known as the
Tenants League to combat rent in
creases and have announced that they
will tolerate no more advances in rent
and requested aid from the city's To-

still in doubt.
An attempt to solve the problem by
arbitration has been made in Brock

board composed of two tenants, two
land lords and a fifth member to be
selected by the others is to decide
whether rents have been unduly adj

landlords and tenants.

At the suggestion of the commission
a bill has been introduced into the

commissioners found that many build

of the high cost of labor and materials

OUR WORKING CAPITAL.

Or utmost importance to the future
lof this city and county is the organ
ization of the Escambia County Ta1
payers Association, formed into q
temporary organization on Wednes-
day afternoon at the city hall, with
the avowed intention Of taking an or
ganized interest in the assessment
mirlage and expenditure Of the money
that the taxpayer drops into the pub
lie Golfers OF Pensacola and Escambia
county.
In other words. the taxpayers believ-
| ing that taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny and that Nwi1lful
waste has spelt woesful want" too
long in this section of the state. are
going to form into a body to know
when and wherefore the money goes
that so merrily turns the wheel Of the
municipal and county machinery of
Pensacola and Escambia, of which she
is the hub
In other words-the men and the
women of Pensacola have walked up;
for be it known unto all men that
many of the largest property owners
and those paying the highest taxes in
Pensacola are women. The men and
women have walked up to the fact that
there is something more to paying
taxes than just paying taxes. In
former years taxes were more or less
of a habit; something required by the
law that was a nuisance and that was
avoided in so far as was possible.
without getting into the tolls of the
courts
The people paid their taxes grud-
ingly and then, in effect. charged them
up on the debit colum of the ledger
and forthwith tried to forget them-and
spent the best part OF the time Gus
sing the city and county commits
sioners.
Then, simultaneously with many
other cities and counties in this state
and other states, they walked to the
realization that they were paying out
good money that should bring GER
tain returns on every dollar Of taxa
tion-and that they were not getting
those returns. They came to realize
that taxes were not something paid
out for the privilege of being allowed
to own property in a community, but
a levy that was taken in order that
the community and section might
have a working capital.
1t is how the working capital of
Escambia county and Pensacola is to
be spent, that the taxpayers organ
igation is designed to find out. And
they are going at it in systematic
way, backed by the manhood of the
Such a movement is almost 1imitless
in the possibilities that it opens up.
1t will mean better schools, first and
foremost; and better roads; and better
public service of every kind And it
will open out opportunities for future
of this section that have
been before undreamed of.

AN AMERICAN STATESMAN.

1 Nothing could more certainly prove
the strength of Senator Fletcher
throughout the state than the unan-
unity with which every section has
joined in the formation of Fletcher
Clubs, for the dissemination of straight
characterization and loyal support of
the senior senator who has done so
much for Florida.
| Shakespeare says, we are adver-
tised by our loving friends" and the
publicity which Florida has received
through the offices of this Fletcher.
one of the few southern statesmen of
the day, has done much to offset the
publicity of an entirely different char
acter, which the state has received,
due to the antics of another public
servant, who has taken upon himself to
assume the role of dictator.
Senator Fletcher is not only the
leading political figure Florida has
produced during the past decade, but
he is one of the leading figures of the
nation. He stands head and shoulders
above any man who has represented
the people of this state in Washington
for many years; and such a statement
means offense to no man. for his use
fulness to his state and his nation is
due not only to his intellectual at
ta1nmenIS ana
lions. but largely to the experience
which he has gained in his years of
service, and the contact with great
minds which those years have brought.
But perhaps more than anything else
which appeals to the people of Flor
ida. and which assures his return to
the senate is that splendid Ameri-
canism, that fighting loyalty, the high
simplicity of the man, rather than the
gifts of the statesmn.
Pensacola and Escambia county
have found in the senior senator the
best OF friends: he has been unfail-
lingly interested in every project for
Escambia county development which
has been called to his attention, as he
has been in the legitimate development
of any public enterprise in any part
of the state, which properly came un-
der governmental jurisdiction. and in
which he could lend aid.
The nation and the state are at the
most critical period Of history; the
months and years that are to come
will need the guidance of just such
men as Fletcher has proven himself
TO be-men who are sane well as
gifted: sensible as we'll as ardent;
men with a breadth of vision that sees
these United States a haven for seek
ers of liberty, not a country of re-
ligious persecution; man American
to the core.
The Journal believes that Fletcher
will win because it is unalterably true
that right must triumph, in the end.
The people are not fooled today any
more easily than in the days of Lin
coins famous declaration that you
fool an the people some Of the time,
and some of the people all the time
but you cannot fool all Of the people
any OF the time. The people are think
ing for themselves They do not need
to be told how to cast their ballots.
The American win cast his vote for
America every time, when it comes to
the scratch-and a vote for Fletcher
is Americanism, unadulterated with
the poison of persecution and undi-
luted of the highest principles of
democracy.
