Senator Fletcher Wins.

people that everywhere that supposed
strength was distant from the people
who were hearing of it. A man in
Tampa would look around and see
nothing but Fletcher, while hearing
that 'in West Florida Cats is running

would look around and see nobody for
anyone but Fletcher. and then hear

If what Fl. j. Shannon, manager of
la British concern says. is true, we
lshall all soon be wearing English
homespun. He declares that suits that
are retailing in the United States for
from $50 to $50 can be bought from
the British firm which he represents
for $1,000 each, and can be retailed at
$3.50 and yield a 90. per cent profit.

tail merchants are getting from fifty to
seventy-five per cent profit.

1t is refreshing to note that the state

the woman vote had been spent before
instead of after the converting of the
last legislature, the women would vote
in November, and democracy might be
assured.

The Bonding Proposition.

The DeSoto County News was pre-
mature and gave tits o. k. to a matter
which, upon further and more careful
consideration, it does not favor. Mis-
led by the way in which the matter
was presented, we unqualifiedly en-
dorsed the proposition to bond the
entire state for per cent of it's valu-
alton and turn the money over to the
state roads department for expenditure.
We believe that this would be the
wrong thing to do, and hope that every
voter who reads our paper will vote
against this constitutional amendment
for the reasons hereinafter given.
In the first place, it has been our
experience that road work done under
the supervision of the county commits
sioners has been done quicker, better,
and at less expense than that done
under the state roads department.
Therefore, it would be better to bond
each county for good roads and let the
work be done by counties under an
agreement between the commissioners
of the different counties as to con-
nections and terminals.
In the second place, South Florida
would be compelled to pay out more
money than she received remunera-
ton. II the money was given to the
state roads department to expend, the
department would expend that money
wherever it chose and South Flor
ida has more roads already completed
than the other parts of the state; hence
it would receive less.
In the third place, there is a plan
on foot, it is said, to increase the Ii
cense on large cars in order to reduce
taxation as much as possible. AS Is
per cent. of these cars are in South
Florida. this section would pay three
fourths OF this extra license money.
The state roads department has not
been as careful in its expenditures of
public moneys as it should, and state
property is not taken proper care Of
Look at the state road trucks stand
ing, unused, and exposed to all sorts
Of weather.
Vote against this amendment. We
are in favor of good roads, but do not
believe that this is the proper way to
get them.-DeSoto News.

BUDGET MUST
BE DECREASED
TENTATIVE SUM $4,000 TOO HIGH
Committee Will Meet Next Thursday to
Hear Citizens and TO Set the
Final Budget

While but little comment is heard on
the tentative budget of expenses for
the county the coming year, it is likely
that a large number Of citizens will
join the county court and the advisory
budget board when they meet Thurs
day, December %. to set the final bud
get. The tentative budget calls for a
total fund Of $235, Ola. At least S26 600
must be pruned from this sum, it is
said, in order to come within the six
per cent limitation as set by law.
Those who have compared the years
budget with that Of last, say that a
heavy cut can be made on the bridge
fund, tentatively set at $40, ,00n. The
county raised sSl6. 00O for bridges last
year, but only $l2 600 was spent, al
though several concrete bridges ard
culverts were constructed. The tenta-
tive figure of SIG. 900 for the market
road fund will probably we cut several
thousand dollars.
The county's portion of the state tax
this year will be 1913, 1872. an increase
of about $50, 900 over last wear. Ap-
proXimately 500. 600 of this, voted un-
er the two mill elementary school bill,
and other items will be exempt in com
putting the six per cent limitation.
Clerk Shoemaker is expecting to re-
ceive letter from the State Tax Com
mission before next week, giving full
details of sums that are exempt in ar
irving at the six per cent increase.

OFFICERS GATHER IN
BARRELS ON RAID

Sheriff Johnson, accompanied by
Deputy Sloat and Roadmaster Nichols,
raided an isolated cove on the Colum-
bia near Cascade Locks Tuesday. con-
fiscating IA barrels of corn mash. The
barrels, an oil stove and other para
phernalia were brought here by county
truck and placed in the county garage.
The barrels are of oak slaves and will
probably be sold to vinegar manufac-
turers.
The officers learned of the activity of
moonshiners in the vicinity of the Cas-
cades about y month ago and since
then have bad the cove under observa-
ton. The Illicit manufacturers, how
ever, grew alarmed and apparently
permanently abandoned their mash.
Their distilling apparatus had been re-
moved. Water for the outfit was
pumped by underground pipe from the
liver, and pits Aad been dug for refuse.
The mash optained by officers, it ia
said, would have made $50 e. lions of
corn whiskey. Strong susplcions of
officers attach to individuals of the
district. it is said, but it was impos-
sible to obtain proof of their illegal ac-
tivities.
