representatives of the Alaskan En- gineering commission, the postal de- partment, and the forestry service. The people of Seattle and Alaska were given to understand that the committeeman would be glad to hear individuals connected with the fish ing and mining industries, and a number were on hand to express their views.
 "Dr." Brooks said that one of the plans submitted for bettering transportation conditions in Alaska is proposal to tax all ships enter ing Alaskan waters, and to use the money thus obtained to subsidize certain ships for covering remote points. R. M. Semmes, member of the Riggs Alaska Shipping board, and Maurice D. Leefey, special coun- sel, are representing Governor Riggs at the hearings.
 Report Submitted.
 The Alaska and Transportation bureaus of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce have submitted a lengthy report to the committee, urging the members of the committee to visit the Territory, the argument being advanced that Alaska is the proper place to study Alaskan conditions. The report recommends that the committeeman arrange to hold hear ings in the Territory. The report also urges adequate and low-cost

wheat were also displayed, and a quantity of oats, barley and other grains and all sorts of fruits and vegetables, gathered by Prof. c. C. Georgeson. The agricultural condi- tions actually existing in the North land were described by Prof. George son, who declared in the course of his address to the committeeman that Alaska is able to support d population of three million on home products and have considerable left for export.
 Fur Farming.
 F. K. Whippley, owner of fox ranch near Seward, appeared before the committee after Prof. Georgeson had addressed the visitors. He ex- plained the possibilities of fur farm ing. Nathan Eckstein, of Schwa- bacher Bros., discussed Alaska trade and shipping facilities.
 G. R. Vause, a mining man, told of conditions in the Susitna coun- try. John R. Cobb, head of the de- partment of fisheries of the Uni versity of Washington, and repre- sentatives of the chambers of com merce of Juneau, Seward, Nome and other Alaskan towns were heard
 The hearings are executive and nothing will be given out by the committeeman for publication until after their report has been submit ted to Washington.

water transportation, and makes a plea that Alaska mail be carried as mail and not as freight. Coast sur Iveys are suggested, and reimburse ment by the Government to the steamship lines for the increased in Isurance rate demanded because of the perils of Northern navigation.
 The report urges further the de- velopment of Alaska with careful attention to the transportation prob lem, including local freight and pass enger service for outlying localities. The use of Alaska coal by steam ships operating in Alaska waters is also urged. Alaska coal should be used in Alaska industries, the re. port points out, and the use of California fuel oil eliminated wher- ever possible.
 The report concludes with a strong appeal to the committee to visit Alaska for the purpose of in- vestigating conditions on the ground, instead of relying altogether upon previous reports and the statements of those appearing before the hear ings.
 Exhibit Prepared.

INDIGO

Monday, Uncle Peter Durisoe was
in town from east of the river, shak-
ing hands with his friends and show
ing some fine specimens of the in
.digo plant. We should think indigo
would prove a valuable part of the
flora of Marion county. Indigo had
its origin in eastern Asia, but has
spread all over the temperate zone
1t was first brought to Florida by
Trumbull, when he established his
colony of Minorcans at New Smyrna
in the latter part of the eighteenth
century, and has from there spread
to various parts of the state. Indigo
makes bright blue blue color, which
can be used as basis for other col
ors. 1t was in great use in the South
during the war between the states,
and strange to say formed the main
ingredient from which Confederate
grey uniforms and clothes were dyed
The southern straightforward mostly
women-made beautiful colors out OF
it too. Great quantities of the plant
are growing in Mr.. Durisoe's neigh
borhood, and some of these days ii
may regain its ancient glory.

MARION BOOKLETS MUST BE
CAREFULLY DISTRIBUTED

The new booklets of Ocala and Mar
ion county have been received by the
Marion County Board of Trade and
are ready for distribution. In view OF
the expensiveness of the booklet, the
board of governors of the trade body
has decided that as careful distri-
button as possible shall be made. So
far as is feasible, it is the desire that
the booklets get into the hands Of
bona fide inquirers concerning the
city and county. The desire is to re-
duce the wastage of distribution to a
minimum. The booklets will be mail
ed free to all bona fide inquiries re-
ceived from outside the city and
county and will be distributed free to
all outsiders who call at the Board
of Trade room and register. 1t las
been decided that our own people in
the city and county shall be charged
ten cents each for the booklets.

the taxpayers into voting for at the
election next November. Col. Davis
says:
Twenty Millions
Will the people of Florida stop and
think? VIII they calmly consider
what bond issue, equal to five per
cent "of the total tax assessment of
the state at the time of issue" would
mean to the already overburdened
taxpayers of Florida. Yet that is
what it is proposed to allow the leg
islature to do. If you vote Eyes" IN
the election next November on the
amendment to Section 6, Article TX
of the state constitution, you will
give the legislature that power. The
proposed amendment reads as fol-
lows:
"Sec. 6. The legislature shall have
power to provide for issuing state
bonds only for the purpose of repell-
ing invasion or suppressing insurrec-
ton, or for the purpose of redeeming
or refunding bonds already issued at
lower rate of interest, or for the
purpose of acquiring, building and
maintaining system of good roads
and bridges throughout this state
under such regulations as may be
prescribed by an act of the legisla-
ture; provided, that any bond issues
authorized in pursuance hereof for a
system of good roads and bridges
shall not exceed in amount five (5)
per cent of the total tax assessment
of the state at the time of issue.
approved June z. 1919."
Every conceivable argument is be-
ing made now by the "good roads
people" to induce the voters of the
state to swallow that amendment.
They tell you the interest on these
bonds and the sinking fund viii be
paid by automobile owners or by a
tax on gasoline. We want to tell you
now that such assurances as these
are absurd. They will tell your fairy
stories about what other states are
proposing" to do. They will sing
you siren songs about how it will
| help the state. There are, of course,
| many honest and even intelligent men
who will believe these things. There
are honest men who will urge you to
vote for this amendment. Back be-
hind these honest men is a little
army of grafters. If this amendment
is adopted it will corrupt the politics
of Florida. If it becomes a part of
the constitution the legislatures may
continue to issue bonds as they
please. Read the last line of the pro-
posed amendment: Give per cent of
the total tax assessment of the state,
at the time of issue" Any time-all
times.

The Gainesville News, in a we'll
written article. shows the inconsis-
tency of the new Sunday law, which
is certainly the limit for foolishness.
If we are going to take our laws
from the bible. let us take them lit
orally. No Sunday law passed by any
government has ever conformed with
the bible. The Jews wouldn't keep
their Sabbath laws, and no commu-
nifty in the United States is going TO
keep Sunday laws. It will evade them
somehow Ocala is breaking The

was shut down the good people would

THE SEMINOLE"

Not from any Indifference, but
from scarcity of the time needed to
fully study the subject. we have de-
layed writing a review of "The Sem

of the University of Florida, sent rs
by our young friend, Patsy Gillen,
who having graduated from the Ocala

his way through the classes of our

some of the latter. We should first
mention Miss Louise Grumbles of

also mention the well-known face of
