Insect Idiot.

Scientists tell us that when a grass
hopper catapults his corporate self
into space by the propulsive power of
his hinged hopping poles he has no
idea where he is going to light. 1t
may be in the lake or the brush fire
or the kerosene can or the pansy bed
1t is all the same to him. Examine his
countenanee. He looks the perfect
fool: At the top of the head two
bullying eyes as expressive as the eye
of a dead carp; and below this Is
nose like wooden plowshare. This is
all. There is no forehead. no brain
and no room for one. The grasshop-
per, we find, is an insect idiot. The
best he ever did was to keep out from

FOR FEDERAL AID.

Both the democrats and republi-
cans, as expressed in their platforms,
favor federal appropriation in CO.
operation with states for the construc-
ton of highways. In order to receive
the benefits of federal aid to be ap--
portioned to the state of Florida, it
will de necessary for this state to
provide funds to meet the same. I'm
less the proposed amendment to the
state constitution is adopted at the
November election, this will mean an
increase in the state tax levy of at
least one mill, for it is reasonable to
expect that Florida will receive from
one million to a million and a half
dollars per year in federal aid for
roads, provided the state meets this
apportionment with an equal amount.
For the purpose of meeting federal
aid for roads during the years 1919
and 1920, the legislature enacted a
law providing a two mill levy, for
these two years This two mill levy
with the taxes of 1920. To meet any
additional federal aid it will be nee
essary to provide additional funds. In
cailig attention to this fact, the st.
Augustine Record says:
distinction of being the most back
ward state in the Union, through fail
ure to provide for meeting federal aid
for roads, something must be done
towards raising the amount neces-
sary. There are just two ways of do
ing tan additional state tax levy,
or state bond through the adoption of
the proposed constitutional amend
rnant What are the ne0u1a coinc IN
do about it?
"a state bond issue can be taken
care Of with the revenue derived from
the ,moter vehicle license tax-the au-
tomobile licenses-without the neces-s
sity of one cent of state taxation to
pay interest and create a sinking
fund. The bond issue funds will be
supplemented by the amount of fed
eral aid apportioned annually. Vote
for bonds, and secure the federal aid
when available"
