A STUDY IN ECONOMICS.

DR.. +. A. Brink who for the past
10 years has been in charge of the
state laboratory located in Pensacola
has recently compiled statistics re-
garding tuberculosis conditions in Es-
Gambia county that should command
the interest of every qualified voter.
During the past seven years he has
discovered the presence of tuberculosis
in 400 residents of Escambia county
whose sputum had been sent to the
laboratory for examination by various
physicians. Statistics compiled by the
state board of health statistician and
sent to DIR. Brink show that there has
been an average of about 40 deaths per
year in Escambia county for some
time. According to reports made to
DIR. Brink there were in 1920, 43
death reports from Escambia county.
The National tuberculosis Association
estimates that there are from to 9
cases in every community for every
death from this disease. This would
indicate that there are at least 200
people In Escambia county giving their
disease to all susceptible people with
whom they come in contact. The
Metropolitan Insurance company esti-
mates that the loss in earning power
to the community for every death is
$1,000. This means that aside from the
economic drain upon the members Of
the family and charitable resources of
our community an annual loss in earn
ing power of $4,000 for the year 1920.
If we estimate $1,000 per year loss on
part of those who have the disease
but do not die we have an estimate
loss of 100000 year on account of
this disease.
On the other hand the value that
may accrue to the community on ac-
count of proper Institutional care for
the tuberculosis is well set forth by
DIR. David Lyman, superintendent of
the Gaylord tuberculosis Sanatorium
of Wallingford, Conn. DIR. Lyman
says that the first ten years of opera
ton cost 100000 but that investiga-
tion of activities of the patients after
being discharged shows those who
have been restored to health have add
ed more than 100000 to the wealth
of the country since returning to work
Ninety percent Of those who went in
the curly stages are now in good
health after ten years of work: sixty
per cent Of those moderately advanced
and ten per cent of those far ad-
vanced were restored to health. Thus
is shown the value of a we'll equipped
institution for the treatment of the
disease in it's early stages.
So far the effort made by this city
and county to combat this economic
loss. has been almost negligible. This
has been due not to lack of interest
or knowledge on the part of the Off
Gals intrusted with the care of public
health activities, but to lack of funds
to. adequately provide sanatorium ia
cilities. 1t is to be hoped that the
people of Escambia county will rally
to the most vital need of the day and
vote for the sanatorium next Tuesday.

NO WOMEN ON JuRIEs.

The question as to whether or not
women in Florida can be required or
permitted to serve on juries has been
decided in the negative by Attorney
General Buford, whose opinion in the
matter is set forth in the following
words
THE statute of Florida defining quail
ification of an elector and the statute
defining the qualification of a Juror
has no connection one with the other.
Neither has the 10th amendment to the
constitution of the United States any
effect whatever upon the statute of
Florida defining the qualification of
jurors. A person is not required TO be
registered to be eligible for Jury duty
In this state. Whether or not he has
ever qualified as an elector would not
touch his qualification as juror. Those
eligible to jury duty are: Male per-
sons above the age of 81 years, who
have resided in this state for one year
and in their respective counties for
six months, and who are citizens of the
state of Florida. and who do not come
within the exception: provided by
statute, therefore it Is clear that until
the legisla ture shall have changed the
statute no female person is eligible for
jury duty in the state of Florida"
Carrying his opinion of the rights
and duties Of women further, Mr.. Blu
ford insists that women must pay poll
taxes under the same conditions and
requirements as men. He says:
"lnasmuch as the 10Th amendment
went into effect in 1910, thereby Con-

Her towns and cities remain intact,
whole those of Belgium and France
are, or were, directly after the war,
mere heaps of ruins.
With the advance Of the troops to-
day Europe, or that war-torn portion
of it, is shown she has the backing of
the allies in her undertaking to rise
again. 1t will inspire the people Of that
area to greater activity knowing their
work will not be in vain.
Germany is only playing a game Of
bluff, she bluffed the allies out Of the
executions of those responsible for the
war, she sank the ships which the al
lies took. she has not met the demands
for the size oe the standing army, and
has also bluffed the allies out of the
first sum mentioned in regard to in
demnity.
1t is only a game of persistent di-
plomacy and opposition, which so far
has worked very successfully for the
Germans. They will whine and cry no
matter what terms are imposed, for it
would never do for the entente to think
them satisfied. And the bluff will keep
up as long as it works.-Orlando Re-
porter Star.

ferring the ballot upon the women of
the United States, it is my opinion
that the women of Florida could only
be required TO pay poll tax for one
year, but otherwise sthe payment Of
poll tax is a prerequisite to the quail
fication of a female voter just as it
provides in effect, that no law Of the
United States, nor of any state Of the
United States, shall discriminate
against the right of any person to vote
because of sex. Which seems that all
laws relative to qualification of vot-
ers must apply to male and female
alike. and for us to hold that man
must pay poll tax to quality to vote
and that a woman should not be re-
quired to do so, means a discrimina-
ton in favor of the female voter.
THE effect of the 10Th amendment
upon the statute of Florida defining
the qualification Of electors simply
was to eliminate the word male. 1t
is therefore N.Y. opinion, that a wom-
an, who is more than 81 years of age
and under SO years of age and who has
not lost a limb in battle must pay a
poll tax to qualify as a legal elector."

and other twenty fifty shekels and the
rest every man according to his sew
eraI ability.
Then up rose John Perry, and said,
I will be one Of twenty men to give
an hundred shekels.
Now every one knew John Perry
that he was poor man, and of no
great ability, but of good and honest
heart. And they were deeply moved
by his generosity. And nineteen other
men came across with am hundred
shekeIs each, and other twenty at
fifty shekeIs per, and the rest each ac-
cordfng to his ability or what he pre-
tended was his ability, and within a
week the money was all pledged, to be
paid spot cash on the next sabbath
day.
And on that day John Perry called
at the parsonage and handed the min
lister his contribution. And after he
had gone the minister looked, and be-
hold, it was five shekels.
And the minister called unto him the
nineteen men,. and he said, our dear
friend, John Perry, hath misunder-
stood. When he promised to be one
of twenty to give an hundred. he
meant to give the twentieth part of an
hundred.
And the nineteen men roared with
laughter. And they said, tell it not in
Gath. Behold, it inspired US to come
across, and that is well. Now then, let
US pay each of us five shekels more
and make up the share of John Perry,
and we VIII tell no man.
And they had a great banquet that
they might make merry over the burn
ing Of the mortgage, and they set John
Perry on high; and he smiled and was
happy. And they called on him for a
speech.
And John Perry said. 1t is not my
doings, but it is OF the Lord; and am
humbly thankful. And now, behold,
the church needeth a new furnace, and
the walls need to be re-decOrated, and
the minister should have d larger sal
airy. Let US raise four thousand shek-
els more, and l will start it with the
same sum that I gave before.
And the nineteen men whispered one
to another, and said, art thou game?
And they answered. We are no quit
tiers. We stay in the game and play
it like little men.
And behold they raised four thou
sand shekels more.
And that church took on new life
and was happy and prosperous from
that day forward.
And the nineteen men and the min
lister bound themselves with a great
oath that they would never tell this
little joke.
But this is a true story; and it
showeth how it sometimes cometh to
pass that very humble instruments are
chosen for the beginning/of great tasks.
And would there were many church
es and some other institutions with
men as unworldly and as generous as
John Perry.

PRESS COMMENT
The constitution-That's ALL


1t is passing strange that some of
the advocates of reappOrtionment base
their advocacy on sectional grounds
when, if the vote is cast on sectional
lines as the legislature is now consti-
| tuted, there will be no reapportion-
ment. 1t is strange that an effort
should be made to array south Florida
against north Florida when such an
effort is bound to cut both ways. The
argument that arrays one section
against the other arrays the other sec
ton against the first and the counties
of north Florida can prevent a reap
portionment if they will.
1t IS unjust to attack a whole section
of the state for what is done by men
who refuse to obey the constitution
whether they live in north or south
Florida. We have not noticed that
Lake is any more willing to lose a
representative than Nassau is, The
governor who is urging re-apportion-
ment lives in a county that would lose
a representative by it. Why denounce
north Florida?
In north Florida is included DuyaI
county which suffers more than any
other from this unjust apportionment.
1t takes nearly fifty thousand people
in Duval to elect one representative
and it does not take that number in
any other country. In at least one at
tack The Times Union has been in
Guided despite the fact this paper has
been urging legislative re-apportion-
ment for more than a quarter of a CEN
fury.
1t is passing strange that some Of
the advocates of e-apportionment
should abandon the legal ground on
which they stand and propose other
measures as Illegal as those which
have prevented the re-apportionment
OF the state. The constitution requires
re-apportionment of the state bv one
legislature in five and though the
present legislature is not one Of those
OF which re-appOrtionment is required
IL mas the power and will. do an act of
injustice II 1t does not make a reap
poruonment. But the constitution tells
now the state must be re-apportioned.
The e-apportionment must be based
on Inc state census, not on the federal
census. We would much prefer To
nave 1t based on the federal census but
the constitution settles that question
The constitution requires that the
state house of representatives. shall
consist of sixty-eight rnembers-not
more-and some of the advocates of
re-apportionment are demanding a
greater number. This would be no
more constitutional than the present
apportionment is and the representa-
ttves of the counties that would lose
representation by re-apportionment
Will naturally say: IF the constitution
Is to be thrown to the winds whv not
Keep for my county the representation
it now has ?"-Times-U Union.

Federal Taxes

Two things are imperative with re-
gard to federal taxation if it is not to
act as a halter on business and an in
superable barrier to reconstruction.
Taxes must be lower; they must be at
tended with less difficulty to the tax
payer.
So far as tax reduction is concern
ed, 1t is a matter of cutting out the
non-essentials. The government must
live on less. The proposal to expend
billions for the maintenance of the
biggest navy in the world and the
establishment of universal training on
land, must wait-the longer the better.
Besides, this country should come to
some definite understanding with re-
gard to the allies about the repayment
of the money borrowed from the Unit
ed States. Between a billion and bill
lion and half dollars are due on in
terest. If that could be collected this
year it would mean reducing the aver
age American tax receipt about one
third. In other words, one-third of the
taxes paid by American citizens this
year will be to support foreign govern
ments. That is passing beyond the
stage of calm endurance.
The income taxes should be collected
without imposing an additional tax in
time and expense upon the tax payers
aggregating many hundreds of mil
lions lost and expended in preparing
income tax returns. So complicated
are these returns that none but ex-
perts can even guess as to how they
should be made out. 1t is enough to
require every citizen to turn over a
big percentage of his earnings to the
government, without imposing upon
him the burdens of the present law.
If times begin to pinch the burden
of taxes will become insupportable I'M
less the government exercises some
foresight in trying to make it lighter

PUTTING Their Words Into Effect

The action of the allies in making
good their threat to occupy German
territory unless the reparat:on de-
mands imposed upon that country were
agreed to by yesterday noon, will have
a most beneficial effect upon that
troubled area. 1t will show Germany
the entente powers have at last de-
termined to carry out their threats and
that she must do her part in repairing
the great devastated areas which her
troops are responsible for. 1t has been
said, though Germany was beaten in
arms she won the war, and this is no
doubt true when it is realized all the
fighting was done beyond her borders.
