PLAN TO INCREASE
STATE ROAD FUNDS
(Rv IOHN c. TRIcEN

TALLAHASSEE, April i4.-Senator
Eaton introduced a bill in the senate to-
day to combine the inspection forces Of
he state Oil and gasoline inspection and
the pure food inspection and providing
that the inspection fee on gasoline should
be raised from one-eighth of a cent per
gallon to one cent per gallon. This
money now goes into the state roads fund
and last year at one-eighth of one cent
per gallon, raised the sum of $55, 600. Sem
ator Eaton says. He calculates that with
the economies in administration likely to
be affected and with the increased cost
of inspection. it should be possible to
raise s445, 900 to $685. 600 a year for The
use of the. state road department If this
bin is passed. It is part of the plans to
give the state road department some ac-
tuaI money with which to work.

EFFORTS TO RAISE
JUDGES SALARIES
(5y JOHN c. TRIcE.)

TALLAHASSEE, April Ex-senator
Calkins' salary bill for the justices of
the supreme court took up more than
an hours time in the senate today.
The bill called for $500 for the judges,
but the committee would not stand for
this raise from the present salary of
$4,000 and offered an amendment to
place the salary at $4,000.
When the bill came up Senator
Lindsay offered an amendment TO
place the figure at $4,000. He criti-
cised the supreme court rather bitterly,
saying that it was common knowledge
that the calendar was far behind and
that it was the universal belief among
lawyers that it could be brought up
if they would work harder. He said
that one judge did no work at all and
that "the others have made no speed
records"
Senator Johnson said the court
docket was in much better shape than
Senator Lindsay had stated, speaking
of his own experience and of the fact
that criminal cases have precedence,
but urged against the payment of a
$4,000 salary at this time of unsettled
conditions. Senator Malone said that
of his own personal knowledge some
of the judges We're unable to maintain
themselves and their families and
school their children on their salary
and had to draw on their own funds
for their children. Senator knight was
against the raise Senator Singletary
said it was no time for raises and that
lawyers as well as the general public
would have to reconcile themselves to
cuts instead Of raises.
Senator Calkins declared the court
the equal of any in the United States.
or even of the United States supreme
court, and urged the committee figure
of $4,000. He declared judges in but
three states were paid less than in
Florida. On a count, the Lindsay
amendment to make the salary $1,000,
was lost, the vote being a tie, Is to 16
The committee figure of $4,000 was
then adopted. The senate then adopt
ed motion made by Senator Single
tary for providing that if the summer
vacations shall exceed 80 days they
shall be taken without pay, and the
bill was passed to the order of third
reading.

the 1919 bill providing for the securing
OF water supply along the peninsular
of the state on the east and west coasts.
The veto was sustained.
The next was the veto of the governor
of the 1919 bill providing for some dras-
tic changes in the present laws relating
10 the assessment and collection Of taxes,
This matter provoked a lengthy discus
sion but the veto was finally agreed to
with little voting opposition.
Then came the veto of the governor
of the bill passed by last session relat-
ing to the final settlements and dis
charge of executors and administra tors.
This act provided for the reduction of
the time in which suit may be brought
from five TO one year. This veto might
have been overridden by the house but
for the fact that Mr.. Futch, OF Lake
county, called the attention OF the MEM
bers to the fact that the revised statutes
adopted by the last session provided for
the reduction of this time from five 10
two years. The veto was then sustained.
Mr.. Hale OF fernando county, tried
TO call up the bank clearance bin passed
by the senate yesterday. The house cd
journed before he could get vote on
waving the rules for this purpose.

RAILS DISPLAY
MUCH WEAKNESS
Stock Market Resumes Its Reaetionary
Course.

NEW YORK, April 14.-The stock
market resumed its reactionary course
today, rails, steels and affiliated issues
again displaying pronounced weakness
at net recessions of 1 to 41-2 points.
Commodity markets, especially grains,
also were unsettled.
Factors which have served more par
ticularly in the last week to depress
general economic conditions were
again effective. The British labor con-
fiict and the urgent financial require
ments Of various railroads and indus
trial concerns assumed graver aspects
Shorts uncovered new elements of
weakness in the market, directing
their energies in part to the shares of
companies whose future dividend dis
bursements are reported to be more or
less doubtful because of poor earn
ings.
Conspicuous features of the broader
reversal embraced a number of high
grade transportations, especially Cana
dian Pacific, Delaware e Hudson and
Louisville & Nashville. Among the
weaker industrials and specialties
were Crucible- Sheffield and U. s.
Steel, Pressed Steel Car Pullman and
General Electric.
Sugars, tobaccos, utilities and finally
the oils and motors also gave way.
Lowest quotations of the session were
made in the last hour. Supporting or
ders then were negligible at best,
nervous tone prevailing at the close.
Neither the money market nor for
eign exchange figured to any percepti-
BILE extent IN the days operations. Call
and time funds were unaltered, but
international remittances were frmer
the Italian rate making a further
marked advance
Conforming to the heaviness of
stocks, numerous railroad bonds tend
ed downward, especially convertibles.
Liberty bonds were mainly lower but
internationals were inclined to further
improvement. Total sales. par value,
SS,775.000.

is considered a more important move
than has happened In any previous
struggles.
Another aspect differeHtiating this
from previous struggles is the univer-
sal response of labor TO the miners
call. or example, I'm no previous strike
has the union of the locomotive men
acted with the national union of rail-
road men. Other railroad services in
the event OF a strike may be replaced
by volunteers. hut 1t will be difficult
10 find competent drivers
The decision -of the federation of
general workers to support the triple
alliance is also highly important. The
resolution adopted by this organiza-
ton does not mean that the unions
concerned, representing 1.500,0 900 work
ers, will strike but means that 1t Is
their intention to consult with the
triple alliance in all steps and give it
general support. The federation's res
olution pledged support to the triple
alliance 'in its effort to resist whole
sale reductions In wages and to main
tain national standards of wages and
conditions OF labor"
