CLAYTON LEVELS
GUNS ON CAPITAL
TRACTION FARE
''Too Prosperous" He
Says-Ham Accuses
Him of Falsehood.

Reduction of the fare charged by
the Capital Traction Company. by
whatever method the Public Utilities
Commission may decide upon, was
urged by william NICK. Clayton,
counsel for the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations, at the closing
session of the Public Utilities Com
mission hearing on continuation OF
prevailing car fare rates yesterday
afternoon.
mo matter whether the fare is
uniform or not" Clayton declared.
''the Capital Traction fare must
come down. / will stand on that
policy until the crack Of DOOM"
He told the commission that IL II
wished to follow the uniform fare
policy, the Washington Railway and
Electric Company fare, which is
Identical with that Of the Capital
Traction Company. must come down
also.S
Quotes High Return.
He asked the commission to con-
slider the report of the Capital Trac-
tion Company for 1920. showing a
rate of return Of 10.s per cent in
one branch and 1o.6 in another. The
Washington Railway and Electric
Company Is contending that 1t Is
not earning a per cent return.
Clayton attacked the past policy
OF the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, which, he de-
clared. had not performed its duty
to the public and employed train
men at starvation wages while at
the same time 1t paid adequate divi-
dends on its common stock.
Ham Answers Charge.
William F. Ham, president of the
w. r. & Z. Co., emphatically de-
clared that Clayton's statement re-
garding former conditions on the
railway was "an absolute false
hood"
I'VE maintain that the company
did not pay starvation wages for
the. purpose of paying dividends"
said Ham.
Clayton questioned the sincerity
Of both companies in their support
Of merger OF the two roads. He
said that a merger was talked Of
In the commission. hearings. but
subsidized Immediately afterward. He
pointed out that the, Capital Trac-
tion Company had not asked for an
scent fare. but for a uniform fare.
1, Ham presented statistics on de-
probation and maintenance ac-
counts Of his company, showing a
charge Of $4,000 for maintenance
and nothing for depreciation in 1909.
and SS72.000 for maintenance and
$2ss.ooo for depreciation in 1920.

ocALA RoTEs IN ORLANDO
(orlando sentinel)

The spirit of Rotary echoed from
the chamber Of commerce building
last night when the Orlando Rotary
Club had as their guests some thirty
visiting ocala Rotarians and their
wives at sumptuous banquet and
dance. The diners filed the spacious
hall of the chamber of commerce and
the spirit of good-fellowship over
flowed into the streets as Payson
Branch's orchestra sounded the re-
frain of Rotary songs. Speech max
ing was only on the program in one
or two-minute doses but the musical
numbers, with happy laughter, flowed
like sparkling Burgundy to create a
perfect evening.
President S. K. Guernsey, acting as
POSTMASTER and song leader. introduc-
ed President Harry Borland, Of the
0cala Rotary Club and genial Ben
Rheinauer for short addresses to start
things off with bang. They were
followed by the Rev. J. Dean Adcock,
who related negro dialect story that
awoke his fellow Rotarians to the
realization that their genial comrade
of the cloth always had a new one to
spring. To vary the program of spe-
cial features Tom Segeberg was call
ed upon for a number of old favorite
songs. He was encored to the echo.
Arriving, on account of the heavy
rain, just in time for the ball game,
the visitors were taken to the park
to witness the triumph of the Tigers
over the Smokers. They sat in spe-
cial reserved section and made the
welkin ring with their songs and root
ing. After the game the visitors en-
joyed motorcade about the city
which wound up at the chamber OF
commerce where the banquet awaited
them.

SOME MORE ABOUT THE
.SQUIRMING SQUADRON

A few days ago, an Associated
Press dispatch from Tallahassee gave
the itinerary of the so-called "fying
squadron" (which name the Star
thinks it has improved by calling it
the "squirnning squadron''), an ex-
cresence which our Incompetent school
authorities have saddled on the tax
payers, ostensibly to examine teach
ers, but really to furnish jobs for
favorites of the school administration
The Palatka News took up this timer
airy and showed what ridiculous and
expensive thing it was, the flying
squadron" crossing and criss-crossing
the state three or four times instead
of making one comprehensive tour
around it, as sensible people would do.
The Star copied the News article, Civ
ing credit therefor. Then the Times
Union picked it up and copied the
gist of it. crediting It to the Star, and
adding some remarks OF its own. We
have no doubt the T.-U. will give the
News its deserved credit, and in the
meantime its own comment is well
worth reproducing. 1t says:
Eve had no idea that any such reck-
less extravaganza as this was prac-
ticed anywhere in the world and ii
comes as shock to see that it is pro-
posed by the educational department
of Florida If the itinerary of the ex-
amining board was last year any
thing like that which the Star states
for this the legislature should not
have reimbursed the members for the
expenses so wantonly incurred. In
| fact, it should not have reimbursed
them under any conditions for all of
fcials should be required at all times
to keep within the appropriations
made for them. If appropriations are
exceeded and the next Legislature pro
vides for the excess the states pocket
book is taken from the legislature anc
placed in the hands of the officials whC
spend the money.
"If the Star is correct in the itin
erary it announces the board viii
spend at least three times as mucl
money as is necessary. The people o.
Florida are not able to keep up thu
public schools as they should be KEEP
up and not able to pay the teacher
as much as they should pay them
Think of this waste in the face of sucl
conditions! -. -
"But what tne use of discussing
this ::ssatter? The mere publication o
the itinerary is sufficient and if i
were. published generally throughou
the state nobody would dare to carr,
out the plans proposed"
