WHY SHOULDER THE
BURDENS?

Mr. Wells 10 losing no time telling
the people OF the United States just
what ought 20 be done. and what not
ought to be done. The idea that the
United States should cancel the debts
OF Great Britain, Germany and the
other nations whose paper we hold is
not a new one. It has been advanced
several times BY people who probably
have more influence on the publc
mind than Mr.. Wells has. but it has
never met with a hearty approval. The
fact that Mr.. Wells Is pushing his ad-
vocacy Of the plan through the string
of newspapers giving space TO his
Washington letters on the arms limita-
ton conference does not make it any
better or worse than when advocated
by American statesmen, but 1t may
cause Newspaper readers to take no
ttce OF It and be better prepared to see
that it meets It's proper fate. Just why
the United States should shoulder all
the burdens OF the war is not plain to
anyone except the nations trying to
evade their just possibilities. and
they are not going to make those rea-
sons public If they can help it-Tampa

GOING AHEAD WITH
ROAD BUILDING

Florida, the state, and various coun-
ties are going ahead, with commenda-
BILE energy, in the matter Of road build
ing. Millions Of dollars are being in
vested in improved public highways.
Yes, Invested" is the proper word to
use. The people, by practical expert
ence, have been convinced that this Is
true. They have found out that i'm
proved. permanently improved public
roads give value TO the property in the
localities where such road improve
ments have been made. Not only that,
they have found out that good roads
help TO build good business, enabling
the practice Of economies in the matter
of transportation and cont1 buting 10
the upbuilding OF improved trade and
traffic regulations, all OF which are
contributing factors in assured pros
perity IN any community that has good
public roads.
Communities that up to the present
time have failed to see the necessity Of
improving their public roads are seeing
themselves slipping back in trade and
in popularity. They are realizing that
without good roads they cannot expect
their communities. their counties to
attract capital and enterprises such as
are essential n these days TO progress
With this realization impressed upon
them they are setting about getting

the house, I realize that perhaps it will
do little good for an humble member of
this great body to call the attention of
the country to this state of affairs, but
if someone who had more Influence

to ask, what happened" and Judge
Sandlin continued:
The statement says the boy was
shot down like a dog. and was killed,
and, as the gentleman puts it in his
letter, he was murdered Those are the
facts as they come to me. If that is
true, it is bad state of affairs and
something ought to be done about It,"

der that they may join with other COM
munities, where good roads have been
established, in the claim for attention
from investors in lands industrial es-
Establishments, in business enterprises
and all other activities essential to the
upbuilding of community.
All this is as it should be. Florida,
with permanent improved pubic roads
everywhere that they are needed viii
go ahead in its work of upbuilding, of
becoming more and more prosperous,
in making progress that would not be
at all possible without good roads.
Therefore. 1t is very gratifying to see
no weakening of the efforts to continue
the work of improved road building in
Florida, but, rather, a more intense de-
sire to push the work ahead just as
rapidly as is possible to the end that
within a few years Florida win be pro-
vdded with public highways such as
will be one of the greatest and most
valuable assets of the state, returning
advantages and compensation to every
dweller within the commonwealth

SCHOOL coNsTRucTIoN.

Figures made public today by the
presidents conference on unemploy-
ment show that an enormous amount
of school construction is under way
and that a larger additional amount
has been authorized as one of the
means to give immediate relief to the
nations unemployed. According to the
National Education oassociation, new
school buildings are going up, or con-
tracts about to be let, to the amount Of
$50, 553250, which will provide much
needed seating capacity for 1921 pu-
pills. Reports from nearly every state
indicate that building is being now
speeded up and that new school enter
prises are fast assuming workable
shape.
Secretary Hoover. of the department
Of commerce, called upon the educa-
tiona1 leaders of the nation among the
first to do their share in the movement
to relieve unemployment. Not only
was aid asked for the jobless, by means
Of program of school building, but
also a campaign was started by school
children to find the millions of small
jobs their parents might have-chores
about the farm, buildings to be cleaned
or painted, fences built, clothes made
over, and scores of similar tasks oc-
curing to the active minds of young
sters
Commenting upon these figures. Col
one1 Arthur Woods, chairman of the
committee on civic and emergency
measures, said: Hundreds of new
school buildings are needed in every
state in the union Hundreds of thous-
ands of school children in the leading
cities are in school only half the time
for want of seating space. Other hun
dreds of thousands are seated in build
ings whose light and sanitation are a
menace to health. Millions are in build
ings i'll suited to the purpose and re-
quirements of education as it is now
conceived and organized. Many such
buildings added to the larger building
programs of the cities can be made to
create a great tide of employment,
which must certainly mean better times
for the nation and its people,
Some of the states report extensive
school building programs. as follows:
Pennsylvania, $40, 300, 000 New York
$50, COO, 900; South Carolina, $4,000, 900;
Maine, $1,000, 600; Kentucky, S1.420, 600;

railroads by pointing out to the senate
committee on interstate commerce
where the statistics covering wages

scented by the carriers to congress, the
Interstate commerce commission, the

public are incorrect and purposely mis-
leading.

FACTS WITHOUT
EDITORIAL COMMENT

This is an editorial of citation rather
than Of comment. Facts will be pre-
scented briefly and they will be permit
ted to speak for themselves. At Knobel,
Ark, girl was expelled from school
because she refused to wash the cos
metics from her face; because she in
sisted on using a lip stick. She has APP
pealed to the courts, and the whole
state is talking. Sentiment is divided.
Some there are who uphold the school
directors and others there are who say
that dress and "dolling up" is mat
ter of individual taste so long as kept
within the bounds of decency.
The election of circuit judge is about
to turn upon the issue. So much for
that.
Census returns show that Arkansas
is one of the most backward of states
educationally. More than 10 per cent of
the inhabitants of voting age are IN
able to read and write. Schools in the
rural districts are not in session more
than six months a year. There Is no
strong sentiment in favor OF general
education.
In Iowa, where school boards devote
their attention to the encouragement
Of instruction and refrain from med
ding with the toilet of pupils, the num-
Der of illiterates of voting age is al
most negligible.

clusion as to which makes for the

plan or the Iowa plan.-Tampa Tri-
bune.

POSTMASTER GENERALS MILL
TARY REGIME.

Judge Sandlin, one of the new repre-
sentatives in congress from Louisiana,
is rendering a public service by calling
attention in that body TO the recent
shooting and homicides committed by
marines detailed to guard the mails.
Mr.. Sandlin said:
When Postmaster General Hays put
the marines on the trains in this coun-
try in order to guard the mail, doubt
ed very much the wisdom of that order
then issued by him to these marines to
shoot to kill. Since that time l am
convinced that the order that he issued
should not have been issued In the
view that I hold 1 am joined by one
high in authority, a gentleman of the
same political faith as the postmaster
general"
He then quoted the letter of Gov. J.
J. Blaine. of Wisconsin, TO Postmaster
General Hays attacking the postoffice
department policy in this respect, in
which the governor asked that a guard
who shot a Wisconsin citizen should
be returned to Wisconsin for trial and
in which the governor made this de-
claration:
IF the rules set down by you is to
obtain by the federal government, then
there isn't any reason why any depart
ment Of the federal government cannot
set up military regime over the peo-
pie Of this country, the result of which
viii be that innocent men will be shot
down like so many rats, according to
the whinl. caprice. inefficiency. mex
perience. misjudgment, or even wilful-
ness of the guard"
Judge Sandlin then gave the follow
ing account of the shooting of a farm
er's lad in his own state:
This morning ! received in my mail
from my district a letter from a gen.
tleman who is in mature years, is a
man OF conservative Judgment, a man
who know would NOT make a state
ment unless he had the facts to back it
up. It Is relative TO a case that hap
pened near Shreveport. La.

depot at a small village. Blanchard, in

A FLORIDA FACT

Florida produces more turpentlne
and rosin than any other two states,
according to the report Of the United
states bureau of chemistry for 1920.
This state last year produced 1856, 800
casks Of turpentine, each containing so
gallons, and 547, 500 round barrels OF
rosin, each containing about 500
pounds. The total production or Amer
lea during the year was 341, 600 casks
of gum turpentine and 1,115,0 900 round
barrels OF gum rosin. Florida produced
81 per cent. or more than one-third
OF the entire supply. Georgia produced
20 per cent, Louisiana 10 per cent, Ala
bama 10 per cent and Texas 5 per cent.
