This is the day on which the gaso-
lene tax bill passed by the legisla-
ture become law. 1t is a tax that is
going to bear rather heavy on some,
though it will not be comparative to
the terrific price exacted for the fluid
by the big oil companies few months
ago. And it will lessen the millage
on the great majority. There is fear,
however, that the law won't go into
effect. Thru somebody's carelessness,
or more likely thru somebody's
treachery, the bill was lost until two
or three days after the legislature ad-
journed. This may knock it out if
contested in the courts. Any meas
ure for the relief of the people at
large, but which bears on some inter
est, stands a good chance of being
lost or stolen during the last days OF
the session.

And now Harry Brown of the Lake
land Telegram is worrying over
Great Britain's debt to the United
Staes; sees in it "as much potential
trouble as the Polish boundary" Said
boundary would not worry America
and Great Britain little bit, Harry;
they settled the Venezuelan line and
the Alaska line, either of which would
wrap around Poland with considerable
to spare, without firing a shot. That
English debt was mostly incurred for
supplies bought in the United States
to fight Germany. Every dollar Eng
land spent to fight Germany saved
America a dollar and sometimes two
or three. And England will pay it all.
unless the Reds obtain control; then
we will have to spend a good many
more dollars in fighting them.

CAPITAL AND CAPITOL

Why is it that people cannot re-
member that there is a difference be-
tween capital and the capitol? To be
exact there is but one capitol in the
United States-Washington-which
must always commence with a CAPT
tai letter By laxity in usage there
has come about a custom of speaking
about statehouse as "capitoP-al-
ways beginning with a small c. The
word capital" is applied to the seat
of government in the several states
and that word, also, commences with
small letter. To be absolutely cor
rect and in accord with the American
language every writer will be safe IN
styling the city that is the seat of
government in any and all states as
a capital" and the building (that is,
the statehouse) also should be spelled
capital. There need never be a blum
der if the writer will remember that
there is but one Washington Cd. c.
and but one Capitol.-Kissimmee VAL
ley Gazette.
You differ from cur mutual friend,
Noah Webster. Thorne. Noah. in his
admirable book of short stories,
yclept "The New International Die
tionary," says:
"Capital-The chief in a political
sense, as being the seat of the gen.
eral government of a state or COM
monwealth; as. Washington and Paris
are capital cities"
"Capitol-The temple of Jupiter at
Rome on the Capitoline hill; also, the
whole hill, including the temple and
citadel. The edifice al
Washington. in which the Congress
of the United States holds its ses-
sions; also, often, the building ir
which a state legislature meets"
There is also a difference in the
derivation of the words. dear Thorne
which you probably well knew wher
you studied your Latin. Capital" i.
derived from the head and capitol
from hill with building on tive
beginnings widely apart.

School money being scare in Alach-
VA county, the school board has re-
duced the next school year to seven
months. Moral courage such as is
possessed by the Alachua school
board, is scarce, and therefore more
to be commended. To few individuals,

of doing without until out of debt
commend itself. They would rather

EDITORIAL PAGES

Us boys who burn the midnight
carbon only to see the ladies neglect
US for the society reporters and the
men give US second place to the sports
writers, will find consolation in the
following classic from Harry Brown
of the Lakeland Telegram, who, we
pause to say is not excelled in the
polished productions of his pen:
Zone of the compensations for the
daily grind of newspaper work in
Florida is the opportunity of reading
the editorial pages of the exchanges.
That privilege is peculiarly valuable
here because of the high average of
excellence and the amazing variety

view displayed by the Florida editorial
writer's.
Each paper has the stamp of in
dividuality. In a general way, We
learn to tell, by reading half dozen
lines, whether a particular editorial is
from the Tampa Tribune, the Florida
Times-Union, the Miami Herald, or
any one of dozen others. This is

know how to pay, because when a
writer injects his photograph into ev-
erything he produces it's good sign
that he is doing some independent
thinking.
