erent light and contends that q
strong policy" in Asia is essential, not
only to Japan's progress but to hel
| safety.
The two parties are now in the bal
ance. Events must decide the winner
Both have strong arguments to sup
port them. But for the military, Japan
would now be second-rate power
Russia would be in Manchuria and
Korea and stronger nations would still
be enforcing the principle of extrater-
ritoriality here as they are now doing
in China.
M,litarism Proves Costly.
But the business men claim the day
for militarism-all right in it's time
is over and that it is an expensive lux
ury now. The occupation of Chinese
territory and the expeditions to ST.
IBERIA have been costly.
The supplementary budget recently
passed by Japanese house increased
the army navy appropriations to SILL
1S4,190 yen, which is so per cent of
the total
Japan wishes to become the Great
Britain of the Orient. that is, she
wishes to become an industrial and
commercial expansion as the empires
hope. They want to make goods in
quantity and put them on the Asiatic
market a little cheaper than the bust
ness men of other countries can, and
so make the wheels of industry hum.
THE question of immigration is i'm
portant. but not vital" I was told out
here" Japan's ambitions are directed
toward Asia rather than toward the
Americas. China, rather than Califor-
mia, is in Japan's eyes. What happens
there will be of vastly more impor-
lance to her than anything could pos
sibly be in the United States"
In one way or another this has been
repeated TO me ever since arrived in
Japan.
An agreement between the United
states and Japan over China is likely
to prove the real difficulty, rather than
over California. For whether militar-
list or business man it is toward Asia
the Japanese are looking and to both
Asia means everything.
Japan will defend her policy-what-
ever that policy may turn out to be
to her last man and to her last yen.
Which Is what everybody means when
they tell you Japan's army and navy
are for defense rather than aggres sion.

MANY RELIEF BILLS
TO BE BROUGHT UP
Cats Dismissals Likely To Cost tho
State Sum of Money.
(By JOHN c. TRICE.)


TALLAHASSEE, April 16.-Relief
bills passed at the 1919 session for
public officers fired by Governor Cats
been wrongly dismissed amounted to
$20,755.46 according to figures on file
in the office of Comptroller Amos. The
outlook is that the former governor
will not cost the state so much this
time though it will run to several
thousands of dollars all right. One
bill for the relief of County Solicitor
r. Z. L. Chancey of Hillsborough
county, already favorably reported on
by the house committee on claims is
for S2.450. There will be bills for the
relief of Sheriff Van Pelt of Escam-
bia and of County States Attorney
Thompson of West Palm Beach in all
probability and possibly others. So
far it has been impossible to compile
a list of the claims of this character
that will have to be paid by the state
at this session. Following is a list Of

CONSTABULARY
AS VIEWED BY
A RURALIST
Says Ii Is a Measure That
Will Not Benefit
Farmer
(6y r. J. Hsnley)

Permit me say a few words through
vour paper about the state coDstabn.
larry bill now pending in the general
assembly of our state. AS citizen and
farmer. | will frankly state that | am
opposed TO this measure. IL is a meas
ure that will not benefit the farmer In
the least. The robbers and plunderefs
of the country today are not found In
the country but In the cities, and Ioi-
low their occupations in the cities. The
safety of our homes and property Is
in no way molested by them. The act
as | understand IL, provides FOR 2o0
state constables. About two for each
county in the state. If we were In need
of protection what could two consta-
bles give to this county but even
with only $50 constables for the state
at large, II would cost at least three
thousand dollars per year to maintain
each one of them and pay his salary
Thus il would cost the state S750,000
for two hundred and fifty. We all
know $50 constables are useless but
the present aim is to get the law en-
acted and two years hence the $50 Will
be raised from that to five or ten
thousand state constaDleS. Five
thousand of such officers would cost
the state at least sl5,000,00 per year.
We have the community schools to
take care henceforth with all their
attendant burdens. and any farmer
knows that the more burdens imposed
upon the land he owns or tills the less
are his returns at the end of the year.
Farm lands cannot bear the same
burdens as city property. yet the tend
ency is to impose the same burdens ON
farm lands as city property. The COM
munity school act as an example You
know the burdens imposed on farm
lands on account of this act. Your land
as an investment is less valuable to-
day than il was before community
school was established so as to include
them. Tax the farm lands at the same
rates as city property is taxed and
farm land will cease to produce any
income A state constabulary must be
supported by state Of county tax
levy, so your lands will be taxed TO
support such system. Do the farm
ers want more taxes to pay than they
are paying at the present time? II
they do not want to pay more, then
they are against the measure. The In.
dorsement of this measure by the
county farm bureau does not rep
resent the attitude of the farmers
toward this measure. | dare say ninety
per cent of the farmers are against It,
Furthermore. am for home rule,
