THE MUNICIPAL DOCK
Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The News doubled barrel and double
shotted editorial of Thursday asks
what is the real objection to the
commissioners buying Palafox wharf %
This questioned was answered some
little time ago when a citizens COM
mittee summarized seven objections to
Palafox in the following language:
First. The purchase price is much
greater than the city can afford and
leave means to build and equip a
modern dock capable of handling the
kinds and classes of freight and tom
mage that Pensacola's municipal dock
should be able to handle.
Second. There would be no POSSIBLE
ity Of future development.
Third There could be but little
space for the construction Of storage
warehouses and but little or no space
for receiving incoming cargoes for do
bling of outgoing cargoes not required
to be under cover.
Fourth. A rail connection with this
property would necessarily be by short
and cramped curves. and using for the
purpose property that has already a
very considerable mercantile value.
Only by assuming that the municipal
dock at this site would handle very lit
tile business, and that more or less To-
cal, can it be maintained that adequate
rail connection here is really feasible.
Fifth The location of the Palafox
property places it under the domination
of the L. & NJ and the public and
other interests could only have the
benefit of municipal dock facilities
subject to the L. & Ms absolute con-
troll of the switching interchange.
Sixth The revenue claimed for this
site are clearly unduly bolstered and
would be reduced materially the mo-
lment track laying and other improve
ments were begun. and loss Of ta1es
now paid by the property would show
| in the end very great loss of revenue.
! Seventh. The advantages urged of
providing work for our unemployed is
almost entirely ignored in the selec-
ton of the Palafox site.
Why don't the commissioners, or
their organ The News, try to answer
these plain objections instead of be-
Jogging the issue by trying to belittle
the very considerable body of citizens
who are opposing the officials in car
rying out a transaction that the court
at this time holds to be Illegal?

THE COTTON MARKET
60
New Orleans.


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-The pink
boil worm was the big factor in the
trading in cotton today, and it brought
to market out of fairly wide decline
to moderate net advances, the rise
from the lowest of the session, amount
ing to II points on January switch sold
as low as 1910 and as high as I'LL,
finally closing at 1909. At the highest
of the day the trading months Were
5 to 81 points over the last quotations
of Saturday The close was at net
gains of 5 to So points. The early part
of the day was featured by heavy pres
sure against the market which was, on
the opening, encouraged by much
lower Liverpool than due. Much iqui-
dalton came from the long side, and as
the price fell, stop loss orders were
caught. At first no great amount Of
attention was paid to the pink boil
worm situation, and when the market
got Al to 45 points under the close of
Saturday, it was the releasing by shorts
that checked the decline, rather than
any other factor
Baton Rouge wired the cotton ex-
change that the state Of Louisiana had
quarantined against New Mexico.
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas be-
cause of the pink boil worm. While it
was stated that this would not inter-
fere with the export movement of cot
ton through New Orleans from the
quarantined area, it was generally ac-
cepted that it would prevent cotton
from that area from going on contract.
This helped the price to some extent,
but buying gradually increased on the
fear that the worm would restrict acre.

on might be a fresh influence Of i'm

ton Of cotton

broadeasting stations will be operated
for the sole benefit of certain subscrib-
ers, who will pay a monthly or yearly
fee for the service. How the broad
casting stations will prevent non sub
scribers from securing full benefit of
the service is a problem. to be sure;
but we anticipate that a quite satisfac-
tory and simple manner will be found
to protect such service against unli-
censed receiving sets. Perhaps the
means may be an arrangement of con-
stantly shifting wave lengths at the
/ receiving end, the comutators or other
devices performing this function being
carefully synchronized. AT any rate,
if such a service should be found prof.
table and set up quite distinctly from
the present gratuitous services, we
may look to the day when the Ameri-
can family, by a slight adjustment Of
its radio resolving set, designed like
cabinet photograph, may turn from
heavy Wagneria opera TO light
American musical comedy and from
a French song to a Slav march. Not
plain photograph music as at present,
mind you, but real music from the
leading theaters and concert halls of
the nation A worthwhile by-product
for the theater and concert haIl-and
for the church, when we come to think
! it over.
A retrospective survey is just as as
founding as this look ahead So why
may we not reasonably expect these
various things to come to pass?-.

REVOLT ON TAX BILL

- -
The republican tax revision bin sat
isfies no one. Senator Shoots confess
sion that it is mere makeshift Is
an opinion shared BY many Of his coli
leagues of both houses, by the bust
ness world generally ana by taxpayers
large and small 1t has been de-
nounced by democratic leaders, COM
prising the only tax and tariff experts
in both houses, as ''the worst tax bill
ever presented in any congress" As
passed by the senate, it contains S33
amendments. largely in its admins
trative features, which nobody under
stands. and although republican sen
ators have been openly challenged on
the floor to explain these amendments
none has had the temerity to attempt
an explanation, although some have
openly confessed their ignorance
The few amendments that have inn
proved the original bill We're made by
democrats and presented by demo-
cratic senator. The one outstanding
amendment was the so per cent
higher surtax. later accepted by the
republican progressives apd its ac-
ceptanee forced upon Chairman Pen
rose of the finance committee and his
fellow reactionaries in order to avert
a party split
In the house, the higher surtax did
cause a split, when o. republicans
voted with the democrats to accept
the senate amendment of so per cent
instead Of adhering to the house
amendment Of 80 per cent.
This vote. cast by "a progressives of
his own party, was a severe but de-
served rebuke to President Harding,
who had repeated his obstructive in
reference with congress by writing
a letter pleading for the 80 per cent
rate, which would relieve multi-miI-
lionaires and profiteers only, and sug-
costing a compromise of 40 per cent.
It is significant that this progress
siye republican vote for the higher
surtax all came from the west, and
truly reflected the spirit of revolt
against reactionary repubncanism
which is now prevalent throughout
that section as it was in 1912.

The pIRIeIRLE Roma.

Unusual interest attached itself to
the plans of the war department to
send the big dirigible Roma across
the Appalachians into Ohio on a cross
country test flight.
The Roma was built by the Italian
government in Rome. Italy. and pur-
chased by the United States govern
ment after the armistice. 1t is the
largest flying ship in America.
It has a length over all of as feet
and carries 100000 cubic feet Of ny
drogen gas. 1t is about the size of the
IZeppelins that Germany used in the
London raids, but not quite so large as
the R-34 which crossed the Atlantic.
The Roma. after flying in Italy. was
dismantled and sent to this country
and assembled at Langley field. vir-
ginia.
There are only five hangers in the
United States at the present time
large enough to accommodate the shin.
One Of these is at Wingfoot lake air
station, Akron. Wingfoot lake hangar
Is 400 feet long, so that the nose of
the ship will project out of the door a
little ways
The Roma carries $500 gallons gaso-
line and can make about 20 to rs miles
an hour 1t is at present equipped
with six $50 horse power motors of
Italian make, but it is planned to re-
place these with liberty motors, which
will give greater cruising radius.
With the liberty motors the ship is
able to fly 5000 miles without landing.
Wingfoot lake field was laid out by
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber co. short
" before the war and the hang&r built
for the assembly and housing of kite
balloons free balloons and dirigibles
great many of which have been built
by the Good year company for the
government.
Some 500 naval aviation officers
were trained at wingfoot lake station
during the war
The time Of the flight from Langley
field to Akron has not been definitely
set, but the army men are expecting
to make the trip around the middle
Of December. The people Of Akron ara
making extensive plans to welcome the
big airship upon it's arrival into the
city.

tinued weakness of Liverpool, reports
of unfavorable trade conditions in
Manchester, and complaints of a con-
tinued poor demand, with a declining
tendency in the domestic goods market.
Private cables reported increased
hedge selling in Liverpool. Similar re-
ports were received from New Orleans,
and there was also some hedge selling
here, accompanied by rumors that spot
cotton could be purchased in some east
ern belt sections on tenderabIe basis.
This prompted local selling as well as
scattering commission house nquida-
tion, as a result of which December
.eased off to 1928 and March to 17.08
during the middle of the morning.
The market then showed the infiu-
ence of a f1rmer technical position, as
there was distinct subsistence of SELL
ing pressure, and the advance later in
the day was accompanied by reports
that trade and other strong interests
had absorbed many contracts on the
early decline.
There was also bullish comment on
the situation as to pink boil worm in
Texas, and probably some buying on
reports of a better tone in the stock
market and foreign exchange rates.
The latter was attributed partly to re-
ports that the reparations commission
had called a conference of European
bankers to discuss the sterilization of
exchange rates. December rallied to
1890 and March to 1852, and the close
was within a few points of the best.
Reports that the state Of Louisiana
had issued quarantine regulations
against cotton from New Mexico,
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas be-
cause of the pink boil worm, were re-
sarded as probably foreshadowing mar
lower differences between New Orleans
Ind New York.
