STATE CAPITAL WILL
BE REMOVED.

No idea, plan or reform, no matter
how sound in principle, feasible in
execution or just to all, touching the
general public interest is ever re-
ceived with unanimous consent. The
Christian era dawned with blood
shed and martydom marking its pro-
gress, human liberaties were held
in bondage for centuries and were
relieved only after the first seed OF
rebellion had been planted and the
world today has accepted no reform,
no matter how beneficial to the pub
lie welfare, that has not, at first,
been opposed by a majority.
The first suggestion made that in
the natural course of shifting popu-
lations convenience, economy and COM
mon sense is demanded the removal
of the seat of state government from
Tallahassee to point nearer the
center of the states population, as
we'll as more nearly equidistant to the
various county seats, met with a
storm of opposition. Opposition from
many quarters will continue to stand
in the way of removal of the capital
from Tallahassee. But the seed has
been planted, the movement is under
way and is gathering momentum with
each year, and there are many who
believe that at the next session of
the legislature the demand will be
SO insistent that opponents of capital
removal will be faced with either the
change of seat of government or a
division of the state.
The demand will come from about
two thirds of the population of Flo.
rida if the sentiment in the peninsu.
lar area of the state is unanimous
1t is the increasing sentiment in the
popuious and wealthy section of the
state that is expected to finally turr
the balance to removal, and wher
that time arrives the selection of q
site fairly and justly situated fol-
all will bring the capital in one Of
three cities. Palatka is one of them
The Times Union prints some in
teresting data taken from an ole
"'Cowperthwait, Desilver and But
Ter" geography of Florida, published
In 1855. The state then consisted Of
twenty eight counties, with tota
population of 87,445, according to the
1850 census figures. Leon county was
the largest in population, having
II AZ.
Seven counties west of the Su
wan1ea river held 1920 of the tota
state population, considerably more
than half the entire number of PEG
pie in Florida at that date.
The five southern Florida counties
of Dade, Hillsborough, Orange, st
Lucie and Monroe, had a combined
p0pulat; ton of 5,526.
A comparative showing Of those
seven northern counties and the five
southern counties, then, and now, is
interesting:
COUNTIES CN) 1850 1920
Calhoun ......-. -........-.. 4,8O8 14,291
,Fscambia ...... ............ 1859 1888
Palatka daily news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1919-1994, 1921-09-23

Briefly stated, this means that
while the seven northern counties
were increasing less than AZ percent
in seventy years, the five southern
counties grew in population more
than "a times their 1850 total, or
over 3,4O0 percent!
Looking at it from another angle,
these i've southern counties have
more population now by 11,309 than
the seven northern counties, and have
more population by 90,8OS than the
entire state had in 1850.
Again, in 1850, for every man in
the five southern Florida counties,
the seven northern Florida counties
had ten men; but in 1920 for every
man in the five southern Florida
counties, the seven northern Florida
counties had little less than nine
tenths of a man!
