LINADALE PRECINCT WANTS
TO LINK UP WITH LAKE

Linadale precinct wants to leave
Marion county and hook up with
Lake.
Linadale is only voting precinct,
but it is bigger than many entire
counties in states to the north of us.
1t is pretty and fertile region, pop
ulated by good people. We dislike for
Marion to lose it; we would oppose
the Secession" if we didn't feel that
justice was with the "seceders."
However, Linadale isn't exactly
trying to secede. It sent delegation
here Monday to see our legislators
and leading citizens. The delegation
was composed of Senator Igou of
Lake county and Messrs. E. C. GER,
Fl. L. Collins and C. A. Vaughn, who
live in Linadale but get stheir mail
and transact most of their business in
Umatilla.
Their reasons for wanting the
change are that they are cut off from
Ocala and the more populous part of
Marion by a tract of almost impass-
able country. They live on the other
side of "the big scrub" ten or twelve
miles of which is traversed by road
that an auto can barely push its way
thru. Another long stretch of this
road is flooded in the rainy season
and is as deep in mud as the scrub
part is in sand.
When the people of Linadale come
to their county seat they must go to
Umatilla and either 60 on the train
or on the good roads of Lake and the
Dixie highway to Ocala. sixty-five to
seventy miles. If they come to court
as witnesses or jurors, their mileage

body. Such an attempt should fail
and we think it will fail. Should it
succeed it viii only do so because
cowardly politicians betray the peo-
pie, in which case the people will re-
taliate by disregarding the laws-in
some places secretly. but in most
places openly. The first "blue laws"
We're given for the guidance of the
Jews. Gods chosen people. and they
did not obey them a little bit. They
have been tried at various times and
places several times since, and have
always failed, because they are con-
trary to human nature, which will al
ways assert itself in the long run
over anything that is tedious or un-
pleasant to it. What we fear about
this blue law agitation is that it will
eventually cause the repeal of prohi-
bition. When it first started. we
thought it was a scheme of the whis-
KY devotees, but as time goes on it
becomes obvious that it proceeds
mainly from good and well-meaning
people, tho we doubt not that their
tactics please the rummies, who hope
to profit thereby. Prohibition, de-
spite its non-observance in parts of
the country, is a solid gain, both ma
teria' and moral, and the better ele-
ment of the country should center its
efforts on confirming and enforcing
it, instead of scattering around with
lot of nagging that may cause a
wave of reaction, which will carry
prohibition away with it.

is only for thirty-three. They do
most of their trading with Umati1a,
their social life is with their Lake
county neighbors and many of their
children go TO the Lake county
schools. In every sense but the po-
litical sense. they are cut off from

They offer, in consideration of the
change to help to build a road that
will do Marion county much good. If
Marion will build a road from Stan
ton to the Oklawaha, Linadale, with
the help of Lake. will build from the
river to the excellent road that runs
by Altoona and Crows Bluff to De-
Land, thus shortening the distance
from Marion county to the coast by
many miles.
The people of Linadale are going
about this matter in neighborly and
orderly fashion. They will present
petitions to the county commissioners
of both Marion and Lake, asking them
to try to induce their representatives
in the legislature to make the wished
for transfer, and they do not want any
friction nor ill-feeling about it.
The Star knows the country down
there and how the people are situated.
1t feels that their request is a just
one and should be granted. Repre-
sentative Mayo, who is also well ac-
quainted with that section. favors
granting the request, and Mr.. Hunter
will probably see matters the same
way. Linadale will take its share of
the county debt when it goes, so we
think it will be doing only the square
thing to let it go.

PUBLIC BONDS CAN NOW
BE SOLD TO ADVANTAGE
Manufacturers Record)


Encouragement is given to plans
for public improvements of all kinds
by the securities markets, which con-
tinue to avidly absorb municipal
bonds, the Daily Bond Buyer, which
gathers reports from all over the
country, saying that sale sof long
term bonds of this character during
February totaled $63,202, 4O2, as
against $45, 75s, 1888 in February of
last year and s21 ,OO4. 1852 in February
of 1919. Short term loans last
month totaled ST.. $50 900 in the sales.
The demand proceeding from in
vestors for good municipal" bonds,
this term covering all public issues
excepting those of the federal govern
ment, assures ready sales of securi-
ties for road and street work, sewers
and drains, schools and other commu-
nifty buildings, as well as for public
works of all other kinds, and the COM
munities and commonwealth which
act now in the matter of bond issues
to carry on this kind of construction
will be wise. Conditions are favorable
to securing the necessary labor, and
also the quantities of necessary mate
rails, and there ought to be a very
large amount of construction accom-
plished between the present time and
next autumn.
Road work especially demands that
construction plans shall be fulfilled.
Transportation by means of motor
trucks is rapidly growing in volume
among business men of all kinds, and
the necessity for more good roads, as
well as for the reconstruction of ex-
isting improved highways, is more
than ever apparent. Counties and
states which are slow about undertake
ing this sort of public Improvement
will be left sadly behind in the march
of progress unless they act promptly
and eenrgetically to put their high
ways in such condition that they will
be equal to modern demands. The
South has done much already to inn
prove its roads, but there is yet deal
of work to be accomplished. Postpone
ment 10 await lower prices for mate
rails win not save anything, but will
be productive of loss, because the
early use of roads provided by immed-
late construction will more than COM
pensate for any Seeming loss due to
present prices.
