FORTUNATE FLORIDA

Florida enjoys the unique distinction of being
known throughout the country as the most pros
porous state in the union. Visitors from the north
say that it is currently reported that Florida has
suffered nothing, as yet, from the industrial de-
preston that has the great manufacturing states in
its grip, that there is no unemployment here, and
that business as usual" is the watchword.
Upon their arrival their first step is to verify
these reports. They can hardly believe the evil
dence Of their own eyes They marvel at the i'm
mense amount of building construction in all Flor
ida cities. They are amazed at the general air of
prosperity. By what miracle have traditional rea-
tons been reversed, making southern state show
Astounding evidences of prosperity while the north
states are groaning under the burden of hard
times?
Of course we understand the causes of ibis
phenomenon. Florida welfare is based upon diff
ferent conditions. 1t is not dependent ON fac
tories so much as upon its fields, its groves, its
resorts and other things not affected by conditions
which govern in the north. Its prosperity is as

nearly stable as anything earthly can ever hope
to be.
But the important point in this connection is the
valuable publicity thus secured. 1t is worth mil
lions as advertising, and yet it costs nothing. 1t
takes care of itself.
Florida has but one per cent of the population
of America; but it has something for all of the
other 90 per cent. and its big task heretofore
has been to get them interested. Now they are
all talking Florida and the effect upon the future
population wealth. industry and developmental
trend of the state is beyond calculation.

Obregon's Program
Once More Turned

General Railroad Strike Is
Called for Wednesday, but
Men Are moi Unanimous;

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 20 President
Obregon's measure increasing the re
sponsibility to Congress of the Execu-
tive and members of his Cabinet was
overwhelmingly defeated in the Cham
Der of Deputies last night. This is the
second of Obregon's proposals to be
defeated by the lower house.
The railway federation has called a
general strike fer February "a. The
threat is considered serious, although
several branch unions have expressed
their readiness to break away from the
federation if the strike actually comes
off. President Obregon has made a
patriotic appeal to the men not to
strike. The Director General of Rail
roads has announced that all men who
refuse to strike will be promoted To
fill the posts of strikers and that all
men who strike will be dismissed from
the service and not allowed to return.
Reports in the hands of the govern
ment indicate that the detection from
the union ranks will be sufficient TO
permit the maintenance of some sort
of service
Since the resignation Of Ortiz Rubio
as Minister of Communications, the
Director General Of Railroads has pre-
ferred charges against him, alleging
frauds running into millions and in

tary Of the Treasury de la Huerta, il
was announced that hereafter the ey-
port tax of 10 per cent ON oil would
be collected in kind. The collection
IN kind will enable the government to
sell oil or else build up reserve for

ment enterprises.
