THE STATE SPLITTERS

With interest and some amusement
we have read in the Miami Herald an
editorial on the proposed reapportion-
ment amendment, in which the Herald
gives several reasons against the
amendment, and list of evils under
which South Florida suffers, and
closes by saying that its remedy is
state division.
The Star comedies that the propos-
ed amendment would be but little i'm
provement on the present state of af-
fairs, but if the people do not vote
for it, or if they do, there is nothing
to prevent any legislature from sub
hitting another to the people. South
Florida has never made any organized
effort to improve its condition; it has
never picked its legislators nor re-
quired any pledges from them. There
are enough men from South Florida
to better conditions if they would
stick together under intelligent lead
ership, but they have never done this.
Splitting the state would not i'm
prove matters. Some sections would
get together and run things for their
own interest, just as north and west
Florida do now. There is no check
on the big fellows unless the little
fellows get together and stick to-
gether.
We can't see how any intelligent
person figures on being benefited by
splitting the state. We would have
two small states instead of one large
one. Each state would have the same
expenses with only half the resources,
and that would mean much higher
taxes for both.
There is one thing that we do not
believe any of the state splitters have
ever thought of-and that is the most
likely boundary line between the two
states. The most commonly accepted
theory is to draw the line at the Su-
vance river, which would give South
Florida over two-thirds of the terri
tory. Another is to add to Florida
west of the Suwanee the northern
tier of ounties-Columbia Baker,
Union, Bradford, Clay, Duval and
Nassau. This would suit South Flor
ida better, as neither Miami nor
Tampa would want Jacksonville in
their state.
We doubt that the state, if divided,
would be divided that way. f its di-
vision was left to the congressional
committee, as it probably would be,
the committee would try to split it
evenly. That would mean that ST.
Johns, Alachua, Putnam, Marion,
Levy and Citrus would stay with the
old state.
AS for the sentiment of the people,
we don't believe Alachua, st. Johns
or Levy want to go with South Flor
ida. We have not heard any express
sion on this subject from our own
people. We know they are against
state division, but if there was any
division we can't say which division
they would prefer. They might take
into consideration that every state
institution except one-the smallest
one-is in north or west Florida-and
it would cost ten million dollars to
build a new set, and as theirs would
be border county they would do bet
ter to stay with the north and west.
But there isn't much use in specu-
lating. Florida is not going to be di-
vided, and the best way for South
Floridians to obtain their rights is to
elect legislators who have the ability
and frmness to demand them.

ATLANTA, June Ex-Governor
Hardwick has completed the draft
of his annual message to the legisla-

the printer The initial message will
be brief, it is said, as the governor
expects to deliver two or three spe~
cial messages later in the session.
The first message is to be read by
the governor Thursday, June 29, at
II O'Clock.
A large part of the message will
be given over to discussion or the
tax question. The governor stated
he had covered this issue thorough
ly, but he has not announced just
what his recommendation will be.
Attention will be called to the
financial condition Of the state, and
the fact that the outgo was kept
within the income only by the most
rigid economy. Attention will be
called to the fact that the state is
now paying public debts promptly,
and owes nothing.

Florrie Warren, 10-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. I. Warren,
was struck in the leg by a stray shot
from parlor rife this morning
while en- route to the Playground for
plunge in the pool there. The scene
of the accident is some distance from

tention of the Times-Recorder by J.
Ralston Cargill, president of the
Playground association, who was on
the grounds there all morning and
until after noon, and he is authority

did not occur at the Playground. ''No

the Playground property" said Mr..

enforced.
Speaking of the injury sustained
by his young daughter, j. t. Warren
said this was the second time the
safety of his family had been endan-
gered by rifles in the possession of
boys, and he was emphatic in the
opinion that police authorities should
take measures immediately to prevent
shooting within the city limits.

WOMAN'S ENTRY INTO
BUSINESS DISCOURAGED

CHICAGO, June 24.-Entrance in
to business by large numbers of wo-
men who are not obliged to support
themselves but merely desire more
spending money is disapproved by
Mrs, Edith Jarvis Alden, the recently
appointed assistant secretary of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
road. After only four years of ex
perience, Mrs. Alden was given what
is said to be the highest railroad of
flee held by a woman.
On the other hand, Mrs. Alden be-
lieves some business experience would
profit almost any woman, if only to
make her more appreciative of her
husbands problems. "a wife can
understand better how her husband
fcels on coming home after hard
tiay's work if she has been there her
SELF she said Before | had bust
ness experience, | imagined that
business demands were sometimes
unreasonable. Then, too, it is well
for woman to be equipped to earn
her own livelihood, if necessary.
Efficiency and hard work seem to
be the keys to success in the railroad
business as in every other. 1t is .un-
deniable that business offers more
promising field to women than ever
BEFORE"
