LAKELAND FIRST
In GROWTH OF
PHONE SYSTEM

"The city of Lakeland shows the
greatest growth in telephone extern
sion of any city or town in this Sec
tion Of Florida, outside of Tampa"
This is the statement of W. G..
Brorien, of Tampa, president of the
Peninsular Telephone Company, made
to the Evening Telegram on the COM
pletion of tour of inspection made
by the board of directors of the COM
pany through Polk county on Tuesday.
In the party were President Brorien,
Vice President F. o. Hoskins, of Co
4umbus, Ohio; N. H. Coggleshall, of
New York; o. D. Donan, of st. Mary's,
Ohio; Earle Peters, of Toledo, Ohio,
members of the board, and ]. E.
Vaughn, superintendent of construc-
tions, and A. B. Jordon, superintend-
ent Of equipment, both of Tampa. The
party left Lakeland early Tuesday
morning by automobile, and after an
inspection of the Lakeland plant and
equipment, made a tour of the city,
expressing establishment at the mar
velous growth of new residences and
many business buildings in all direc-
tions. On their return Tuesday after
noon from an inspection of all the
Polk county exchanges, including Bar
tow and up the Ridge from Frost
Proof to Haines City back. to Lake

development that Il eroryWhefe epi-

regarding urgent extensions and i'm

necessary by the rapid growth of the
city, President Brorien said that ev.
cry effort would BE made to take care
OF the situation as it develops. Like
all other public utility organizations.
the Peninsular Telephone Company is
experiencing difficulty with regard TO
financing urgent and very necessary
extensions, and in fact has been com.
PEELED to borrow heavily during recent
months to meet emergencies. How.
ever, in the case of Lakeland, il is
hoped to be able to provide additional
units on the switch board and to run
new cables to those suburban sections
that have recently sprung up and
which are demanding telephone sery.

reported "some discussion" of in.
creased acreage. Indications were said
to point to an increased acreage in
the potato crop in Florida and other
southern states.
Fruit trees were reported to be in
generally good condition throughout
the country with the exception of
probably some damage to peach buds
in southern New England by recent
low temperatures.
"The supply of farm labor" the de-
partment reported, "is plentiful and
generally exceeds the demand. Farm.
ers are employing as little help as
possible and are doing their own work
wherever they can manage it. Wages
are reported as getting lower"

GAVE FINE PERFORMANCE

1t was a pity that such a small
house greeted the University of Flor

aders, presented the play written by
Father John Conoley of Gainesville at
the Auditorium on Tuesday evening.
Included in the cast was Donald Co

the highest praise. The music and the

ceptionally good and each actor

IN YEARS GONE BY
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
July 8. 1897

The glorious Fourth just passed
was the least eventful of any for
several years past. There being no
effort in the way of a celebration,
the day was given over to the small
boy and his firecrackers, which were
both very much in evidence. Bust
ness houses were plentifully decor
ated with flags and bunting and one
or two individuals more patriotic
than the rest fired of q few Chinese
bombs, but that was about the ex-
tent of the nations birthday. Quite
number Of people went to Col
conda in teams and by train and
spent the day at that resort.
A postoffice has been established
at Joy, White Pine county, and
T. s. Fulton appointed postmaster.
Three carloads of lumber arrived
yesterday at Golconda to be used in
the erection Of the smelter at that
place. A force Of carpenters will
soon be put to work.

COMPLAINT ABOUT
NEVADA TAXATION
NEVADA PAYS $24 A HEAD FOR
STATE EXPENSES WHILE
OTHERS PAY IS

The Republicans and Democratic
state conventions were held at Keno
this week and outlined the party
policy for the 1922 campaign. State
officers are to be elected this year
and as the state election only comes
once in four years, it is time Tor
reviewing the past and making
plans for the future conduct OF
public affairs.
In this connection it is trife
amusing to see the Democrats urg-
ing state economy when they have
been in full charge of state affairs
the past eight years, and careful
comparison Of states shows that 1t
costs Nevada an even $24 per capita
for state expenses, while only two
other states in the union exceed
$40 per capita and only four spent
more than IS. In IL states the ex-
pense per capita was reckoned in
costs and four others got along
with costs fractionally more than
one dollar.
1t has been suggested that the
Republicans might ask and the
Democratic administration might ex-
plain why the taxes collected and
expended by the state between
1916 and the present time have in
creased 81 per cent, and since 1912
more than 100 per cent, while
during the this time there has been
a decrease In the states population.
The taxpayers in Churchill county
are urging the absolute necessity
Of reduction in taxation, but 1t is
still observed that within the city
of Fallon our tax measures up to
the full limit the law permits of
SIS on each 500 assessed valuation
and here let It be remembered
that the tax rate for the city Of
Fallon is very moderate.
It is certainly a time to call a
halt and it might be well to find
just where possible members Of the
Nevada legislature stand before
they are elected for the coming ses-
sion throughout the state. But
even the legislature can do but
little when authority Is given state
officials to run riot on expenditures
as they have been doing In Ne
vada the past eight years. There
must be a reduction In expenditures,
and the people should demand It. If
the voice of the people Is raised
loud enough it will have the de-
sired effect.-Churchill County
Eagle (Fallon).

THE ORGANIZED
MINORITY

Declaring the organized minority
to be "the greatest menace that con-
fronts the American people today"
Senator Myers of Montana in the
Senate pointed to the Herrin, ILL.,,
mine massacre as an example of it
in operation. The Herrin atrocity,
he said, was the organized minority
in efficient working order.
Nary a senator dissented when
Senator King asserted that "these
organized minorities can come to
Congress and get nearly everything
they want by shaking the mailed
fist" 1t is a deplorable, but APP
parently well-authenticated, fact
that 10 per cent of legislation
passed by state legislatures and
Congress is sponsored by an or
ganized minority, capitalistic, labor
or some other body organized for
class benefit.
In truth, none realizes more thor
oughly the power of the organized
minority than the practically ex-
perienced average member of Con-
gress, who might vince under Sem
ator Myers answer to question,
that the remedy lies in "backboned
public men," In and out of legis-
lative halls the assertiveness of
groups and classes looking to the
exercise of invisible government is
constant.
A more feasible remedy than that
of the individual backboned public
official might be organization, for a
change, Of the great majority of
the American people, which has no
selfish interest, but which wants to
see the government run on constitu-
tional principles for the good of all
and the protection of all in their
fundamental rights, and not for
classes and "isms." We're this
mighty but latent power really or
ganized, it would at least produce
in legislative affairs something that
would have the effect of backbone,
even If it was something else.

FARM
CONVENIENCES-

CONFERENCES
Much has been said about max
ing farm life more attractive by
means Of modern inventions in
rapid communication and transpor-
tation and labor saving. the trade
record of the National City Bank
offers some interesting figures on
the subject. At the close of 1920
nearly one-fifth of the telephones
in the country were on farms or in
farm business service. Farmers
owned considerably more than one
fourth of the automobiles, not in
GLIDING 10000 motor trucks and
246,000 tractors. More than 80
per cent of the reporting farms use
autos.
The census figures on farm inn
plements and machinery show q
total value of three times as great
as 10 years before, five times as
much as in 1900 and seven times as
great as in 1890. A sidelight is
the fact that the value Of horses on
farms showed q decrease of IA per
cent in the last decade while all
other farm animals showed an in
crease, sheep 10 per cent, poultry
141, cattle 143, swine lab and
goats 1874 per cent.

EQUAL CITIZENSHIP
RIGHTS

The House of Representatives
has done a comendable thing in
passing the woman's citizenship and
naturalization bill. It is an i'm
portant step in the direction of re-
moving some of the few remain
ing legal disadvantages under which
women are burdened because of
their sex.
The surprising thing is, in veiw
of the vote by which the measure
went through-206 to 9-that it
has taken SO long to get action
on it. Though it has had the sup
port of the American Association
of University women, the business
and professional women's clubs the
Council of Jewish Women, Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution,
General Federation of Women's
Club, National League of Women
Voters and the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, it has taken
eight years of effort to persuade the
house to look on the proposal favor
ably.
1t puts foreign women and Amer
lean women married to foreigners
on the same foting as men in the
matter of citizenship, as it is right
they should be. Hereafter, il the
bill becomes a law, and American
woman will not lose her United
States citizenship on wedding an
alien unless she resides continuously
for two years in her husbands
country or five years in any other
foreign country.
On the other hand an alien
woman resident in the United
States who desires to become an
American citizen may become ma
turalized even if her husband does
not, while a foreign woman who
marries an American citizen will
not automatically acquire citizen
ship herself but will be required
first to live in the country a year
and to take the oath of allegiance.
This last, perhaps, is favoring wo-
man little too much; it might be
fairer to require that the alien who
marries an American man should
go through the same process of ma
turalization as is required Of a
foreign man.

"MATTY" TO
PITCH AGAIN.

TlI(n A0AiN-
"Matty" is to pitch again. One
ball. that's all. But what thrill
it brings to millions of Americans
who long have respected. and in hi,
illness have loved, "Big Six" the
genial Christy, the Incompatible
Mathewson.
The great pitcher is winning his
fight at Scranac, New York. He is
SO far advanced on the road to re-
covery that his physicians say he
may toss the fist ball over the plate
when the season at the lake is
opened. There is something al
most pathetic in the announcement
that he is now allowed twenty min
utes Of light exercise twice each
day. But it is o statement full
Of hope and cheer. It means that
"Matty" is coming back, and fast.
It is doubtful If any athletic
hero ever caught and held the i'm
agination Of Young America more
spontaneously, or more deservingly,
that Christy Mathewson. The ex-
empler of good sportsmanship and
clean living, he has been upheld to
boyhood for several years as the ex-
ponent of unsullied success. hard
fought and fairly won. Neither the
tumult of the crowd nor the as
saults Of Opposinb batsmen when
they had him in hole, ever shook
his valiant heart.
So It was that when "Matty's"
lungs. weakened by German gas,
fell prey to the invisible enemy, all
America knew that "Matty" wOaid
never cease to fight. All America
knew that "Natty" would pull
through.
In his daily, life and practice,
"Big Six" has been q great
preacher Of great truths.

SAYS POPULATION NO
EXCUSE FOR EXPENDITURES

Report has it that certain Dem
ocrat, calling at the office of Con-
gresham Arentz in Washington,
was lured into a discussion of the
disastrous financial showing of the
Sagebrush State under recent Dem
ocratic administration. The visitor
endeavored to make it appear that
the fault lay in the small population
of Nevada. A clerk joined in the
discussion, saying; "Then suppose
if my wife and l undertake to rent
a swell fourteen-room mansion up
in the Northwest section Of Wash
ington, and we fail to make ex-
penses, the solution of our troubles
will lie in the statement that We
have not a sufficiently large
family"
