Famous Detour on
Sanford : DeLand
Road Is Roasted

Sanford, Oct. 2.-The Sanford Vi
cinity boasts of detour which some
motorists claim is about equal to the
famed Callahan billiard detour be-
tween Jacksonville and Waycross.
That section Of the Sanford-De-
Land highway from Lake Monroe
station, about five miles from San
ford, to the Sanford Eustis highway,
mile and half south, is being re-
constructed, a gang of workmen TAX
ing up the brick pavement and relay
ing it. On the northbound trip the
motorist follows the Eustis highway
to a point about two miles west of
the usual road to Lake Monroe and
turns north on a deep, sandy road
which, however, has been covered
with pine straw. The turnou tbs post
ed with a sign reading, "To Dayto-
ma" In dry weather the detOur can
be negotiated on "high" except when
it is necessary to permit another car
to pass. In wet weather it is diff
ferent story. In one instance the driv-
err of powerful eight-cylinder ma
chine was forced to spend the night
in the woods after becoming mired.
The last mile or so of the detour is
over an asphalt road and cars return
to the highway a few yards from the
railroad station at Lake Monroe.
Use of the detour will be necessary
only a short time, as the road build
ers are rushing work on the stretch
being reconstructed.

DEFEAT SOLDIER BONUS
LEAVES MORE FOR SUBSIDY

With the defeat of the soldiers ad-
justed compensation bill, advocates
of the ship bonus, including President
Harding and Chairman Lasker, of
the United States shipping board, be-
ieve that this scheme to sell $3,000,-
100000 worth of vessels for $780,
100000 and pay the purchasers $751;
100000 a year to operate them, has
a better prospect of passage in the
present republican congress.
Provision for the payment of the
soldiers adjusted compensation
would have required a total of 3d.
OO0,0OOOOO in the next thirty years
and an immediate appropriation of
about $75,OO0,OOO to establish the
necessary administrative organiza
ton. This commitment in favor of
the former soldiers of the world war
would have made it difficult if not
practically impossible for the Hard
ing administration to get congress
sional authorization for the vast
sums which it is proposed to vote for
a bonus to the ship owners who buy
the peoples merchant marine for less
than a tenth of its original cost.
The lobby that has been active in
behalf of the ship bonus bill for the
last eighteen months is understood
to have foreseen the trouble it would
experience if the soldiers compensa-
ton was granted AS a result, the
influence of this lobby was added to
that of all the other interests which
were fighting the soldiers bill.
President Harding's arguments
against the soldiers bonus are equal
ly valid against the subsidy to ship
owners, but they will not be urged
by him in respect to Chairman Las
ker's plan to sell the peoples fleet
and in addition pay $75,OOOOOO to the
purchasers TO operate it at a profit
to themselves, free from taxation
In the message accompanying his
veto Of the soldiers bill President
Harding pointed out that there
would be a treasury deficit of $780,
100000 in 1923 and "a further def
icit for the year succeeding, even aft
err counting upon all interest collec-
lions on foreign Indebtedness which
the government is likely to receive"
Then came this striking utterance:
"To add to our pledges to pay, ex-
cept as necessity compels, must seem
no less than governmental folly. In
evitably it means increased taxa
ton, which congress was unwilling to
levy for the purposes of this bill, and
will turn US from the course toward
economy so essential to promote the
activities which contribute to COM
mon welfare"
Within three days after writing
that argument against the soldiers
bill, President Harding announced
his intention of calling congress back
into special session on November Is
to pass the ship bonus bill. In press
ing for the passage Of this measure,
which contemplates appropriations of
S75,000,000 a year for ten years the

DIR. j. F. SMILEY
SAYS FAREWELL
Thinks City Should Clean
Up in Effort to Check
Disease Epidemic
FINDS JOY IN
PREACHING CHRIST

West Presbyterian Church was
crowded to the doors last night,
when the Rev u. Franklin Smiley
preached his farewell sermon prior
to taking up his new pastorate 'in
Pittsburgh. Pa.
In his address, Doctor Smiley crit
icized the lax quarantine methods
and the unclean streets here, saying:
There is a great stir about this
epidemic of scarlet fever in the city.
but frankly. 1 believe if some Of
the city authorities would get busy
and clean up the streets it would
help much"
DR.. Smiley said he did not see the
sense in quarantining children from
the public schools and other places,
and permitting them to run wild on
the streets. You don't see any of
the health authorities trying to po-
lice any of them. A quarantine is
all right If conducted properly"
Referring to his pastorate here,
Doctor Smiley said: II have had
many pastorates. but never had
pastorate where God so abun-
dantly has been with me and my
work" He spoke Of the press of the
city as one of the greatest elements
in the success Of his ministry. "The
newspapers" he declared. ARE a
great factor in the success OF the
churches of the city"
He expressed the hope that the
church, in calling a new pastor,
would "go at it in a decent. Chris
tian way, and not go around to
see II the minister selected as a
leader has paid all his bills" He
spoke in glowing terms OF the op-
portunities for Christian service Of
fered him in his new pastorate. in
Pittsburgh.
Doctor Smiley told of the humble
birth of Christ, because there was
no roof for him in the inn. He pic
tured Christ as a man from among
the common people.
THE greatest joy I have found in
preaching .he gospel OF Jesus
Christ" he declared, was that I
did not have to hold up some snob,
some social climber. some politician
or some ambitious business man."

CURB ON GRETNA GREENS

Ctltb ON GkEINA GREENS
From the Middletown Transcript.
Senator Cantwell's bill to curb or
end Gretna Green marriages at Elk
ton and other points in Maryland, Of
fered in the. Legislature is in line
with a suggestion by Editor Carey,
of the North East Star. The Sena-
tor is quoted as follows upon the
measure proposed, which is aimed
at outsiders only.
MY feelingg is that a measure i'm
posing no restrictions on Maryland
residents, but aimed at non-resi-
dents, to the state will cure the trou-
ble," said Senator Cantwen.
Residents of Maryland can go
anywhere in the State now and be
married under Maryland laws, and
there is no reason why any restrict
ion should be placed on that. The
bad feature OF Elkton's business is
that couples come from other States
to elude the laws Of those States.
Forty -eight hours notice OF appli-
cations for marriage licenses will
stop that, and we will have no change
whatever made in the law as far as
It affects Marylanders.
Il believe that the Legislature
will pass a bill OF this sort"
Two years ago measures aimed at
the situation here and elsewhere in
the state were introduced, but were
killed, 1t was generally agreed, be-
cause they sought to change the law
affecting residents Of Maryland and
impose on them the 4S-hour notice.

Taxes to Kill Business
lFrom the Val stret Journal.l

Chairman Fordney as a hnancier
seems to he a product OF the war,
when so many Congressman lost
their sense OF proportion. He is in
love with tax on sales OF stock and
real estate. He has never worked
out any real principle OF taxation.
He does not realize that a tax on a
process OF trade is radically bad in
principle. and tends. in practice, to
destroy the very business on which
other taxes are levied Stock trans
fers are now carrying all the burden
under which they can stagger. The
result of adding to that burden will
ruinously curtail business, with the
result that the Treasury stands to
lose, in income tax alone, far more
than It could collect on a stock and
bond transfer tax.
II has been pointed out before in
these columns that foreign grain
and cotton exchanges would do well
IL they spent a few millions on facili-
tating exactly the kind OF legislation
and taxation which Congress has
popuhstically considered to be in the
interest OF the farmer. Winnipeg.
Liverpool and London stand to win
by every meddlesome interference
OF this kind. Congress is simply
taxing the business out OF the coun-
try. II this is true OF grain and
cotton, It is equally true OF stocks
and bonds. The first result OF laying
an additional burden upon the Wall
Street markets for securities will be
to stimulate investment in foreign
securities at the expense OF our own.
London can make a perfectly good
and free market in many OF our
shares--in United States Steel and
the active railroad e stocks-and
every addition to the burden here
builds up the market there, This
country loses the business. and Con-
gress then begins to appoint COM
mittees TO inquire why the taxes do
not begin TO approach the budget
