The first of series OF meetings OF
the Capital Removal Association of
Florida was held in Ocala Monday,
March Is, at p. m. Judge W. S.
Bullock, president of the Capital Re-
moval Club, called the meeting to
order and requested that Mr.. r. F.
Rogers act as chairman of the meet
ing.
Mr.. Rogers asked Rev. c. L. Col
Inns to open the meeting with prayer,
and then introduced DR.. E. G. Peek,
mayor of Ocala, who made a short
address of welcome and assured the
visitors that Ocala was more pleased
to see them than any other body of
men that could come here. Mayor
Peek stressed the necessity of united
effort and action on the part of the
people interested in capital removal,
if any results were to be expected.
Judge W. S. Bullock welcomed the
visitors in behalf of the Marion Coun-
ty Capital Removal Club. Judge Bull
lock assured the delegates and other
visitors that Ocala's latch string was
hanging out hundred feet, and invit-
ed them to grab hold, come in and
make themselves at home. When
Judge Bullock complimented Orlando
on it's splendid representation at the
meeting, that delegation almost rails
ed the roof with its enthusiastic yells.
After his preliminary remarks, Judge
Bullock made an impressive talk on
the Importance of the meeting and
what it would mean to peninsular
Florida. He compares this first meet
ing to the diagnosis of surgeon, or
physician, in a very acute case of
sickness. The surgeon would first
make sure that no medicine or local
applications would cure the disease
and would then recommend the knife.
In this case, Judge Bullock said, the
state of Florida has tried all remedies
and medicines with no signs of curing
the trouble. He suggested calling in
the best statesmen and getting their
opinions. He said: "Voices call from
all over the state that we have already
tried delegations and all manner OF
petitions to the legislature with nc
result and that it is time to use more
drastic measures. The people of pen
insular Florida have asked time and
again for reapportionment of repre-.
sentation and have never been able to
get the legislature to act and that now
the only cure seems to be capital re.

The Alaska daily empire., 1922-07-15

President of the United states regards his election
highly, and it is honor 1t would not be an honor
however if it were NOT that it has been earned by
services rendered to the country
The development OF world beating dairy stock
in America working from this great Danish-German
breed of cattle has been of the wonderful scien
tifc achievements of the last twenty-five years and
Governor Lowden able lawyer, capable business man
and fine Governor, has made it possible in spite oil
his very active to give lot of valuable time
to the work 1t is said that he prizes his contrlou
ton to the science stock raising more highly than
he does his very creditabe political career or his
equally credtable business and PROFESSIONAL accom-
plishments. And why not?
No branch of education in America has done more
for the world than that which has made a scientific
profession of agriculture. 1t is a. development that
has reached its highest point in the Middle West
and West of the United States AS a result of it the
offsprng of Danish dairy stock yield more butter
than their European cousins produce the offspring
of English cattle grow larger and make better beef
than can be shown in Hereford, Percheron horses
have reached nearer perfection here than in France,
Jersey have attained the summit of their glory
in America rather than Island of Jersey Leghorn
hens lay eggs here than they do in Italy. And
may go through all the branches of agriculture
livestock horticulture vegetable production the
grasses etc. 1t was only the other day that Wash
ington Sttae farmer former President of the State
Darymen's Association, of Scotch blood and English
birth, education and early experience returned for a
visit to his old haunts in the farming sections of
North England and Scotland after an absence of a
third of a century more declared in an address
that great opportunities for profit awaited young
Western American agriculturists who would go back
to the "Old Country" and introduce -to-date scen-
tifc farming methods.
1t is not strange that nearly every country in
the world is contributing students to American ag-
ricultural colleges well to various engineer
ing schools. Those who have performed part in
this development have lived to good purpose and
well may Governor -Lowden feel proud of the agri-
cultural honors that have been bestowed upon him.

Palestine's Future Uncertain.
Cincinnati Enquirer. }

There will be felt AROUND the civilized world
genuine regret that the English House of Lords has
its criticism of the mandate assumed by Great
Britain Palestine, though the Earl of Bal
four struggled in vain prevent the adverse action.
There is much that be done for this historic
country and much has been planned that it ap-
pears criminal folly beat retreat at this
time.
Amusement has been expressed by those who have
visited that land of the Bible that people in general
fail grasp the basic facts concerning the situation
there. But thirty-fve years ago Palestine a
cemetery, waste, which the silence of the
turtles brooded gloomy. Under the hand of the Jew,
longing to restore the sacred places of his fore
fathers, the dry desert is beginning to blossom like
the Now appear all manners Of protesting ele
ments defending the Arabs and the Turks for wishing
the country to remain it was.
What have the Turks the Arabs and the natives
done for Palestine in the past five hundred years?"
asks Captain W. Stanley Shaw late of the Mddlesex
Regiment of the British Army. Nothing! Up to
1888 the land but dust heap and a ruin" The
question answers itself stronger. What they
have done is increase the desolation and spread
the ruin.
Casting aside all religious, national and racial
matters, 1T be said that any movement to in
the arabic of the world and to bring
peace and comfort to human beings who lack
them is worthy intrinsicaly and above criticism II
the projected restoration work is permitted to be
carried through and law and order is maintained
until sound political organization is effected, the
land that once flowed with milk and honey will again
be sustaining millions of happy and conented people
where there live most miserably few than

BUREAUCRATIC LEGISLATION.

The Sutherland game bill is purely and simply
Bureaucratic measure 1t receives for burden full
control of the game animals and birds and the land
fur-bearing animals of Alaska 1t regards not at all
in any respect the principle of self government, a
principle is supposed to be at the foundation of
erything American 1t places government in wash
ington of with the people most concerned
is a departure from the sort of government under
which the Northwest Territory of 1887 and Tennessee
and Kentucky the territory acquired through the
Louisiana purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition
Florida purchase, the Texas annexation and the
Mexican War developed. 1t is in no wise Ameri-
legislation
However the plan enunciaed would probably
work out a lot better than things under present
conditions A commission such that proposed
would doubt work for the best interest of the
people of the Territory in larger degree than
nonresident agents.
Yet the great thing that is needed above any
thing else in Alaska is lf-government, government
by the people of Alaska, and they should control the
game laws of this Territory just the people Of
Alabama, Maine Washington and Wisconsin control
the game laws within their domains The proposed
legislation is bureaucratic rather than democratic
