PORTS AND PREFERENTIAL
FREIGHT RATES SCORED.

In a recent issue The Lakeland
Star printed an editorial reference to
the proposed efforts of Florida port
icties to join with inland cities in fix
ing the basis of rates for the pro-
posed enforcement of the interstate
commerce commissions fourth Sec
ton order, which indicates that The
Star didn't understand what it was
talking about. We produce the edi-
torial in another column. The plan
is to make the basing rate as low as
possible, automatically keeping all
other classifications at an equally
low level.
The Stars mistake was in inter-
preting what The News said as to
Palatka's opportunity to maintain its
present rate by turning to water
traffic. 1t was not selfishness, mar
rowness or unfairness that prompt
ed the admonition in The News. We
emphasized the possibility that Pa
latka would suffer from loss of its
preferential rate unless it made pro-
vision to take care of its freight
shipments on a basis of water rates,
which it has always enjoyed, which
every port has enjoyed, and which
always will be enjoyed as long as it
is possible for independent boat lines
to operate in competition with the
railroad-owned lines.
1t is fair to assume that if Lake
land was located on tidewater The
Star would feel it its duty to encour-
age establishment and maintenance
of water freight service, giving
Lakeland an advantage over Barlow.
This would not be selfishness, but the
natural law of taking full advantage
of environment. The Star may ont
know it, but if there were no ports
in Florida Lakeland would probably
not be on the map, rail- trelght rates
into the state would be prohibitive
except to those points where the rail
roads themselves might. wish to de-
velop. Lakeland wholesalers find an
advantage in shipping by water from
New York to Tampa thence the short
haul by rail from Tampa.
The Star need not be alarmed that
Palatka, like other Florida ports, will
not continue to enjoy certain advan-
tages by reason of its facilities for
obtaining water hauls on wholesalers
supplies. If Lakeland wants to en-
joy preferential rates for the en-
enlargement of the wholesale indus
try Lakeland should move to sea-
port.

same principle exactly of two farm
ers going into Palatka store to buy
hat. To one farmer the merchant
charges S. for the hat and to the 9TH
er he lets him off for 81 because he
knows him little better or he has
a pull some way. Why is it that Pa
latka should be so unfair as to as
sumo taht it is a favorite with the
railroads and ought to get something
that other towns cannot get? There
is nothing to that sort, of argument
and Palatka bushes smen ought to
pay the same rate as business men
from other cities in proportion to the
freight distance required in the ship
ment. Jealousy is also seen all
through the article, there being ex-
pressions of what other towns would
get in the change and what Palatka
would lose. Palatka should not feel
that way about it, but they should
recall that they still have their water
route from Jacksonville and can get
their shipments that way if possible
and if not then they should not make
the least objection to taking the
same chance that other towns and
cities of Florida will have to take in
the event of the equalization of
freight rates.
The News seems to think also that
the railroads will go into bankruptcy
and that business will be further
further shot to pieces, but on the
other hand it will mean that the
railroads will receive more shipments
of goods both outgoing and incoming
from all sections of Florida than
they have ever received before and
sue ha suggestion only comes at the
instance of those who want to pro-
duce some argument to block the
movement to give every community
a square deal.
If there is any sincerity in the ar
gument offered by the Sanford and
Palatka Boards of Trade for discrim-
mating against other Florida towns,
then how under the sun do they JUS
tify their position of demanding a
square deal, equal representation
and removal of the state capital"
from Tallahassee to this section of
the state? Lakeland and other in
land towns are put in the same light
in this freight rate proposition as
they are on the capital removal mat
ter, because it is taxation without
representation" sure enough.
The port cities that are fighting a
square deal and the rights of inland
cities and that are afraid to take
their chances, are not doing them
selves a justice and demonstrate
plain narrowness.-Lakeland Star.

With Other Editors
AFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE?

AFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE?
In this issue of The Star we are
printing the statement of The Palat-
ka News with reference to the equal
izing of freight rates in Florida. The
article is run just to show how self
ish and narrow and consistent some
communities can be (just like indi-
viduals, thought, when they see a
little money or power slipping be-
tween their fingers, or when you
don't do something to please their
selfish whims. Sanford is falling
into the Palatka swim also and
wants to be able to get discrimina-
ton in her favor. The News says
if the fourth section is enforced it
will mean: "That Palatka will have
no preferential rate over any other
Florida city and that it will pay it's
freight rate at so much per mile, just
as every other Florida city will pay
it."
We are surprised at the position if
sincere, taken by Palatka in wanting
favors and to get something not ac-
corded to othr cieties. Why is Pa
latka entitled to any more than Or
lando or Lakeland? Why is Palat-
ka or Sanford any better than Lake
land, Gainesville, Lake City, Plant
City or any other city in Florida, and
is it right that they should be allow
ed a preference and be favored by
giving them a reduction on rates,
over the other towns? 1t is the
