 Government in Italy

1 New York, Nov. 3 (By Associated Press)-The fascist movement "a modern form of banditry" will hold it's power in Italy only short time in the belief of Jean Longuet famous social leader of France who arrived | here today on the Mauretania. Longuet grandson of Karl Marx will remain about two months in the United States featuring and studying the American socialist movement and economic conditions.
 Italian communists by their appeal to violence, he said, has brought enabled the fascist to rise to power.
 "The fascist movement could have lived in the middle ages' he said, but it cannot exist now, for long, be- cause it gives no answer to social problems"
 The fascist movement, he con- tinued was purely Italian and had no bearing on the general economic condition of Europe. No such move ment he added was imminent in France.
 We have the greatest contempt and hatred for fascist methods" he declared.
 Of bolshevism he said The bol- shevist movement in France is great failure because it Is built on condi- tions that did not exist.

A Capital Site Referendum

\ year ago The Tribune and the
| Tampa Board of Trade called on the
people of Southern Florida, meaning
by that term, all Florida south of the
30th parallel of north latitude, or
! |thereabout, to decide among them
selves where they wanted the state
capital in case its removal could be
obtained. 1t pointed out, then, and
repeatedly since, that unless some
place was decided on and the rest of
the peninsular part of the state
pledged to support that place, the
capital would stay in Tallahassee.
The Palatka Chamber of Com
merce has called for a convention to
be held March 13.
For the purpose of formulating
and completing a capital removal as
sociation, n t a i | ng memberships,
drafting of constitution and bylaws,
electing officers, and appointing re-
Quisite committees, we invite you to
select a delegate or delegates to at
tend a convention to be held at a
point pleasing to majority on March
I13, 1922. Your delegate should be
empowered to act fully in behalf of
of peninsular Florida.
That is an excellent idea. Let the
convention be held in Tampa, city
which is strictly neutral in the mat
ter of a site, though persistently de-
mandant for capital removal. Here
would be no possible advantage to
be taken of any place in the running;
and even though this convention
could not fix the place for penisular

still trying to ride to fame on the
reputation of Sam Jones. The Rev
erend Small is always careful to see
to it that the press notices include
mention of the fact that "he and Sam
Jones travelled together before the
death of the latter" The press no.
tices always give a portion of Sans
pedigree for the purpose of convinc-
ing the reader of his greatness. We
have been reading this line of stuff

The free range for cattle is gone
gone where the rain don't fall and
| the wind don't blow''-and the soon
er we recognize that fact and come
down to brass tacks. the better off our
country is going to be.
Many thousands of acres of Flag
| Ter county's lands still stand unim-
proved, and are likely to remain so
for some years to come; but these
lands are no longer the property of
the state. They are owned by pri-
vate parties or corporations, and here
and there farmers are establishing
their homes where they expect to
make their living and reside perman-
emily.
And they are entitled to protection
against encroachment of other per-
sons cattle that, driven by actual
hunger, will tear down fences and
utterly destroy crops without the first
cintilla of responsibility on the part
of the owners of such cattle.
No, the range is no longer free
1t can no longer be used by non-res-
ident cattle owners who pay nothing
| for the use of the range and make
tax returns on SO many less than they
own that not even the state gets an
apprecable benefit.
Then, again, these free range"
people refuse to comply with laws
that would make their cattle worth
more in the market; they care moth
ing about stamping out the cattle
fever tick or the improvement of their
herds-to the great detriment of the
industry and the checking off of those
who in small way, attempt to grow
blooded cattle.
The calling of a special session OF
the legislature for enactment of a
state wide no fence law and compul-
sorry dipping of cattle would seem to
be warranted at this time. While it
is true such a law would cripple some
of these free range" folk, they none
the less deserve the blow. They have
fattened at the expense of the public
for many years. They have seen the
lands transferred from state to settlers
and failed to take heed. No longer
does the state have ownership of the
ranges and the defeat of remedial
measures before the last regular ses-
sion of the legislature was a slap in
the face to SO per cent of the land
owners of Floride. Two per cent of
the population controlled by a well
mOneyed loby the votes of that body
of men sent to Tallahassee to make
laws for the protection of the many

sign was that fewer senior boys failed

that more girl seniors knew about

The Jacksonville bridge across

1T was figured it would pay for it
