THE IDENTIFICATION OF ORANGE COUNTY
HIGHWAYS
tOrlando Reporter Starr

tOrlandO RcpOrterStar)
As Orange county was the leader in the better roads
movement of Florida the first state good roads rally
having held in Orlando it is than proper
that she should take the initial step in a systematic
program for the Identification of her highways.
The citizens OF Orange now spending $2,500,OO0
in building roads and widening others. Would we
spend a tenth OF this amount public building and
not beautify grounds surrounding it? Such neglect
would depreciate the property at least 25 per cent
To assist Orange county in making her roads the most
beautiful to be found anywhere, the Identification
mttee has obtained the services of of Americas
most noted and renowned landscape artist Warren H.
Manning, who has perhaps laid out more estates and
assisted in beautfying miles of highways than
any other man of his profession Mr.. Manning will be
in Orlando next week to advise with the identification
committee and those interested in Identifying Orange
every mile of hardsurfaced read that to be hard
surfaced under the bond issue, and plan for it's
Identification.
Every citizen of Orange county should be interested
in this important undertaking. and is your duty to be
at the mass meeting which will be called for some
day next week to acquaint the public with the plan
under consideration and details of its working. For
very few thousand dollars, the roads CT this county
can be made so beautiful that they will gain national
prominence 1t will be an investment worth many
times the money put into it, and the profit from such
an investment directly indirectly back to you
and me- Let all pull together and keep Orange
county in her rghtfu position, at the head of the
county advancement column the State of Florida.

AND NOW-ALL TOGETHER!

Lakeland has taken another forward step.
Lakeland on Tuesday made new history for herself.
Lakeland is about to enter that class Of municipalities
known the best governed cities in The world; this has
pass because The people OF Lakeland have spoken
for the commission-manager form Of civic government.
The result Of Tuesdays election should not be mis-
understood by anybody. That result is not personal
achievement Of any man or any set of men. hat re-
suit is the verdict of the onty of the qualified electors.
1t is true the majority is not large but it majority
nevertheless Because it is SMALL the obligation resting
upon these who are to administer The charter all the
greater.
Tuesdays result is triumph for the forward-looking
and forward-thinking people of this community and IN
making this assertion the Telegram is not casting any
reelection on those who conscientous!y opposed to
making the change from the old to the There had
been precedent for SO much popular opposition; there
was a fear that things might so wrong again and there
was evident dstrust the part Of many substantial
citizens that the city manager plan mght not work out
well here in Lakeland. But enough voters were willing
10 take chance The new firm of government to make
the adoption of that form a legal proceeding and the
voice of the people has been heard Naturally the mem
bers of the charter board will rejoice that their services
to the city, rendered without cent of remuneration
have borne fruit They toed long and faithfully, with
out thought of SELF to give Lakeland the very best bill
of rights that could lie worked out, having always in
mind the future conyi. d that what Lakeland needs
is a proper foundation 10, ,at. in very lew years.
will be one of the largest a. most attractive cities in
southwest Florida.
Today therefore starts in Lakeland his
tory. There is much of hope much Of vision. SO
much possible of achievement under the charter adj
ministered by sympathetic and understanding hands,
that there is nothing impossible Of accomplishment. But
the warning ought tic be sounded how that all these
good things cannot be expected to over night 1t
must necessarily be process Of progress because the old
routine will have 10 be abandoned and the brought

ager will have to adjust conditions from day to day so
thai it may be year, perhaps two three years before
all the blessings that follow the adoption of this system.
become generally apparent.
AS Mayor Hubert Petteway pointed out in his remarks
at the mass meeting in the city park Monday night,
any form OF government, no matter how good, cannot
be success unless has the endorsement, hearty prac-
teal and sincere, of majority Of the people 30 IN
this instance the manager plan cannot be genuine sue
cess unless everybody gives that moral approval and
support to the city officials that is vitality necessary If
the best results are to be obtained.

stance to begin this price war. While
other tractor companies have their
yards full of tractors and other farm
machinery they cannot sell, the De-
troit wizard has unloaded practically
all of his tractors on protesting de IL
ers. These dealers do not get the
benefit of the recent cut. They find
themselves with half a dozen to fifty
tractors which they were induced by
various devices to purchase at the
old price, They lost the $3.50. Mr..
Ford doesn't.
Thus the willy Mr.. Ford will obtain
millions of words of free advertising
and suffer little. The Ford dealer gets

INTERNATIONAL MEETS
FORD ON TRACTOR PRICES
Will Give Harrow or Three-Furrow
Plow With Each Sale on
Tractor
By Glenn Griswold

Henry Ford may find himself SO
busy tending to his own business in
the next few months that he will
have little time to reorganize the cur
rency system of the country, de-
monetize gold or flay the money bar
ons of Wall Street.
The new prices quoted on tractors
and the temper of Harvester officials
would seem to indicate that the pray
ers of the country that someone give
Mr.. Ford some real competition, are
about to be answered.
A week ago Mr.. Ford announced a
reduction of $3.50 in the price of
Fordson tractors, cutting the price
from 1925 to 1895. Last night the
International Harvester Company
sent out the following statement and
officials refused to add word or to
change a syllable of the official an
nouncement. The announcement said
"The International Harvester Com
pany today announced price reduc-
tons of $3.50 on two-plow tractors
and 5000 on three-plow tractors, eff
fective Immediately.
Until May next, the company
will present to every farmer pur-
chasing one of these tractors two
furrow or three-furrow pillow or a
tractor disk harrow.
President Harold F. Mccormick
said; "This reduction is not justified
by any present or prospective reduc-
ton of manufacturing costs. 1t isl
made chiefly to meet competition and
enable our dealers to retain their
position in the tractor trade. The
burden of this reduction and the cost
of the plows or harrows presented to
purchasers will be borne entirely by
the company "
Read it again and then consider
the attendant circumstances. Not so
long ago Edsel Ford gave an inter-
view that the company lost 500
apiece on every tractor manufac-
tured in 1921. Officials of the Inter-
national Harvester Company know
enough about manufacturing costs
to know that he spoke the truth.
When that tractor, which cost 500
more than the sale price to produce
in 1921, was cut from 1925 to 1896
International Harvester executives
knew that Mr.. Ford intended to
throw his personal fortune into the
game of selling tractors at a huge
loss, to corral what tractor business
is to be had and to dominate the
field when the farmer begins to buy
again.
Mr.. Ford has said much about
building and selling million tractors
year. Thus far he has had little
luck in the direction Of this ambition.
Last year he built $4,000 tractors
and lost $3,6OO,0OO thereby. He ap-
pears still to hope that he may
achieve the million figure at which
time he would not be operating at q
loss. ]

The Sherif's Office

1t Is quite evident that there Is a
most determined effort being made
to defeat sheriff Hall. The average
voter would like to know what is
the reason
1t seems to us quite certain that
some OF this opposition is because
Hall has been too active In his cam
paign against booze. II that is the
only fault to find with Hall. We are
for him. He has got a few about
here. but We only wish he had got
more. We are quite certain that
there are more here who need to be
caught; for. the good OF the commu-
nifty and their own good as well.
The sooner the maker and seller OF
booze is brought to task and made
to see the error OF his ways, the
sooner he will get into respectable
business. to his own and the com
nunity's advantage.
Is the sheriff's Office at fault be-
cause more Raymer stills have not
been located? Is that the reason
why every one that has been sus-
pected or caught are working for his
defeat?
+ Have We as citizens OF Raymer
given the support that we should
TO law enforcement? II Is common
belief that should the sheriff drive
into town tomorrow. word would be
sent Immediately giving warning Of
a probable raid. Are those who do
these things, working to defeat Hall
In the hope that they will get some
man clever enough to circumvent
them in their efforts to cheat the
law?
Raymer is credited with having
seven stills, says the, Weld County
News, out OF the 1855 said to infest
the county. In the face OF this sort
OF claim. there cannot be too great
activity against the business.
The way to get some votes away
from Hall would be to promise to
get those stills and stop their devel-
ish work.
Now. as We understand the mat
ter. Mr.. Corder, Democratic candi-
date for the position would wish 1t
understood that he would be just as
vigorous or more 80 in running the
booze makers and peddlers to cover
