THE STATE DIVISION"
WILL OF THE WISP"

We were glad to see the following
in the Tampa Tribune:
1t is pitiful to see how some who
started out to advocate the removal
Of Florida's state capital have gone
off chasing the "Will O. the wisp" of
state divisioni
The Tribune doubts very seriously
whether if put to the vote which must
be taken, that any appreciate demand
for state division would be found. Ev-
cry question of sentiment, association,
business and economic demand, cries
out against the thing for the cost, the
delay, the confusion, and last of all,
the division, which would result if the
movement continued.
Two states instead of one. Two
state capitals with a duplication of
state offices from governor, supreme
court, and all, down to the veriest con-
stable, would be the lot of the people,
Two sets of United States senators
and congressman would have to be
elected. A satisfactory apportion-
ment of the state's expense account,
and a division of it's income would be
needed. Two of everything that per-
tains to the states functioning would
be needed. This would not mean
handing over the old set of officers,
departments and systems to one of the
new states and holding elections for
only the other. The officers and de-
partment heads of the Florida state
Florida as it stands today. Neither
half, if created into a new state,
would be content to, nor could, hand
over to the other than machinery and
equipment now functioning.
In addition to this trouble, delay,
expense and annoyance, there is to be
considered the fact that two addition
al United States senators would be
created from the "Solid South" The
republican administration is in con-
troll. If it conducts itself sanely in
.
this Congress, it will, in all proba-
bility, retain control in the November
elections Then he must be indeed an
optimist who can see a republican
Senate and a republican chief execu-
tive approving and constituting an
other "Solid South" state with its up
setting addition of two new demo
cratic United States senator's!
! State division looms like beacon
star to those who have not considered
the maze through which it is CLEAN
| ing. Those who attempt to follow it
soon will find that instead it is, indeed
and in truth. an ignis fatuus, that
will-o'-the-wisp which leads you on
and on and on into greater depths of
gloom and distraction, and which
when approached at nearness, disap-
pears as a mist leaving the eager
pursuer lost indeed.

Mr.. Shackleford stood unalterably
opposed to capital removal plans, say
ing that he believes such a proposition
impossible, but that state division is
not only possible, but probable. He
cited that Senator Moses, of New
Hampshire, had promised that when
ever Florida feels that it should be
divided, that he would see that the
United States Senate puts it through
Mr.. Shackleford said he did not be-
lieve that either Senator Fletcher or
Senator Trammell would introduce the
proper bill, or resolution, in the re-
publican Senate to divide Florida, but
did believe that the United States
Senate will create a new state if the
of citizens indicate they wish
it.-From the report of the Capital
Removal Association committee meet
ing by the Palatka correspondent of
the Times Union.
A nice prospect-Florida democrats
setting aside their own senators and
appealing to a republican for help in
dividing the state. Not any of that
for Marion county, Mr.. Shackleford.

Yes, we see in a dispatch that your
delegate said sentiment in your county
was unanimous for state division. Was
he correct, and if so what has become
of the sentiment so freely expressed
for capital removal by Orange coun-
tvs delegation at the Ocala meeting,

We remarked yesterday, to a wag-
gish friend, in regard to Mr.. Lasker's
contention that American ships were
immune from prohibition beyond the
three-mile limit, that according to
law the deck of an American ship
was American soil, no matter where
she sailed. And said friend replied
that according to higher law the
deck of ship was bound to get wet
whenever she went to sea. We haven't
thought up reply to that yet.

ARMY-NAV BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
House Measure Rushed Through
Upper Chamber
NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE
Equalization ls Its Goai-compensa
tion To Be Computed On Length
OF Service And
Rank.

Washington.-The Senate passed
after only brief debate the House bill
fixing new basis of pay for officers
and enlisted personnel of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard,
Coast and Geodetic Survey and the
Public Health Service Two amend
ments were added and the mes sure
now goes to conference with the
House for adjustment of the differ
ences.
Provisions of the bill are effective
July /, upon which date the present
wartime basis of pay and allowances
automatically expires and which
would have been supplanted by the 1905
schedules had not action been taken
on the revision bill
Chairman Wadsworth of the special
committee in charge of the bill de-
clared it was written on an entirely
new plan which he asserted was the
first effort to put the pay of the serv-
ices ON scientific basis. Mr.. Wads-
worth claimed that the measure would
save the Government total of nearly
$16,000,000 in 1928, as compared to the
present rates of pay, but it will cost
approximately $1,000,000 more than
the 1908 basis, computed on the pres
ent strength of the services affected.
In writing the bill, Mr.. Wadsworth
said the joint commission which con-
Quoted an extended inquiry into the
ElIh1nnf CnIpht tn oD11o1i1a nd nl CT
the rates of pay so that the compensa-
tion of officers and men alike would
be computed on a combination of
length of service and rank. The chair
man said it guarded against what he
termed the 'stagnation" in promotion
so that an officer or man automatical-
ly will receive increases in salary after
given periods of years, while at the
same time, according to the Senator's S
explanation, the Government is pro.
tected against "the evils of too rapid
promotion" and the consequent rapid
increases in base pay
The old schedules of allowance for
quarters, heat and light are done away
with and single allowance covering
all and adjustable to meet changing
living costs was substituted so that,
the Senator said the personnel of the
service "can live as Americans ought
to live. modestly yet with self.respect
and free from worry about getting into
debt"
Cognizance is taken Of the man with
dependents and he is accorded more
than the unattached officer or man
with view to providing "a modest
competence" for all.
Senator Wadsworth explained that
while the pay of some men would be
cut others will receive increases, and
he believed that on the whole "the
result will be one that will encourage
men to make the services a career
with a knowledge that the future holds
prospects worth while for them" The
Senator added he felt certain, from
the information given the joint COM
mission during its study, that the
morale Of the military areas would be
greatly improved.
