Twenty Years" of Harding

1T seems as though / had been
president for twenty years" said
President Harding in a speech al
the National Press Club.
Not only to you, Mr.. President, but
to others does your service of one
year seem like two decades To the
following citizens it seems all OF
! twenty years-or longer:
The 100000 men who are tramp
ing the streets under your admins
tration looking for jobs
The farmers who are burning their
corn and who cannot sell their pro-
ducts at profit because their foreign
markets have been destroyed by your
party's policies.
The business men who have been
waiting in vain for a revival of bust
ness, which you and your party prom
Used, while business conditions have
steadily grown worse.
The legitimate capitalists W h O
would invest in industrial enterprises,
instead of tax exempt securities, if in
dustry had been revived as promised
by you and your party.
The owners of factories whose
plants are closed or running on re-
duced time by reason of the failure
of you and your party to redeem
your election pledges.
The average taxpayer to whom you
promised reduction of taxes, which
they are still looking for.
The ex-service men who have
watched you play hide-and-seek with
the bonus and who have been dis
criminated against in appointments
to postmasterships.
The producers and shippers who
have waited in vain for a reduction
of freight rates.
The genuine friends of civil ser
vice who have witnessed your mock
cry and contempt for civil service
principles.
The man whose emblem was once
the full dinner pail" but is now the
empty pocket.
The man who voted for change
and got it.
Yes, Mr.. President, it seems like
twenty years-all of twenty years.
Pensacola Journal.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-03-31

But after they have done this,
what lies before them for the future?
Are we to continue year after year
meeting a deficit out of the private
pocket, and each year permitting the
distraction of uncertainty to take
from teachers and pupils the atten-
ton they should give to work? 1t is
certain that under the present school
laws a county is powerless to aid
itself, and the condition that con-
fronts us is frightening.
There is relief in sight, after this
year, if the people will but take ad-
vantage of it. 1t will CO nj
through the amendment to Section 10
of state statutes to be submitted to
the voters at the general election in
November. That proposed amend
ment constitutes each school district
a judge of it's own needs, and places
in its power the right to raise suffic-
lent money, through taxation to carry
on the schools as needed.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-03-31

The section as submitted by tne
last legislature is as follows:
Section 10. The legislature may
provide for the division of any county
or counties into convenient schooi
districts; and for the election blennl-
ally, of three school trustees VINO
shall hold their office for two years
and who shall have the supervision
of all the schools within the district
and for the levying and collecuhs Vi
a district school tax, for the exclusive
use of public free schools within the
district. whenever majority Oh Ine
qualified electors thereof that pay a
tax on real or personal property snail
vote in favor of such levy; ProVlueu
that any tax authorized by this sec
tion shall not exceed ten mills on the
dollar in any one year on the taXaDie
property of the district.
With this amendment to the sec
ton. each school district Will nave lhe
right to levy such additional millage'
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-03-31

I'D to ten mills, in any one year, as
the trustees of that district find will
be necessary for supplementing the
general school tax money which the
district will receive.
Today, nearly every county in Flor
ida is facing a short school year, or
digging down deep into the pockets
of a certain few in each county; for
he it understood, there is always the.
faithful. dependable, few on which
the burden falls in time like this!
Putting this amendment on the stat
ute books means that those who real
" benefit by the schools will pay
their Just part of the expense of keep
ing school.
The predica m e mt Hills
borough county, and several others,
find themselves in this spring should

necessary to ensure the adoption of
this amendment at the earliest pos
sible moment.-Tampa Tribune.

of the department having ruled that
legal meetings can be held only in
Tallahassee, and the next meeting
will be held there sometime in April.
! Tamiami trail boosters had planned
to attend the expected meeting III
Tampa in force in order to impress
upon the department the importance
of this highway and the fact that ii
! is due consideration from the state
road department. However, h e
change in the meeting place to the
other end of the state will not, as
one trail advocate expresses it, lessen
the ardor for or minimize the need
of the west coast for the immediate
boosters would be on hand to present
their case even though the distance
were twice as far. Punta Gorda will
be represented at the meeting by sew
eral delegates as we'll as Fort Myers
and other places along the route of
the trail. About all that will be ask
ed of the department at present is
that the trail from Punta Gorda to
Fort Myers by the short-route be
designated as a continuation of State
road number five SO that Charlotte
may go ahead and improve |
his road with assurance that in time
he county will be given credit for |
whatever money is spent upon it.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-03-31

Some commodities sell for three
and four times as much as it costs to
produce them-that is, an article that
originally cost 81 to make may cost
the consumer $4 or IS. The manu-
facturer gets his profit, then there
are two or three distributors, whole
salers, jObbers and statesmen who
must have theirs-and of course the
retailer must have a reasonable pro-
lit. The difference between the price
the manufacturer charged and the
price at which the consumer bought
the article may be called the selling
cost. Because the user usually buys
direct from the manufacturer, print
ing is relatively the cheapest manu-
factured commodity of all, the aver
age selling cost being about Is per
cent instead of three or four hundred
percent. Seventy-fve percent of the
cost of producing printing is paid out
for labor, so when you patronize your
home printer you know that the
greater part of the price you pay
stays at home and that sooner OF
later you'n get a part if not all of i
back. When you buy from travel
ing statesmen you usually have to pa,
more than the local printer asks fo
the same quality of work (except il
case of some specialties that canno
be produced in the average shop eco
nomiCally) and the money is gon
forever.

Cray" Election Laws

An item something like this is go
ing the rounds of the state press
Election laws of Florida seem I.
have been framed to discourage vot-
ers from taking part in elections.
There is so much red tape to be un-
wound before a man or woman is
eligible to vote that many people get
discouraged and give up trying" One
paper goes as far as to say that
state election laws are a "crazy tan
gle"
Well, now really, are the election
laws of Florida so very complicater
as to discourage people of average
intelligence from voting?
Any man or woman of twenty-one
years of age, being a citizen of the
! United States, who has registered in
the state of Florida one year and in
the county six months, is eligible to
vote. Nothing particularly compli-
Gated about that, merely a necessary
safeguard over the ballot box.
In order further to qualify, the
elector must register That is, must
appear before a qualified officer and
have his or her name properly placed
upon the list of voters. A very sim
pie matter.
A still further qualification is that
the elector shall have paid the poll
taxes due.
In ordinary elections those are the
only qualifications, the law stating
the time at which one must register
and the time at which the poll taxes
must be paid.
After those three very simple
things have been qualified, all tha
is necessary for any elector to do
is to appear at the polls on election |
day, secure his ballot, mark it and
place it in the ballot box.
There are some further qulifica-
tions where one desires to vote in
elections held for the purpose of de
termining whether bonds for any pur-
pose shall be issued, and that is that
the voter must be the owner of real
estate and the taxes paid thereon fo'
the year then due.
In the city elections there is exact
ly the same procedure to be followed
in order to qualify. Voters register
with the county for county, state and
elections, and in the city for
city elections.
1t would appear to the conserva-
tive minded that these are only the
very simplest of regulations and that
they are the least possible restrictions
that will insure a free, fair and clean
election.
If those papers that are saying so
much about the crazy tangle of Flori~
da's election laws would kindly sub
nit suggestions as to how the laws |
may be simplified and the ballot still |
be amply protected, they will GER
tainly get a respectful hearing, pro-
vided, always that their suggestions |
are aCticable.-Miami Herald.

A $4,000 LEAK

We hear great deal about the
tremendous amount of money that is
sent away from here to mail order
houses in New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia and other places, and all
thinking people deplore the fact that
this money is sent away, realizing
that not one cent of it will ever
find it's way back here and that it
is helping to build up these far re-
moved cities and swell the fortunes
of the mail-order kings. 1t is gone
forever. 1t will never help to build
road or a school house or to make
other improvements here, and con-
sequently will never give employment
to those who live in this section and
must earn their living by labor. Each
year this section is made poorer by
| perhaps $50, 0,000-certainly not less
| because of the habit many people
have of sending away for goods that
could be procured here-and it is a
fact that those who send their mon
ey away are the very people who suf-
| fer the most as a result. There
seems to be no way of stopping this
leak in the community's bank ac-
count all at once. but perhaps the
| day will come when the folly of the
practice will be generally recognized
and nearly everyone will buy at home,
even if they have to pay little more.
However, there is another big
leak, amounting to at least 100000
a year, that could be stopped at once,
we believe.
1t is a fact, we are told by good
authority, that not more than one
seventh of Charlotte county's citrus
crop is packed within the borders of
the county. The other siX-sevenths
is sent by truck or train either to
Fort ogden, Arcadia or Orlando, ar .
most of the men who do the picking,
loading, hauling and packing are out
siders who do not even live in this
county. Most of the trucks, we are
told, come from Arcadia, burn Arcad-
ia gas and are driven by residents of
! Arcadia or other places outside this
community. This means that min
| imum of $4,000 is being paid Out
to outsiders that might be paid to lC
cal people, who live here, pay taxes
here and help to support the local
business enterprises-Or would give
employment to at least 20 new wage
earners and increase the population
of the community at least 100
Twenty-thousand is mentioned as
very conservative estimate, it being
more than likely that 100000 is
nearer the amount than 100000, but
even if it is no more than $4,000 |
the community is losing that amount |
each year.
Twenty or thirty thousand dollars
a year is not a very great sum even
to small community, but it is well
worth keeping here and this could bC
done to the advantage of everyone,
t would seem. If there was a chance
o locate a new enterprise here that
would pay out an average of $4,000
month in wages we'd probably get to-
5ether and offer tract of land anC
maybe cash bonus to get it located
cut here we have an established in
lustry that is doing that very thing
but the money is going to other
Something is wrong
when such a situation exists and it is
to be hoped that the few men who
control it will find way to give this
section the benefit of the money they
are now sending away.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-03-31

The main argument of the Bryar
boosters seems to be that Mr. Bryar
would put Florida on the map
Florida is already on the map and the
Bryan boosters will have to think III
some better argument than that to in
duce Florida voters to turn down
Trammell, who has served the state
so well, for a man who has lived in
the state barely long enough to quail
fly as a.vOter, no matter who he may
be or how able. Florida got herself
into a heluva mess once and made
herself the laughing stock of the
country by EN- bracing boundcr from
Alabama and electing him governor
just as soon as he got his suitcase
unpacked, and while Mr.. Bryan may
not be classed with Cats, to elect
him to the senate just as soon as he
sets foot in the state, in place OF a
native who has given many years of
efficient service, would reflect no
more credit upon the electorate than
did the election of Cats to the gov
ernorship and would be an exhibition
Of fickleness and ingratitude seldom
if ever equalled in other states.

CLIPPED COMMENT


There is too much back talk"
going on in the world-remarks made
solely for retaliation without due re-
gard for facts. The statement that a
man is liar and thief too often
means only that he owes the speaker
a dollar, or that his chickens have
scratched up somebody's garden.
Public officials are accused of negli-
gence and grating by those who have
found them too conscientious. News
papers are accused of spite by those
who have cause to regret that the
press is telling the truth. But hu-
man feelings must be expressed and
