DAYLIGHT RUNS WILL
BENEFIT PALATKA

There is now every reason to be-
lieve that Palatka will soon have a
passenger service which will be of
considerable benefit to the city, as
the trip by boat from Jacksonville
has heretofore been made at night
when it was impossible to enjoy the
varied scenery to be viewed along
this great waterway. Both the jour
ney to Palatka, as we'll as the re-
turn trip, was made at an hour when
no actual enjoyment could be taken.
1t is now highly probable that the
new line of boats will soon be on the
run. The reports safe that but one
boat will be placed in service at the
commencement, while another will be
held in reserve until the patronage
shall warrant the additino. These
boats will make better runs than can
be expected of the freight-carrying
vessel, and as but little time will be
lost by tying up the trip will be the
more agreeable to the tourist or the

MUSCLE SHOALS
AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT

Henry Ford started something
when he endeavored to take over the
great Muscle Shoals proposition and
make real business out of it. The
investment made on that project by
the government was depreciating at
rapid rate. The government had
practically abandoned it because
there were no tangible plans ahead.
All the possibilities that had been
contemplated when the vast sums
were expended with prodigal hand
during the war period were still re-
naming, yet no one knew just how
or what to do.
Then Henry Ford figured and made
the government a proposition. From
all portions of the country there
there were supplications forwarded
to Washington asking that the Ford
offer" be accepted upon his own
terms, for that great performer and
organizer had formulated plans by
which the entire south was to be
made into hive of industry. But
some of the great trusts saw that
the success of Ford meant less profit
for them-and politics commenced to
play it's hand. Ford was turned
down. Every proposition of his was
placed in the discard.
Finally the government was Undue
ed to pick up the cards and go ahead
with the work in smaller way than
Ford had promised to carry it on;
and the opponents of the tin eliza
beth manufacturer assumed with
great glee that the government
would bring about wonders-always
of course, with the understanding
that the combinations and trusts
should have a finger, or a fist, in the
pie. With an appropriation of eight
million dollars as a starter" activ.
ity is now being shown in and arounc
the great dam that has already cost
a vast sum. This appropriation is tC
be followed by another of seven anC
one-half millions, and this in turf
will have an additional sum of nearl!
the same size as Chaser" Aftel
that has all been expended those il
charge of the work will be able to de
, termine just how much more will b.
needed to have everything in tiptOl
shape.
, Meantime Ford is sitting tight
wondering what the government will
do with it after all these sums hav,
been expended and considering hi
chances for having the great under
taking suddenly thrust upon him b.
some source when it has been ascer
, tanned that things do not function a

:ARELESSNESS OF THE

EIGHT deaths from accidents by the
of automobiles and motorcycles
ring the year of 1921; eight hou-
d eight hundred and seventy
1T for the previous year; and sew
thousand seven hundred and sew
t-seven for the year 1919!
yer increasing is the death toll
Easing in the percentage fully as
lily as the sale of the vehicles
the greater. In spite of the
sual urgement for a more sane
t the machines, and in spite of
..~.rA safeguards that have been in
troduced, each year sees the more
casualties.
The figures which have been COM
piled by the department of commerce
at Washington regarding these mat
tiers are full of interest-althoug no
claim is made that the list is COM
plete: There are some areas in which
it was impossible to secure figures;
and these areas cover eighteen per-
cent of the entire country. Besides
that omission there is little doubt that
numerous cases never reach the bu-
reau of commerce for tabulation.
Of If
last year occurred in New York
where 1858 deaths were reported;
the smallest number in Delaware
where there were but eighteen. Flor
ida had low total-there being but
90 deaths; with twenty-three states
greatly in excess of that number
The reason for this low percentage
in Florida, it being calculated the
death list is but 94 in each 100000 OF
population, can be easily understood
because of extreme level conditions
of the highways and the ability to see
all threatened danger from consid,
cradle distance. The casualty re.
turns in New York are calculated as
PAL in each 100000 of population
Taken as a whole the federal figures
show that the increase in deaths from
the use of motor vehicles during the
past four years has been some TWEEN
ty-eight percent.
1t is but fair to estimate that OF
the deaths brought about by the au,
tomobile fully eighty percent Of
them are of the avoidable class. Al
insane desire to 'beat the train to the
crossing" is one of the causes of ma
ny fatalities, and these in spite Of
the fact that commonsense should ad
wise against any such practice. Elk

arguments are not needed against
a measure to which every one is op-
posed" continues this article, the
main object of which is to urge every
banker who has not already done so
to write his senator and representa-
tives in Congress opposing the
stamp tax in no uncertain measure.
The tax is discussed in detail, its
effect on banks and on individuals
being reviewed, and Oliver J. Sands,
president of the American National
Bank of Richmond, Va, who is chair
man of a special tax committee of the
American Bankers Association is
quoted as saying that the matter is
a most important one and not even
bankers themselves have yet awak-
ened to what the stamp tax will
mean. The arguments given against
the tax are apparently irrefutable
and coming as they do from those
who are able to speak with author
ity, they should be convincing to
bankers and to the general public.

REAL SERVICE LOAN FUNDS

Practical service through the estab-

for relieving the needy but worthy
school children is being performed by
children of, the Junior American Red
Cross in many parts of the country.
In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York in the East, and in California
and Washington on the Pacific Coast,
this work has been carried forward
in most systematic way. Sums OF
money are set apart from the Junior
Red Cross Service Fund, out Of which
eyeglasses, shoes, school books and
even scholarship may be financed.
Money for these things is lent children
who would otherwise be compelled to
leave school and then the money IS
paid back in small installments.
In Philadelphia considerable work
has been done in providing the scholar
ships, families being paid monthly
sums equal to what child would earn
if employed during school hours, and
then when circumstances will permit
the scholarship money so advanced

No Unemployment Problem

While labor was reported as plen-
tiful in the rural districts, no serious
unemployment problem was noted
and in many places factories and
mills were working full time and
had not cut forces.
The article is entitled "The Busl-
ness Situation in the South" and 1t
covers each state in turn and then
reviews the territory as whole and
it may be deemed authoritative in
it's conclusions It is particularly
interesting to note that without any
attempt at initiation or exaggeration
the bankers of the South are opti-
mistic as to the future and greatly
encouraged as to conditions in the
immediate present.
The Stamp Tax on Bank Checks
Nobody has a kind word for the
proposal to put stamp tax on bank
checks. Even those of lowly estate
boasting no bank account voice
strong protests, because such tax
makes bank checks, just that much
scarcer and harder to get, for them
