Says the Lakeland Telegram: "It
has always been suspected that the
legal fight instituted against the pay
ment of the one cent gallon gasoline
tax imposed by act of the last legis-
lature, was fathered by the big oil
interests. The temporary success of
the movement caused suspension of
the operation of the tax gathering but
with the recent decision of the su-
preme court of Florida that the gaso-
line tax is legal tax and is to be col
lected as required by act of the legis-
lature, comes the obligation on the
part of the dissenting oil companies
to pay up all arrears. The chickens
have come home to roost. State Con-
troller Ernest Amos claims that the
oil companies now owe the state of
Florida S342,993.54. That is a sub
stantial amount of pocket change and
i will bring joy to the state road de-
partment which will be able to carry
out the original good roads program
as decided on before the oil people
messed up with the states taxing ma
chinery. It may be true, that because
no reduction was made to the con-
sumner after the gasoline tax was first
declared by the lower courts to be in
valid, the oil companies have been
setting aside this little nest egg
against the possible contingency of
an ultimate unfavorable decision, but
this does not change the fact that the
state of Florida is going to get what
is coming in the shape of back taxes
with a ten per cent penalty added.
There is one inspiring feature in con-
nection with the collection of the
gasoline tax that not a cent of ex-
pense has been incurred in making the
collection, every penny being turned
into the state treasury at Tallahas-
see."

In Fridays daily Star, also in the
weekly Star, and in the weekly Ban
ner, are published the estimate for
the city councils budget for next
year. The council invites the citizens
to be present at special meeting to
be held at the city hall next Thurs
day evening, Aug. 81, to make sug-
gestions in regard to said budget. We
shall now see what the public attitude
is toward the program for next year.
If there is a considerable number
present at the meeting and strong OBJ
jections to any proposed feature, or
something. not in the estimate is ad-
vocated,- with strong backing, it will
be the fair thing to heed the opinions

portion of the people. Nobody can
claim that the meeting has not been

IT'S A PERILOUS CONDITION

l hate to be burned pussonal,
But it seems as if Orlando
Which is round at each end
And has land in the middle
Was having a severe attack
Of Beatemup microbes;
And no one seem to know
Just where to massage
To keep the wrinkles
From continual spreading.
No city can be perfect
And no city can be better
Than its people desire.
Orlando is doing everything
To keep its record clean;
And it seems a pity
When things are running erlong
As smooth as an eel
Gliding here and elsewhere
In the soft slushy silt
In slow rivers bed,
To have group of nuts
Commence to adopt methods
OF promiscuously beating
Those whose opinions differ.

Therefore given the company the equiv
alent of S29S.49 for which he has re-
ceived nothing.
From the foregoing analysis it will
be seen that contract holder who Is
so fortunate as to obtain contract No.
of series will in all probability OBJ
tain loan at an interest rate slightly
more than three per cent per annum,
while the holder of contract No. so
will be required to pay interest at the
rate of slightly more than five per
cent per annum. Thence as the con-
tract numbers become greater the rate
of interest increases by leaps and
bounds until we find that the holder
of contract No. 100 is required to pay
in money or its equivalent interest
at the rate of more than 81 per cent
per annum for the advance actually
received by him. The last few con-
tracts in the series will not mature in
time so that the holders will receive
any loan in addition to the money al
ready paid in on their contracts.
AS stated before no promise is held
out as to when a fellow will get his
loan after he goes in-no doubt the
agent will tell him he will get it
"soon" on account of the volume of
business, but it should be remembered
only one in hundred can get a loan
each month and his turn is dependent
upon chance and the best that can be
hoped for in lottery scheme is the
average. and the average time in this
game of chance is fifty months-a lit
tie over four years! A nice time to
have to wait when a fellow is in a
hurry for his money.
This is not new idea. 1t was tried
out in England and failed and was
prohibited by an act of parliament as
far back as 1884 and I have been told
that it was given a trial in this coun-
try some years ago and went the way
of all such schemes.
The big attraction is cheap money
and with this feature kept dangling
before the eyes of prospective bor-
rover, everything else is lost sight OF
until he is hooked.
He must pay regularly or he is fined
for his failure to do so, and after his
contract has "matured" for loan he
rust give ample securities and satisfy
the co:nranv as TO title, values. etc.
# h has ample securities he can
'rc"4'e his 'oan through his local bank
ia be edaiirg with people he knows;
| Il his security is not sufficient then the
loan company viii not be satisfied
with it or he be in a hole if it takes it.
After considering the contracts of
number of companies and informa-
ton obtained from other sources, l
am convinced that it is far safer and
better for person to put his money
in the savings department of one of
the many banks of the state, where he
will get full credit for and interest on
every dollar put in, compounded quar-
| terly. And where one has shown
ability to earn money and sufficient
thrift to put aside a portion each
month like he will have to do with the
company | am satisfied he can get ac-
commodations from his banker, and
though at higher rate of interest, it
| will at least be safe.
This article is written upon the
theory that eevry contract holder will
stay in-the best side of the policy
as to what can happen-that's another
story.

CHEAP MONEY

BY the terms of the contract each
contract holder pays to the company
SO per month on his contract until
such time as he receives loan Of
$1,000. At the date of the loan there
i endorsed as paid upon same the
full amount which the contract holder
has paid TO that time; contract holder
then repays to the company the
amount remaining due on the loan in
installments of 81 on the principal on
the first day Of each month, plus an
amount of interest equal to one
twelfth of the interest for the year
or the amount remaining due at the
beginning of each year at the rate Of
three per cent per annum.
The first or initial payment, to
gether with the first three payments
on the contract and 10 per cent of the
next five payments, go into the gen.
eral fund of the company. All other
payments made by the contract holder,
including interest, go into a trust
fund. out of which loans are made to
contract holders in the order of prior
ity, determined by the date and hour
Of the application. Thus when $1,000
has accrued in the trust fund the
holder of contract No. 1 provided he
has already paid to the company ten

$1,000.

Contract No. 100. Following the
same method of computation, we find
the holder of contract No. 100 will get
his loan in April 1929, after having
paid 81 payments of SO each, aggre-
eating $50. He then gives a mort
gage for $1,000 adequately secured
and there is Immediately endorsed
upon same as payment 1910. As the
company has already received from
him $50, it is in reality loaning him
only $3.50 of its own money. This loan

months after its date, and the bor-

This borrower has therefore paid
an equivalent of s130.96 for loan of
$50 amortized in 81 months. This is
an equivalent of 61.2 per cent.
Contract No. 121. The holder of
this contract will get his loan of $1,000
in October 1880, after having paid to
the company 90 payments Of SO each
or 1890. AS he has already paid the
company 1890 and receives loan of
$1,000, the company is actually loan
ing him only SO of it's own money.
This loan will be repaid in full in two
months and for the use of this $40 for
two months the contract holder will
have paid in equivalent of the fol-
lowing:

No attempt is made to compute the
rate which this borrower is paying
when he pays an equivalent of $184.72
for the use of SO for two months.
Contract No. 122. The holder of
this contract will not be able to get
loan from the company as he will
have paid to the company 100 pay
ments of $40 each or an aggregate of
$1,000 by November 1880 at which
time there will be a sufficient amount
in the trust fund to return to him his
$1,000 without any interest and with
out any loan being made. Had this
contract holder deposited his money in
savings or other bank or invested it
IN other securities bearing four per
cent interest, it would have yielded
him an interest income of $184.83. He
has therefore paid the company an
equivalent of $194S3 for which he has
received nothing.

These contracts will mature consecu-
