A REASONABLE EDITOR,

After all is said and done, it must be
admitted that the average small town edi-
tor is reasonable He viii agree to almost
any proposition which seems fair He will
even suggest several propositions and let
the other fellow take his choice.
This obliging attitude is well illustrat-
ed by an item in the Tribune, published in
Altoona, Kan, which says:
Anyone owing this paper is requested
to call and pay at once. Anyone not owing
is requested to call and subscribe and begin
owing at once. Anyone we are owing is
requested to subscribe for this paper in adj

CWA TRANSFORMATION
(OrlandO RepOrter-Star)

The general shakeup in Florida CWA
should serve to reduce shakedown. Maybe
there hasn't been any shakedown, but
there's been lots of talk
Administrator Julius Stone is trans
forming the whole CWA structure. He is
said to be moving the skeleton" of the or
ganization to Jacksonville. No doubt some
skeletons will be left behind.
The move to jacksonville will be
more convenient for the people of Central
and South Florida than Tallahassee. But
Orlando would have been far more conven-
lent for all Florida.
Nor need Mr.. Stone console himself
in the belief that he is moving into less
political atmosphere. He will find as many
political wire pullers and chiselers in Jack
sonville as at Tallahassee and for the same
school. watch, look and listen" will be
a good motto for Mr.. Stone to follow if he
has sincere desire to serve worthy and
needy people in Florida.
