THE BOOT AND THE SLAP

Political writer's, in turning out their
daily stint, sometimes start rumors and
when they gather sufficient force to set
the people to thinking, write articles to
deny rumors. Thus copy" is made, though,
in fairness to political writer's, not by them
alone. =.
The latest rumor, nailed on the head
and clinehed on. the other side, was that
Senator Claude Pepper;.Was going to re-
sign as senator to ,aacept an appointment
in President TrumaRs! cabinet, To make.
the rumor moreI interesting, it was added
that when Senator Pepper resigned, Fuller
Warren would quit his office as governor
to succeed Pepper. ~ e,
But according to an Associated Press
wire from Tallahassee, Governor Warren
asserted that neither was Pepper going to
resign nor he, Warren, would give up his
office as governor except under one con-
dition-to re-enter the country's military
service in the event of another war.
Had the rumor turned out to be true
it would have been stirring news to a good
many Floridans who are eying eagerly
Peppers seat in the senate. Willard Cald-
well, who retired as governor on January
4, did not say what he intended to, do, but,
as he is politician, he probably will be a
candidate for office again. Whether he or
Dan McCarty or both will oppose Pepper
in the primary next year, only they or their
close friends know, but if Caldwell runs,
the weary taxpayers should recall that
when he became governor in January of
1915, the state budget amounted to $685.
412, 161, and when he left office it had
gone up to 1904 ,522, 538, by far the great
est increase during the term. of office of
any other governor in the history of the
state.
While that fact will sway many voters,
who feel the tax burden is rapidly reach
lung the crushing stage, Key Westers will
remember Caldwell chiefly as the COVER
nor who gave his local campaign manager
the boot and slapped Monroe county at the
same time.

TRADE WAR OVER RECORDS

The sixteen million owners of record
playing machines will find themselves in
volved in what is described as trade
war; between the two largest makers of
records
This is an unfortunate result of the de-
velopment of new long-playing discs.
Two companies, both ready to put their
new, unbreakable records on the market,
have adopted different timetables, with
the result that one record revolves forty
five times minute, another thirty-three
and ore-third times a minute and the con-
ventional records revolve seventv-eight
times minute.
The net result is that the two new
type records cannot be used on competing
monographs and neither can be played on
conventional machines without additional
mechanism. Both companies have an
nounced that the new systems are avail
able to other manufacturers without cost
However, the owners Of standard record
players will not take lightly to the neces-
sity Of buying three machines in order to
play three different types of.records
Of course, the manufacturers can sug-
gest that the public can just do without
playing the new records. If they don't
look out, this is just what the public will
do.

WHAT FARMERS REALLY NEED

We read in the newspapers that. the
ultra-sonic ray holds miracles for Ameri-
can farms, representing a source of power
and energy that can be put to work to
increase the yields Of vegetables and
grain, kill mosquito larvae within five
seconds and kill mice and reaches by
cooking" them to death.
The forward-looking experts suggest
that the surface has only been scratched
and there is much more to be expected
from these new weapons of science With
out going into the details of what the
prophets predict, we suggest to the scien-
lists, if they want to help the average
farmer, to find some way to kill weeds.
