Play to Railway
Mapagement
‘Pensacola, Fla., January 9, 1923
—"‘lf the public will accord faith
~and fair play to railway manage
ment ard railway investors, trane
portation during 1923 will be
adequate to handle the nation’s
busipess during what promises to be
‘a period of prosperity’’ said J. D.
McCartney, Assistant to the Presi
dent of the Central of Georgia
Railway in an address at the annual
meeting of the Pensacola Chamber
of Commerce tenight.
““On the contrary'’ the speaker
gaid,'‘if public sentiment listens to
the cry of agitators and radicals,
transportation will be so restricted
that it will be unable to meet the.
demands of farm, factory and mire.
Quoting the words of President
" Harding that no problem is more
important than that of transporta
tion, Mr. McCartney argued for a
fair trial of the Transportation Act,
which 18 now under attack in Con
gress. He cited figures to show
that the railways are now handling
trafic of record-breaking volume,
“which he contended was proof that
the present scale of freight rates
. does not restrict the flow of com
merce, and gave the annual report
of’the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion as authority for this statement
With the growtlr of a better un
derstanding of railway problems
~and the realization that the coune
try’s prosperity is linked with that
of the catriers, the speaker anticipa
ted mutual benefit to all interests
~ involved.

Taxes Being Paid Slowly
Tax Collector R. R. Greenis
busy of late in taking in the she
kels that are due as taxes, and
though the taxes were all due
and should have been paid prior
to December 20th, the date for
the closing of the books, a con
siderable amount is yet due,
gome of which he is taking
in daily. - N
Executions are being issued as
fast as can be, and in a very
short time, when this job is com
pleted, they will be turned over
to an officer for service.
Better get your taxes paid at
an early date and save the trou
ble and added expense of this
mode of collection.
Something like about sixty five
per cent of the taxes has™ been
collected to date.
Good Plot Everything.
A plot, after all, is a design to whigh
everything elss must be subordinated
if the reader's attention is to be en
ticed and enthralled. Rude life may
not conform to this design, and the
psychologist may desplse it, yet there
is no such thing as a good novel that
has not a good plot.—Francls Hackett.
