of the extraordinary session for the
enforcement of the state-wide amend
ment to the constitution which was
ratified at the polls last November.
This measure, which had previously
passed the house, puts the sale of al

of the measure.
The house today adopted amend
ments to a bill appropriating for the
colleges, that will, if concurred in by
the senate, bring the total of appro
priations back to $824,500. The sen

AMI-TIPPING
BILL IS NOW
BEFORE HOUSE
Measure is Practically the
Same As Georgia Law and
Applies to All Porters and
Waiters
(BY JOHN C, TRICE.)
Tallahassee, May 14. Mr. Phillips,
of Columbia, has introduced a bill in
the house intended to put a stop , to
the practice of tipping hotel and cafe
waiters, - and hotel pullman car and
depot porters. -Mr. . Phillips says the
practice of tipping has grown ; until
it is almost.Jrnjpassibte. to get service
on a pullman car or at a hotel or
depot, unless the customary tip is
forthcoming. Of course every one
who travels also knows this is true,
but most of them seem to have made
up their minds to submit to the tax.
Not so, with Mr. Phillips, who when
not engaged in the manufacture of laws
is on the road all the time. His bill
takes in the whole bunch of guilty
parties, the man givirj the tip, the
person who accepts it, the hotel man
who permits it. These hotel and eat
the house3 desiring to avoid the pen
alties of the act are required to dis
play conspicuously a sign carrying the
legend that no tips are permitted to be
given or received. . ;
. The bill is said to be practically
the same as the Georgia law, and is
said , by the author to be found satis
factory in that state.

portion of the twenty thousand motor
vehicles to be distributed by the fed
eral government to the ' road depart
ments of ,the various states. .-The reso
Jvrtieir recites that the only exp.ense
to the state will be the cost of freight

FAULTY FEATURES
ARE POINTED OUT
Principal Aims is Said to Be
the Abolition of the Pres
ent 'Non Political" Road
Commission.
(BY JOHN C. TRICE)
Tallahassee, May 14. When asked
his opinion of the Wilder bill, F. O.
Miller, chairman of the special com
mittee said
"Well at last we know the full im
port of the Wilder road department
bill. ' V:
It was discussed at length at the
committee meeting last night. V
"Its one great feature seems to be
the abolishing of the present board of
non-political business men and replace
them with three men appointed by the
governor at a salary,, not named but
yet to be determined. No comment
need; be made on this. Its full sig
nificance can be seen at a glance.
"It. provides for a two-mill levy to
meet federal aid and immediately pro
vides to pay counties for roads al
ready built and that such roads may
be a charge against the state. It does
not provide ny " other funds to pay
counties for roads already built and we
must conclude that the refund shall
come from the two -mill levy. Let us
see. A two-mill levy on' $350,000,000
(our state valuation) nets approxi
mately $700,000 per year In, two years
$1,400,000. How far would this go to
wards paying counties for roads al
ready built. Why promise something
that can not be fulfilled? ';
"Again. As long as there is a claim
upon this two-mill levy by the coun-Uor,xmiS-JSSmructed
or
even the possibility of a claim against
the two-mill levy, you can rest assur
ed that the federal . government will
not recognize the law as having 'sub
stantially met the provisions of fed
eral aid and F.orida will not receive the
$2,811,000 which the federal govern
ment is ready to provide for the con
struction of through roads in our
state. . .: ' ' .'
"There are errors all through the
bill. It would complicate tne gooa
roads situation and set it back many
years. '"-'.'.''-.
"If it nassed it would be impossiDie
for the road department to fulfill even
a small, part of the obligation it as
sumes, and all of . the counties would
be d.'sappointed. '
The state could not have its con
nected up system of roads under its
provisions.
"The present road department has a
definite system - of roads planned.
. "The poorer counties that neea tne
heln most will receive it under their
plans and our through- system will be
completed.
"The special committee appointed at
the extra sesion composed of Senator
Wm. Igou, Doyle M. Carlton, Repre
sentatives C. R. Mathis, W. H. Mar
shall and mvself have given much time
to the study of this question and have
recommended legislation that will ral
ly meet the requirements. , Why not
enact this into law?"

November 12-14 Dates De

Enthusiastic Meeting Last
Night.
L- W. HARDY AGAIN
IS FAIR MANAGER
Escambia County Farmers;
and Live Stock Raisers j
Will Be Urged 4 Early, to j
Co-operate. .
A meeting of the board of directors,'
of the Molino Fair, association was
held in the office of the county . agri
cultural demonstration agent last
night to take preliminary steps - for
this year's fair. The dates for the;
fair were set for November 12-14, and
it was decided to offer more generous
premiums than , last year, and to take
every possible step to stir the interest
of the farmers and stock raisers and
their families early In the season to
make their plans for a big success at
the 1919 fair.
It will be remembered by nearly
everybody how great a success Escara-
bla county made last year at the
Molino, the Jacksonville and the Mari
ana fairs, since it was so thoroughly,
exploited at the time in the Journal ;i
and the directors determined to pull'
this year for an even bigger success,
and the taking of first place at-the
State Fair for this county. . t
Commissioner Hardy, chairman of?
the board of directors. Secretary Hall.:
Directors E. Kaselack, W. N. Williams;
and E. T. Russell, and County Farm'
Demonstration Agent Carl Burnett.,
Home Demonstration Agent Miss Myr
tle Floyd and Special County Agent
Smith were in attendance. The coun
ty agents were elected associate mem
bers of the board of directors, and
L. W. Hardy was elected manager of
the fair.
The responsibility of carrying on the
necessary propaganda among pros
pective exhibitors to secure demon
stration agents. It was decided Jto make
financial plans , at :.theuiext meeting. .
based "on the now popular principle
of a drive. Messrs. Hardy and Bur
nett "and Miss Floyd were named as
a committee on premiums, and in
structed to draw up the final list of
premiums for this year as soon as
possible, so that the. intending ex
hibitors might. have it in mind early,
in tho growing season.
. The decision was reached to makej
substantial improvements in the fa'r!
grounds, especially ' the spaces re-1
served for the live stock. It was also
decided to have some clean attraction
as a drawing card and the secretary!
was instructed to lookout for such)
an attraction. . There was consider-
able objection to having any other-j
than agricultural attractions, as it was
felt that the proper object of th.
fair is strictly to promote agriculture
in Escambia county, and not to enter
tain the people; but the feeling pre
vailed that the rieht sort of a. kIA
attraction might increase the revenue
ana thus provide the - means : for a
larger and better fair in 1920.
The directors feel that thev an n,
gaged in a public enternrise for th'
general good, and that they are there
