APPOINTMENTS
LOCAL CONGRESSMAN IS ON IN
DUSTRIAL ARTS AND PEN
SIONS COMMITTEE, BUT IS NOT
SATISFIED. .
BY GEORGE H. MANNING.
Washington. D. C, May 29- Con
gressman J. H. Smithwick, of Pensa
cola, has been placed on the commit
tee on Industrial arts and expositions
and the pensions committee.
These two committees while not of
the highest Importance, are neverthe
less rather Important and desirable.
Most members, too, only get one com
mittee assignment. The fact that nnm--erous
industrial and ar( exhibitions
are planned by the government makes
this committee of more than the usual
importance.
These committee assignments are
not by any meansj however, what Mr.
Smithwick would have had if he had
been able to take his choice.
Congressman Smithwick made his
bow In congress at a particularly un
fortunate time for obtaining- desirable
committee places. In the last con
gress the democrats had a majority
membership of thirteen on all the
committees. Thfs Is being reduced to
a minority membership of eight In
this congress. Consequently flvo
members have to be taken ofJLall
the committees, and these fivr on
account of the seniority rule have
the call for committee places over
newly elected members This forces
.the new members to take what is left,
and there is very, little remaining
after the old members have had their
choice.

discrimination in favor of Eastern over

western soldiers and of imfalrjieEs in
the dealings of the war department
with western men are contained In a
mailed today by Governor Carey,, to

SUPPLEMENTARY
ROADS BILLS
PASS SENATE
By HERBERT FELKEL
Tallahassee, May 29. Two road bills by
Senator Russell, were passed by the sen
ate one of which clarifies the present
law as to the giving of state aid by the
road' department' to - special road end
bridge districts, while the other validates
all contracts now existing for state aid to
special road and bridge districts, Senator
MacWilliams stated that the law at pres
ent provides for aid. to counties but laaks
any provision as to the state money for
highways in special road and bridge dis
tricts. The measures are curative In
their purpose, are endorsed by the state
road department and were prepared at
the suggestion of an eminent bond at
torney of New York city who passes on
most of the county, district and munici
pal bond issues of Florida and other
states.
Another Road Act.
The senate also passed the Igou bill
amending the present automobile tax law
so as to exempt from license the oars of
tourists who have paid a tax for the year
in another state, provided such other
state grants the same privilege to Florl
dians sojourning within their borders
during certain months of the year. Sen
ator Carlton favored the bill, declaring
the to'urist crop the most valuable Flori
da has, and it was not fair for a man
wno has paid a license tax on his car In
another state to have to pay It again here
for two or three "months. When Sen
ator Singletary declared that ne had to
buy a new license for his car when he
went to other states, the reciprocity fea
ture of the Igou bill was pointed out.
A bill by Senator Carlton to . provide
for the cancellation and satisfaction of
mortgage Hens. judgments and decrees,
and providing a penalty for failure to
make such cancellation and satisfaction,
was also passed by the senate today on
third reading, as was a measure by
Senator King to providel a uniform meth
od : of municipal acounting and for exl
amination into financial operation of mu
nicipalltes, provding penalties for viola
tion and repealing Chapter 6817 laws of
Florida, approved June 5, 1916, on the
same subject.
If Senator Hughlett and Representative
Watson cannot agree on the proposed
amendments to the bill amending the act
of 1917 creating the Southern Drainage
district. Senator MacWilliams will intro
duce a bill to repeal the act and abolish
the district, which measure Tie already
has prepared and has on his desk re3dy
for introduction "as soon as It Is deter
mined definitely that Dade county's sen
ator and representative are unable to
agree. Hope Is still held out however,
that some amicable arrangement may
be made of the dlferences of opinion in
this matter and the bill finally passed.
The measure is now on the senate calen
dar, having passed the house. The sim
ilar measure relating to the Napoleon B.
Broward "Drainage district has passed
both house and all the amendments, with
the exception Of a few minor ones. Agreed

B YHERBERT FELKEL.
Tallahassee, May 29, Afte ran un
successful effort to indefinitely post
pone it following the adoption of all
the committee amendments, the Roe
buck' house bill providing for full
measure and proper standard in the
sale of gasoline, went to the senate
committee on engrossed bills havm?
been read a second time. One amend
ment reduces the, number of Inspectors
from four to three and provides that
one shall reside in Pensacola, one in
Jacksonville and the third in Tampa.
The bill will. become "effective ninety
days after its approval. The amend
ments were recommended by senate
judiciary B committee. The motion
to indefinitely postpone the measure
was made by Senator Wilsoq, who
did not want to create any more jobs
and thus increase the number of in
spectors living off the-public. Sena
tor Carlton, favored the bill, declaring
that, if the state was being Imposed
upon by 5 anybody it was the dealers
in gasoline.
Senator Singletary said the bill
provided . for an analysis to be made
at any time a customer was doubt
ful of "the-purity -of the gas sold. If
Florida continued without such a law
it would be a dumping ground for
poor gasoline which would be refused
by other states having such statutes,
he declared. Senator Cartlon said
the bill should not be classed with
those creating new state jobs because
the tax would take care of the in -spectors'
salaries and the department
would thus carry its own weight. But
Senator Wilson replied that the pur
ple would eventually have it to pay
because the tax would be added to
the cost of the gasoline. He thought
Florida already had enough traveling
inspectors. -
