There has been considerable effort made by members of the Legislature | te reduce the compensation of the! county officials, either by reducing the fees or putting them on a salary basis. But it has been impossible to se- cure legislative action, mainly be- cause accurate data could not be ob- | tained as to the compensation re- ceived through fees by the various office holders who would be affected by the reduction, I have been informed that in this county no record has been kept in! the clerk’s office of the fees received and this would be trueun, I suppose, in regard to other offices in this and other counties, That the fees in the clerk’s office make an unreasonably large remu- neration there is no doubt. to do, if IDEAL CANDIDATE | FOR PRESIDENCY.

BLUCHERIWILSON CCandidate for Office off ] : CLERK OF CIRCUIT;COURT OF POLK COUNTY various amounts are received, and the total per annum. 1 will go be- fore the proper committees of the Legislature with this itemized state- ment showing just how much I am | receiving from the people and ask the Legislature to reduce it to a reasonable salary. This would give the friends of reduction something definite on which to work instead of, as at present, working in the dark, and would, I believe, be prompt- ly successful in causing the Legis- lature to fix a reasonable salary for all county officials. One man in office, asking for a re- duction in compensation, can do more | than a thousand who are on the out-| side, and guessing in the dark. | If elected, | promise to use my, bost efforts to secure the necessary reduction, and [ firmly believe | can accomplish it betore my time is h:lll’i out, In an adjoining county, one of-, ticinl has been turning back to the | county all over a fixed amount. That i all right, but it affects only one | 4 cflice, and one man in that office, | and does not affect his suecessors. | My plan would affect not only my- self but my successors and alo prob- ably uch other offices as need a re- duction, I know ttis that in presenting proposition 1 am inviting the bitter |, opposition of a certain class of po-| litical influence. The fight will be not against the proposition but against me person- ally, to keep me from getting in a position to carry it through to suc- cess. Respectfully, L. S. MORROW. April 9, 1912, 4-17-20-24-27. Thoughtful Child. Little Alice was terribly afraid of cats. One day she had been standing on the doorstep for several minutes, looking at a big black tom cat galll- vanting on the fence. Finally she rushed Into the house, looking very excited, and exclaimed: “Muvver, I thought I'd better come in. Dat kitty was just so afraid of me, I felt sorry for it and comed away!"— Woman's Home Companion. ——— et Lost Treasure.

The MAN of Moderate Means May own his own home and be practically independent, the same as the man of more favored circumstances, it is not a question of a large outlay of cash, but the right application of the monthly sum you are now paying out for house rent. Our plan is so simple and the terms so easy that you will wonder why vou never thought of it before as a means of cutting oft that grinding monthly out-go of hard-earned dollars for which you were getting no returns. Here is our pian: We loan you the money with which to build a home or pay off a mortgage at the rate of FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST on the yearly balances. This loan is paid back in easy monthly installments, just as you now are paying rent. On a THOUSAND DOLLAR loan the payments, if equat- ed, would equal $10.48 per month. This amount covering payment on both principal and interest. This loan may also be paid in full or in part at any time, thus stopping further interest. ! By t!\is plan you are able to build a home after your own ideas; live in it; improve it and enjoy all the pleasures of owning your own home, and pay for it just as you now are paying rent—only, When the pay period is ended—the home is yours, without a string tied to it. Honestly now, isn’t that more sensible than paying rent? If you are interested, we would be glad to have you call, when we will go over your proposition thoroughly. We can help you. That’s sure. It's up to you. HOME OFTICE, THIRD FLOOR, CURRY BUILDING. ———PHONE 982 —u. R - 8o FLORIDA
