Our Country i Right or Wrong

CIVILIANS WILL BE MOBILIZED
With congress passing the new tax bill
it seems certain that within the next few
months we will see a number of other un-
precedented laws passed. The most important
. of these will be the total mobilization bill...
The draft is depriving industry and agricul-
ture of sorely-needed workers. Also, workers,
attracted by the high wages paid by war in-
dustry, have left the farms in droves and
the agricultural labor situation is extremely
serious as a result. The total mobilization
plan envisions making it impossible for any
man to change his job without permission
from the War Manpower Commission. It
would prevent industries from competing
against each other for workers. It would
force millions of people who are now not
working, or who are employed in "non-essen-
tial" undertakings, to go to work in war
plants and on farms. And it would probably
outlaw enlistments in the armed forces, for
according to some experts the army and navy-
have been accepting recruits who would be
far more valuable to their country in a civil-
ian capacity.
By the end of next year, according to pres-
ent prophecies, about 60,000,000 people will
have to be engaged in the war effort in one
way or another. The latest prediction is that


we will have an armed force of 10,000,000
men. Their needs will be almost insatiable.
So every pair of hands which can do any work
at all will have to be used. And the only way
to obtain maximum utilization; of our man-
power and womanpower is through compul-
sion.
To sum up, our troops are about to see
more action on the war front-and our civil-
ians will see more action on the home front
at the same time.


ADVERTISING GETS RESULTS
Highlands and Hillsborough counties are
using large display advertisements in the
newspapers to call attention to choice prop-
erties on which taxes have not been paid, and
according to reports, investors have been
rushing to buy up certificates on apartment
houses, hotels and other business and residen-
tial properties worth far more than the de-
linquent taxes, on which interest accrues at
the rate of 18 per cent for the first year and
8 per cent thereafter. And that's doggone
good interest.
These advertisements, copies of which
have been sent to Clerk Joe Hunter by the
editor, contain full and complete descriptions
of the properties, not just lot and block num-
bers, which mean little" to most people. And
it is found that the majority of property
owners whose land is advertised come dash-
ing in to pay up the, back taxes and have
their property removed from the advertise-
ment. Cost of collections in these two coun-
ties is about 1 per cent on the dollar.
Gulf county commissioners might profit
from the lesson provided by these two South
Florida counties.


Did you know that if you drive your car a
thousand miles at 65 miles an 'hour, it will
cost you almost five cents a mile, but .
if you drive a thousand miles at 25 per, it will
cost you only two cents a mile. This is just
a reminder.

Dedicate your home to Victory. Make it
a V-Home.

Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds!

And almost another 10 per
cent have gone with other

Yes, sir, you left the ranks
of Florida Power to do a


bigger job and even though
we're a smaller army here,
we'll do our best in the
battle of production.

We'll see that there's
plenty electricity available
at camps and air fields and
for the production of planes
and tanks and guns. And
we'll try to keep it flowing
to Mother, Dad and the folks
back home.

Ours like years is a spe-

the fight where you left off
and when the war is won
and you rejoin us, together
then we'll build a better
