By the, end of this month all of us should know about what taxes, we will have to pay during fie next two years to finance the functions of our state government. The legislature which convenes next Tuesday probably won't let many days go by without giving indications of revenue sources likely to be tapped to offset a $3,500,000 loss that resulted from suspension of horse racing. Governor Holland states that much of that will have to be re- placed, because it was used for old age pensions and to help counties with local government. He sayb the money should come from new revenue sources and not from any changes upward in present tax levies, but he hasn't announced what recommendations he will make. , Legislators are talking about many sources in their informal discussions during the few days before opening of the session.

Prices are based on mark-ups from the following "country ship- per prices": Cabbage, $5.85 per hunderdweight (5.85 cents per pound); snap beans $5.75 per bushel (20.5 cents per pound.) and peas, $4 per bushel (14.2 cents per pound). In the case of retailers, the max- imum mark-up for cabbage is 50 per cent, and for snap beans and peas 39 per cent. ALL-STAR BAND TO PLAY AT PORT WEDNESDAY All Streams To Remain Open Through Efforts of E. Clay Lewis; Wimico and Dead Lakes Banned To Fishing Good news to fishing enthusiasts of Gulf county-and that includes practically the entire population, both white and colored-is re- leased this week by E. Clay Lewis J., legislative representative from thia county. Representative Lewis informed the editor of The Star last Friday night that he had finally persuaded the state fish andl game commis- sion to do away with the two- month closed season on fresh wa- ter fishing in Gulf county, since it was unfair to the, .people here, as the remainder of the state has, no closed season. Naturally, this does not allow the taking of bass, since the season on these game fish is closed all over the state, from March 15 to May 19. Excepted from 'lifting of the ban are the Dead Lakes and ake Wimico, which are the principal spawning grounds for bream and shellcrackers. However, fishing is permitted within one-half mile of the mouth of all streams emptyThg into these bodies of water, with the exception of the Chipola river, which -is closed q .Jl n~p with the Dead Lakes. This means that all rivers, canals, creeks and bayous in the county-with the exceptions, noted above-are open to fishermen who desire to augment their meat ra- (Continued on Page 2) Old Time Box Supper Tonight Funds Raised Will Be Used For Benefit of Band and Furnish- ing Ward At Hospital Members of the Kiwanis and Pilot clubs have been busy all this week selling tickets to an old-time box supper to be held at 8 o'clock this evening in the Centennial au- diitorium.

To Port St. Joe now come welcome visitors from the army camps at Tyndall Field, Carra- belle and Apalachicola, not to mention our own boys furloughed home from the training camps-often for their final visit before de- parting for service on distant battlefields. The number of such visitors will increase as the months move on. They give us a chance to,see, what they, after their months of services, are like. Our verdict has long been clear. They come back straight and strong, proving the diligence of their training for the work in hand. Our men home on furlough give good account of themselves. But what do these visitors to the home front tell their comrades when they return to the fighting ranks? There is something that might give us cause for worry. They re- port to us that the work of training and fight- ing goes on well. The men in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps are giving all they have. Theirs is the hard and dangerous task. That task is being done-well done. Will they be able to report to their comrades as favorably of us who form the home front? What- will their comrades in arms think' when they hear of us moaning over not hav- ing enough gasoline to go fishing whenever we feel the desire? What will they think of our whining over coffee? What will these men who face the bullets think of those who grumble over taxes and food rationing? There's food for thought, you people on the home front in Port St. Joe. It's up to us to show these visitors that we're endeavoring to do our part while they risk their lives that we may continue to be a free people. It behooves us to pitch in, quit grumbling and be on our good behavior, not "outwardly 'alone, but deep in our hearts. yEAH-WE WONDER? Wonder what happened to all that talk we heard some time back about drafting labor and capital if another war popped up? Seems to us that laborers were to receive the same pay as the men in the service and were to be furnished board and room and clothing, just like the soldiers and sailors. And capital was to be drafted to turn out the tools of war and receive about two per cent return on the investment. Yeah-we've often wondered in the past year or two. Doc Norton told one of his patients the other day: "Your chances are fair, but if I were you I wouldn't start any continued stories." Some women get married just to have a man around the house to fuss at. Looks like horse steaks are going .to be mistakes as far as most people are concerned. In these days of meat shortage, what every fiamfly needs is a magician to pull rabbits out of a hat.-Titusville Star-Advocate. ACROSS THE TRACKS Every few weeks we read an interview with former President Hoover, published in the daily press, in which he states "the food situation is grave" or "serious." He probably didn't know it, but back in 1931 and 1932 the food situation, for a great number of Americans, was really serious. Of course this did not affect Mr. Hoover or his friends, but now that we have rationing and he cannot have his two chickens in his pot, the situation is "grave" or "serious." We appreciate the fact that we are faced with a food shortage and we must do without many things we are accustomed to eat, but we will venture to say that when the ration- ing of food reaches its limit, just before or just after the war is finished, we will all be eating better than one-third of the nation was eating in 1932. When we hear people grumble because they can no longer eat a two-pound steak at a meal, we smile with great satisfaction be- cause they are learning how the fellow across the tracks felt when he couldn't get one pound of stew meat for his family of six. We know it hurts them not to be able to get and eat more than is good for them, and we also know that most of Hoover's friends still get -their big steaks and everything that goes with them, but they must patronize the black market to do it, and they may even get caught at it, which would be much worse than having to go on WPA as far as self- respect is concerned. Yes, it is a "serious" and "grave" situation when the common laborer across the tracks can buy just as much meat, coffee or other food as the politician who fives on the bounty that labor and capital produce. But it is only serious to the politician, and it does him good to find that food is only important when you can't get it.-Highlands County News. THIS AWFUL PROSPERITY. Prosperity is. threatening the very exist- ence of bureaucracy and it is a nightmare of national adversity. Witness the case of John H. Fahey, fed- eral home loan bank commissioner, who is so frightened at the prospect of people get- ting out of debt, in which case they no longer will need his HOLC, that he wants something done about it. Banks are taking ovve' too many of the good HOLC loans to suit Mr. Fahey. These are loans on private homes. This brings up the history of HOLC. It was created by congress early in the depres- sion as an emergency measure, with 'the ex- press provision that it be liquidated "when its purposes have been accomplished." With indebtedness now discouraged as a national policy, and at a minimum because of universal employment and the shortage ol consumer goods to purchase on credit, and l with HOLC admitting excessively high oper- ating cost, Mr. Fahey's remarks take on , added significance. The question boils down to one of finding a formula under which a federal emergency agency can be dislodged, once it becomes en- trenched. If John Fahey of HOLC and Au- brey Williams of NYA can find arguments to I keep their large office forces and high over- I head going, how can we ever expect to dis- I pose of an emergency9' agency?-Janesville (Wis.)

FLORIDA WILL HAVE TO RAISE MORE REVENUE (Continued from page 1)_ han $10,000,000, including gasoline axes, but the pleasure driving ban hat killed horse racing was the tiffest blow. Old age pensioners got $2.000,000 of the race track getting taxes audl the counties got 1,500,000. It is pointed, out by ome legislators that a small sav- ng can be made by doing away with the state racing commission or the duration now that racing as been killed. There are advance Indications of lot of revenue bills being intro- uced within the first week of the legislative session. All these will o to the finance and, taxation committees. Some new source will have to be tapped if old. age assistance is not to be reduc'di, because the $2,000,- 000 obtained from racing taxes in the 1941-42 season will Ibe ex- pended by June 1, and there was no horse racing in the winter just passed. The so-called "seventh cent" tax an each gallon of gasoline, origin- ally levied in 1931 as a two-year emergency measure (and -which has been with us as an "emer- gency" ever since), undoubtedly will be re-enacted-and possibly boosted another cent. Its revenue is divided between the general revenue fund and the public school system. The revenue from six cents of the gasoline tax goes to the state road department and retirement of county and district road bonds by the ,state board of administration. The heavy- decrease In gasoline consumption hasn't seriously af- fected these departments because there has been little .material available for road construction with state funds, and the board of administration had enough surplus to. carry on its operations for some time without any de-faults in pay- ing bond maturities.

What it means to some people is well illustrated by the follow- ing: The editor went to the colored quarters Saturday to get a pint of fishing worms. WVhen he informed the old colored woman from whom he purchased the bait that there would not be a closed season on bream fishing, she said, "Pralse de Lawd, now us poor folks'es kin git fish when we can't git no meat." Today "poor folkses" are rather hard to find, but with meat getting scarcer and scarcer a lot of us will be glad that we can go out and' catch a mess of fish to aug- ment the, meat that we aren't go- ing to get.

This is the paramount thing. All others follow after. He must obtain a slaughter per- mit from' the county war board, and, to qualify for a permit, he must be operating under federal, state, county or city inspection, om must certify that he has adequate sanitary and other facilities for slaughtering. He must furnish to the boaru information about his 1941 slaugh- ter; if unable to do this, he may either accept a quota for 1943 of 300 pounds of meat to be sold, or sell the meat from three animals. including not moire than one head of cattle. Each farm slaughterer is re- -unired to collect ration points; he must report 'all meat sold or trans- fzrred by him; he must abide by 1irice ceilings and. must grade beef, veal, lamb and mutton according toi standards of the U. S. Depart- iment of Agriculture. 'ARABIAN NIGHTS' IS FASCINATING FILM Hollywood magic reaches lofty new heights in "Arabian Nights," in Technicolor, playing Sunday and Monday ait the Port theatre. The, story, dealing with the ro- mantic adventures of Sherazade, exotic dancer of Bagdad, moves swiftly against a vivid Oriental background. It is a gleaming pan- orama of desert warfare and slave conquest, the plot highlighting the rivalry of two princely broth- -'s, Leif Erikson and Jon Hall, over the affection of the dancer, played by Maria Montez. A multitude of Hollywood's most beautiful girls are used in the lav- ish harem and slave market scenes and others are used for spectacular dancing scenes. Others in the cast include Saibu, Billy Gilbert and' Edgar Barrier. HOME-MADE BROODER EASILY CONSTRUCTED A simple brooder which will ac- commodate from 50 to 75 chicks until tney are five, or six weeks old can be constructed by any per- son wanting to raise poultry on a small scale, and apparently there are a lot of people in Port St. Joe who are doing that, judging by the number of chicles being sold by tl' St. Joe Hardware company. Complete plans with illustra- tions may be had by writing to the Agricultural Extension Serv- ice, Gainesville, Fla., for Circular 64. KENNEY IS NAMED TO HEAD FORESTRY BOARD Basil E.

NOTICE TO' SUBSCRIBERS AND PROSPECTIVE SUBSCRIBERS 'The War Production Board recently ordered a 10 per cent cut in newsprint for the larger papers, and it is expected that another cut will be ordered about April 1. The or- der did not affect The Star, but WPB did ask this: "The publishers of small newspapers are expected vol- untarily to make every possible economy in the use of newsprint." So, in compliance with this request, The Star is discon- tinuing all subscriptions that are not paid in advance and is limiting the number of subscribers that will be carried for the duration. We are in position to accept approximately 100 new subscriptions, and when that quota'is filled a waiting list will be set up and as present subscribers discontinue their paper those at the top of this list will become eligible as subscribers. It is cur desire to keep every subscriber on our mailing list, buit it is obvious that we cannot continue to mail The Star to those who do not pay up their subscription at expiration. We will give our old subscribers every possible consideration, but we must also give considera- tion to, those who have never been subscribers to The; Star and wish to subscribe now. It is contrary to the natural instincts of a publisher to turn away circulation, but this we will be forced to do when the quota we have set has been filled. IF YOU ARE NOT NOW STAR, BUT HAVE BEEN ON THE MAILING LIST, SO TODAY-TOMORROW A SUBSCRIBER TO THE CONSIDERING GETTING YOU HAD BETTER DO MAY BE TOO LATE! IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS EXPIRED, AND HAVE BEEN PUTTING OFF PAYING IT, YOU HAD BETTER AT- TEND TO IT TODAY-TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE, AS YOUR NAME MAY BE REMOVED FROM OUR MAILING LIST.
