THE STAR The Home Newspaper of Northwest Florida's Future Industrial Center "THEY GIVE THEIR LIVES-YOU LEND YOUR MONEY" Buy More War Bonds Today VOLUME VI PORT ST. JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1943 NUMBER 27 O p p position T o illlllllllllllllllllllililllllllllllllllllllillll New Taxes Arises In Legislature Economy Promised As 29th Ses. sion of State's Legislative Body Gets Under Way The 29th session of the Florida legislature got under way .at noo: Tuesday in Tallahassee for the regular sixty-day session, wit] sharply divided opinion evident on whether there should be new taxes to replace losses caused' by the war in regular revenues. Governor Holland's 'statement o last week that $3,500,000 would( rave to be provided from new sources to, offset losses that re sulted when horse racing was sus ended drew evidences of opposi tion from senators and represent tatives.' 'Bills to abolish various state agencies, including the industrial commission, the hotel commission the racing commission and others have been prepared by legislators . for introduction and probably will be presented today. Along with these, the members have for presentation scores of bills to levy various taxes, to re- peal existing taxes, and to divert money from the state road depart- ment to other functions for the duration of the war. The road da- ipartment gets four cents of the state's seven-cents-a-gallon gaso- ines tax. At pre-session formal caucuses representatives officially made R. 'H, Sim'pson of iMonticello speaker of the house and senators named Philip D. Beall of Pensacola their -president. Bthli had been nomi- nated last year. Beall and Simpson have. prom- ised economy in the legislature's own money spending, and, Gover- nor Holland and ,state officials have reported 'they already have practiced economy in spending money 'appropriated by the 1941 legislature.

The unusual film is based on the sensational best-seller, "Education for Death," fby Gregor Ziemer who saw the insidious growth of Nazi teachings among Germany's young ,people and came to America to tell what he saw. Bringing as it does the first au- thentic revelations of Nazi teach- ing to the screen, the picture shows those teachings for what they are, an inhuman program for enslaving the rest of 'the world under a Ger-' man yoke, for ruthlessly. breeding legions of illegitimate babies, for killing off all who do not fit into the Nazi scheme of -things. In order that workers at the pa- per .mill may have a chance to see this picture, Manager Ben Rivers announces that the theater will be opened at 1 p. m. Wednesday only. American People Face Acid .Test in Treasury's 2nd War Loan To Raise 13 Billion Dollars in Three Weeks The Nation Dare Not Fail in This Greatest Financing Task in History-"They Give Their Lives- You Lend Your Money." Washington, D. C.-Coming as it does upon the heels of income tax payments, the people of America will face an acid test this month when the Treasury's Second War Loan drive opens April 12 with an objective of thirteen billion dol- lars to be raised through sale of Government securities. A substantial part of this huge financing, the most stu- pendous ever undertaken by any government in the world's history, must be loaned by people in ordinary walks of life. High Government officials have pointed out that the nation must not fail in this duty to our men on the battle fronts who are now carrying the offensive to the enemy at every Stage. It is obvious to every thinking an and woman that as the United Nations take this offensive against the dictators, the cost of war opera- tions increases in proportion. The American people must no longer think of war costs in terms of equipping a soldier, building a tank or plane or a ship. We must now think in terms' of the cost of bat- tles, invasions and new offensives. Attacking armies cost more money, than equipping that army and we must meet that increased cost by buying more War Bonds and Second War Loan Secprities. They Give Their Lives. It is not only necessary that the American people left here at home assume this additional participation in the war effort-it is an honor to do so for we here at home can do no less than attempt to approach the sacrifices of our brave men out on the fighting fronts to whom the last great measure of sacrifice is but a daily offering. They give their lives we are asked only to lend our money. And that is the theme of the Sec- ond War Loan, "They Give Their Lives-You Lend Your Money." Financial experts who know mone- tary conditions in the nation point out that at the present time there is in liquid funds, cash and commer- cial bank deposits over and above taxes and present investment in Government Bonds, and over and ADEQUATE SUGAR TO BE AVAILABLE FOR CANNING Housewives will (be able to ob- tain adequate amounts of sugar for canning fruit 'this year, Basil E.

Our Country Right or Wrong LOCAL NAZI ALLIES It saddens us to think that there are people in Port St. Joe-men or youths-who would stoop so low as to steal money contributed by loyal citizens to the Red Cross. Money that was to be used in caring for our men o4 the fighting fronts-perhaps the very fathers or brothers of those who took it.. But such is the case, and we cannot escape the fact that we have real or potential allies of Japanizism here, for the other night somit person or persons broke into the Port theater and emptied a gallon jug of approximately $90 that had been collected by the theater for the Red Cross War Fund. Ordinarily your editor would not devote an editorial to a robbery, no matter how large it was, but when the matter involves funds of one of the greatest charitable and humane institutio6is of our nation our blood boils. Thinking or unthinking, those who broke -into the Port theater and stole this money have made themsc4ves allies of Hitler, Hiro- hito and 'Mussolini. Doc Norton has planted a Victory Garden and in it he has some beans. The other day he noticed that all the beans coming up were attached,.to the small shoot. He was terribly upset anid went to a neighbor and told him about the beans coming out of the ground. "It's just like I told you," the neighbor ad- monished. "You should stick to doctorin'. You don't know a dern thing about gardening. You planted the beans upside down."

One of the biggest problems is the replac- ing of lost revenue caused by the war. We sincerely hope that our legislators, instead of looking around for new tax sources will con- centrate more on reducing present expendi- tures--many of them needless. Let them ap- ply the pruning knife vigorously to non-es- sential state functions and overhead, for ir there ever has been a time in the history oz our state when strict economy should be put into effect, this is the time. Let us hope that our legislators will prove their statesmanship equal to these greater re- sponsibilities by not following the line of least resistance and further depleting the al- ready overtaxed pocketbooks of their con- stituents. One of the leaders of the coal miners union remarked the other day, in regard to the two- dollar-a-day increase demanded in wages, that if it was not allowed, the mining of coal would stop regardless of consequences. Seems like a pretty broad statement. Supposing the men on the battle front in North Africa should say, "Unless we get a ten-dollar-a-month increase in wages, we will quit fighting the first of April." Supposing the army nurses should strike for a like increase and go off work with the cots full of men needing at- tention. What would we think of that? What, if any, is the difference between -the two?-- Punta Gorda Herald. The government has approved a service flag to be hung in the window of homes hav- ing one or more men in the service. Why not a flag to be hung in the windows of the husbands whose womenfolks have gone to war? We suggest a dishpan rampant for the design.
