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.

'Hitler's Children'

Is Sensational Film

Powerful Drama Playing at Port
Theater Three Days Is Based
On "Education for Death"

Presenting a vivid picture of
what a Hitler victory would mean
to an enslaved world, "Hitler's
Children," playing next Wednes-
dlay and Thursday at the Port 'the-
ater, is a daring, highly dramatic
and thought-provoking expose, the
basis of which is an epic love
story, menaced by official frus-
tration and climaxed, with a double,
tragic sacrifice.
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

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."

OUR LEGISLATURE CONVENES
The twenty-ninth session of the Florida
legislature opened Tuesday faced with as
grave and critical problems as ever confronted
the state's lawmakers, and with opportunities
for constructive statesmanship as great as
are the problems.
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.

We hear that the mental requirements for
induction have been lowered. One inductee
said that the test now takes two doctors. One
looks in one .ear, and one in the other ear. It
they can't see each other, you're in.-Jasper

SOLLUM, EGYPT-Two-gallon cans of water, for a thirsty British
5th Army churning its way through the desert, are unloaded from a
tank landing craft here. If an army cannot fight without food, it
can fight even less without water. Containers such as these, trans-
ported by the Royal Navy, kept General Montgomery supplied
throughout his Libyan offensive.
