JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1943 NUMBER 31 Measure Would Levy Three Per Cent Sales Taw Representative Says It Wouli Stabilize Tax Equalization Program T'he old bugaboo of a sales ta: again reared its head Monday a Tallahassee when a measure t levy a 3 per cent general sales tax with a constitutional amendmentn tacked to it, was offered in the house by Rep. Lacy Thomas o Lake county to help finance the schools and' take taxes off real es tate. He said it would "stabilize, the 1941 tax equalization program to the- point that its continued suc- cessful. operation would be as- sured." Governor Holland has. recom- mended, a constitutional amend- ment to eliminate school district taxes, but Thomas wants also to eliminate all but three mills of general county school taxes and substitute two-hirds of the sales tax revenue he estimated at $24,- 000,000 a year. One-third of the sales tax under terms of his bill would go to' old age pensions and other welfare. The other tw4-thirds would be ap- portioned among counties for their public schools, with provision that counties then could levy only three mills of propertyta.xes for capital improvements in .chos~ls,. The, constitgtion a'endatgant' in Thomas' 'plan would (be submitted to the people in the 1944 general election and, if ratified, it would put the sales tax into effect Janu- ary 1, 1945. Without the constitutional am- endment sales, tax revenues could notb be apportioned to the counties, Thomas said A soft drink tax of one cent on each five-cent sale value, was pro- posed by Reps.. Andrews of Union, Peters of Dade and Smith of Jack- son, with the revenue divided equally among the counties to .re- place funds lost when horse racing was suspended. It was estimated it would raise $1,300,000 a year." Bills P] GUADALCANAL-U.S. Marine Corps Photo-Instead of risking m resistance in the Guadalcanal jungles, U. S. Army cannon was brou sore spots.

Residents of Port St. Joe recently have ex- perienced increasing difficulty in obtaining. that all-important food. staple, the potato, and when potatoes are available the price is ri- diculously high, being all out of proportion to other foodstuffs. Supposedly, OPA sets the price on pota- toes in this section according to the following formula: Country shippers are allowed a ceil- ing price of $3.10 per 100 pounds. Price to the-ultimate consumer is then reckoned this way: A shipping charge of 50 cents per 100 pounds is figured in to bring the price to $3.60. The wholesaler is permitted a 21 per cent profit, to raise the figure to $4.25. Large retailers are allowed a 28 per cent profit, so that the price to the consumer should be $5.44 per 100 pounds, or five pounds for 27 or 28 cents. In the case of small independent stores the percentage of profit is higher-33 per cent, bringing the price per 100 pounds to $5.65, or five pounds for 28 or 29 cents. However, prices on potatoes in Port St. Joe vary fro-. five pounds for 40 cents to five pounds for 50 cents-eight to ten cents per pound. We are not saying it is the fault of the re- tailers here that the price of potatoes is so high. We have every confidence in the opera- tors of our local food stores and know that they only figure their legitimate profit. The reason the price is up is because they are be- ing forced to pay a higher price tothe whole- saler or the shipper. Our people here will be forced ,to go on paying these high prices as long as they fail to enter a protest with the Office of Price Administration. If a sufficient number of pro- tests over the but-of-sight prices are lodged with OPA, or the public refuses to purchase potatoes or any other farm commodity at anything but the accredited ceiling price, we are confident that the prices will drop to a reasonable figure. FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER? A letter from members of the 750th Tank Battalion, Company A, at Fort Knox, Ky., to workers who recently struck in a war indus- try, said in part: "We feel deeply hurt to think you would let the'boys overseas down. Just what do you think would happen to this country if the boys overseas would sit down and quit fight- ing, because they just make $50 a month ? We need more fighting equipment. What do you Americans want? More money now and slavery later, or less money and freedom? Just think how some of your sons and brothers over there would feel if they knew how you were selling them out-and that's what you are doing when you stop produc- tion." There's a Bible story of a sell-out for 30' pieces of silver. Read it. If the government decides to ration liquor, we suppose it will use the pint system.-The Miami Post. WHILE THE BOMBERS ROAR Twice within a generation it has been tragically demonstrated that the days of sail- ing ship isolation are gone forever. Wars are no longer bound by mountains, climate nor seas. The last echoes of isolation have been drowned in the roar of the bombers. With recognition of the fact that isolation is an impossibility and that this country can- not shut itself off from future wars no matter where they may occur, it becomes a matter of sheer self-interest to help prevent wars. The surest way to prevent war is by taking a hand in world affairs and stimulating inter- national trade. Only through trade can the prosperous and fruitful world envisaged in the Atlantic Charter be realized. In the United States, the machinery for bringing about expanded trade is already in existence. In the words of Unrder-Secretary of State Sumner Welles: "It consists of the Trade Agreements Act of 1934, renewed in 1937 and 1940, under which the president is authorized, by procedure and within the limits stated in the act, to enter into agree- ments about tariff rates, quotas and the like with foreign governments, and to proclaim the changes in American rates necessary to carry out our part of the agreements." The act must be renewed in June or we will have in effect served notice on the world that we expect to take no part in efforts to establish lasting peace; that as far as we are concerned, peace objectives are words-noth- ing more. After victory, if we follow the path of isolation, we can retire to raise another crop of youngsters in time for World War III. Along with our imagined isolation, we will have depression and bankruptcy. Oui great productive capacity will avail us little without world-wide channels of distribution. And industries which don't produce, don't supply jobs or taxes. The wreckage of our tanks, planes and ships will be scattered in every corner of the world. Our men will be there, too, those who didn't come back. We will be "safely" at home with a war debt of several hundred billion dollars, minding our own business until the next war comes aolng. Is this what. Americans expect of the tu- ture? They will get it unless they make up their minds once and for all to swim wit-i the rest of the world toward peace and sanity. At best it will be a long pull, but there is no better way to begin while the bombers' roar is still in our ears, than by wholeheartedly urging renewal of the Trade Agreements Act. When the war is won, and with the Trade Agreements Act in force, South America will be one of the United States' biggest cus- tomers and those ports along the Gulf in Florida, which is the closest state to this huge post-war market, 'that start making plans now to get their share of this trate will grow and expand beyond their wildest -expectations. Port St. Joe is one of the most strategically located ports in the -nation for this future trade development, having a magnificent har- bor and terminal facilities and direct rail connections with all parts of the nation, not to mention our inland waterway transporta- tion facilities giving us cheap water rates to the markets of the Middle West. Are we going to sit back on our hunkers, content to go on as we are today, or are we going to begin right now to make the proper contacts that will bring to the attention of the nation our potential possibilities? That, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen of Port St. Joe, is entirely up to you. Our wife has a problem on her hands. She has about twenty hens that have hea-rd about rationing and priorities, and they now are re- fusing to lay any eggs unless the empty shells are returned. It used to be that we were invited out quite often to dinner, but since this rationing business started nobody ever asks us to come to their house and eat any more.

It was pointed out that the millage directly af- fects our schools and its erasure would seriously reduce funds, add- ing further problems to the al- readly sorely taxed administration of our school system. The c cunty-wid.e high school es- say contest was officially closed Tuesday and. Kiwanians are grati-, fied at the -response from the stu- dents. Their subject was "My Fu- ture." Rev. Billy, Daniel already has his committee, of judges at work on the ess-,ys and they all agree that the spirit and personal- ities which the papers reveal-are something for which our county can be justly proud. Jake White has something up his sleeve for our committee on agriculture to work on. J'ake hasn't completed' plans for the project yet, lbut we believe it's just a lot of "bull." Kiwanians contributed gener- ously in the April War Bond drive and additional bonds were pui chased at club meetings to the tune of $1,375. The membership of the Kiwanis club deplores the recent death ot Mrs. Strickland, daughter of our beloved member, Alphabet Cartel, and sister of Mrs. J. R. Norton. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to them. Guest at the April 29 meeting was Lieut. 'S. R. Stone, U;SA, son of Honorary Member "Uncle High" Stone. Kiwanis is proud to have members of the armed forces with us, andi a standing invitation is extended. Other recent military guests were Capt. Ben Dickens Jr.. and Lieut. Henry G. Hughes. ---- BILLS AGAINST PROSTITUTION !BECOME LAW (Continued from page 1) has been convicted of violating prostitution laws.

Start Early To Feed Chicks Baby chicks are ready for feed and water as soon as they have fluffed out. At one time it was thought best to dNlay feeding the chicks until they were -from 48 to 72 hours old., but recent investi- gations have shown that early feeding is not harmful. A good mash feed is best for chicks for the first two or three weeks. About 10 per cent of the coun- try's 36,000 auto dealers went out of business during 1942. MRS. M. STRICKLAND IS CALLED BY DEATH (Continued From Page 1) Parker, Dr. Thos. Meriwether, W. C. Taunton and Tom Alsobrook.
