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."

Our Country H Right or Wrong

WHY ARE POTATO PRICES UP?
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.

Kiwanis News


At the April meeting of the
board of directors of the Port St.
Joe Kiwanis club, a resolution
was adopted in pro-test to Gover-
nor Holland's recent suggestion to
the legislature that county tax
mil-lage he lowered. 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.

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.
