Sitting In With the Lawmakers By RUSSELL KAY (Florida Press Association) Forsaking every election prom- ise that had to do with "economy" lawmakers staged a complete and unconditional surrender to the tax-spenders last week. All hope 'the humble taxpayers might have had that governmental operating costs would be curtailed were L blasted when the senate upped a appropriations several millions e above the figure called for in the . budget committee's report. The three weeks' effort of the appropriations committee, to re- move from the body politic the d growing cancer of bureaucratic expenditures, or at least retard its l process, went for naught. Its rec- ommendations, which would have i trimmed a million or so from oper- ating expense of the state's in- numerable boards, bureaus, com- missions and departments, brought a storm of protest as tax-spending officials and bureau chiefs ap- peared at the hearing with tears running down their cheeks and cries of anguish that would have touched the heart of a wooden In- dian. The committee might have saved a lot of time and effort if it had simply added 5 or 10 per cent to the budget recommendations and offered that as a substitute for the senate appropriations bill. However, their empty gesture of suggested cuts gave the boys on the floor a chance to do their stuff and, later on they can remind this or that bureau chief how they. saved, his skin and ask a little fa- vor like a job for Uncle Willie or a contract for Cousin John. All of which is necessary, regular and according to Hoyle. Ignoring every other proposed' revenue measure, a joint house and senate finance and taxation committee set wheels in motion last week to force through the gov- v ernIor's three-cent tax on cigarets. v With 36 signers on the bill t- s start with, whipping bosses storm- ed through legislative halls like k' Roman gladiators. Horse trading in reached its height by the end of s the week. A courtesy hearing was c staged 'Thursday afternoon to give p those opposing the measure a ii chance to be heard, tbut Chairman s Leedy .of the house committee an- c nounced at the start of the hear- ing that no matter what anybody c: might say or dlo the bill would be c; recommended favorably and, yhat s is more, passed over as many dead d bodies as might be necessary. A packed senate chamber listened B for an hour and 15 minutes while former Senator Pat Whitaker of Tampa gave a masterful prese.ita- tion of why the bill should not V pass. The measure reached the ti floor of the house Monday, where ni .a battle royal was staged but in ha vain, for the measure passed by h a vote of 65 to 27 and was sent it on to, the senate.

The better brains of the country have been drawn into the war- administration. Politics has to be forgotten when a burglar has a guit at your head. Domestic problems have been largely sidetracked in the public nind, as they have seemed superficial compared with the war. Bureaucracy has runi wild-in Washington. The simplest acts in family life have been made complicated issues. One has but to read the requirements for cutting up a beef in or- der to comply with price ceilings, to see how confused a local butcher must be. A farcical article on this angle from the Springfield (Mo.) Leader-Press is given below: "I am Mr. Brown, the agricultural expert for this division. Here are my credentials." "Ah, yes, Mr. Brown. Harvard man, I see. Splendid. Now which department do you-" "I think I would prefer the publicity angle. I have some new ideas I should like to g've the farmers. Take, for example, our most de- licious berries, the potato and the onion. I think, we should plant the trees closer and prune the branches in the spring just after the molting season. That would give us more branches to produce more burrs. This same plan would help the peanut tree. "However, my chief interest is bovines ot cows. It has been our practice to produce numbers of useless male cows, and this must be discouraged. Such as are produced should be butchered and made into sausage and hanm to relieve the pork and mutton shortage. "We have also followed the wasteful prac- tice of feedin-' our young female cows a year or more before breaking them to give milk. I think these fillies should be trained to pro- duce milk within six or eight weeks after hatching. "The whole dairy business needs efficient reorganization. We must teach our dairymen to specialize. The cows in one region should give nothing but milk, those in another noth- ing but cream, those in a third nothing but butter, and those in a fourth section nothing but cheese. Iti will not be necessary to special- ize in buttermilk, for we can use ordinary milk and add the butter at a processing plant. "We have been very wasteful. No doubt you have read about the breakage of milk bottles. This can be corrected by using larger containers with rubber cushions around the top. We should not blame the cows, for it must be very difficult to sit on these bottles. "Cows are nervous animals, easily dis- turbed by noise. I think we should disconnect or plug up the horns they use in making that mooing sound, and- " "Yes, yes, Mr. Brown. That is splendid. But excuse me a moment. I need a little air." And from some of the stuff that comes to the editor's desk that isn't as fantastic as it sounds. With a lot of people in government bureaus sending out rules on this and that about which they know apparently nothing, running a dairy, a grocery or merchandise store has become a problem so complicated that many stores are going ou" of business. Instead of receiving a helping hand from government bureaus, everyone is threatened with a $10,000 fine or ten years in jail, or both, as the penalty for every failure to com- ply. The people of Port St. Joe and Gulf county are heart and soul for winning the war on the battlefront. Boys from almost every fam- ily in the county are there. We are proud 61 the results they are accomplishing. Our peo- ple are also heart and soul for winning the production and distribution problems on the home front to back up our whole war effort. But we should get our eyes opened to the waste and confusion and politics-as-usual on the home front. The situation has become fantastic, and it is high time that thousands of bureaucrats who never raised a chicken, a hog, or a cow, and who never produced an article by manual labor, and who never maintained a payroll or sold a yard of goods or a pound of sugar, be replaced by men who know something of the actual problems of production and distri- bution. Let brains.come to the top in domestic ar- fairs as they have in military affairs. THE BRIDE'S COOKERY The season for June bride's is almost here again, which reminds us of the newlywed husband who asked his bride, "Who spilled horseradish on the waffle'?." She asked how he got that idea, as the thing she was serv- ing was lemon pie. This is-, of course, a most unjust caricature on the effort of the charming newlyweds to make a happy home and provide good eats, and we hasten to state that it didn't occur in Port St. Joe, for we know all the local las- sies are studying the cookbook hard, trying to become scientific providers of nutrition. But perhaps in spite of all, the pie some day may have a soggy undercrust, or the beet- steak be burned (if they can get one to burn). Even if so, the boy friend probably never inquired about her domestic science training, in their former times of romantic dates and soulful looks. One reason for disaster following some marriages is that the sweet young thing never had learned to cook. One of the most useful sports for a young lady contemplating marriage is playing with the cookstove. From here and there, we gather that the Grand Old Party is perking up its ears and sniffing a few snuffs preparatory to a rousing snort in 1944. Military men are looking over Schickel- gruber's war record to find out where he made his worst mistake. It was when he quit the house-painting business.-Times-Union. ye^--s - There's quite a difference between the city and the country. In the country the houses are farther apart, but the people are closer together. The boys who were keeping their home towns all stirred up by their antics a few years ago are now making life uncomfortable for the Nazis and Japs. Overheard at the Quality grocery: "Let's get a can of peas AND a can of corn-we aren't going to live forever." The reason most men never reach the top is because they are too comfortable at thi, bottom. When businessmen get together there are about as many views as there are business- men. Our sympathy goes out to the woman who invested her life insurance in another hub- band. Keep smiling-and buy War Bonds! "I used to be afraid the Government would requisition my car. Now I'm afraid they won't." trate fite point perfectly. The young n J man is earning $200 a month now at a job he learned in four days.

Agricola Hurrying along "K" street in Washington a few weeks ago, the cab in which I was riding narrowly escaped an accident. Somebody, ab- sorbed in thought, carelessly stepped off the curb in front of the taxi and the driver veered sharply to the left to avoid striking him. I saw the man. He was tall, dreamy-looking, carried a big package and needed a haircut rather noticeably. Of course, I wondered who he was: maybe a hopeful inventor go- ing to the Patent Office with some contrivance he believed would win the war, or perhaps some learned bureaucrat pondering weighty fig- ures such as fill the pages of the federal budget. Imagine my emo- tion at hearing the driver remon- strate, "Wake up, you dumb farm- er! Dis ain't no corn field." Did He Mean It? The driver meant "lout" but he said "farmer", and set me to won- dering how many people in America think these words mean the same thing. Not all of them, certainly. But all too many are not aware that farming is a real art at which louts do not succeed. Not enough people realize that the farm problem ought to be receiving far more intelligent attention than it is getting. One of America's gravest dangers in the present crisis is a low appraisal of the skill required on American farms. Tha average farmer in the United States is an alert, thinking individ- ual. Even a good farm hand is amazingly versatile. He is obliged to be, in order to do his work. Farm- ing is a calling of many skills. A farmer does not have to be a vet- erinary surgeon but he must know how to breed and feed and care for livestock. A farmer need not be a graduate meteorologist but he has to know something about forecasting the weather if he hopes to succeed. It's a Broad Field There are many kinds of farms and many kinds of farmers but they have a great variety 'of fundamen- tal, scientific knowledge in common, most of it unknown to men of other callings. In, fact, one real farmer can do more on a farm than five equally strong, intelligent men who are not farmers. For this reason I honestly believe that a large per- centage of the farmers now working in factories ought to be sent back home to protect America's armed forces and the civilians, too, against a food shortage of growing serious- ness. The agricultural manpower prob- lem of 1943 cannot be solved by rele- gating miscellaneous industrial mis- fits to the country. If they can't learn factory work there is no place for them on the farm. A neighbor's son, now holding a position of some responsibility in an eastern war-pro- duction plant, visited home recently and told me some things that illus- "Incentive" Wages He is an energetic young fellow but he can't earn $200 a month on his father's farm; couldn't do it if he owned it. That's why he left home when his country could not rightly spare, him from the farm. The food administration would have to pay him quite an "incentive" to put him between plow-handles again, I fear, although'he says the country boys in factory towns are all homesick. The food problem at a glance is this: Farmers can't net anything at today's fixed prices but they can learn. in a week to earn good wages in a factory, so they leave the farms to old men and small boys who will unavoidably produce less this year than they did last, although more is needed. Farmers- in .the armed forces under 38 can't be brought back but those in factories can and ought to be. Somebody else can do their work in the mill but not at home. Worse Than Nothing Farmers have had advice enough. Texas cotton men provide an ex- ample. Lacking gin capacity they needed new machinery and more repair parts than they could get, so they inquired of bureaucracy. Don't miss this: They were told to move their gins south-to-north across the state as the cotton matured, serving more cotton with fewer gins. The expert didn't know a cotton gin was permanent as an ice plant. He was smart as his contemporary who sug- gested rotating shoes on horses to make them wear longer. This country's farm problem has bepn badly muddled, and in part by "experts" who couldn't make a liv- ing on 1,000 acres with two county agents to tell them how. The real need is more farmers on farms. The notion that anybody can farm or do a farmer's thinking is-silly and dan- gerous. In two years it can start our city-bred farm experts walking to the country hunting a real farmer and a square meal.

It is a touchy sub- ject. as full of TNIT as a liano grenade, and to get to. the bottom of it the senate approved a reso lution authorizing the Shands com- mittee to investigate the whot- quesion. Aftermath of the senate's action came when superintendent of Public Instruction Colin English and State Senator Raymond Sher- d'.on engaged in the verbal ex- change of such words as "damn,' "liar" and "rackets" -which re- sulted in fists replacing words. No serious damage resulted other than minor injury to senatorial and cabinet dignity.

JOE, FLORIDA GULF COUNTY HOUSEHOLDS ARE URGED TO SAVE WVAST.E FATS The importance of saving ,wate household fats in order to sal- vag-e their glycerine content apparent to every housewife. Her kitchen can sunnly at least a tablespoon of fat a day -- from meat drip-oings, from rnded tri'-..ings or fat skimmed{ from the soup kettle and no longer :rod for food. If that much wer- retroived in every household and taken to the meet stores which collect the fat for the r-ndererse, the amount st'ved -'oulFd exceed the national 1gol of 200,000,000 pounds for 1943. Why mu-t ,',e qo to this trouble, in r. l-nd w.cvhere more than a billion pounds of fat used to be wasted every verar down the kitchen drain or into th., g r1 be can? Because glycerine is desperately needed o') food the United '.auions war ?.a chine, and because many of- ^-merica' outside sources of fat, and oils have been cut off by the war. Glycerine is indespe'nsible in the manufacture of munitions, be- cause it is the source of both nitroglycerine and dynamite, the first of which provides the explosives for propellants, and the second the means of military demolition. Tnkts, shins and planes. last longer because of paints contp-iininL glycerine. It is used as. en anti-icing fluid for the propellors of 'lanes, The shock absor- bers of jeeps and half-tracks, the recoil mechanisms of big guns and the firing mechani-ms of depth bombs all contain glycerine. Glycerine has an important place on the medical front, too, in both war and peace. It is one of the best known and widely used medical materials. There is scarcely a branch of therapeutics in which glycerine does not play a part. An average of more then three pounds of glycerine per hospital bed. oer year is used in our Ametican hospitals. And an analysis of 15,063 prescriptions made nrior to the .'ar in single American city showed that, with the sole exception of w' ter, glycerine utres the most-used liquid ingred- ient. Even at the outset of tnhe v'sr British authorities rated glycerine as eoual in importance to surgical instruments. Glycerine, is widely used in sulfonamides, burn therapy and surgical treatment.. The War Production Board iq urine all Aiericans everywhere to help save the fat fro-- which this precious liouid is made. The meat dealer from whom you purchas-o food *''ill be glad to pay the prevailing rate for the kitchen facts YOUR household conserves. The pennies will buy War Stamps -- and every pound of waste cooking fats turned in -.ill provide enough glycerine to make a half-pound of dynamite or four 37-mm. anti-aircraft shells, or theirequivalents in other badly-needed materials.
