(Women. in essential war indus- try must have release from their employer or the U. S. Employ- ment Service.) SAGE orida: Meeting in the City of Orlando recently, a group repre- senting business, the professions, industry, agricul- ture, women's clubs, chambers of commerce dnd varied interests discussed the grave problems that confront the state 'and nation as we approach another election. Feeling that the time has come for the people to speak out clearly and emphatically as to their wishes concerning vital issues that confront all of us, the following clear-cut ,"Declaration of Principles" was unanimously endorsed and is herewith presented to the. voters of this state for thoughtful and serious consideration. DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES We Advocate: WIN THE WAR . Whole-hearted cooperation of all the people of the i United States in winning this war for personal liberty and in preserving the fruits of victory. 'CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT 4 The return to, and maintenance of, our National ** Government as created within the framework of the Constitution of the United States. * STATES RIGHTS The preservation of the rights of the States of the Union, except where such rights have been express. sly delegated to the Federal Government by the Consti- tution of the United States; and the abolition of Federal grants when predicated upon Federal control. SOUTHERN TRADITION S4 The recognition of the inherent right of the people 8 of the Southern States, as well as the right of the,,, people of other sections of the United States to the preservation of their local, tiihe-honored customs and traditions. FREEDOM FROM FEAR AND COMPULSION 5 The right of individual free enterprise in labor and I management without fear of Government reprisal; and the right to work without being compelled to pay tribute to any man or organization. For the purpose of widely publicizing these prin- ciples and" to encourage statewide consideration and discussion of the vital issues with which they deal, it was decided to set up an organization. Adopting the name: Florida Voters for Constitu- tional Government, R. D. Keene, Winter Garden, was named President; John D. Clark, Waverly, 1st Vice President; Dr. Meredith Mallory, Orlando, 2nd Vice President; Russell Kay, Tampa, Secretary, and E. T. 1y le, Orlando, Treasurer. Concerned with issues and policies rather than men or parties, this organization does not support or oppose any specific candidate for public office, State or national, but rather, presents a yardstick by which all may be measured. REASONABLE TAXATION 6 The adoption of a National tax program that will enable private industry to reconvert to peacetime operations, and thereby provide immediate employment in private industry for those now in the armed services, or engaged in war production. LIMITED FEDERAL TAXES 7 Limitation upon the taxing power of the National SGovernment so as to restore the constitutional functions of state and local governments. INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE 8 Individual initiative and self-reliance in agriculture, industry and in the professions. The American tradition of individual freedom and responsibility must be maintained, regardless of socialistic or paternalistic trends which might promise temporary security. GOVERNMENT COMPETITION Q That the Government of the United States should not enter, directly or, indirectly, into business in competition with private individuals, except in time-of war. TEACH CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT 10 The introduction into the state educational system of an intensive course of instruction on the funda- mentals of constitutional government. F Tear Out-Sign and Mail to Florida Voters for Constitutional Government Orlango, Florida 423 S. Orange Ave. P. O.

If disregarded, this may lead to Heart Trouble, Stroke, Paralysis, ;Hardening of the Arteries or Kid- iney Trouble. 'Diamonex, discovery ,of a heart specialist, is designed to 'quickly aid in the relief of these distressing symptoms. A Chicago resident says: "I suf- fered from High Blood Pressure for Several years with increasingly severe throbbing headaches, dizzi- ness and shortness- of breath. I Showed the Diamonex formula to my doctor and, on his advice, tried ;the treatment for two weeks under identical' conditions as previous treatments. Within only three days my bad headaches and dizzy spells were gone. My high blood pressure was reduced and I sleep fine.' t Diamonex goes directly to work in three-different ways to aid in the relief of these dangerous symp- 'toms. Results are speedy-within 'as short a time as two weeks suf- ferers often find that Diamonex has accomplished 75% of the total re- duction possible with this formula.

In this issue we carry the news that Ben- jamin Kirkland lost his life while serving with the U. S. Army in Italy. In one of his letters published in The Star, Private Kirk- land said: "I'm eager to get 'over there,' lo, the quicker we go over, the sooner the war will end." He was willing to risk hi's life that our form of government might -continue to exist. Private Kirkland gave his life oni January 26. A news release from Detroit of approxi- mately the same date reported that:. "A sit- down of more than 1000 workers in support of demands for a 10-cent-an-hour wage in- crease threatened production in the Ford Willow Run bomber plant." A story from Edgewater Beach, N. J., alsu of the same approximate date, gave an at- count of how two union men had beeni e:t- pelled from the union for conduct "unbeconm- ing to unidn men." Their offense was test- ing 22 to 24 trucks a day instead of the union. decreed average of 10 to 12.

THE HOUSE OF CARDS Mr. Murray, head of the CIO, -argues that because the cost of living has risen higher, according to his estimates, than according to government statistics, wages must continue to rise. This means increased cost of produc- tion and still higher living prices. The game being played by prominent labor leaders is like the childhood pastime of build- ing a house of cards-inevitably one last card brings the structure toppling down. There is no reason for our country suffer- ing a devastating collapse if our people will use their God-given intelligence, instead of following the easy-money, no-work boys, as sheep follow a blind .leader over a precipice. Looks like the Republicans are expending all their strength now, while the Democrats are sitting back taking it easy. When the main event is scheduled in November the GOP will be too weak to put up much of a battle. A lot of people say they are afraid to go for a ride in an airplane. They shouldn't be, for there's not a chance in the world of them missing getting back to earth. LET'S CHANGE THE PENSION LAW W\;ith the money from the state's cigaret tax and the levy on horse racing piling up in the state treasury, old people who get hardly a subsistence pension are hoping for an in- crease in their old age assistance grants, but they will look for it in vain unless the present law is changed. Under the present setup exactly two mil- lion dollars can be allotted for pensions, this amount being matched with an equal sum by the federal government, making a total of four million dollars. The cigaret tax is ex- pected to bring in $7,000,000 by July 1, but the only portion of this money that can be ....used for pensions is sufficient to make up the two million dollars if the money derived from the horse racing tax does not produce two million, for two million is the amount allotted and it is to be derived from.the horse racing tax or the cigaret tax. The taxpayers of Florida are paying in con- siderably more than two million dollars to the federal fund for old age assistance, but since the federal government will match only what the state sets aside for pensions, that is all we get back. Consequently the bulk of what we pay in goes to oldsters living in othei states. Why not bring more of that Florida money back into Florida by upping the fund for old age assistance? With living costs 'way up. our old people should be entitled to a boost in their grants, I and this can be done if say, four million dol- lars of the cigaret tax money is allocated to the old age assistance fund which, with an equal amount from the federal government, would give eight million dollars for pensions i instead of the present four million. 'This a would mean that each' of our old people olr the pension roll would receive from thirty to f forty dollars each month-and that isn't very tE iluch. when we take into account the cost o01 v living today. .. A BLIND ALLEY @When any industry seeks to improve its competitive position by advocating restrictive legislation against other industries, it is play- ing with fire. Spokesmen for manufacturers of -adver- tised brands of food are holding a match dan- gerously close to the coat tails of their indus- try. They are asking that food retailers be restrained from marketing their own private brand food products in competition with thec brands of large food manufacturers. They don't complain that private brand food dis- tributors are becoming :monopolistic, or that consumers, are being penalized, but merely that "private brand products are marketed pursuant to the policy of systematically un- derselling competing manufacturer brand products." In other words, they are kicking because a competitor, generally a little fel- low, is able to undersell them and thereby render better service to the public. Legislation of this kind, if enacted,, would stop every merchant, who so desired, from selling homemade products of any kind, like the hdt pepper sauce Patty Lovett puts in. local groceries every spring, or the cane syrup made by Gulf county farmers and which is on sale at every grocery store around here. These big food manufacturers are sticking their necks 'way out in advocating legislation of this sort to limit competition. If they're wise, they'll try to improve their own ef- ficiency rather than cripple their small com- petitors. Any other way would lead up a blind alley restilting in the manufacturing food in- dustry becoming a monopoly, with resultant oppressive government regulation. At a War Bond auction in Newark N. J., last week, a 372-paund live pig brought $108- 000 and a life-size picture of Crooner Frank Sinatra brought $100. -Perhaps Sinatra isn't as hammy as he sounds and looks. Best simile of the week: She was as grace- ful as a walzting camel. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW Not much interest being taken n, politics around here. Don't im- gine there will be anything stir- ing in the way of announcements or county commissioner until at- er the redistricting proposal is oted on. Of course:, there's an if chance that the rediistricting laa will be turned down by the others of the county, and if such id happen, the'gazabos who were vise enough to have their names n the primary ballot for commis- loner would undoubtedly go into office. The original plan o' divide Port St. Joe at Sixteenth street so that Jim Bounds could un for commissioner without oip- osing Roche has been discarded the compromise plan, and the dividing line would be at Fifth treet. That would put Roche and ounds in the same district. Or course, I wo-uldn't say that Roche s going to ru-n again--but when politics get into a man's blood it's ard to eliminate It. UJp i the other end of the county thu )alkelth district would' be elimt- ated, and that would, throw Jesse, askin and W. R. Connell into these ame district, and both of those oys really HAVE politics' in their lood. And in the Over- ;reet district, under the new plan, e'd see, W. C. Forehandl of High- and View, J. C. Martin of Beacon till and' Roy W'hitfield of Over- treet in a three-cornered battle. Yea, verily, there's bloot n the political moon. Doesn't look like any of our county officers will have opposl- on, except C. G. Rish, supervisor f registration.
