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.

RiEAL DISCOVY TOR

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Dangerous High Blood Pressure
(Essential Hypertension) is usually
marked byi distressing symptoms
such as dizziness, throbbing head-
aches, sleeplessness and nervous-
*ness. 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.
If you suffer from High Blood
Pressure you may try DIAMONEX
without risking a penny. To intro.

OUR BOYS ARE DYING-FOR WHAT?
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

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-

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.

Editor The Star:
I reckon by. now, everybody
knows that we're getting' weather
reports. We done without 'em for
better'n a year, but we always haa
weather. Seems to mie, on looking'
back, ,that we, had better weather
when we didn't have no reports.
Lookit the kinda weather we've
'been havin' during' the, past week!
Anybuddy interested in the wea-
ther could go. out on their back
porch, "put a .N- t fir,.-,_r in the air-
and tell jest as much about it as
if he'd read an official report. If
it rains or don't rain, the stores
open up, 'ceipt on Wednesday at-
terno0nls, and the trains run. Us
farmers sow and plow and, reap
on our own signs, and we git along
okeydokey.
But all jokin' aside, the weather
bureau is about the best bureau
we"ve got" in the guvamint. What
I'm gittin' at is the 100 other -bu-
reaus, all of which have as, their
main aim the making' of rules cov-
erin' things, we can't do. This lat-
ter bunch is an irksome lot. No-
budidy likes 'em.
Congress, if it wants to do some-
thin' about these foxy bureaus va.
jest talk, and has any interest in
the. elections come November, kin
start a housecleanin' uip there on
