state government, on November's
general election 'ballot for, public
decision, already is causing a stir
throughout the state. especially in
official circles at. Tallahassee.
The question is whether the
legislature shall choose, a budget
director, responsible only to tlk e
lawmakers and with,.a term of of-
fice not necessarily limited to four
years of most -state offices. The
legislature hasn't elected a public
officer since an amendment to the
federal constitution took away
from state assemblies the selec-
tion of United States senators.
Just what is meant by the term
"budget director" is a definition
which the legislature must also
work out if the people write that
amendment into the constitution.
A budget director can be merely a
gatherer of figures for other peo-
ple to use, or he can be a final
arbiter of public spending with
veto power over estimates of a-e-

Move To Secure

Guard Unit Here

Has Taken On Job To Recruit Al
Least One Hundred Men
In This Section

At the regular meeting of Willis
V. Rowan Post 116, American Le-
gion, held Tuesday night, it was
I voted unanimously to get behind
I the movement to secure' a Nationas
Guard unit .for Port St. Joe.
Plans are to recruit at least 100
men between the ages of 18 and
35 years of age, and those desiring
to sign up are urged to do so at
once, as time is getting short. Be-
ginning Monday, an application
book will be at Schenider's Depart-
ment Store, and those wishing to
join are asked to drop by and sign
up.
It is pointed out that the placing
of a unit here will bring into th-'
coiai. unity a payroll of about $1-,-
000 yearly and in addition the city
will be in line for an armory cost-
ing about $125,000. If Port St. Joe
should be assigned a unit, it la
planned to use the Centennial
Building .as an armory 'until such
time as the war department con-
itr'acs :1 building.
Chances are excellent for secur-
ing a-unit here, as Florida's post-
war National Guard, has been in-
creased to 9,541 officers and men,
including elements of two di-
visions. T'he new quoti is nearly

State Labor Act Violated
Says Attorney General

Attorney General Tom Watson
said Monday that Florida "unions
are, without many exceptions, ut-
terly .disregarding and ignoring"
the 1943 state labor regulation. act.
The statute requires unions to
register their names, offices and
business tgentg with the secretary
of state and pay a one dollar an-
nual registration fee. The law also
prohibits lees of more than $15
for joining a union, requires labor
organizations to keep financial ae-
counts ,. en for inspection of their
memberss, prohibits collection of
back pEy: ent of dues by veterans
for the time they served in the
military forces, and places other
restrict ons on union operations.
Watson sated. that only two
unions have complied with the law.
He estimated there are between
7,50 and 1000 local unions in the
state.

that's rhat seems to irk members
of the governor's cabinet.
The budget board, under the
present system, consists of the
governor and the six other mem-
bers of the cabinet-the secretary
of state, commissioner of agricul-
ture, state treasurer, attorney gen-
eral, comptroller -and school super-
intendent.
These officers control at first
hand: the spending of 56 per cent
of the state's money in their own
departments and, indirectly thru
service on other 'boards or the ap-
pointing of members, the disburs-
ing of a great deal more.
The legislators at their last ses-
sion, along with submitting the
constitutional amendment to the
electorate,, required aIL agencies to
submit estimates of needs and in-
structed the comptroller to fur-
nish detailed breakdowns of ex.
penditures and revenues for each
agency. Prior to this enactment,
lawmakers had' complained that
the budget submitted to the legis-
lature by the budget commission
encompassed 'but a part of the ac-
tivities of government, omitting
those financed, within themselves
by fees ond licenses.
At a recent meeting of the cabi-
net Secretary of State R. A. Gray, I
who has devoted much effort to
budgetary chores, said he hoped
the amendment to the constitution
would, not 'be adopted, "but I ex- i
pect it will." Governor Caldwell
said he was "glad?' he wouldn't
have long to work under the sys-
tem as "the experience in. states
that have it has been very bad."

Beasley Named Speaker
of House for '47 Session

AMks Higher Pay for Teachers and
That Constitution Be Revised

At a Democartic caucus -held In
Tampa last Saturday, Rep. Thos. D.
Beasley of DeFuniak Springs ac-
cepted the. nomination as speaker
of the 1947. Florida house of r.;p-
resentatives. (His nomination was.
merely a formality, since he was
designated at the 1945 legislative
kiession.)
In his speech of acceptance
Beasley called for revision of the
state constitution, higher salaries
for school teachers', central state
purchasing, better budget proce-
dure, and careful husbanding of
the state's record cash balances.'
-Beasley stated that the constitu-'
tion adopted in 1885 is out of date
and is "almost worn out" by more
than 70 amendments. He recom-
mended calling a constitutional
convention to arrange for revision
of the state's 'basic law.
The caucus adopted a resolution
in .favor of making "substantial
raises for school teachers and
school attaches" one of the first
items of business for the 1947
legislative session.
The caucus also moved to put a
stop to the practice of designating
its speakers far in advance of the
legislature. It adopted a resolution
pledging all candidates for the
1949 speakership to defer their
campaigning until May 31, 1948-
just three days, after Democratic
nomination of 1949 members. Four
announced, candidates for the 1949
post already had started their cam-
paigns.

A DIFFERENCE
"Now. really, Private, in civilian
life, would you.come to me with a
trivial complaint like this?"
"No, Captain, Id send for you."


Attends, Superintendents Meet
Tom Owens, superintendent of
schools in Gulf county, attended a
meeting of West Florida school'su-
perintendents held, Thursday of
last week at Panama City. Those
at the meeting went on record as

fund for county schools with a
minimum of $200 per teacher unit

FROM TYNDALL FIELD
National Airlines has filed an ap-
plication with the civil aeronau-
tics board for permission to oper-
ate two daily flights (one east and
one west) into Tynid!all Field. Serv-
ice would be started- on August 15.
The army must give permission
for such an arrangement, and if
approved, army engineers will ne-
gotiate with the airline.
Such a service would be a 'boon
to Port St. Joe, as at present those
from this city who desire to travel
by air must go either to Tallahas-
see or Pensacola.

Americans eat more mustard
than any other spice.

CRUCIAL GAME

(Continued from page 1)
sportsmanship throughout the en-
tire game, didn't even apologize to
Herring, or come in to the plate as
the Saint batter fell to the ground,
and when Jimmy Greer razzed him
a bit after the pitch he belliger-
ently started off the field with the
intent of committing mayhem on
Greer, 'but apparently was all bluff
and returned to the ;box.
Manager Rich Porter, who took.
third base when Burke was In-
jured, held down the hot corner in '
magnificent style, fielding every-;
thing that came his way, throwing
out four men at first.

WEDNESDAY'S GAME
In the return game played here
Wednesday afternoon the Panama
City Spartans lost the tilt to the
St. Joe Saints in the initial inning -
when they allowed four runners to
cross the plate. The Saints han
,another big count in the third as
they chalked up six tallies, and
their scoring ended in the sixth
with a final run for a total of 11.
The Spartans were unable to do
much with Terry Hinote's hurling
until the seventh inning when they
managed to shove over two count-
ers on a walk (the second of two
allowed .by Hinote during the tilt),
a one-base hit, a wild pitch and a
fielder's choice. Their final score
came in the ninth when a hit to
second socked George Wimberly,
base ump, on the leg, a Spartan
batter was hit by Hinote and the
a long .fly to left field to allow a
a long fly o left field to allow a
runner to come home from second.
Hannon led the Saints in hitting.
getting on base four times in five
times at bat and. scoring three runs.
