JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1947 NUMBER 37 Lack of New Taxes Will Retard State Says Gov. Caldwell Says Solons Did Good Job, But Precluded Possibility of More Pr4gress Governor Caldwell said the legis- lature, which ended its 1947 ses- sion at 1:49 last Friday afternoon 'without raising new taxes to meet all its appropriations, "diid a good j.b as ftar as it went, but didn't go as far as I think the meeds re- quired." - "The legislature has not, by failing .to raise additional funds, crippled the state,," he said. "It has simply precluuded the accomplish- ments of more progress." He went on to say that "the bud- get commission, in attempting to stretch available funds, will mini- mize the school deficit as much as possible, but I see no likelihood that financial requirements of the new school bill can be met in full." As the legislature wound up its affairs and 'went home, the gover- nor allowed the record $63,300,000 general appropriations' bill to be- come, law without his signature. He also withheld his signature from appropriations of $200,000 for statewide soil conservation and $500,000 for building a memorial to Stephen Foster. He said he was neither approv- ing nor vetoing' them beIcause "other appropiriations with no greater merit 'were permitted to 'become law upon the expectation that the legislature would provide sufficient funds to meet its' obli- gations." Probably the outstanding meas- ure enacted into law by the legis- lature was, the broad citizens' com- mittee education bill, designed to increase teachers' salaries and im- prove the standard of Florida's public schools. The bill also con- solidates all school tak districts, requires, college educations for all county superintendents, and pro- vides for nomins'alaried school boards.

AND AMERICA'S BANKS announce the Bond-a-Month Plan An easy, automatic way to buy U. S. Sav- ings Bonds for Americans who cannot take advantage of the Payroll Savings Plan. FOR MILLIONS of Americans, the Payroll Savings V Plan has proved the perfect way to save. Its ability to make saving a regular, continuous, automatic procedure has enabled these millions of. people to accumulate billions of dollars in U.S. Savings Bonds-money which, for the mostpart, they would not otherwise have saved. Now'bh rough the co-operationof America'sbanks, all the advantages of the Payroll Plan are being made available to people NOT on payrolls-through the new Bond-a-Month Plan for buying U. S. Sav- ings Bonds. if you have a checking account -here is your plan! The mechanics of the new Plan are simple. You go to the bank in which you keep a checking account. You authorize the bank to buy for you, at monthly intervals, a U. S. Savings Bond. From then on, the bank buys the Bond regularly, sends it to you, and debits your account for the purchase price. Suppose you want to buy a $100 E Bond every month. You simply sign a card authorizing your bank to deduct $75 each month from your account. After that, the Bond is bought, registered in your name, and sent to you-automatically. Can you match these investments-anywhere? As your banker will tell you, no other security of comparable safety will give you as good a return on your money as U. S. Savings Bonds. In addition, these Bonds can be quickly turned into cash-without loss-in case of emergency. Any man who has any savings ought to have at least a substantial part of them in U. S. Savings Bonds. The new Bond-a-Month Plan makes accumulating money easy, safe, and above all, sure. The Plan makes it easy for you to arrange a steady income for yourself in any amount you choose, starting 10 years from today. $75 a month put into Bonds now will give you $100 a month, beginning in 1957. For a financially sound future, for both your country and yourself, see your bank and start buy- ing U. S. Savings Bonds through the Bond-a-Month Plan-soon. Save the easy, automatic way-with U..

Newspapers are revealing a situation widely known in Detroit which affects all would-be buyers of new cars. Buyers of brand-new atu- tomobiles have been driving across the street to used car lots and selling at a considerable advance over the purchase price. The cars are then resold at a still further advance. Many buyers have been repeating' this performance. One bought and resold 14 new cars in a-few months. Just what is to be done about it? Who can read a purchaser's mind and tell that he is buying a car not to use, but to sell on a used car lot at a profit? The manufacturers must wonder why, if buyers are willing to pay not only the original Price but several hundred dollars more, the makers should not get the dollars? That should cut the present train of resales, and the -ultimate buyer would pay no more than he seems willing to pay now. Few manufacturers, however, would like to raise their prices:, by, .say, $800 at one swoop, unless their competi- tors did the same. And price agreements be- tween business rivals are illegal. It's ,one of those puzzles confronting a be- -wildered world at every turn.

OUR STORY 'STINKS' HE SAYS An irate Wewahitchka ball player called us Friday morning to tell us that our story on Sunday's game "stinks,'" that they didn't im- port "Ace" Adams to beat, Port St. Joe but merely to draw a crowd to pay for their new grandstand (which we are glad to report they did), w'here'd we get that word "'whoop-de- doo" (that seemed his main gripe), and that if there was any dirty playing pulled it was by St. Joe, not Wewahitchka (our story made no mention of dirty playing, so perhaps his con- science bothered him). We gently informed him that it was his privilege to say what 'he wanted about our story, and if he said it stinks, why then it stinks, but that we reserved the right to print the facts as we see them, that The Star and the people of Port St. Joe are behind the Saints to the limit because the players are all local boys playing for the enjoyment they derive from the game and that regardless of whether they win or lose they do so gracefully. Our fan went on another ten minutes or so, with the word "stinks" interlarded in his con- versation repeatedly, while we listened pati- ently, and when he finally-decided to call it a day, we thanked him for his comment and told him to call us again some time when he had some equally constructive criticism. There is an old newspaper axiom that a pa- per that never riles anybody isn't much of a newspaper, and while we will not intention- ally write something to hurt someone's feel- ings (in fact, at times we omit stories that might cause pain or embarrassment to inno- cent parties), we do feel.that straight facts and the truth are essential in any story. In sports particularly, "razzing" is the rule rather than the exception, and it is a poor organiza- tion( that cannot "take it" and grin.

It will be Watson's second try for the governorship. He ran last in an eight-man field in 193,2, and he also ran unsuccessfully for the supreme court once before he was elected attorney general in 1940.

CARTER Abstracts of Title Loans on Real Estate small farmers who dio not have the necessary farm equipment. I co-introduced a bill 'with Rep. McKensie of Le.vy raising the pen. sion of widows of veterans of the Spanish-American War from $60 to $75 per month. In my opinion, the most import- ant piece of legislation passed dur- ing the 1947 session of the Florida legislature was the citizens com- mittee education program. This bill, through its reorganization for- mulas 'and the appropriation which it carried, should make the citizens of Florida justly proud of its schools in the coming years. It was a pleasure for me to have the honor of serving as vice-chairman of Education A. th- committee that drafted this 'bill and olffe-red it to the legislature for passage. I wish to thank the people of Gulf county for bestowing upon me the high honor of representing them ini the legislature., and I sin- cerely hope that my actions during the 1947 session has reflected honor on the citizens of Gulf county.

TAPPER REPORTS (Continued from Page 1) will be voted on by the people roi acceptance or rejection at the next election. House Bill 663-Is a bill which I believe all the citizens of GulM county can be justly proud of. This bill will appropriate $10,000 per year for the re-designing and re- building of Constitution Park, and provides for its maintenance. Ten- tative plan's, which have been made by the stable road depait- nient, in co-operation with tbh Flor- ida Park Service, will make Conl- stitution Park one of the outstand- ing attr'.'crtons of West Flori'U. House Joint Resolution 896-An amendment to -the constitution to create two new senatorial di;ricrts. The ::9,'i will be o.. ilatoe ou' of Monroe county and, the 40th out of Calhoun and Washington. This will leave Gulif and Bay in the 25th dis- trict. The reason I agreed, to this division is that Gulf and Bay coun. ties will rotate the sienatorship, thus giving Gulf county a senator every other four years instead of avery 16 years, as is the present arrangement. This amendment will be. voted on by the people in the 1948 general election. House Bill 1142-Provides for a closed season on shrimp and oy- sters and regulates the size of each that may be taken in Gulif county. This legislattion was requested by local shrimpers and O-ystermen. The ,following are general bills which I introduced and co-intro- duced: House Bill No. 1-This bill I co- introduced with Rep. Floyd of Franklin. It sets up co-educatioai at Florida State College for Wo- men and the University of Florida. House Bill 838 Introduced by myself, reduces the county cost of its patients, at TlB sanatoriums from $1.50 per day to 75c per day per patient. This will save Gulf county a considerable amount of money over a period of time. House Joint Resolution 850 Is an amendment to" the constitution which would create .statewide for- est conservation and fire protection House Bill 791-Which I co-in- troduced with Rept.
