Protests Closed Season

On Fishing In Area

The Apalachicola Chamlber of
Commerce last week filed a vigor-
ous protest with the state game
and -fresh water commission over
its action in closing 10 counties o0'
Northwest Florida to ,fishing for a
two-month period while declaring
the rest of the state ope-n for fish-
ing the year 'round.
The following telegram was sent
to the commission and a copy for-
warded to Governor Caldwell:
"We of Franklin county demand
reconsideration of action closing
season fresh water fishing which is
discriminatory against Northwest
Florida and insist action to conform
with rest of' state as requested in
resolution Franklin county commis-
sioners on file in your office. Your
action divorces Northwest Florida
frcm all possible tourist trade and
unfair to entire section west of
L ,on county."
The chamber is also seeking as-
sistance from chambers of com-
merce in Leon, Wakulla and Bay
counties in having the action re-
scinded.
Other counties closed to fishing
during April and May by the order
are Gulf, Jefferson, Gadsden, Jack-
son, Calhoun and Li:berty.

Nickel Resists Corrosion
Nickel does not rust and strongly
resists corrosion by salt water, by
many acids, caustics and other
chemicals. When alloyed with steel
along with chromium and other
alloying elements, such as in stain-
less steel, nickel helps to make
those metals resistant to heat and
corrosion.

Hold Your 1948 Tax
Estimate Until Last
Minute, Urges Bureau

Here is a word of advice from the
bureau ol' internal reve-nue! Do
NOT file an estimate on yor-r tax
on 1948 income this year until the
last minute' (the last minute is mid-
night of March 15).
Reason given is this: Congress i's
expected to revise the personal in-
come tax law early this year. That
revision is expected to apply to all
or most income received during
1948. It is generally assigned that
the revision will include permission
for all husband-s and wives to split
their joint income, as those in .32
community property law states cani
now do. This, would consideerably
reduce the amount of tax due.
There is strong sentiment for in-
creasing the personal exeminption al-
lorwed for each member of the tax
family from the present 500 to 'a
larger figure-possibly $800 each.

DEAR SHOPPERS:
No use for a guy to get the idea

Finally, there is the possibility of
a downward revision of tax rates.
The bureau of internal revenue
is not assuming anything about
what congress will do in any of
these respects, but it does want to
avoid a flood of estimates-accom-
panied by partial payments-based
upon the old law, which would have
to be amended downward, often
with claims .for refund or the pay-
ment already made.
If action on a new tax lafw is not
taken 'by the middle of March there
is no option except to file an esti-
rmate and then amend it later-
making extra work for taxpayers
and bureau alike, and putting both
to needless expense.

Our Country 7. Right or Wrong


WE'RE FOR THE NEW CONSTITUTION
Some time back the editor of The Star re-
ceived a copy of the rough draft of the pro-
posed new Florida constitution from D. H.
Redfearn of Miami, chairman of the state bar
association committee named to revise the
present constitution. Up until the other day we
hadn't found time to really lodk over the docu-
mnent, but when we finally got around to it we
can say with finality that the majority of the
proposed changes will be highly beneficial.
What we believe to be one of the most im-
portant suggested changes is that providing
that no general laws shall be passed which
have only local application. This means that
the old subterfuge of enacting "population
bracket" laws affecting but one county will be
ruled out. At present a local bill must be ad-
-vertised 30 days in advance of its introduction,

M. B. Smith Called By Death
Manning B. Smith, 67, died Sun-
day night at"the family home. on
Eighth Street. He had been in de-
clining health for some time, and a
fall from the porch of his home on
1December 26 hastened the end. In-

re-election.
Railroad Buys Gas-Electric
With a view to speeding up the
present mail and express service,


hLit general laws do not. therefore so-called
general laws of local application by means of
population brackets can be enacted without
public notification.
Included in the draft also are provisions for
strengthening and protecting the rights of lo-
cal governments. lome i-ule is guaranteed by
the allocation to each city of "full power and
authority to pass laws and ordinances relating
to its local affairs, property and government,"
except' that the legislature may enact uniform
statewide laws applicable to every city. The
draft also pr>\ ides that cities, counties or other
subdivisions may contract together for joint
improvements or services, thus facilitating,
among otlier things, granting, of federal assist-
ance to lIcal communities.
T'he new draft further tightens uI local au-;
tonomy by specifically prohibiting the passag-e
of local laws affecting liens, limiting civil ac-
tions, remitting fines or refunding money
legally paid into a local treasury, extending the
time fi-r assessment or collection of taxes, le-
galizilng/unauthlorized acts of any official, Hx-
ing, the rate of interest, or regulating labor,
trade, mining or manufacture.
