Dodge and Plymouth Phone 129 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. =m "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Published Weekly By BOYLES DEPARTMENT STORE Port St. Joe, Florida DEAR SHOPPERS: No use for a guy to get the idea that he's the main cog. even in hi's own little business, or to think it won't go on without him.

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.

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, 10 YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star 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.

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.
