Murray, Selected As

'49 House Speaker,

Says Taxes Problem

Urges Sound Business In State Gov-
ernment To Avoid Any
New Levies

Representative Perry E. Murray
of Polk county, 'formally designated
speaker of the 1949 house of repre-
sentatives at the biennial cacus
held in Tampa last Saturday told
his colleagues that by over-taxation
"we in these United States .are fol-
lowing the prescription of Karl
Marx in killing 'his own govern-
ment."
Murray asked for sound business
practices in state government, and
urged that if any new taxes- are
necessary "for goodness sake let us
levy those taxes in such a manner
f&t they will be the least 'burden
to business and the least hindrance
and nuisance to working people."
He said he hoped no new taxes
-would be necessary.
The speaker-designate received
quick -backing of his remarks. from
Fuller Wraren, gubernatorial nomi-
nee, and from Rep. B. R. 'Burnsed
of Baker county, who was desig-
nated, speaker pro tern of the 1949
house of representatives.
We don't know how Rep. George
Tapper came out in his campaigning
ifor speaker of the house for the
1951 session, but we understand
that he will be up against some
keen competition, .

Performs for West Pointers

Leaping from an airplane 1000
feet .above the ground, Army. Para-
trooper Pfc. Roy B. Evans, -son of
Mrs. Curtis Evans of this city, Mon-
day of last week participated in an
airborne training 'problem with 800
Tellovw 82d Airborne Division jump-
ers at Fort Braigg, N. C.
On hand to observe Pfc. Evans
and members' of the 504th Airborne
Battalion Combat Team were 250
West Point cadets who were on a
four-day oibs.,rvation tour of the
famed airborne division.
Though it 'was only a routine
training problem for the "All Ameri-
tan" paratroopers, the West Point-
ers *were deeply impressed by the
sight of the young, boot-clad para-
troopers pouring out of C-82 air-
craft and silently descending and
running through the problem.
Upon landing, the combat team
deflated their greenish parachutes,
picked up parachuted equipment,
then rapidly moved to the protec-
tive cover of a wooded area in or-
der to commence attack upon an

John Lane Dubbed
'The Walking Man'

.John Lane, the Port St. Joe ball
player who apparently is going to
go places in the baseball world, has
been dubbed "The Walking Man" of'
the Tulsa (Okla.) Oilers, due to the
'act that he is handed more walks
than; any man in the Texas League.
A picture of' Johnnie poised as if
for a bunt, appeared in last Sun-
day's issue of 'the Tulsa Daily
World, with the following caption:
"In only his second year of pro-
fessional baseball, Second Baseman
John Lane of the Oilers is making
the other Texas League clubs take
note. Playing brilliantly at the key-
stone sack and making a fast double
play combination with Shorts'top
Elibie Flint, the diminutive infielder
has been of inestimable value since
joining the Oilers three weeks art-
ter the season opened. He's a big
cog on the offense, too, having
drawn 68 walks thus far. He needs
only 24 more to tie the all-time
Tulsa Texas League record, set by
John Ston.eman in 1934. Lane is
known as the Oilers' walking man."
A perusal of. the. Individual ba't-
ting records of players on the eight
teams in the Texas League shows
that Lane is in 19th place with a
percentage of .305.

Preesnt Fishing Season Is
Biggest In State's History

The 1947-48 season 'was the big-
gest fishing year in Florida's, his-
tory, according to the state game
and fresh water fish c-mmission.
Commission Director Ben C. Mor-
gan reports that 220,500 persons
bought fishing licenses during the
fiscal year to shatter all previous
records. Sales exceeded the 1946-47
figure by more than 53,000 he said.
He estimated that the-re' were in.
the neighborhood of 500,000 addi-
tional fresh water fishermen who
were not required to buy licenses.
The report also showed that Flor-
ida entertained more out-of-state
anglers, last year than ever before.
Non-resident license sales num-
bered 61,000-nearly 16,000 over the
previous all-time high.
It was the commission's biggest
year, too. Total receipts reached
a record $1.024.000. Approximately
$4,56,000 of the total came from fish-
ing licenses'; $404,000 from hunting
permits, and the remainder from
miscellaneous fees'. It was the first
time in the state's history that re-
ceipts from fishing has exceeded
those from hunting.

Our Country -' Right or Wrong

SHIP SERVICE NEEDED FOR FUTURE
With work of deepening the channel in St.
Joseph's Bay starting next week, this port may
look forward eventually to resumption of ship
service here, though exactly when no one can
tell, since the cost of operating ships has ad-
vanced to the point where ship owners say it
is unprofitable to establish regular coastwise
steamship service which would include Port
St. Joe as a port of call.
However, with our new 32-foot channel, we
probably will see more and larger vessels com-
ing here to pick up paper and lumber, as they
did prior to the war, and this will be something
in our favor. If Port St. Joe is to grow, we
must have expanded water shipping facilities.

7 Buy what you need in Port St. Joe. Every
dollar spent out of town means that much less
purchasing power here.

Remember way back when it was possible
to know the price of a new car by reading the

ENVY OF THE' WORLD
The history of the world, since recorded time
began, has been blackened at regular and fre-
quent intervals by terrible famines. Countless
millions have died miserably from hunger. And
those cataclysms were not confined to long
past, primitive times. In the last quarter cen-
tury starvation has stalked through China, Rus-
sia and other nations.
Yet, in the United States, we have never had
a famine. Some may say short-sightedly that
this is because we are blessed with an abun-
dance of resources. But other countries, where
the standard of living is abysmally low com-
pared with ours, have great resources also.
Some may think it is because we work harder.
Yet in the hunger-ridden nations the average.
nman and woman work much longer hours, and
perform a great deal more manual labor. than
does the average American.
The basic reason for our abundance lies else-
where. It has been in a theory of government
that encourages every man to do his utmost
and reap the rewards that has stimulated vol-
untary, individual enterprise and that, finally,
has given every man the right to compete with
any other in his chosen field.
We see how this system works on every
hand. Every American can walk into a store
and buy all the groceries, clothing, hardware,
or anything else that he wants-something
that is impossible in most other countries.
Free people, working in a free economy,
have made the American standard of living the
envy of the world.

Women have more nerve than men. No man
would sit in a beauty parlor chair for an hour
and have his eyebrows yanked out by the roots.

One way to get a good, lasting finish on your
car is to try and beat the train to the crossing.

family of field mice had set up
housekeeping in it. We asked
George how-come the run-down con-
dition, and he told us it was due to
two things. FPirst, the liquor at the
paper mill (not the kind you drink)
where he works is gradually eating
it off, as he gets it on his hands
and then strokes his mustache. And
second, recently he was lighting a
camp stove when i.t flared up and

George, "and I'll soon have it back

We casually remarked, to John
Blount recently' that while we wore
the pants around our house, our
wife told us what pants to wear,
and we, as-kedhim who was the boss
in his domicile. "Well," said John,
"my wife bosses the children, and

It's hard to believe that a banker

waiting while his shoes were being

Walking down the street and no-

'Prices of fresh vegetables in the
markets of this country for several
years have averaged fifty percent
higher than in the boom period from
1920 to 1929.
Market growers as a whole have
not enjoyed excessive profits, because
of increases in labor, transportation
and materials used to produce their
crops. Should a substantial drop
come in their prices, profits might
be wiped out.
Government purchases to support
fresh vegetable prices are not re-
quired by law except inh the case of
potatoes. Support may be given,
however, when prices to the grower
fall below parity, and money in the
support. fund is available, subject to
the discretion of department of agri-
culture authorities.
Parity prices for fresh vegetables
July 15, 1947, are given in the ac-
companying table. Parity this year
pwill probably be higher, owing to
advances in some factors which enter
into its calculation. The purpose of
parity is to insure that each pound of
vegetables which the grower sells,
wffl bring him money enough to buy
as much as he couldwith the pro-
beeds of hIs crop in the base period,
1920-29. r,
When govemvmnt authodties buy

falling bdow the a standard, the

the public are thereby reduced, and
market prices re as a result.

Parity Prices of

Fresh Vegetables
Retail prices to consumer are
usually at least double the whole
prices, given below. Parity prices
in 1948 are likely to be higher

to maintain prices, bargains in freshly
vegetables this summer are extreme-
ly unlikely, except to the home gard-
ener. By growing his own vegetables,
he is able to turn his leisure hours
into food for the table, or for home
canning or freezing. If he counts as
a money saving the retail value of the
vegetables he grows and uses, he will
find that by choosing a home garden
as his recreational hobby, he has
made a substantial reduction in the
high cost of living.- In addition to
this saving, he can make available
to his family a much, wider selection
if vegetables than can be found in
the market, and a table quality and
freshness which market vegetables
cannot equal. ,

State Fishing Licenses
Should Sell for But $2

If you pay more than two bucks
for your 1948 resident fishing li-
cense you're getting gypped.
The state game and fresh water
fish commission says no license
dealer has a right to charge more
than the fee set by the legislature.
The agency says it has received
complaints that "several" sub-deal-
ers. were overcharging buyers.
"Under the law," said the com-
mission in a statement, "a resident
fishing license should cost $1.75,
plus a 25c county judges' fee-and
no more. There is no legal provision
for any additional fees for sub-
dealers."
In many sections county judges
allow fishing camps, sporting goods
stores and other business places to
distribute permits.
