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.

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.

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. -----.__--K- Rotary Hears Talk On 'Beekeeping' :L. L.

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 advertisements ? 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.

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 took at least three-quarters of all inch oiff each end. .. "I've still got plenty of strength left," said George, "and I'll soon have it back bigger and better than ever." 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 the children boss the dog and cat, but I can say anything I want to the marigolds." It's hard to believe that a banker owns but one pair of shoes, .but that seems to be the situation 'with S. L. Barke, or else appearances are deceiving. We saw him in Austin Huggins' shoe shop the other day sitting on the shoe shine stand in his stocking feet, apparently waiting while his shoes were being repaired no holes in his sox, though, so perhaps things weren't a' b.ad as they seemed. In the past 'we've picked ,four win- ning governors of Florida and three winning presidents of the U.

We've decided that when we pick a loser we'll never know how bad he might have been. Walking down the street and no- ticing girls in slacks, we've reached the decision .that the reason most girls don't look good in slacks, is be- cause the distance is too great be- tween their hip pockets. Fine Medieval Sculpture The Cathedral in Wells, England, has one of the finest displays of medieval figure sculpture in the United Kingdom. '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 to support pices E mnp which is falling bdow the a standard, the purchased goods t posed of out- the market. Qwlitks available to the public are thereby reduced, and market prices re as a result. Wth an these lafteces aqt woric 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 An those of July 15, 1947, which follow. Limia beans Snap beans Carrots - Sweet Corn (doz.)

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. , ST.

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.
