Mystery Revenue

Raiser Is Revealed

By Tax Committee


Will Place Three Per Cent
Levy On Transactions,
Services, Rentals

As a result of Governor Fuller
Warren's invitation to finance and
taxation representatives of both
houses to sit down with him and
confer on the problem, of financing
the state, the .special committee of
seven, which last week had given
out subtle hints as to what form
the proposed revenue-raising bill
would take, late Monday afternoon
revealed their brain child, which
Governor Warren has stated he will
sign if the legislature pauses it.
The proposal is in the form of
four bills offering a comprehensive
finance program designed to bal-
ance the state budget, provide re-
lief for cities and .property taxpay-
ers and furnish money for better
schools and other institutions. It
may sound like magic-but that's
what the men say it will do.
One of the bills would levy a 3%
tax on transactions, rentals, admis-
silons and services, but the com-
mIfftee stated that the measure con-
tains such broad exemptions it can-
not lfe classified as a sales tax.
Groceries, medicines and cotton
.clothingwould be exempt from the
tax. Services covered would luc lude
all personal ervij-e.s landrims.,
garages, rest- iiranrfs r 'bui;
services advertisingg agencies, sign
painters, etc.) and professional ser-
yices (doctors, lawyers, etc.); the
tax on theater, night-club and sport
admissions would exempt admis-
sions under 40 cents. Rentals up
to $50 a month are specifically

Car Now Resembles
Coat of Many Colors

Joseph's coat of many colors
had nothing on Grady Manasco's
1898 car The Star has been en-
deavoring to have painted green
by popularfdemand and by pub-
lic donations of paint.
However, the green theme has
been dropped, and Grady is tak-
ing any color paint. Right now,
for instance, the car has one
dark red and one pea green front
fender, one orange headlight and
one orchid headlight, a white
hood, and an aluminum grill.
Another rare adjunct, probably
found in no other car, is a choice
spiderweb draped across one cor-
near of the windshield. In refer-'
erice to this matter, Grady said:
"I just hate to disturb permanent
tenants, even if the rent control
laws have been lifted."
The car still has a.couple of
fenders, doors and the top yet to
be painted, so anyone having any
spare paint is urged to give it to
Grady immediately.

New Automobile Law

Eliminates 'Free Ride'

After July 1 Car Drivers Will Be
Responsible for First Accident

Attention of the motoring public
is called by The Star to the fact
that Florida's new automobile fi-
nancial responsibility law will be-
come effective July 1.
The new law, enacted by the 1949
legislature and signed by Governor
Fuller Warren, makes an automo-
bile driver responsible for damages
caused in an accident, and settle-
ment of damages must be made
and proof of financial responsibil-
ity must be established or the
driver's license may be suspended.
The new law provides greater.
safety and financial security for
the public by eliminating the "free
ride" provision in the original law.
That law required a driver at fault
in an accident in which injury to
person or property damage of $50
or more occurred to show financial
responsibility for some future acci-
dent, but did not require settlement
of damages in the first accident.
Most automobile drivers who
want to obtain liability insurance
should have no difficulty. However,
in instances where a driver may be
considered a bad risk, there will be
an "assigned risk pool" by insur-
ance companies so that each com-
pany will handle a proportionate
share of any undesirable risks.
'Any person who has diftWulty in
obtiuiiig- insurance may request
the insurance agent to submit his
-appi--avif (W--tris. osi**+: rislE
pool and the :appliaiiciu i ill 're-
ceive special attention.

Saints Drop Two

Games To Tally

Rally In Eighth Brings Hope of Win
But Lucky Fielding Foils Locals

The St. Joe Saints dropped both
games to Tallahassee this week,
losing the Sunday game 7-1 -and
Wednesday's tilt 3-2.
In the Sunday game the visitors
made four runs in the second agd
three in the seventh, while St. Joe
scored the lone run in the ninth
when Edwards walked and Anch-
ors hit to right field to drive in
Edwards.
Wednesday's set-to was all in fa-
vor of the capital city boys until
the eighth, the score being 3 to 0.
In the eighth Herring singled and
Burke sacrificed him to second.
Then Mitchell doubled to the right
field fence to bring in the first run.
Cox went out on a high fly to cen-
ter. and then John Adams singled
to bring Mitch in from second.
The fans were mighty perked up,
and it looked like the Saints might
tie the score, but a couple of excep-
tional catches by .the Tallahassee
players ended all hopes-.

Several Bills Clear

Legislature As End

Of Session Nears

Hundreds of Others Get Axe
From One or Other
Branches

The log jam on citrus and cattle
appeared to have broken in the
state legislature as friends of Gov-
ernor Warren rallied to sweep his
"taste test" citrus bill to a 78-10
victory in the house, after two days
of gathering strength.
As news of. the citrus victory
reached the senate, it took up and
approved the conference commit-
tee report on the cattle fencing
bill, accepting practically the en-
tire house bill which makes it il-
legal for livestock to roam the pub-
lic roads, but turns them loose in
the back country. The house is ex-
pected to accept the same report.
The bill to regulate privately
owned electric and gas companies
was given approval of the, house
appropriations committee and put
on. the calendar for possible, action
this week. It would put privately-
owned gas and electric companies
under the Florida Railroad and
Public Utilities Commission but
would not regulate REA co-opera-
tives or municipally owned electric
and gas plants. A similar bill has
been favorably considered by a
senate committee.
Another source of legislative fric-
S.tfon-is- the- seat-atio-on the bill-
to give (iilfs'trea 3I.al 4 at Hallan-
dale the same advantages in racing
dates that Hialeah Park was given
under a 1947 act.
Both senate and house have acted
favorably on bills to let Florida
voters put an X-mark opposite the

Our Country. Right, or Wrong-

REMEMBER WHEN?
Remember when, not so long ago, some of the
highest officials in the federal government were
saying that a reimposition of price controls and
other such straight-jacket measures were neces-
sary if runaway price inflation was to be pre-
vented?
Do you also remember that, at about the same
time, the same high officials were dolefully pre-.
dicting that any cut in taxes would also give
price inflation a new,shot in the arm and send
the indexs booming into the stratosphere?
We all know what happened. Luckily for the
welfare of the nation, congress refused to re-
impose wartime controls. Congress also put a
reduction on income taxes into effect.
For a considerable period of time the price
level changed relatively little-the big inflation-
'ary trend that was forecast didn't appear. Then,


TEN YEARS AGO
From the Filea of The Star

iLegislators Look Over City Mill
Members of the state legislature,
the Capitol Press Club and their
guests, to the number of 150, in-
vaded Port St. Joe last Sunday to
inspect at first hand the St. Joe Pa-
-per Company mill and our rapidly-
growing city. They looked over the
new Centennial Auditorium, visited
'the constitutional monument and
spent several hours inspecting the
paper mill. A buffet lunch was
served at the Port Inn, after which
the visitors toured the city, and
many were the expressions of
:amazement at the phenomenal ex-
pansion and growth of St. Joe.
Tolls May Pay Off Canal Bonds
U. S. army engineers recently re-
:fused to recommend reimburse-
ament of $200,000 to Gulf county for
construction of the canal connect-
ing the intracoastal waterway with
the Gulf, although they have recom-
mnended that it be taken over by
ithe government, widened and deep-


a few months ago, prices started down. Re-
member the price cuts on cars advertised in The
Star? Notice that ad last week for Bendix wash-
ing machines? Have you been following prices,
in the Boyles and Costin Department Stores ad-
vertisements? Prices are going down and will,
continue to go down for some time. In some
oases, the drops have been very substantial. Meat
is a good example of this. Declines of 20 per cent
and more in meat prices have been registered
since last year's peak.
This price drop all along the line was the re-
sult of the traditional functioning of the free
market. Instead of having a black market, which
always flourishes uneer government controls
(and we had black markets here in St. Joe) we
have had a market which is responsive to the
all-powerful forces of supply and demand. It is
true that the tax cuts gave more people more
money to spend. Along with that, producers in
many fields increased their output. Prices found
their proper level-as they will continue to do in
the future, and perhaps soon we can buy a $1.50
shirt for $1.50 and 40c a pound meat for 40c
a pound.
The advocates of a regimented economy offer
interesting theories-but the hard facts just don't
back them up.

Benjamin Franklin, in his Poor Richard's Al-
manac, back in 1758 had this to say: "It would
be thought a hard government that should tax
its people one-tenth part of their time, to be em-
ployed in its service." Wonder what Ben would
think if he were here today and found taxation
eating up 34 per cent of the national income?

If ever a new Statue of Liberty is designed, it
will be holding the bag instead of a torch.


ened. Consequently a bill has been
introduced in the state senate by
J. L. Shi'it providing for tolls to
be levied on all boats and barges
using the canal,; fhe proceeds to be
used to meet principal and interest
payments on the' county bond issue.

Bill To Increase Old

Age Benefits Termed

Harsh, Cruel Prank

Senator Points Out That 1947 Max-
imum Committment Has Not
Yet Been Fulfilled

The senate last week passed and,
sent to the house bills to increase
the maximum old age ant blind
benefits from $50 to $60 a month,
The measure will allow the state
to match the $30 now put up by
the federal government for welfare
benefits. The state contributes only
$25. The bills do not make the max-
imum benefits mandatory. -?.


The old age measure passed with
but one dissenting vote, cast by
Sen. H. E. King of Winter Haven.
King called the bill a. "harsh and
cruel prank. to play on the needy
old folk;' of Florida. He said he
refuses to "further mislead the el-
derly people. Our first obligation,is
to meet the commitment of 1947
when the aged benefit maximum
was upped to $50 per month," he
said.
Funds have not yet been made
available to meet the $50 maxi-
mum set by the 1947 legislature.

Use Discretion In Getting
Suntan, Says Health Board

"Oh! My blistered back!" will be
the wail of many residents of Port
St. Joe who want to acquire a sun-
tan this summer, unless they take
a few simple precautions, warns
the state board of health.
Don't try to tan your hide in one
day. If you do, you'll probably ac-
quire a serious burn instead. Use
discretion in the amount of time
you spend each day in "soaking up"
the sun's rays.
As an added precaution, rub a
protective oil into your skin to keep
out the ultra-violet rays. The oil


It pays to advertise-try it! .. oco..m.. .. k.


will help you tan evenly without
burning.
Older people especially should be
cautious, for the sun is a factor in
producing skin cancer.


Forage Poisoning.
Forage poisoning, common in
horses and cattle, is caused by a
spore-forming germ that thrives in
soil and in old stacks of oat straw
and hay.

$64,000,000 In New

Taxes Set By Measure

Senate Committee Boosts Appro-
priations Called for By WarraYt

A general appropriations bill call-
ing for a maximum of $64,661,000 in
new taxes to run the state of Flor-
ida for the next two years was re-
leased Wednesday by the senate
appropriations committee and floor
consideration of the measure was
set for this morning.
It would permit expenditure of
$245,416,000 for operation of .the
agencies and institutions of -govern-
ment,; compared with $216,930,000
recommended by Governor War-
ren and the budget commission.
Of the total, the committee set
up $233,701,000 as essential primary
expenditures. The other $11,715,000
is in "desirable" supplemental ap-
propriations that could not be re-
leased until all primary funds for
all agencies had been spent.
If the legislature should decide to
meet only the primary appropria-
tions, it would take $52g)46,000 in
new taxes for the next two %.-year,
The house appropriations com-
mittee bill, still to be introduced,
is expected to carry a considerably
smaller total.
There 'is nothing' :p tIre 'senate

BROWNIE NOTES

Girl Scout Troop No. 1 met last
Friday afternoon in their club room
at the Presbyterian Church, and
on this occasion all Brownies, their
leaders and committee members
honored Mrs. Nell Mitchell with a
farewell party.
The Bluebird Patrol acted as hos-
tesses, and Elaine Musslewhite pre-
sented Mrs. Mitchell with a cor-
sage and expressed love and ap-
preciation for the work she has
done for the Brownies. Elizabeth
Ann Brown, patrol leader, present-
ed her with a bulb bowl and a pair
of tiny vases on behalf of the Blue-
birds.
Mrs. Mitchell thanked the girls
for the gifts and said they were
things she had wished for.
Refreshments were served, and
the meeting was closed with the
singing of "Taps."
Mrs. Mildred Kennington is the
new Brownie leader and will be
assisted by Mrs. Lewis Mussel-
white and Mrs. Elwyn Blount. I


Plans are now underway to take
the girls to Girl Scout Camp Inky,
near Pensacola. Brownies who are
interested are asked to contact
their leader for details.

Faithful Messengers
Your feet, like your eyes, have
to last a life-time-you get only one
pair. Arid those feet, which spend
two-thirds of .their life in shoes,
and carry you everywhere you go,
deserve good care. Buy shoes and
hose that fit and that give you
proper support and comfort. Then
it pays big- dividends to massage
your feet with a lubricating cream
to keep them soft and relaxed.
