Saints Split Two-

Game Series With

Wewa 'Gators

Meet League Leading Bucs
of Blountstown At Lo-
cal Park Sunday

Mainly due to the fact that Ward,
who was to have pitched for Port
St. Joe Wednesday against Wewa-
hitchka, failed to show up, the
Saints split the two-game series
with the 'Gators, taking Sunday's
tilt here 2-3, and dropping the Wed-
nesday game played at the county
aat by a score of 7 to 5.
'The two teams are battling it
out for fourth place in the league,
Wewahitchka having lost 14 games
and wone 7, and St. Joe having 6
wins against 13 losses, and having
two postponed games to make up
with the cellar-dwelling Tallahassee
team.
In Wednesday's game the score
was 7-1 in favor of Wewa up until
the ninth inning, when the Saints
got to McDaniel for four more runs.

Points Out In Talk Before
Wewa Rotary That 84%
of Appropriations Go To
But Three State Agencies

As guest speaker at the regular
meeting of the Wewahitchka Ro-
tary Club Wednesday, Representa-
ttve George Tapper of this city out-
lined his reasons for favoring new
taxes for the state of Florida, stat-
ing: "I feel that we can not con-
tinue to grow and progress and
give services to the people of our
state on less money than was ap-.
propriated at the recent session of
the legislature, which is $240,000,-
000."
"Summarizing the total appropri-
ations bill, you will find that gen-
eral government comes to $8,441,-
538, which is 3.5% of the total ap-
propriations bill," he continued.
"Education comes to $136,300,496
or 56.7% of the total appropriations
bill; health $19,660,969 or 8.2%; wel-
'fare $46,262,736, or 19.2%; protec-
'tion to persons and property $16,-
261,706, or 6.8%; conservation and
development of state resources $12,-
415,101, or 5.2%: emergencies and
contingencies for all departments

employee of the state of Florida
shall use his official authority to
coerce employes under him to in-
terfere with an election, pay any
campaign fees, or in any way inter-
fere with the personal rights of
said employes."
It does not prohibit any officer
actively campaigning as a candi-
date for office.

Loses Pipe When Boat Overturns
G. G. Gainous and Bob Smith Jr.,
got a ducking Thursday afternoon
of last week when Mr. Gainous was
bringing his boat from the city pier
around to the canal. Seems the bay
was a bit too choppy. Mr. Gainous
says he didn't mind the ducking
and the loss of two fishing poles,
but he regretted losing his favorite
pipe.

Visit In Jacksonville
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Holmes re-
turned Sunday from Jacksonville
after a visit of several days with
the latter's mother, Mrs. J. H. Fol-
lard.

Cool Floral Color Scheme

Makes Front Yard Inviting


By selecting flowers of named
varieties, "of easily grown flowers,
striking color-scheme gardens can
be grown from seed sown late in
the season.
Flowers of named varieties, all
of the same height, form and color,
when grown in considerable mass,
are much superior for decorative
planting to mixtures, in which
many colors and sometimes sev-
eral forms are blended. This kind
of planting is especially effective
in. formal arrangements, near
buildings.
Illustrated is such a planting in
the door-yard of a modern home,
where tall shrubs or evergreens
would quickly grow too large for
the location. The colors used are
white, yellow, blue and pink, a
combination that would harmonize
with almost any color in the house
walls and -trim.
Cosmos Sensation white, and Cos-
mos Orange Flare are used as a
background planting. Immediately
in front of these are the blue Cyno-
glossum, the Chinese forget-me-
not, white pompon asters, and


dwarf Calliopsis, which is the an-
nual form of the perennial Coreop-
sis, anid bears yellow and orange
flowers, with brown markings. In
the foreground is a ribbon plant-
ing of annual pinks, bearing flow-
ers of pink, red and white blended
in attractive patterns.
These flowers can all be started
from seed sown in, the early sum-
mer, and will give a long period
of bloom, lasting until frost kills
them in the fall. When they are
dead, the space they occupy can
be planted to spring flowering
bulbs, which will give a display of
color from the first spring thaws,
until time to plant next year's gar-
den of annuals.
Cosmos Sensation white grow.
four feet tall and bears large single
white flowers from midsummer un-
til frost. Cosmos. Orange Flare, has
bright orange flowers, somewhat
resembling Coreopsis in shape, and,
having a long season of bloom.,
Cynoglossum has varieties of botW
dark blue and light blue. It's for-
get-me-not flowers blossom without
ceasing all summer, as do the.
dwarf Calliopsis and annual pinksi

Our Country Right or Wrong

UP TO OUR LEGISLATORS
Speculation is rife as to when the governor will
call a special session of the legislature. The chief
executive has not committed himself further than
to say that August 1 seems to be the longest the
state financial structure can withstand the
pressure.
In the meantime, notices have been sent out
from the state department of education to the
various county school units that state funds for
the first three months, July, August and Septem-
ber, will be slashed. And from Comptroller Gay's
office comes word that July checks for the aged,:
the needy and the blind will be held up indefi-
nitely.
There is so much smoke on both sides of the
question of state finances, it appears a difficult
thing to get a true picture. Some of the law-
makers are of the opinion that the state govern-
ment can operate without additional revenue.
This belief is not shared apparently by the gov-
ernor and the cabinet nor by all the legislators.
Behind that smoke some are seeing an all-out
effort on the part of the sales tax group to take
advantage of the situation. The sales tax ques-
tion. has been brought before the legislature on
numerous occasions. Adherents of that plan have
fought a losing battle for years, but have kept
forces intact with a belief in ultimate victory.
Governor Warren is pledged to the people of
the state to veto a sales tax if it is passed. How-
ever, he seemed willing to accept such a tax in
modified form during the regular legislative ses-
sion. So anybody's guess is as good as the next
fellows' on that point.
It seems to us a matter of simple arithmetic
that if you appropriate $240,000,000 and antici-
pated revenue amounts to $180,000,000 there is
going to be a deficit. The question of the amount
ofsthe deficit being the difference between the
two figures does not necessarily follow. Present
tax sources may yield more than estimated. It
hardly seems probable they will yield less. But
regardless of that, there is an appreciable gap
between the two figures, and it comes down to
the alternative of either providing the money to
make up the difference or reducing the appropri-
ation figure.
It appears on the surface that new taxes will
have to be imposed unless we are willing to lose
all the gains we have made during the past two
years in raising the. standards of our public
school system. It will be up to our legislators to

how much new revenue will be required.-The
Gadsden County Times.

HIGHER MATHEMATICS
Statisticians, those fellers that juggle figgers
and find out what the score is without having to
look in the back of the book for the answers, say
that the average worker pays one-third of his in-
come in taxes. That goes for the average person
who works for wages or salary or who operates
a small business. Some pay more and some pay
less, but ,that's the average.
When we had the six-day week it wasn't any'
trouble at all-we knew that two days' pay went
for taxes and that we had four days' pay to spend
on ourselves. But this five-day week is something
else again. A third of five days is one and two-
thirds, and two-thirds of eight hours is hard to
figger-gets us maybe into higher mathematics.
It finally came to me after a lot of hard think-
ing that Mr. Truman was just trying to save us a
lot of trouble when he asked for more taxes. No-
body told me this, I just thought it out for my-
self. More taxes means that he's going to let us
work two days a week and to hell with the frac-
tidns; we can keep all the rest of it for ourselves.
Sure it, means only three days' pay to take
home, but isn't that easier than having to fool
around with such tough mathematical questions
as how much is two-thirds of eight hours' pay
at $1.873' an hour? How do I know what is two-
thirds of half a cent?-Bisbee (Ariz.) Brewery
Gulch Gazette.

FARMERS ARE SMART FOLKS
A surprising result was obtained when Omaha
newspapers conducted a poll to determine how
the farmers feel about the administration pro-
posal to subsidize farmers when prices of farm
products fall.
The farmers voted against the idea, three to
one.
Why? Well, for one thing the gentlemen of
the soil evidently didn't believe the thing would:
work. It was explained to them that the govern-
ment plan provided that farmers would be paid
the difference between low prices and prices
considered fair, but that the consumer would pay
only the low prices. Thus, the cost of living
would not be raised.
The question immediately developed: Who
would pay the cost of the plan, and why
wouldn't the cost of living be increased?
The answer, ofcourse, was apparent. The tax-
payers would foot the bill. So, their cost of living
would be increased because their taxes would go
up. Farmers are taxpayers. Also they are a very
sensible segment of the population. They appar-
ently came to the conclusion that the government
can't subsidize everything without everyone
helping to pay the check-and that such subsi-
dies, carried far enough, would mean everyone
would be working .for the government and re-
taining just as much, and no more, of his earn-
ings, as the government decreed.-Berlin (Md.)
Eastern Shore Times.

GOOD NEWS FOR

HOME OWNERS

OF PORT ST. JOE AND VICINITY

John F. Holmes and the Mrs.
have just returned from an exten-
sive four-day trip through South
Georgia and Northeast Florida on
which Mr. Holmes was shopping
for new ideas and practices in the
plumbing line, many of which he
will incorporate in his growing
business in Port St. Joe.
Holmes says that on his trip
he made financing arrangements
whereby the Homes Plumbing Co.
can now offer time payments on
plumbing and heating fixtures, la-
bor and material. "It's all on one
bill," he said. "A small payment
each month, and as long as three
years to pay. Of course, as always,
there will be a slight delay due to
credit."
Put all this together and it adds
up to the fact that the customer
would not have to put up the cus-
tomary one-third down payment.
NO DOWN PAYMENT IS NECES-
SARY!
Homes Plumbing ,Co. is looking
for many calls from people wanting
their bathrooms or kitchens com-
pletely or partially remodeled, of
which we will be happy to figure
on the whole job or any part.

Battle Over New

Taxes Looms In

Special Session

A news story out of Tallahassee
indicates that hometown debate
among Florida's legislators over
the state financial condition is be-
ginning to pick up.
The no-new-tax bloc got most of
the early headlines-and still is
getting plenty-with its demands
for economy instead of a special
session to raise new revenue.
But more and more of those who
believe the state must have more
money are breaking out statements
for the press and pleading the case
for new taxes before hometown
civic clubs, as witness Representa-
tive George Tapper's talk before
the Wewahitchka Rotary Club Wed-
nesday.
It is a battle that will rage right
through the special legislative ses-
sion which Governor Warren indi-
cates he will probably call some
time next month.
A poll of legislators seems to in-
dicate that at present neither side
has won many converts from the
other since adjournment of the
legislature June 3 leaving authori-
zations for the state to spend $240,-
000,000 in the next two years, but
only an estimated $180,000,000 to do
it with.
The poll, which was answered by
about half the legislators, showed
a senate vote of 16 to 3 in favor of
raising the $60,000,000 to support
the appropriations act in full, but
the house only 25 to 17 in favor. It
indicated a limited sales tax will be
acceptable to the senate, but would
have a rough time getting past the
house.
Members of the so-called econ-
omy bloc claim waste and extrava-
gance in operation of the govern-
ment, and maintain that if it were
eliminated and expenditures held
to their present level, the state
wouldn't need any more money.
"Cut out the deadwood," is their
frequent battle cry.
Senator Mathews of Jacksonville,
one of the leading advocates of
new revenue, came back with a
challenge for them to answer "what
deadwood should be cut out?"
He and his cohorts cite figures to
show that 84% of the $240,000,000
appropriations are for education,
health and welfare.

Returns Home After Visit Here
Little Miss- Carolyn Lee Carr re-
turned Sunday to her home in Tus-
kegee, Ala., after several week's
visit here with her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Costin. She was
accompanied home by her aunt,
Miss Sara Jo Costin. Mrs. Costin
and son Ashley accompanied them
as far as Dothan, Ala.

Voters Outside State

May Cast Absentee

Ballots By Mail

Floridians outside the state may
be allowed to vote absentee elec-
tion ballots by mail under a new
law, according to Attorney General
Richard Ervin.
Ervin ruled that, until the courts
decree otherwise, that the new law
should be construed to permit the
sending of absentee ballots to
voters outside the state as well as
those in the state but away from
their home counties.
The old law did not provide for
balloting by mail, except for voters
in military service under a special
war-time act.
To vote an absentee ballot, the
civilian voter had to go to his home
county judge's office during a spe-
cified period in advance of the
election. If he was outside his
county, but in the state on election
day, he could vote a ballot in the
presence of election board officials
and have it sent home for later
counting.
The new law replaces the entire
previous provision for absent vot-
ing.

Auto Tire Chains
,Speed in excess of 20 miles an
hour rapidly wears the cross ,chain
links of automobile tire chains and
results in early failure of the cross
links. These are the weakest links
in tire chains because the rapid
wear reduces the cross-sectional
area of the links and the remaining
section is not sufficiently strong to
withstand the repeated pounding on
pavements at the higher speeds.

You go to wurk and elect your-

what the Gov. and the Mayer shud
no-and positive.
But this here Gov. Lee, he's one
that does savvy. He waded into the
Gov. of California and told him at
that meeting' of Guverners in Colo-

(Continued from page 1)
'have given our health program the
money which they need to ade-
quately take care of our mentally
and physically sick people. Hun-
dreds of TB sufferers are waiting
for us to provide facilities for
them; as well as our mentally sick
citizens, who find no facilities for
them at Chattahoochee." The pres-
ent overcrowded conditions at Chat-
tahoochee should be considered a
crime against the state of Florida
and its citizens. The only way you
gentlemen can actually realize such
conditions would be for you to visit
the institution and see for your-
self."
In explaining state finances and
why additional taxes are needed at
'this time, Tapper pointed out that
in 1947 the legislature increased its
general appropriation from $103,-
,000,000 to $190,000,000 and provided
no additional taxes because at that
time there was a surplus on hand
and the legislators felt-it was not
necessary to raise taxes until this
surplus was used up, "consequently
you can see that we were operat-
ing at a deficit oof $15,000,000 per
year, and this surplus has been
used up," he said.
"Since the adjournment of the
regular session of the legislature
you have been reading various ar-
guments in your newspapers as to
whether or not .we need any addi-
tional taxes," continued Tapper. "I
am sure that you have never seen
any of the so-called 'economy bloc'
group quote facts and figures which
would substantiate their arguments
that we could continue to advance
in education, health and welfare
and still not require additional rev-
enue.
"These gentlemen who form the
so-called 'economy bloc' I believe to
be very sincere and honest men,
but I'm afraid that they have failed
to face the facts and are now cov-
ering up with some sort of double.
,talk. In my opinion it is a fraud on
ithe people of the state to go to Tal-
lahassee and vote for an appropria-
tion bill, come home and tell the
people that he voted for the public
schools, teachers, the mentally ill,
the TB sufferers, and the old peo-
ple, and, at the same time he had
failed to provide any money for
these people when he had voted
agaifist all tax bills.
"I voted for tlie general appro-
priations bill because I thought it
was a minimum with which the

tion could progress and provide for
its citizens. Consequently, at the
coming special session I shall vote
for a tax bill to make up the $60,-
000,000 deficit.
"I shall vote for a modified 3%'
sales tax which will exempt foods,
clothing up to $25, all drugs and
medicines, and rent on dwellings
ip to $600 per year. This, it is es-
timated, will raise between $36,-
000,000 and $38,000,000 a year.
"I will also offer a bill to make
the seventh cent of gas tax a perm-
anent tax and give this money to
the state road department to be
used as a matching fund with the
federal road program."
Representative Tapper went on
to point out that Florida's welfare
and future is based on an adequate
highway system. "For a great num-
ber of years Florida has been fall-
ing behind in its road construction
program due to inadequate funds,"
he said. "I feel that by giving the
road department the seventh cent
gas tax, which would raise about
$6,500,000, and being matched with
$6,500,000 of federal funds would
give us $13,000,000 in additional
funds for road construction.
"I shall also re-introduce my one-
cent tax on cigarets, which money
would go exclusively to the con-
struction and maintenance of state
TB sanitoriums.
"By adopting the program I have
outlined," concluded Tapper, "we
will be saying to our old people,
our sick, and our children that the
state of Florida intends to shoulder
'its full responsibility and face the
future with confidence and assur-
ance."
When questioned by the editor
'of The Star as to how he stood in
regard to the suggested two-cent
increase on each gallon of gasoline,
George said he was definitely
against such a tax-raising measure
since gasoline at the present time
is bearing more than its share of
the tax burden.

The league-leading Blountstown
Buccaneers meet the Saints here
Sunday, and' with Alton on the
mound for St. Joe, the local aggre-
gation has an excellent chance to
take the Bucs down the line, since
this 19-year-old hurler in the two
games he has pitched has allowed
but three hits, two of a question-
able nature, walked none and hit
but one batter.
Fans are assured that they can,
view the game hi comfort, since'
bleachers have been moved into
the partially completed grandstand
and canvas stretched across the
back to keep the sun out. In addi-
tion, the Centennial Auditorium
will be open Sunday to afford toi-
let facilities.
St. Joe goes to Blountstown for
the return game Wednez1ay, and


on Sunday, July 24. the Saints will
play the Oystermen at Apalachi-
cola.
