Representative Tapper Favors Modified Sales Tax To Raise New Revenue for State Needs 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. Williams took the mound for the 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 $1,000,000, or .4 of 1% "Further summarizing, you will 'Gators at this point and retired the. find that three agencies educa- side, leaving two runners on base, tion, health and welfare --receive who potefitially" ouild have tied the 84.1% of the total appropriation. score 7-7.

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.

The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely asserts; the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. 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 TEN YEARS AGO Fromn the Files of The Star Wood Given New Post By DuPonts G. Pierce Wood, in charge of the duPont interests in Port St. Joe since the beginning of activities here, is now associated with Gulf Coast Properties, Inc., holding com- pany for most of the duPont inter- ests in West Florida. - Mrs. Alice Larrimore Dies Mrs. Alice Larrimore, formerly a resident of Blountstown, who had made her home here for some time past with her son, Lee Larrimore, dlied Saturday afternoon. Funeral decide what form the new tax will take and 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.)

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!

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.

Snow and ice tracked into the kitchen are invitations to accidents. 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. It Pays To Advertise Try It. BATTING AVERAGES OF SAINTS UP TO Player- L. Belin A. Alton Fish Herring M. Craig B. Burke J.

He said for their benefit that he would give them at least two weeks notice un- less some further developments arose.

(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 fastest-growing state in the na- GULF COUNTY BUDGET -- 1949-50 The Clerk of the Circuit Court, as County Auditor, having submitted his estimates of revenue reasonably to be expected other than from taxes from October 1, 1949, to September 30, 1950, as required under Section 129.1 Florida Staatutes, 1941, as follows: General Revenue Fund Occupational Licenses Beverage License Railroad and Telephone Intangible Tax Miscellaneous Advalorem Tax Race Track Reserve 5% $ 300.00 2,300.00 120.00 2,000.00 100.00 36,644.09 9,425.00 2,544.45 Available to spend-95% --.........--.,. $48,344.64 Road and Bridge Fund Gasoline Tax (1/2 of 10%) $ 6,000.00 .Race Track 31,292.47 Reserve 5% 1,864.62 Available to sp'end-95% $35,427.85 Fine and Forfeiture Fund Fines and Costs .. $10,500.00 Advaldrem Tax 6,543.59 Race Track 3,100.00 Total Reserve 5% Available to spend-95% Court House and Jail Building Fund Advalorem Tax Court House and Jail Interest and Sinking Fund Advalorem Tax Race Track .....

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.
