State Game Commission Will Re-
consider Order Made At
Previous Meeting

Two highly controversial fishing
proposals, commercial seining and
a closed season, will highlight the
meeting of the game and fresh wa-
ter fish commission, in Tallahassee
next Monday morning.
The commission reports that an
estimated fifty persons, primarily
sports and commercial fishermen,
have requested their names be
placed on the agenda either in sup-
port of or protest to the proposed
plans.
The proposed commercial fishing
program recommends the seining of
surplus pan-fish from the waters of
Lakes George, Okeechobee, Harris,
Eustis and Reedy and sold to re-
tailers.
The closed fishing season in the
third district, which includes Gulf
county, approved at the last formal
session of the game group, will also
be reconsidered, since the commis-
sion has received a large number of
requests to place this item on the
agenda, as opponents of the plan
assert they were not taken into

Our Country ,-.-" Right or Wrong

YOU'RE GOING TO BE HIT HARDER
Us businessmen have already felt the impact
of the tax bill passed during the last session of
congress, seeing as how we had to make out our
income tax returns by January 15, and come
March 15 the rest of you folks will feel the full
weight of it. These new and higher levies applied
to incomes only for the last two months of 1951,
but brother, just wait until 1953, when the new
rates will be in effect for the entire twelvemonth!
And now your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Tru-
man is asking that taxes be boosted once more-
though from where we sit, with all that yammer-
ing going on up there in Washington, it seems
unlikely that the present congress will go along
with High-Horse Harry (we hope), save in the
event of a major war.
The tax burden has increased at a swift rate,.
especially since your friend (he ain't ours) Tru-
man took office and installed in various jobs his
old friends of the Pendergast machine. The cost

A. E. "Dad" Conklin, 67, passed

Tapper and chairman of the board,

Holland to fill the vacancy created
by Tapper's resignation.

Shark Cagers In Third Win
It looks like the St. Joe high
school has a real athletic instructor
in Frank Hannon, for, after turning
out a state champion six-man foot-
ball team he now has the basket-
ball squad on the road to an unde-
feated season. The local boys took
Altha here Tuesday night 15 to 9
to chalk up the third straight win,
having defeated Apalachicola 22 to
12 and Frink 17 to 15.

Mr. and Mrs. Ned Porter of Ap-'
alachicola have moved to this city

of government required only 7% of the national
income in 1890. When World War I broke out,
the figure was still about the same. By 1940 it
had jumped to 22%. And now government is tak-
ing something like one-third of your income.
For a long time the "ability to pay" theory
has dominated tax discussions. This idea is all
right, but, unfortunately, people have been led
to believe that all government expenditures can
be paid for by taxing the "rich." The popular
case for welfare state expenditures is that they
will redistribute income from rich to poor. This
would, indeed, be a simple solution to the social
and economic ills of the world, if only it were
true. But even if steeply progressive taxes had
no undesirable economic effects, this would be
impossible. There simply aren't enough rich
people!
So, whether you like it or not, any additional
tax increases now must fall primarily upon peo-
ple of very modest means-like you, our readers,
and the editor of The Star-for the reason that
we have most of the money, believe it or not.
Almost 75% of all personal income available for
additional taxation is actually in the lowest in-
come bracket-under $2000.

Hear rumors that Washington is talking of
more taxes. Naturally, it always happens that
way. But if the tax load gets any bigger, we are
going to ask Congressman Bob Sikes to introduce
and pass a law allowing any taxpayer at least
one shot each year at any bureaucrat he picks-
said law to specify the size of gun to be used,
hours when shooting is permissible-or, in short,
simply put all government officials and bureau-
crats in the same category as migratory birds.
Naturally, it would be unlawful for anyone to
use an unplugged gun on a bureaucrat.-Joe Mal-
pas in The Wakulla County News. If such a law
is passed, Joe, we claim the first shot at your
friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Tree planting continues in Port
St. Joe. The Garden Club completed
the crepe myrtle planting on Fifth
Street and set out 125 mimosas on
Long Avenue. The club still needs
a few mimosas to complete the
Long Avenue planting. Is there any-
one in town who has small mimosas
they would give for this purpose?
The Garden Club is urging each
resident of Long Avenue and Mon-
ument Avenue to water and help
take care of the trees placed in
front of their property.
The club would like to see every
street in town lined with trees, and
is hoping to continue its tree plant-
ing project over a period of several
years. The club will welcome any
suggestions as to kinds of trees de-
sired by the residents of different
streets.

Claude Pepper Finally
Makes Up His Mind

Claude Pepper solved the No. 1
riddle of the Democratic campaigns
in Florida by announcing this week
that he will not run for any office.
Thus he relieved the minds of the
friends of Senator Spessard Hol-
land and made it likely that Hol-
land will be returned to another
six-year term without opposition.
He also made the major candi-
dates for governor happier, because
Pepper as a candidate for governor
might have nosed out Dan McCarty,
Alto Adams or Brailey Odham for
one of the two places in the second
primary.
As it is, Pepper said he will con-
tinue in private life, holding him-
self in readiness to serve his coun-
try whenever the emergency may
require.

To Clean Teapot
Winter time is tea time. For a
good cup of tea, start with a good
clean teapot. Rinse the teapot aft-
er each use with a solution of baking
soda and hot water-3 tablespoons
soda to the pot of water. And don't
neglect the spout-clean it by wrap-
-ping a damp paper towel around a
skewer, dip into moist baking soda
and then dig into the spout from
both sides. Rinse well in hot water.
