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 SEEKS RE-ELECTION BYRD E.

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.

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. Move Here From Apalachicola Mr. and Mrs. Ned Porter of Ap-' alachicola have moved to this city to make their home, Mr. Porter be- ing employed by the St. Joe Paper Company. 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.

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.
