Must CIT THE HONEY.
The Hard License Law Will Raise a
General Howl.


The Legislature is not altogether re-
spOnsible for such measures. They are
made up by administrative officers and
put into the hands of Legislators to
pass, and are almost always followed
up and lobbied through by them, and
the revenue and license laws GENERALLY
come from the Comptroller Office.
The following is from the Jacksonville
Metropolis:
The matter of the license tax is pro-
vided for by the act of the last Legis-
lature is again in part defined by the
State Comptroller for the instruction
and guidance of tax collectors and
those subject to the payment thereof.
The last circular letter is as follows:
Comptroller's Office,
State of Florida.
Tallahassee, Aug. 20, 1907.
To the Several, Collectors of the State
of Florida:
Gentlemen The guide to the license
law is only intended as an index TO the
law, and in every case the tax collector
should examine the law before deciding
what amount of license tax TO collect.
The act of 1907, chapter 5597 of the
Laws of Florida, is a revision OF the
general license law of 1908, chapter
3l05 of the Laws of Florida, and any
provision in the act of 1903 is repealed
by the act of 1907. Special acts of the
Legislature fixing license taxes in par
ticular cases, when not in conflict with
the act of 1907, are in force, and IL
censes should be collected Hereunder.
Each license issued under the law is
limited to the particular business, pro-
fession or occupation for which it is
taken out, l. e., license to sell naph-
tina will not permit the sale of lubricat-
ing or Illuminating oils; a license as
green grocer and dealer in fresh fruits
and nuts will not authorize the sale Of
other articles, such as cured ham, ba-
con, salt fish, etc., for which a mer-
chants license is required. A license
as merchant will not authorize the
holder thereof to sell any article for
which a special license is required with
out paying the amount of such tax.
Yours very truly,
A. c. GROOM, Comptroller.
HARD ON SMALL DEALERS.
This license tax, as specified above,
will be hard on the small dealers, and
may drive them out of business if they
cannot pay two or three different Ii
censes.
There is a rumor current in the State
that this new tax law, or certain parts
thereof, may be contested in the courts
as to it's validity in concurrence with
State and national constitutions.
This is the same Legislature that the
Governor is thinking of converting in
axtra session
