NO TAXES ON
SMALL HOMES
JOINT RESOLUTION PROVIDES
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
COVERING THE SUBJECT.
BY FRANK l.. HUFFAkER.


Tallahassee, April 12.-Hon. w. A.
MacWilliams of ST. Augustine. dean
Of the house, who has fought for years
for progressive legislation in both
senate and house, wants homes,
whether they be palaces or huts,
exempted from taxation, and has
introduced a joint resolution provi1-
ing for a constitutional amendment
covering the subject. He advances
strong arguments in favor Of this in
novation.
Il think homes should be exempted
from taxation when used as places of
abode by their owners, said Mac
Williams, "and believe other legislators
and the cttizenry Of the state win
take the same view of the question.
This would aid in placing the burden
of taxation on vacant lands, thereby
reaching and indirectly taxing the
earned increment on such lands. Upon
such lands and upon the revenue pro-
ductng property of the state, therefore.
taxation would fall. and this will be
conducive to building and owning
homes on the part Of people of means
and poor people as we'll. Florida will
be benefited by having the news given
to the world that she frees a mans
actual abiding place from tax. would
also provide for the exemption of per-
sonal property to the value Of $500.
TT may be said that a man owning
a home valued at $4,000 could well
afford to pay taxes on 1t This argu-
ment is answered By the fact that
man who owns such home must be In
condition to own much other property
that should be subject to taxation.
This plan, therefore. merely shifts
taxation from the homes to property
that Is bringing in or should bring in
revenue"

by Mrs. Cora Lucas. The concert
is to be given for charitable purposes,
the proceeds to go to the school and
to the Episcopal organ fund. The

ter of the violin, has a place on the
program and will give several sclec-
lions. Miss Julia Crouch, of Sails

coming to Laurens several months
ago, is on the program. Mrs. H. X.
Aiken, who always delights her audi
ences with her mellow c%ontralto voice,
will sing several selections. Mrs. Lu-
cas- will play the accomplishments be-
sides doing a part of the solo work.
This will probably be one Of the
most finished performances that a
Laurens audience has had the pleas
ure of listening to in a long time, so
a large audience is anticipated. A
relatively small admission fee has
been settled upon. so that the concert
may be in reach Of all music lovers.
The admission charges will be TWEEN

cert will begin promptly at S:l5
