COUNTY MUST COLLECT
NO BUSINESS OF CONTROLLER
TO MAKE BANKS PAY THEIR
LICENSE TAXES, SAYS
MR.. KNOTT
Especial to the Starr

Tallahassee, Nov. referring to
an article in the Tallahassee Demo
crat of October 30th on the license
law, Chapter 6421 contains provis-
ions as follows:
Section | provided that no person,
firm or corporation shall engage in
business unless a state license shall
have been procured from the tax col
lector of the county where the place
OF business may be located, or where
the profession or occupation may be
engaged in, or from the comptroller
or state treasurer, as is provided by
this act. The license taxes provided
by said act to be collected by the
state treasurer and comptroller are
express companies, insurance COM
panies and agents of refrigerator and
tank cars, railroads and telegraph
lines, and sections SO and go of said
act authorizes the state treasurer or
comptroller to enforce the collection
of such license taxes. All of the other
license taxes enumerated by the act,
including banks, bankers and brok-
ers, are payable direct to the tax col
lector of each county and the power
of the tax collector to enforce the col
lection thereof is contained in section
SO, which provides that the payment
of all license taxes shall be enforced
by the seizure and sale of the proper
ty by the tax collector.
The comptroller has no authority
whatever to enforce the payment of
any license taxes that are by law
made payable to the tax collector, and
as the license taxes required of banks,
banking companies and brokers are
payable to the tax collector, you will
see that the article was not sustained
by any provision of the law and was
altogether unarranted.

GAME LAW UNCHANGED

Some days ago an item appeared in
few of the state papers announcing
that certain portions of the game law
had been declared uneonstitution by
the supreme court. Judge w. E.
Smith Immediately wrote the clerk of
the supreme court about the matter,
and received the following reply:
Tallahassee, Flaa Oct. %, 1915.
Hon. w. E. Smith, Ocala, Fla.
My dear Judge: In reply to your
letter of the 26th inst, beg to advise
that the statement in the Times
Union, regarding the game law, was
not quite correct. The supreme court
merely issued a writ of mandamus in
this matter. No opinion has as yet
been fled, nor has any decision been
handed down. Yours truly,
G. T. Whitfield,

sisterhood, casting out selfishness
from the heart of womaaahood.
The social service committee of the
Oeala Woman's Club sent one Of our
farm women to the Woman,s College
in Tallahassee to take the short
course in domestic science, that she
might through her own enlightsn-
ment pass helping hand to others
of the community in which she lived.
No better choice could have been
made than that of Mrs. Florence
Priest from near Anthony A won-
an fun of energy, of love for home
and family and ambitious to make
herself more proficient, and glad Of
an opportunity to help others.
It was about this time when one
day / was returning from the ex-
treme border Of the county that I de-
cided. to stop in Anthony. / thought
that ! would try again. A number
of fruitless efforts had been made to
| interest the women to the extent Of
bringing them together. / simply left
message to be given out at the
church that on a certain afternoon
would be at the home of one Of the
ladies to give demonstration with a
homemade fireless cooker. This
proved a happy thought and brought
response. On arrival / found fine
attendance already in real COM
munity spirit, and glad of an excuse
that brought them together.
We talked on various lines Of wom-
ans work and finally they realized
that an organized club would be a
benefit not only to their little town,
but to each member individually, Civ
| ing them opportunity for expression
by words and deeds.
Before they were hardly aware OF
what had happened the Anthony
Woman's Club was organized at the
home of member, Mrs. A. 3. Moore.
For the time being the little fire.
less cooker that had brought them
together was lost sight of entirely;
out on the back of my buggy it was
cooking away patiently. Finally the
new organized club of house wives
was invited out to examine the con-
struction of the cooker and to taste
of the pudding cooked therein. Thus
ended the first meeting Of the An
thony Woman's Club.
This club is not year old and yet
It is quite wonderful in strength. The
little town of Anthony is not lacking
| in refinement, culture, art or any
other talent. It only lacked that
touch of sociability, that link which
binds womanhood together for gem
eral betterment. These meetings are
held in the different homes and often
members go several miles to attend,
for always there is the inspiration Of
some good work before them. Mrs.
Priest whose name mentioned, is a
loyal member of this club, and thru
