WOULD
LOWER TAXES
FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN OF
FERS AMENDMENT TO WAR
REVENUE BILL, EXEMPTING
FRUIT. VEGETABLES. GRAIN.
Washington Bureau.
Pensacola Journal

Washington, May 19.-Congress-
man Joe" Sears of Florida made a
strong effort in the house of repre-
sentatives today to amend that sec
ton of the revenue bill levying a
three percent tax on freight bills so
as to exempt fruits, vegetables and
grains from payment of the tax. He
offered an amendment to the section
which read, provided that this tan
shall not be levied or assessed upon
transportation charges on fruits
vegetables and grain The amend
ment was defeated by a small major
ity after Sears had addressed the
house IN it. But Sears will take the
matter up later and hopes to have the
bill amended.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is now considering a fifteen
percent increase in freight rates, "
said Sears in addressing the house,
''If this tax on freight bills is put into
effect it will mean an additional
three percent increase cost of freight
and result in much fruit and vege-
tables going to waste because it will
be improbable to send them to
market"
