PALM BEACH COUNTY
SECOND IN FLORIDA
IN WAR STAMP DRIVE

In percentage attained during the
recent War Savings drive Palm Beach
county was second in the State OF
Florida. Dade county is first. Our
percentage might have been much
higher but for the fact that more EN-
phasis was placed on sales than on
pledges as all those working in the
drive felt that it was more important
to send money up now than TO get
folks to tell what they were going to
do later on.
The Treasury Department received
from the sales of War Savings Stamps
in America during the first eleven
days of July more money than was re-
ceived from other sources by the
Treasury during the entire month Of
June.
The sales in this county have no,
Jagged from the time that war SaV-
ings Stamps were placed on sale.
The Postoffice Department has Is
sued a bulletin showing the stamp
sales at the fifty largest postofices in
the United States. West Palm Beach is
ahead of all but nine of these for per
apita sales. Notable among those
whose per capita sales are only aboul
half that of ours are New York, Bos-
.on. Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia
Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco
md New Orleans. Our citizens may
be justly proud of their record in TINS
matter. Buy a IS stamp today and
teep our county on the map'--Palm

Washington, July 22.-German
"frightfulness" in new form, de-
signed to shake the morale of the
American people, was the interpreta-
ton placed by many officials today on
the sudden appearance yesterday of a
German submarine off the Massachu-
settes coast and the sinking by shell
fire Of three barges and the shelling
Of tug and another barge. They are
unable to see any other reason for
wasting ammunition on small craft.
Naval vessels are believed to be
searching for mines thought to have
been dropped by the submarine in an
effort to sink transports rather than
'isk to attack them under convoy.

WANTS A
LOWER ASSESSMENT
FOR THE FARMERS

washington. July 22.-Senator
Fletcher today had up with Internal
Revenue Commissioner D. C. Roper
VINO called into the conference his
board of review, the question OF the
OASIS OF assessment against farmers
III various portions of Florida. the
most serious complaints arising In St.
Johns county, largely around Hast
ings, by reason of the large earnings
last year, and the falling off this year.
Senator Fletcher contended for a
rate of 8 per cent on the increase, but
1t was held that the law would not
permit that. AS construed, the law
likes the assessment on the basis OF
capital invested, which would make
the tax ordinarily about so per cert
Of the income.
Senator Fletcher then contended
that under section 2O1 of the law. IL
applied to farmers, the tax would be
from Is to 20 per cent of the income
and he urged that such application OF
section 2O1 should not be made. The
commissioner and his board of review
are now considering the Florida cases,
and it is hoped will finally rule in fav.
or Of that position.
Senator Fletcher has prepared an
elaborate argument on the question
covering the points he represented
orally, and aims to submit it. He will
also insist that the new revenue act
must change this basis of assessment
as now provided as to the farmer and /
make the tax on income derived from
agricultural pursuits about per cent
