A TAX ON THE PLAY OF CHILDREN

A national campaign has been start
ed to present to the people of the
country the reasons why the 10 per
cent tax on athletic goods should be
repealed. Ordinarily we are wary of
such campaigns, fostered and financed
by interested parties, but the purpose
of this one possesses such merit and
the effect of the tax is so widespread
that we feel that we should call atten-
ton to it in a special fashion.
Seventy per cent of the athletic
goods sold In this country is bought
and used by the kids" on the corner
lots. Only a small portion OF these
goods is used professionally. The tax
is a tax on the play of childhood, and
that means that it is tax on the pub
lie health. And such a tax. Imple-
ments used in the perpetuation of
crime are the only items more heavily
taxed than athletic goods, and GER
tainly they should not he placed in
the same class.
The levying of this exhorbitant tax
upon the play of Young America" was
one of those utterly foolish things
which somehow the last congress did
in the rush and hurry of framing a
revenue bill. The matter was never
thoroughly investigated ard conse-
quently it got by. We are persuaded
that if it had been investigated fully
the tax never would have been levied
One of the many things which the
entrance of the United States into the
world war revealed was the low aver
age physical condition of the American
youth. Experts in all sections of the
country commented upon it and with
out exception among the leading caus-
es Of this condition which they all cit
ed was that there had not been suf-
ficient interest in outdoor sports In
this country. They all declared that
a campaign must be begun to promote
a wider interest in sports of all kinds
The Importance of it was impha sized
by the military authorities by the high
place given to all kinds Of sport n the
training camps while we were organ
izing our army. Now that the war
is over, this is one of the things that
ought to have serious attention.
And right at the outset we are con-
tronted with this tax. In other words
we are in worse shape in this respect
than we were before the war, for we
have placed a heavy burden upon the
American children. The campaign
which has been started is for the pur-
pose of having this tax repealed at the
special session of Congress. Men and
women are being asked to write or
wire their congressman and Senators
in regard to it. Ordinarily we would
hesitate to advise people TO comply
with such requests. But, 1t seems to
e q in xt-hi aI
not necessary. The average man or
woman can decide for himself of her
self whether this is just tax or not.
1t is simple proposition. We think
the tax ought to be repealed, not only
because it is a tax on the play of the
children but as the first necessary step
toward the encouragement of outdoor
sports in this country. Think it over
and decide what you ought to do about
1t.

Soldier Farms First

The new commissioner o fimmigra-
ton has a land plan for immigrants.
It is good plan from many points of
view, but there are a few native sons
who might well receive a little consid-
Grafton along such lines before the inn
migrant is tenderly welcomed and
given his plot of ground.
While the war was still on, Franklin
K. Lane, then secretary of the interior
fOresaw that after a while there would
be thousands of service men coming
back to America, whose business lives
had been interrupted and who might
be glad to take a hand in developing
some of Americas great Ianda re-
sources. so he formulated a plan for
giving farms to soldiers. Later this
plan was developed into a practical
comprehensive scheme and embodied
in a bill presented to congress. Long
before the plan was fully completed
letters began to pour into Washington
by the thousand, from boys overseas
who were anxious to take up these
farms as soon as they got home. Where
are the boys and the FARMS and the
plan today?
Reports from Europe, from Immigra-
ton officials here and other authori-
tative sources, show plainly that there
is distinct menace in unchecked i'm
migration at present. Hundreds of
thousands of Americans, soldiers In
Guided. are unemployed. Would it not
be we'll to close the doors for a little
space upon the disease ridden, job
seeking alien, and see that our serv-
ice men get their farms first?-St. Au-
gustine Evening Record.

Urges Hodges Appointment.


With the resignation of j. A. Will
Hams, as fish commissioner in his
hands, we believe Governor Hardee
could not do better for the state,
through advancing one of its chief in
dustries, than to appoint Hon. T. R.
Hodges to fill this vacancy. 1t will be
recalled that Mr.. Hodges held this po-
sition prior to the appointment of Mr..
Williams by Mr.. Cats, and that he
took an active interest in the fishing
them along many lines, and bringing
this industry well up toward the high
position it is entitled to occupy. If Mr..
Hodges should receive this appoint
ment, we understand he will enter ac-
lively into the work Of securing leg
islation authorizing the establishment
of fish hatcheries in this state. While
many may not recognize the need of
this work at this time 1t is only a
matter of time unless protected, until
Florida's fishing industries until re-
Gently looked upon as inexhaustible,
and yet now soon to be practically at
an end. The fishing industry is, and
should be of great interest to West
Florida, with her countless streams
and water courses, and any work look
ing to its development should receive
the hearty support Of the people of
this section of the state especially
