NOBODY WANTS TO PAY
Hunters Oil Bill Stirs Up a Nest of
Hornets
Tampa Tribune)

Tallahassee, May 9-The Hunter
proposition to tax dealers in oils, gas
oline, kerosene, lubricating, fuel oils,
etc., was taken up at a public meeting
of the finance and taxation committee
of the House tonight, with Chairman
Hunter in charge and several gentle
men-dealers and consumers-were
heard.
The main argument made by deal
ers in oil was that the tax proposed,
which it is estimated by them will net
about one-seventh of the states in
come, is much too great a share of
the tax burden to be borne by an in
dustry which they claim does not do
more than one seventy-fifth of the
business of the state.
They denied reports that they were
in favor of the tax and most empha-
tically made it plain that they do not
believe it is a proper tax in spite Of
the fact that the bill proposes that
they shall pass it on to the consumer.
They objected to being placed in the
position of being tax collector for
the state. One speaker made the
point that there is no assurance that
the money will 60 for roads, and fol-
lowed this up with the statement that
about 65 per cent of the gasoline used
in the state is for automobiles, while
the rest is by motorboats, stationary
engines, ETC.. which would derive no
benefit from a road tax.
r. H. Anderson, of the legal de,
partment of the Florida East Coast
Railway, spoke as a representative of
a consumer, pointing out that a tax
on fuel oil penalties this road, the
only one in the state which has adopt
ed this fuel, course that has enabled
them to give better service to their
people and to operate with less dam
ger of fire and trouble from smoke.
w. w. Wright, Quincy. represent
ing the fullers' earth industry, also
spoke as consumer. He told Of the
immense consumption of fuel oil in
their plants saying IS per cent of the
fulers' earth of the world is mined m
Florida and s5 per cent of that is Sc.
cured in two plants in Gadsden coun.
ty.
One of the oil men present urged
that the tax in this state would de-

ness as the boats would 60 to port.

The rates charged in the bill fol-

crude and fuel oil, per gallon, tw'

OIL MEN EXCITED

The oil men are up in arms against
Charlie Hunters proposition adopted
by the House committee on finance
and taxation as a committee bill, to
tax dealers in gasoline and oils one
cent gallon on the oil they sell. That
the funds will be converted into the
general fund and thence carried by
appropriation to the road fund is
Hunters idea. He has secured the
advice of good lawyers and believes
the tax, levied as an occupation tax,
will stand the test where tax on oil
direct would be knocked out as a tax
on interstate commerce.

Marion county members of the
American Legion who intend to 90 to
the state reunion in Orlando, May 16
and II, by rail, can obtain the special
rate Of one and one-half fare for the
roun drip by securing the necessary
certificates from DIR. C. W. Moremen,
0cala, commander of Marion County
Post No. 27. Most of the members
of the post going to Orlando intend to
join the motorcade leaving the arm
ory here at two o'clock Sunday aft
ernoon, May 10. All those who are
going IN automobiles should get in
touch with T. d. Lancaster Jr.
The following bulletin has been is
sued by the convention committee of
the Orlando Memorial Post No. 10:
Immediately upon arrival in Or
lando, all service men must report 70
reunion headquarters. chamber OF
commerce building and register.
This is especially important as no
hotel or other reservations can be OBJ
tanned except through regular chan
nels. Also no one will be allowed to
participate IN any of the entertain
ment features unless they have the
badge and consolidated ticket given
upon registration.
Delegates must also report to the
credentials committee at reunion
headquarters, Monday a. m, for ad-
mission tickets to the convention.
Upon registration at headquarters
every visitor will be assigned accom-
modations by the registration COM
mittee. Single men will be taken care
of in the tent city at the fair grounds.
Men with their wives will be assigned
rooms in hotels or in private resi-
dence.
All accommodations must be paid
for at time of registration, except in
case of hotels, where settlement viii
be made direct. The following rates
will apply:
Accommodations in tent city. 81 per
day; accommodations in private resi-
dences, 81 per day; accommodations
in hotels, without bath. s1.50 to 50 per
day; accommodations in hotels, with
bath, 81 to $3.50 per day.
1t is with regret that we find it
necessary to make any charge for the
tent accommodations, but as our ex-
pense in obtaining the tents, cots and
blankets has been over $4,000, we trust
that the nominal charge made win
meet with approval.
All restaurants and cafeterias IN
Orlando have made extra provisions
for accommodating the crowds during
the reunion, but it is obvious that
they cannot expand sufficiently to
properly take care of everyone For
this reason several churches and
other organizations have made ar
rangements to open lunch stands in
various places in the city. Also for
the benefit of those living in the tent
city and all who cannot be accommo-
dated up town. a mess hall has been
established at the fair grounds where
good meals can be obtained at reason
able prices. 1t is hoped that as many
as possible will eat there to relieve
congestion up town.
And remember, If possible. let Us
know beforehand so your reservations
can be arranged IN advance.
