PARIS SINGERS GIFT
TO THE STATE

The Palm Beach Post tells as fol-
lows of the gift of Paris Singer, one
of Joe Earman's friends, to the state:
Paris Singer, head of the Singer
enterprises, which include the Ever
glades Club, has presented to the
Florida State Board of Health COM
plete laboratory equipment. The
equipment will be used in the labora-
tory building now in course of con-
struction for the state board of health

ton. at viii make magnificent ad-
dition to the facilities of the labora-
tory" Joe. L. Earman. president of
the state board of health, said yester-
day when he made acknowledgement
of Mr.. Singers generous gift.
During the late war Mr.. Singer pur-
posed to establish at Palm Beach a
lconvalescent hospital for disabled of
ficers of the United States army. Be-
fore the project was fully completed
the armistice was signed and feeling
now that he could make no better dis
position of the equipment he had as
sembled for the purpose than to turn
it over to the state board of health,
and recognizing the service to be per-
formed by a laboratory at West Palm
Beach, Mr.. Singer communicated his
desire to President Earman last week
in a letter which Mr.. Earman for
warded to Major Ralph N. Green, the
state health officer.
Major Green promptly came here to
accept the gift and did so accept it.
Next Thursday DR.. B. L. Arms, direc-
tor of the bureau of diagnostic labora-
tories, will arrive to dismantle the lab
eratory and remove it from Palm
Beach. The equipment will be stored
Until such time as it can be installed
in the new building on Third avenue.
The equipment, Dr. Green states, is
of the latest type, up-to-date in every
respect, and worth upwards of $4,000.
1t includes very valuable polariscope
which will be of great service to the
board in it's research work. The state
board of health is naturally more
grateful for this splendid gift, and at
its next meeting on February 8, will
express it's appreciation in formal
resolutions, copy of which will be pre-
scented to Mr.. Singer.

All transportation taxes should be re-
psaled IN the revenue revision bill which
Republicans Of the House Ways and
Means Committee are now writing. Rep
resentative Fordney (Mich) said to-day.
He said he would make every effort
to have these taxes eliminated Should
the committee decide against him he
would seek to have ievies reduced by
half during the present fiscal year
and repealed entirely thereafter. Both
freight and passenger taxes should be
stricken from the statute books, in Mr..
Fordney's opinion.
The majority of the committee ap-
parently desires repeal of transporta ton
taxes because such action would in re-
enty reduce present transportation
charges. The demand for revenue is 80
srsat however. that some Representa-
tives feel II will be impossible to repeal
the taxes entirely These Ievies now are

The pressure for repeal of the taxes
from all over the country Is tremendous,
however. From farming sections par
ticularly comes the continued cry that
the high freight charges are preventing
farmers from making fair returns on
their property. 1t Is believed also that
the repeal of the taxes would bring an
increased railroad business that would
help the railroads in their efforts to
get back on their feet.
THE railroad taxes are directly re-
Elected in everything that people must
eat and wear" said Mr.. Fordney.
The taxes are added directly to the
cost OF the goods. Of course. The ad-
dition of the tax to the already high
passenger fares has made travel for
many people virtually impossible"
Mr.. Fordney said also tho committee
Is considering new method of con-
tinuing the so-called luxury taxes,
some of which must be continued. The
new plan is based on the Canadian
system.
At present the tax on their so-called
luxuries applies only TO the amount for
which the article sells above a certain
figure. generally considered to be an
average price. The new plan Is to
make the tax apply to the entire cost
of extremely high priced articles.
Mr.. Fordney believes this would tend
to force the price of many articles
down to q tax exempt figure
People who can afford to pay high
prices for articles that can be obtained
cheaper can afford to pay a higher
tax" he said.
The committee started the prelirnin-
ary work of writing the revenue bill
to-day but virtually no progress was
made 1t Is not expected the bill will
be reported to the House Tor two
weeks at least.
