SETTING THE BILL
ON STRAIGHT
Representative Hunter Insists the Err
rOneOus Reports About His Pet
Measure be Corrected
Times -Union)

Tallahassee, May 16.-Mr. Hunter,
chairman of the committee on finance
and taxation, says that the provisions
of the committee bill providing a tax
on gasoline, lighting, lubricating and
fuel oils has been mlsrepresented, par
ticularly that feature taxing fuel oil,
which Is two cents on a barrel of AZ
gallons and not two cents a gallon, as
has been stated. In this connection he
has prepared the following state
ment:
The Hunter gasoline and oil bill
House bill 674) provides for an ex-
else tax on gasoline at the rate of one
cent per gallon. on kerosene at the
rate of one-fourth cent per gallon, sig
nal oil at one-fourth cent per gallon,
while gas oil, crude oil and fuel oil
pay at the rate of two cents per bar
rel of forty-two gallons.
The bill provides that persons desir-
ing to engage in this business must
make application to the comptroller,
stating whether the desire is to be
classed as an interstate distributor .
who is simply a broker, and buys and
sells only in interstate packages. At
the present time, there are no dealers
that might be classed as interstate
dealers in business in this state. This
division would also cover brokers or
other dealers from other states who
might locate in this state temporarily.
Thus it will be seen that this section
OF the law is intended to protect the
legitimate dealer. The, dealer who
will serve the retailer is a "distribH-
tor of gasoline" who simply pays the
license described in the occupation tax
and pays no other license under this
act.
The retailer is a dealer who sells
gasoline or oils in lots of less than
fifty gallons. He pays no license other
than the occupation tax. There is q
fee charged for the registration in
the comptroller's Office.
The tax prescribed is paid to tn.
state treasurer by the person first
selling the gasoline or oil after it ha.
been unloaded from an interstate car
rier and he makes his report to ths
comptroller. There is no further re
port required from any dealer after
the tax has been paid the first time
The distributor of gasoline" 9TH,
wholesaler) pays the tax and furnishe.
a certificate that the tax has been pais
In the same manner as the inspection
tax is now paid. Should a retailel
buy gasoline out of the state upol
which the tax had not been paid, h,
would have to make a return. 1t i
hardly probable that such case woul,
happen. The bill does not create an,
Office or JOB and there will be no ex
pense to she state for collection an,
it will produce a revenue that vii
equal at least two and one-haf mills
thus reducing the millage on the over
burdened taxpaying citizens of thi
state. The majority by which the bill
passed the House would indicate tina
the bill must have considerable meri
to withstand the gruelling attack o
practically days debate.
The bill is drawn under the provis
ion of Section of Article 8, of tn
constitution of Florida.

Wireless Waves Bent by Coast Ii,

WIFeIess waves Bent by Coast Iine&
1t has been suspected for some time
that electric waves are refracted by
the shore lines of large bodies of wa
ter. Recent observations bear out the
theory and seem TO prove that the
amount of refraction varies with the
length of the wave and the angle at
which IL crosses the shore. This Is to
be classed as one of the late discev-
cries, as it was not generally known
during the war.

KNOX SEES PERIL
FACING NATION
Senator Warns Audience to
Battle With Radicals.
NATIONAL SERVICE A NEED
PoIyglot Invasion Threatens to De-
stroy Ideals on Which United States
Was Founded.

Philadelphia, July 5. - Speaking
Hall, the sacred shrine in which Amer
lean libert. had its birth, United
States Senator Philander G. Knox
sounded clarion call of warning to
the nation that the very independence
in which it was rejoicing was in jeO-
pardy.
As our forefathers fought physical
foes and subdued them, the senator
declared, we of the present day must
I do battle with the radicals, foes of the
mind and the heart-and must con-
quer. He implored America not to be
deceived or lulled into the false Sc
curity which brings destruction, de-
claring that sinister enemies of the
country are alert, cruel. active and re-
) lentleSS.
Your welfare, your happiness, your
! liberties are at stake e asserted in
thunderous tcnes that stirred the as
semblage of several thousand. There
| has been ntruSted to our keeping
the most priceless heritage which the
uSCS lidfC IpOu
or people, our duty to our fathers, to
our children, and to our God demands
that we transmit it, intact, pure and
undefiled to the unborn myriads of
our pOSterity."
Though emphasizing in no uncer-
tain terms the warning of the dangers
of the radical forces that beset the

not pessimistic. In fact, he was opti-
mistic as to the future, provided that
America realizes it's predicament and
places itself on guard. Concluding
his oration, he made plea that with
vigilance and devotion let us, all unit
ed, serve our country" We may not
be able TO make our service cOnSpicu-
Gus, he reminded, but we can certain
ly make it useful.
Senator Knoxs address was the
highlight of the city's official celebra-
tions, which, by reason of the hallow-
ed ground on which it was held, over
shadowed not only all the other cele-
brations in this city, but those
throughout the country. Senator Knox
said in part:
Mighty ferments are at work
rs geyernmentally- and socially.
Just as the co-mingIing of members of
different races from different climes
with different customs IF life, exposes
each of the individuals To new and
strange bodily ailments and diseases,
so the intimate actions and reactions
of diverse race members bring novel
theories OF government and social eco
nOmic life. We're their new theories

pinesS under them, we might hope that
adjustment thereof to our environment
would make them tolerable. But such
were not the facts.
These strange doctrines come pri-
marily from races unskilled in self
government, untaught in the funda
mentals of free government, unedu-
Gated in the basic discord between
liberty and license. Their doctrines
are born of the ills OF the land from
which they came. They are radical
remedies, sometimes self-annihilating
to those using them, for ailments un-
familiar TO our system of government
and life. Bolshevism may be the
heaven of the theorist crushed under
the weight Of cruel cZarism, but it
bears no true relation to the inconse-
quential defects of free government.
Yet there are those among us who
deny the very basis of our social or
der, the very foundation of our whole
system
