He knows his own abilities; and, not
being conceited, he is equally aware of
his own weaknesses. He has the happy

Finally, he is a man you can listen

You are sure that he speaks only after
due reflection. He does not talk to the

Such a man is safe. Important duties

Hits Tax PAYERS,

Were the approximately three miles
OF railway between Panama City and
ST Andrews abandoned, Bay county
would lose some $4,000 to $4,000 of
its assessable railway property. This
would mean a corresponding decrease
IN the taxes of those owning the rail-
road with a. like increase to be pro-
rated among the small tax payers. AS
the road is owned, nearly entirely by
Mr.. Keith, it would be only shifting
the burden from the wealthy to the
poor.
Mr.. Keith's officials here state that
it is going to be, done, and if it were
left to Bay county methods of justice
and law, 1t might be; but this is one
case that these parties will not have
the opportunity to juggle 1t would
appear that the small tax payers had
been mulched to the limit already. in
this matter of the big ones getting
off with assessments that in no way
represent the property they own. But
this railway abandonment brings up
one more method by which the cards
can be shuffled and the poor mans
taxes increased. How long, Oh Lord,
are the people of Bay county going to

THE DEPENDABLE MAN

There is a type OF man who is built
for success. He may have genius or
just ordinary talent-no matter The
point is that he always arrives" While
others plod weary way, he gets ahead
Those who take note of his progress
often cannot account for it, SO they
say he is "lucky." Or they whisper il
about that he has pull with the boss =
But the secret is deeper than that He
is a man who is absolutely dependable.
Make yourself dependable and you
come as near being Indispensable as any
OF US can hope to be. You will be the
last one your employer will wish to part
with, and the first one he will want to
promote to greater responsibilities
But do not be deceived. Dependable
ness is a rare accomplishment-so rare
that every executive is on the lookout
for Ii wherever it may be found. 1t can
not be acquired by wishing for 1t. 1t is
the prize that comes from self-mastery.
What is a dependable man? You can
tell him by these ear-marks:
First. he is one that you can rely upon
TO do his own thinking. Business requires
thinking, and someone must do ii. The
dependable man never sidesteps his
share nor tries to pass IL along to some
,,ne else. You always find him on the
alert. His brains do not fit away on
vacations, leaving the job without a
guardian.

Sugar Cane Grows Apaee.

The development of the sugar cane
industry in Florida has not subsidized
with the drop in price of sugar. AS
we have stated before the retail price
of sugar was cents pound when we
started advocating the syrup and sugar
industry in Florida two and a half
years ago and it is above that price
now and will likely remain above that
figure for some time.
Sugar cane has been found to be an
easily grown crop and a comparatively
sure crop and the hundreds of people
who have planted it for the first time
in the past two years are convinced
that it is one of the products they
can depend on for certain money and
many will add it to their varied crops
in the years to come.
The past year saw the sugar cane
crop vastly increased in Florida, and
there is still strong indications that
the present year will see the yield in
creased from so to 100 per cent. Of
course it is going to be necessary 10
change our tactics somewhat in order
to handle this amount of cane and the
products from it. We will need a
number of standardized syrup mills
of a capacity capable of handling from
200 to 500 acres of cane in each COM
munity.
We will require some sugar mills
/ in the southern part of the state to
take care of the immense acreage OF
cane that is now being grown and
planted in the Everglades and along
the prairie sections of the lower East
Coast. The Pennsylvania Sugar COM
pany is now installing an experimental
sugar mill in which complete sugar
tests will be made this year and in the
meantime this progressive company is
proceeding with the clearing and prep
aration of thousands of acres along
the Miami canal on which they will
plant most of the seed cane raised the
past year on about 600 acres.
The Cuban situation is clearing very
slowly and the opportunity for Florida
to establish itself as u sugar produc-
ing state never was better than at the
present time. The financiers of the
state and the larger land interests
should bend their energies toward this
enterprise and assist the development
of an industry that will bring many
millions to Florida in the years to
come. There are so few sections OF
the United States capable of producing
sugar that it seems foolish for our peo-
pie longer to neglect to provide for
the production of this necessary food
product compelling F'loridians to be-
come dependent on other countries for
this essential-Times-U

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. Success
has marked the latest development of
CO. operative courses at the Univer-
sity Of Cincinnati, one of the fore
most municipal universities of the
country. This is in the field of COM
merce. The cooperation is between
college and business.
Banks, commercial houses and large
industrial companies, report satisfac-
tion with system that combines
practical application with theoretical
training.
The original cooperative system of
the University of Cincinnati was in
dustrial 1t was established by Her
man Schneider, dean of the college
of engineering. During the past ten
years educators throughout the world
have watched the great development
of the system here as applied to in
struction in engineering.
The basic principle is quite simple
two weeks study in the college is
alternated with two weeks in shops
and plants all the year round.
Due to the success of it's innovation
the engineering college has expanded
from a department with a staff OF
four to a college with so professors
and instructors. Attendance has
grown from 81 students to 600, not in
Guiding 400 night students.
The cooperative engineering course
was started with only II firms and
factories cooperating. There are now

There is no competition between the

Income Tax
Facts You
Should KnOlU
i, Exemptions for All.

Not every married person is entitled to
the $1,000 exemption. The claim is
dependent upon whether man and wife
are living together within the meaning
of the revenue act. In the absence of
continuous residence together. whether
a man or woman is living with wife or
husband depends upon the character of
the separation.
If occasionally and temporarily the
wife is away on visit or the husband
is away on business, the joint home be-
ing maintained, the $4,000 revenue ex-
emption applies. Unavoidable absence of
a wife or husband at a sanatorium on
account of illness does not preclude a
claim for the exemption. If, however,
the husband voluntarily and continu-
ously makes his home at one place and
the wife at another they are not living
together within the meaning of the in
come tax laws regardless of their per-
sonal relations. In case of separation
by mutual agreement each must make
return of income of 81, 900 or more. The
same rule applies in case of divorce or
legal separation. A maid or widow not
the head of a family and without de-
pendehts is entitled only to a $4,000 ex-
emption.
The status of a taxpayer on the last
day of the taxable year determines the
amount of his exemptions. If on De-
cember 81. 1920, he was married and
living with his wife he may claim the
$4,000 exemption, although the marriage
may have taken place on December 80.
If on December 80 he became widower.
he is entitled only to the $1,000 allowed
a single person unless the head of a
family.
Thousands. of letters passed in cores
pondence last year between the Bureau
of Internal Revenue and persons claim
ing an exemption of 81, 600 as head of a
family. Circumstances surrounding each
individual case determine largely wheth-
err a person is entitled to such exemp-
ton. The fixing of his status decides.
in many instances. whether his income
is taxable or nontaxable. In either
event, if his net income for 1920 was
$1,000 or more if single. and s., 600 or
more if married. he must file a return.
a head of a family is defined by treas
ury regulations as "a person who actu-
ally supports and maintains in one
household one or more individuals who
are closely connected with him by blood
relationship by marriage or by adoption.
or whose right to exercise family control
and provide for these dependents is based
upon some moral or legal obligation" a
married person living with husband or
wife in addition to the $40 exemption
allowed such persons. can not claim a
81. 600 exemption as the head of a fam
lily, irrespective OF the question of the
support of others of the Household.
