A WRONG IMPRESSION
ABOUT THE TEN-MILL
TAX AMENDMENT

Tampa, Oct. 31.-There seems to be
q misunderstanding on the part of
large number of individuals in regard
tc the proposed amendment to the
state constitution regarding voting of
millage for school purposes, says A.
3. Johnson, superintendent of public
instruction of Orange county, in an
interview furnished the Tampa Civil
tan Club, for use in its campaign to
inform voters as to just what the
amendment means, and what it will
do to relieve the critical situation
facing the schools in many sections of
the state.
"The Importance of the amndment
is undervalued," says Superintendent
Johnson; "and / understand it is be-
ing fought secretly and silently by the
enemies of the public school system.
"The Importance of the amendment
does not make it obligatory to assess
the full ten mills upon all personal
and real property of the state and
county, but merely gives the special
tax district voters the privilege if
they so desire to levy from one to
ten mills for their own particular
needs.
ats non-passage would mean that
is crowded districts, where the schools
are inadequate to properly care for
the pupils, that they shall continue
to have to conduct schools with i'm
proper buildings, unframed and un-
prepared teachers and super-crowded
conditions, which are menace to
health, and undoubtedly will retard
the progress and growth of the com
munity. I'have in mind certain dis.
trict that under the present valuation
cannot raise sufficient funds by taxa.
tion to properly care for their chill.
dren. Won't you come to their re-
lief?
parents in this day and age do not
properly control their children, but
expect them to be disciplined a
school. This would require more
male principals than we have at pres
ent or can expect to have unless WI
can secure more funds to induce mel
to leave their present occupations
and adopt the teaching profession.
"By all means let US put our shoul
der to the wheel and see that thi
amendment is carried at the Novem
ber election"

FRANCE COMES BACK
AT THE vOLSTEAD LAW

New York, Oct. 31-M. Jules JUS
serand, foreign ambassador to the
United States, on his arrival yester-
day asserted that in the face of the
recent bone dry ruling of Attorney
General Daugherty, which prohibits
carriage Of any liquors on vessels en-
tering American ports, France can
abide only by the laws of France. He
added, however, that no immediate
action would be taken by the French
embassy in Washington until the su-
prerne court had passed upon the rul-
ing.
"French ships are a part Of the
territory of France" said the ambas-
sador, "and / believe that you proper
ly claim your carriers are part of the
United States wherever they may be.
The laws Of France, passed several
years ago in our parliament, state
that one-haf bottle of wine must Be
served to the sailors on French ves-
sells and q full bottle to the stokers.
As such wine contains probably 90
per cent of water, can hardly see
that it is dangerous for men on ships
to drink.
@Further, our eminent doctors
maintain that wines of such alcoholic
content are beneficial rather than
harmful; that is their right of opinion
and we shall uphold it. If your ply
sicians say otherwise, that is the
business Of your country"

HOW THEY Do 1T

Jacksonville, Oct 3O.-The genus
motorist wrinkled his brows, looked
wise, pocketed two cents and specu-
lated behind his wheel as he drove
from filling stations yesterday. At
the stations the gasoline price had
dropped two cents over night, bring
ing it to 21 cents a gallon. The motor
list wondered in the light of some re-
cent events if a rate war hovered
near.
At the corporation agencies it was
affirmed that the 21 cents had been
fixed over night Such a reduction is
unusual here in that the price has
only come down one cent in previous
drops.
A few days ago word came from
Tallahassee that the much discussed
gasoline tax law had been interpreted
not to apply to gasoline brought into
the state and disposed of through the
refining companies own filling sta
tions. Obviously, such an exemption
gives this type of filling station an
advantage over the privately owned
stand. The privately owned station
has the onerous job of passing on to
the ultimate consumer the one cent
tax. The tax applies to wholesale
turn-overs but the wholesaler, it is
generally admitted passes it on to the
retailer, who has no use for it in his
home, so he passes it on to the con-
sumner. When the wholesaler brings
his gas into the state and sells ii
through his own filling station, the
tax is eliminated.
One or two things must happen to
lplace the corporation-owned station
and the privately-owned one on equal
basis if the reported Interpretation OF
the gasoline tax law obtains.
The corporation station must either
charge the consumer a tax that does
not exist for the station or else the
wholesale department of the corpora
tion must absorb the tax and not pas:
it on to the retailer
The motorist had food for though'
when he noticed the privately-ownet
station was still selling gasoline a
25 cents. Usually these dealers fol
low in the line of price reduction.

REGULAR BOARDER WITH
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Tampa, Oct. 31.-Henry jackson,
negro, has been forcing the federal
government to feed and clothe him
for at least twelve years, according
to HI. G. Reese, postofice inspector
here. He explains that the negro has
invented a successful method of get
ting into the federal prison in Atlanta
and that as soon as he completes
serving one sentence he repeats the
performance and enters the peniten-
tiary for another term. The inspec-,
tor states that every few weeks
Henry is forced to the inconvenience
of breaking again into the prison fold
but that it never is matter of more
than thirty days, as his system is
perfect.
"Henry has been living off the gov
ernment for at least twelve years
that l know Of" said Reese. "He has
only one arm and doesn't like'to work,
so he evolved scheme of keeping al
most continually in the Atlanta pen
itentiary. Henry simply goes to a
postoffice, takes a brick and smashes
in several lock boxes. He then stands
around with the stolen mail conspicu-
ously displayed on his person waiting
for someone to come along and arrest
him.
"Henry smashed three boxes in
Lakelandy on October 1 and the fol-
lowing day walked into the office of
the chief of police of Port Tampa, ex-
hibited several pieces of mail and
confessed that he had committed the
crime.
"The trouble at Lakeland" the in
spector continued, twas that Henry
got tired of waiting for somebody to
arrest him there and took a train to
Port Tampa, where he had to confess
to get in Jail
"On August "a, 1917, Henry broke
into the Tampa postofice the same
Iway. He also had served time in At.
lanta for breaking into the DeLan6
postoffice and for breaking lock boxe:
in a postoffice on the East Coast. Tht
last postoffice he robbed before that il
Lakeland was in Virginia. Henry ha:
broken into so many postofices and
has been locked up so often that h
doesn't know himself how many time:
he has been arrested"
In Jail here Henry anxiously asked
Reese if there was ter moi fedora
court in Jacksonville in November
An affirmative reply brought gril
from the prisoner. Reese explained
: that Henry desired to return to At
lanta in time for Christmas dinner.
: Reese was in Atlanta when tele
graphed that three lock boxes in tn
Lakeland office had been robbed
When he had read the telegram h
told the supervising inspector tina
1 ''that man is Henry Jackson and IT
going to Tampa to prove it.
He did.

PLANS WORK FOR 1922

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-"The yeal
of 1922 will be the biggest the
American Legion has yet experlenc-
ed" announced William F. Deegan,
state commander of the Legion, in
his New Years greeting message to
the posts from state headquarters
I'VE face the year stronger than
ever and we find ourselves facing
problems bigger than ever We are
now going to roll up our sleeves, cast
aside petty details and head straight
for the goal.
"The disab ed man Is still en-
tangled in red tape. Hospitals are
still needed in this state and others
for the care of tubecular and mental
cases. Thousands of our comrades
are still out of employment and fac
ing prlvation with their wives and
children. The eX-serVice man is still
without properly adjusted compen-
sation.
The radical un-American is still
working hard to undermine the in
stitutions of our democratic govern
ment and to substitute the soviet
form of misgovernment. More and
more tolerance is encouraging the
fOreign-bred agitator to greater and
more open violations of our hospi-
tality.
"Our answer must be simple, di-
rect and forceful. We must insist,
first, that our wounded and disabled
comrades are cared for. We contin-
ually hear the cry that Nothing is
too good for the wounded and dis
abled' and yet We find nothing being
done beyond perfunctory aid from
inadequate bureaus. We must insist
that economic conditions of those
who lost two years OF prosperity
through their service, be bettered.
We must insist that America be kept
wholly American In It's form of gov
ernment.
I'VE cannot accomplish these re-
suits without solid and steady
growth in our membership. Renew
your dues at once; bring in your
buddies; talk the Legion wherever
you go: make the ex-service man
outside the Legion see that this is
his own organization for the express
sion of his feelings; encourage the

in Oregon, according to a report pre-.
pared by Sam A. Kozer, secretary OF

During 1920 there were 103,7SO
