public life, but he is efficient in the
bargain. He possesses a profound know
ledge of state government.
The campaigns chief issue was one of
efficiency. Smiths claim was that he ran
the state for S44,000,00O less during his
1919-1920 term than Governor Miller did
during 1921 and 1922.
Smiths pet project during his first term
was to obtain an efficient, economical and
scientific administration. He ried to put
over the reform of reoorganizing the
state government, and after getting it
partly over, the plan was thrown in the
discard.
he started out to do-tc simplify the gov
eminent by reducing its 100 odd agencies
to IS compact departments.
AN amendment to the constitution"
he says, would provide for scientific
executive budget, something that the re-
publican party thought good in the nation
but were unwilling to give to the state"
A Proud Father
Smith was educated in the parochial
schools and Manhattan College and Ford
ham University. He is married and has
five children. His eldest son was 81 this
year and cast his first vote for his father
after having made number speeches
for him during the campaign.
During his two years out of the gov
ernor's mansion Smith has been chairman
of the beard Of the United States Truck
ing Corporation. He went into it, he said,
because he likes the trucking business
and as a boy used to hang around stables
along the water front.
Il was offered big pay by banks and
insurance companies" Smith said, when
he picked the trucking business as his
first job off the public payroll. Il didn't
give these offers much consideration be-
cause they provided typically retired
statesmen's jobs. They would require me
to capitalize my position and my friend
ships couldn't do that

Counsel for the defense contended that
while the liquor was found in the barn
which belonged to Sutton, that it was
there without his knowledge and consent
and did not constitute possession. Sem
tence was deferred.
G. F. Rahone, 120 East Belmont street
was acquitted of possessing liquor. The
government did not prove to the satisfac
ton Of the jury that a quart of booze
wrapped in old. coat beneath Rabones
house actually belonged to and was in his
possession. Gordon Broome represented
the defendant.
Sixteen persons named in two indict-
ments alleging importation of Chinese
and liquor from Cuba will be arraigned
today. This is the case of c. p. Moore
and Is others in which the auxiliary
schooner Success features. 1t was aboard

Moore when the violations are alleged to
have been committed. that both liquor
and Celestials are alleged to have been

ida where the cargo was met by smaller

and a trial during the persent term. pro-
viding the demurrer is overruled by the

STATE FEDERAL
TAXES REDUCED
Huge Savings Under New Law
Indicated-Big Figure in Can
celIations and Decreases.

Reductions in Federal taxes, which
are effective for the current year, Will
save the taxpayers Of the Florida dis
trict the enormous sum Of $2,0S4's93.OO'
according to a special survey Of the can
cellations and decreases in tax rates
provided by the Revenue Act OF 1921,
completed recently by Internal Revenue
Collector D. T. Gerow.
THE reduction in taxes for 1922 as
provided by the Revenue Act Of 1921, Is
approximately as follows:
Income Tax ...............'..S olS'Olo.OO
Transportation Tax .......... 6l7' $1,000
Sales and Luxury Tax .-.....' 0o4'56S.oO
While the transportation, sales and
luxury tax cancellations became elIec-
tive January 1st of this year, the IN
come tax reductions covers 1921 as well
as 1922, and thereafter.
One Big Feature.
IAN outstanding feature of the report
is the fact that during the four years the
transportation tax was operative, the
Florida district paid to Uncle Sam 81
51I, 2314 As in transportation and miscel-
laneous sales taxes divided as follows:
Freight and Express .......S 934,S2O2.4l
Miscellaneous Sales ......... 5,O4l5S9.oZ
This means that in the last four years
$50, 945, $4,000 was expended in the Flor
ida district for transportation charges
alone. Of this amount $31, $50, $4,000 was
for freight charges, and SIG, 1S5, $4,000 for
pa ssenger fares and Pullman berths. This
does not include transportation charges
that were prepaid in some other district.
Even the tax and passenger fares paid by
the thousands of tourists coming here
from outside points are not taken into
account.
Tax Deductions.
"Of the SS13.O15.00 income deductions
s6O9, 1920 is distributed among 21,001
taxpayers with incomes of less than $5,-
600 90, and s203253.00 applies to larger
incomes and surtaxes. The new eXemp-
tions allowed heads Of families and for
dependents is now $2,500.00 and $4,000,
which means an increased exemption for
a married couple with one dependent Of
$4,000, or tax saving of $500.
1.-THE survey stressed the fact that the
relief afforded by the decreased taxation
affects every person in the Florida Dis
trict who travels pays for freight, sends
an express package, buys a Pullman
berth, takes a drink of soda water, or
who has a taxable income. In other
words the relief afforded reaches all
classes.
Although the Florida office faces a
tax reduction of more than two million
dollars annually, Collector Gerow de-
clared that the total collections for the
coming fiscal year will not be materially
affected. He predicted that the marked
expansion in every class of business in
the Florida district will furnish sufficient
new taxes to easily absorb the two mil
lions wiped out by the last revenue act.

HARDEECALLS
ON PEOPLE TO
AID RED CROSS
Support Organi-
cation in It's Work,
Says the Gov
ernOr.

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 7.--(SpeciaD-
The following proclamation was issued by
Governor Hardee today:
ITO the People of Florida:
Annually since 1917, the American
Red Cross has called upon it's members to
renew their allegiance to the interests
of our common humanity and to that
service which we owe our fellowman.
THE American Red Cross during the
war performed its duties and discharged
it's obligations faithfully under the terms
of the Congressional charter which called
it into being. l am pleased to call atten-
ton Of the people to the 1922 Roll Call,
which will be held between Armistice
Day, November II, and Thanksgiving
Day, November 80.
THE President of the United States
has proclaimed November 18th, as Red
Cross Sunday, inviting all the people to
unite with their spiritual leaders in OBJ
servance of the day in manner which
may promote a renewed conservation tc
the gospel of service based upon divine
injunction. AS Chief Executive of Florida
am taking the liberty of adding my in
vitation to that the President.
To-day. while we pursue fairly we'll
ordered life, 900 and more Christians
are being fed and sheltered by the Red
Cross in Europe. These Christians, refu-
gees from Asia Minor, driven from their
homes by the Turks, would starve unless
some one was ready in the emergency to
take care OF them. The American Red
Cross is dealing with this emergency in
Europe and we should support them in
this work
Closer home. where disaster looms
larger by its proximity, the Red Cross is
also doing a wonderful work. Figures
placed before me show that mere than
$500 900 was spent during 1922 in Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina
Tennessee. Alabama, Louisiana and Miss
issippi by the Red Cross in relieving suf-
fering caused by disasters and in caring
for disabled ex-service men in govern
meht hospitals.
In less spectacular fields. but, equally
as important as concerns the permanent
welfare Of our state, the Red Cross Is
tirelssly working throughout the year In
public health nursing, in service to civil
lians, and disabled eX-services men, in
first aid and life saving instruction, the
Red Cross is conserving the lives Of our
citizens and helping to better conditions.
The Junior Red Cross is instiliing ideals
of world service in our children and teach
ing relationship which should make for
better international relations in the flu
ture.
1T is our duty to maintain this service.
In the interests OF humanitarian oelisa-
