FLORIDA STATE TAX
MILEAGE DECREASED
Governor Hardee Fixes Rates
Three Quarters of q Mill
Lower Than Last Year

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July 20
The Florida tax milage for state
purposes for 1924 will b. three
fourth Of a mill lower than it was
in 1928, il was disclosed today by
Governor Cary A. Hardee in a
statement fiinxg the miIlage for
this year at 10 ga mills as compar-
ed with ii liz mills last year.
In commenting upon the reduc-
ton of the state millage Governor
Hardee said
II am much pleased that, not
understanding heavy appropriations
made by the legislature, we are
able to reduce the state millage.
The millage last year for state pun
poses was II ~ mills. 1T has been
fixed for the present assessment at
10 ga mills. The Legislature auth
orzed an assessment of seven mills
for general revenue alone. But We
have been able to reduce this to
5 1-2 mills and still maintain sur
ficient balances for the support OF
the state. Our balance just now
is quite large. This is accounted
for by reason of the heavy collec-
tions in the late spring and early
summer and must be used to tide
us over in those periods Of the year
when receipts are light.

about ready for the ash heap. Ten
dency increases to put big estates
gin trust" so heirs can't squander
them.
Take the estate left by the late ].
Pierpont Morgan. He created trust
funds Of about 10 million dollars.
An accounting in court shows that
these funds have yielded almost five
millions income in seven and a half
years. And the principal remains
intact.
The basic purpose of the inhcri-
lance tax is to break up huge for
tunes. This purpose will be frus-
trated until trust funds" are taken
into account. A trust fund is a
scientific method Of perpetuating
wealth.

STIMULATION

If you have an exceptional crav-

rid Of it by eating more vegetables,
according to Lucy Gillett, the nu-
triton expert.
However, sugar and liquor are
Siamese twins. And the desire for
them IS more mental than physical.
If there is any mental or emotional
stimulation in vegetables, it has yet
to be found. People stimulate their
pancreatic gland by sugar or alcohol
to get mental exhilaration rather
than physical.

In our mail we find well-prnted,
classy-looking, sixteen page pamphlet
from the Anheuser-B Busch, Inc, st. Louis,
Mo-. advertising their belief In light
wines and beer for the citizens OF our
country. Isn't it just bit more than TN
American to broadcast dissatisfaction
with the laws of the United States, laws
which were made by the majority OF the
people p Winnebago Enterprise.
We admit this pamphlet is disgusting enough
in many ways. but it is soothing and acceptable
when compared to one received by the state pub
fishers at about the same time as the Anbeuser-
Busch one. The latter pamphlet had the very
cryptic title go to Help and consisted OF a
number of excerpts from the Minneapolis Labor
Review, the official organ of the Trades and La
Dor Assembly of Minneapolis. Each excerpt show
ed that the title was well taken, and that the ma
tional and state governments were the instItu-
tions addressed, either directly or indirectly, By
the words used in said title. The pamphlet IS
issued by the Citizens Alliance of Minneapolis
to rouse Minnesota citizens to the terrible dang
er of letting such propaganda be circulated-anc
a terrible danger it is.
