SHALL WE EXEMPT HoMEsTEADs
(Ocala Bannerl

It will be year before we vote on the
ton, but there has been some discussion ON
the project, and many people are already
forming their opinions about it.
The proposal is in the form of an
amendment to the state constitution which
would provide that homesteads valued at
$4,000 less would be tax-free thereafter
The idea, of course sounds aIluring,
offhand, to practically everybod particu-
larly those who own or hope to own homes
in the affected group. But it is not quite
SO alluring as it sounds.
AS President O..P. Swope of the state
realtors points out, this amendment isn't
all it's cracked up to be- It creates mis-
conception.
Those who own those $5,000-and-les,
homes won't be freed from taxes at ALL
They will still have to pay city taxes, of
course. In addition, there is very great
possibility that the courts will discover the
homes in question will continue liable to a
pro-rata share payment on bonds and other
contracts undertaken prior to the passage
OF the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it pass. For ex-
ample, a $4,000 homestead in Marion coun-
ity would continue liable to all assessments
for all outstanding road bond issues, and
for school bond issues, ETC. $50 -
There is still another argument against
this proposed amendment. 1t won't be
equitable. In fact it will be special priv
ilege sort of action. Why throw the tax
burden theoretically falling on all home
owners off the shoulders of those in the
lower class group onto the shoulders of the
other group? Why penalize man for
building home that will be assessed at
more than $4,000?
Still further, the passage of this
amendment might virtue wreck whatever
remains of our .ad valorerh tax system. 1t
would create havoc, and Immediately bring
about an impossible situation that would
call for speedy readjustment.
We feel that the present tax system
has very thoroughly broken down, and we
feel that the homestead tax exemption
will not mend it any.

GAS DANGER IN GARAGE

We'read frequently in press dispatch
es of SOMEONE meeting death from the car
bon monoxide gas from the exhaust of his
automobile. usually in closed garage.
Warnings concerning this danger have
been issued by the Public Health Service.
Especially in the colder sections ofithe eoun-
try are these accidents likely to happen,
where drivers sometimes letithe engine run
for time to warm up, before driving
out of the garage.
The smallest engine will give off
enough gas in.two or three minutes TO make
the air of an ordinary garage dangerous.
while larger engines will naturally contain
mate the air in less time
This gas is almost odorless and by
a peculiar effect on The red corpuscles
of the blood it causes death by par
alysis of the respiratory organs. While the
victim loses consciousness gradually. he
may be paralyzed to such an extent that he
is unable to escape. by the time he becomes
aware of his danger.
The only safe plan is to avoid running
an automobile engine at all in any place
not we'll ventilated.

A SENSIBLE JUDGE

One of the distressing results of send
ing men to prison Unfortunately for all
sorts of offenses is that it often works ter
1ible hardship on those dependent upon
them. Judge Nova of Brooklyn, is one
who recognizes this, and in certain cases
adopts practical means to protect innocent
victims of the laws operation.
When Frank Bruno, who earns $50
a week, was brought before him recently
and pleaded guilty to having two wives,
one with two children and the other witch
one, the Judge said:
Il would gladly send you to Sing Sing,
but your two wives and their children
would be the sufferers. You Will pay the
wife with two children $40 week and the
wife with one child SIS
Thus five persons, who would have
been deprived of support through sending
Bruno to the penitentiary, were provided
for, while the culprit viii be constantly re-
minded of his offense and is not likely to
repeat it.
That appears to be justice tempered
with common sense

GOLD POLICY OF
ADMINISTRATION
MUCH DISCUSSED
ADVANCEMENT IN PRICE FOR
WHICH RFc WILL BUY NET
AL CAUSES SPECULATION
BY MANY IN WASHINGTON
BY HERBERT PEUMmER
any Ansaelnted a,Fesal

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-
Those who have watched the func-
Itioning of the Administrations
gold policy are specializing as to
just how much further the price
at which the RFC will buy the
metal is to be advanced.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma,
ardent inflationist, contends the
purchase policy should be pressed
until the price reaches Saba an
ounce, or double its statutory
level.
Another group, with which is
aligned the Committee for the
Nation, urges that the price be
advanced 70 per cent to $36.l7
an ounce. One of the Presidents
financial advisers, Professor War
rem, has said of this figure that it
would bring quick recovery,
quickly put men back to work, and
quickly balance national budgets"
Then there is the conservative
group which counsels careful ham
ding of the situation so as to
avert anything like violent changes
which might lead to speculative
lhysteria.
Seeking The Honest Dollar
1t is significant, perhaps, that
at the recent White House con-
ference on the monetary situation
both sides were represented
around the table.
Senator Thomas plan of a
maximum slash of so per cent
from the present 1922 grains of
gold in the dollar, the Oklahoman
believes, would be a direct way
to make raw and processed COM
modities worth more money.
+ The theory is that while the
value of the dollar would be
lowered to him who has it, a
greater number of dollars would
be in the hands of those who
have labor. service and products
to sell.
! It is an effort to get back the
Lso-called '.honest dollar"-that
financial term coined by organized
agriculture.
i Thomas and his school of cur
Erency thought contend this plan
will restore the 1926 price level,
(which is said to correspond with
1.-The level at which the great part
of existing debts were contracted.
It's Not All Clear
! Not everyone understands the
policy now being followed by
the administration.
i To find just what the President
has in mind some return TO the
third of last July and review the
sensational message Roosevelt
sent to the world economic con-
ference at London.
i LET me be frank in saying"
he declared, "that the United
States seeks the kind of a dollar
which a generation hence will
have the same purchasing power
and sdebt-paying power as the dol
lar value we hope to attain in the
near future"
