ALL YEARS LEAP
In OLD PROVENCE
(By Associated Press)

AVIGNON, France, June
16.-By an ancient custom
still fully observed, every
year is leap year for Proven
cal girls.
On the principle that the
the way to a mans heart lies
through his stomach, the
maiden bakes a cake called
"fougasse." This she places
with a jug of wine outside
her home, some old houses
having inches in the wall for
the purpose.
The favored swain eats the
cake and drinks the wine,
leaving in its place a silken
scarf. The girl wears this to
church the following Sum
day, and a few weeks later
the wedding bells ring out.
Should she change her
mind, she jilts the youth by
offering him a handful of
oats.

CAWTHON MAKING
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
FOR NOMINATION
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION CHANGES HIS
TACTICS IN CAMPAIGN OF
SECOND PRIMARY
Especial 10 che Citizen,

TALLAHASSEE, June 16.-W.
s. Cawthon, state superintendent
OF public instruction, said here
today he had yielded to the in
sistence of friends and will wage
an active campaign for the demo-
cratic nomination in the second
primary:
This announcement is an I'M
usual bit Of news in view of the
fact that Cawthon has held a
political Office for IA years with
out engaging in politics. Appoint
ed to the office he now holds in
1922, Cawthon has remained at
his desk in his office here in and
out of campaign years without
making one campaign speech or
issuing one piece of campaign
literature.
Even this year, with five en-
tries in the race for superinten-
dent, CawthOn poid his qualifica-
ton fees and kept on working.
While sound wagons were blazen-
ing their messages to the voters
and while the streets of the cities
were Uttered with printed mat
ter, Cawthon spent no money and
exerted no personal effort to re-
tain his position. His stand is
that the people employ him for
a certain job and it is his duty
to stick to that job.
Depending solely upon repu-
tation for rugged honesty and
devotion to duty, Cawthon wealth
cred the intensive campaign of
four opponents and enters the
second primary for the nomina-
ton.
The state superintendent rose
from obscurity by his own efforts
and obtained an excellent educa-
ton. He is an alumnus OF the
University of Florida and has
studied at other leading institu-
tons.
In his career as an educator he
has taught in schools ranging in
size from one teacher rural units
to the leading high schools and
the university.
Cawthon was one of the first
to advocate a definite state fund
for the adequate payment of
teachers salaries and he favors
complete separation of the school
fund from the general revenue
fund.

Oil Interests Also Seek
ing To Obtain Support
Favorable To Their Op-
erations
By PRESTON GROVER
INV A~Aacfnteh Gs-e@sk

WASHINGTON, June 16.-
Mining and oil prospecting inter
ests, caught in the PING of the
new tax bill pending in congress,
carried TO the Cleveland Repuk-
lican convention their fight 4 for
permission to revise their cor
Forate capitalization so the pinch
wouldn't hurt so much.
They are non-partisan about
their desires. T ey will go to
Philadelphia also seeking a plank
urging relief.
More particularly they want
an amendment to the bill giving
mere favored excess profits and
capital stock tax treatment to
new corporations, such as mine
development companies and indie
pendent oil prospectors, while the
concerns are getting on their
feet.
To illustrate their view, cOnsid-
er a mining company developing
a gold property with a 100000
capitalization. (And 100000
car :talizat;on doesn't always
mean the company has that much
money!
How Plan Works
The operators face this diem
ma. If they capitalize at ST.
100000 they must pay the cap
ital stock tax of S1.4O per ST.
600 on the whole million year aft
er year, although actual company
assets may be much less.
Yet il they capitalize for only
SfU0 900 and then strike ore max
ing the property worth $1,000,000
they must ray an excess profits
tax on all but 10 percent of the
increase. This tax ranges from
S to 20 percent.
Again, if the mine company
seeks to reray money borrowed
originally, and to pat aside more
to build mill a tax dundee the
house plan) of as much as 4212
percent is al.plied CT all let aside
for either purpose.
Senator Pittman CT Ne 7ada pro-
posed an amendment which would
permit corporations every two
years to increase or reduce their
capital valuation. Thus a prof
it. say, OF $10G, 900, which would
he 100 percent on a capitaliza-
ton of 100000. could be chang
cd into profit OF only 10 percent
(and no excess profits tarl " in
creasing capitalization to $1,000
0OG.
Revision Protested
Immediately" senate protest
went up That big corporations
then could juggle their capital in
times of tat or lean earnings so
as to minimize excess profits and
car:tal STOCK taxec.
Pittman proposed then that
corporations be permitted to re-
value their capital only during
taeii' first three years. This, he
said. would protect 1000 new
mining compan es N the west and
an untold n'Imcer of independent
oil companies.
Without some slch protection.
:aid. no one ~'c..ld invest in mine
development. Senate foes of his
amendment in ;s.ed capital al
wfys could be fornd.
The senate f1oN ned on the
proposition, although Pittman
arered that protection of these
amall minin- and independent oil
Operators offered a means of
getting small industry started.
