ASKS QUESTION
PERTAINING To
STATE DIVISION
POST CARD RECEIVED BY
THE CITIZEN ASKS HOW
DOES KEY WEST STAND
ON CANAL ISSUE

How does Key West stand on
the question Of dividing the state
by the construction of q cross
state canal, is the question con-
tanned in a brief post card note
received yesterday as follows:
what was the secret meeting
for in St. Augustine? Are they
joining St. Petersburg in trying
to dig the canal and divide the
state into South Florida and North
florida? Some taxpayers think
it win be good for all concerned,
as South Dakota and North Da-
kota, West Virginia and Virginia.
Al advanced rapidly after a divi-
sion was made. Few does Key
West stand on this question:"
On the diverse SIDE OF the card
the writer has drawn a map of
the state with a line across indi-
eating the proposed canal, and on
the top space these words: "The
st. Petersburg Chamber Of Com
merce has the question UP relative
to dividing the state"
Unfortunately the signature is
blurred and illegiile, hence the
name of the writer cannot be
given.

to find suitable revenue to pay in
creased appropriations, costs Of

He urged heartily in informal
discussions with legislators that
they abandon hesitation over in
creased racing taxes, declaring
that the race tracks can pay more
Tor the privilege they receive with
out suffering.
Another OF the governors sng-
gest:ons-expeeted revenue o.

a so percent increase in liquor
taxes-seemed well on the way
toward fin1l enactment.
The governor has stated posi-
lively he will veto a sales tax, a
new law to tax slot machines, or
{ gambling tax law.
Many legislators had leaned
strongly on the proposed gambling
law as revenue producer until
they heard the governors definite
announcement that he was OPP
posed to it.
He made his opposition to a
sales tax one OF the principal of
his campaign planks. and his OPP
position TO slot machines is equal
