press and by individuals, and he
replied that he had not BEEN in
formed when this would be done.
However he decided to ask of
those who had just arrived from
Miami and did PROFOUND the ques-
ton. He received reply to the
effect that neither Mr.. Peterson
nor Mr.. Ambrose had been given
any information about this phase
OF the situation.
Mr.. Moreno did say that he un-
derstood that o. A. Sandquist,
director of the Miami district, ex-
pected to come to Key West later
in the week and would, probably,
at that time outline the changes
which are to be made.

Hodges Sees No Need
In Claiming Exemption
OnHomestead Property

filing OF application for exemp-
til according to Senator Hodg-
es," the states 1900 boards and
commissions, all of which have
authority to levy ad valorem tax
es, are apparently originating
every conceivable excuse TO levy
special taxes ON hOmesteads. A
recent decision of the supreme
court warned against such prae-
tees by indicating that adoption
of the homestead amendment was
command from the people to
cut expenses"
Senator Hodges said further.
81 expect to continue a watchful
interest for the rights of home
owners under the provision of the
homestead exemption until the
homes of all the people Of this
state are actually free from the
ever out-stretched hand Of the
tax gatherers and until those who
originally opposed this amend
ment is now as much a part of
our state constitution as the Bill
of Rights. and IL there is no other
way to make the exemption on
homes effective, then Il can be
made complete and effective By
abolishing the entire ad val0reni
tax system.
'If the people by further con
stitutional amendment desire 70
change the entire ad valorem TAX
system they can through the leg
islature afterwards setup some
equitable and economical system
of taxing and at the same time re-
lieve the taxpayer from the
strsngle hold around their neeks

boards, political raeketeers and
political favorites. And want Il
known now am in hearty ae-
cord with Governor Cone In his

decent, reasonable but far-Feach-

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. 26.--
Senator VIM. C. Hodges. who led
the fight in 1884 to exempt home
steads from taxation and, as presi-
dent of the senate, sponsored leg
islation in 1885 broadening the
scope of homestead exemption,
scored continued efforts to multi
fly the amendment, in a statement
released here today.
The senator said at the same
tine that if this monkey business
by the special interests keeps up
they may find that the entire adj
valorem tax system has been
abolished because the people are
in no mood to have their home
stead exemption nullified by the
juggling around of those who de-
sire to keep their taxes down at
the expense of the people who own
and occupy homes.
Senator Hodges said, "Newspa-
pers throughout the state have
recently carried statements or adj
vertisements warning home own
ers that they must make applica-
ton for exemption, otherwise
taxes will be levied against their
homes. The people, by a 3 to ]
vote, adopted constitutional
amendment exempting their homes
from all taxation and why they
should be subjected to a lot of
expensive red tape is more than
l can understand. do not think
it is necessary to claim exemption
at all in order to have home
steads, which come within the
scope of the Amendment and
within the definition of the
amendment, tax free because it is
but reasonable to suppose that
which is exempted by the consti-
tuition is off the tax books once
and for all as long as that amend
ment stays a part of the consti-
tuition"

Those Who We're Tagged

terday

Practically every walk of life
was represented yesterday after.
noon at the regular session of
police court presided over by
Judge 7. S. Caro-, when approx.
mstsly so viOIators of laws, pre-.
douainantly the traffic laws, ap.
peared before the tribunal to an.
swsr charges.
Officials in different branches
Of the government service, the or
binary drivers of cars, and Others
who have for many days, possibly
weeks, fallen into the natural
habit of doing the things which
they know are not according to
traffic regulations but have been
consistently done by Others, and
themselves. were summoned to
appear.
None of the violators were &C.
tually arrested, but the little tag
had been found in their cars and
they realized that the summons
was mandatory and in the event
they did not appear to answer the
result would be arrest and a prob
able, increase in the fine which
would have been imposed if the
first summons was not answered.
Most For Wrong Parking
Most of the violations were
parking on the wrong side of the
stEeet, end ~ prastieailyz every III
stance the minimum fine OF 81
was imposed, and in most in
stances eheerfully paid, although
there were several cases where
conscientious directors paid, but
under protest.
There were several persons who
believed that it was not right for
the mayor to publish an announce
ment in The Citizen in the after
noon to the effect that the traffic
laws were to be enforced and the
same afternoon, even before the
paper was issued, begin putting
the laws into effect.
To Be Careful In Future
Others. however, found no fault
with this procedure and said they
realized they were guilty of an
infractiOn of the traffic laws but
as they had been doing the same
thing for so long that they were
under the impression that the
laws had become obsolete. Now
that they realized enforcement
was in order they would be care
ful 10 obey them in the future.
While there were a number of
disgrpntled individuals in the
court room, who felt that the pro-
eedure was without precedent.
the greater number paid their
contributions cheerfully and
smiled at the thought of the
many times they had disobeyed
the traffic laws and had just been
checked up, and made to pay only
81.

ANOTHER CALL
MADE FOR MANY
FLOOD VICTIMS
REALIZING SERIOUSNESS OF
SITUATION. FIRST NATION.
AL BANK MAKES REQUEST
FOR FUNDS

Realizing the gravity of the
conditions made by the floods in
the valleys of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Rivers and the urgent
need of assistance to the sufferers
in those districts, the First Nation
al Bank has issued to the people
of Key West a call for assistance
to be extended through the local
Red Cross chapter, as follows:
"The press a:.d radio advise US
of an unprecedented situation in
the flood district of the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys. Hundreds OF
thousands are homeless, many hav.
ing had swept away by the flood
waters the accumulations of life
time. The President has stated
that this flood is the worse ma
tional disaster in the history Of
the country and has appealed TO
its citizens for relief of these
stricken populations.
1.-THE disaster has now assumed
such proportions that it will be
necessary to double, treble and
quadruple the original relief es-
Inmates and every individual should
contribute to this worthy cause to
the extent of his or her ability.
We will be very glad to receive
donations and turn them over to
the local Red Cross to be for
warded by them to its headquar-
tiers in the flood district. Let us
respond promptly and generous
ly."

acknowledged by the local Red

they can improve our appearance

But so many women. and espe-

We wouldn't have to be SO care
full about using cosmetics If the only
result Of overriding it was to make
US look like painted circus clowns.
But that isn't the only objection.
Inferior cosmetics, applied lavishly

this condition may be encouraged
if you clog up the pores with

powder you can use for busting q

Then, too, it's a good idea to make
sure your powder puff Is clean.
Wash it out, occasionally. just as
you wash your clothing.
And don't apply makeup too
heavily. Don't put on powder until
it forms matted layer over your
skin. If you experiment with vari-
Gus shades of powder and rouge,
you'll be able to find one which will
give the effect you want without
having to be used in such quantity.
