STATE LEGISLATURE

Continued from rage One)
tute for gasoline, be taxed equal
ly with gasoline.
IA. The Legisla ture study
whether to tax governmental sal
aries, apparently authorized by a
recent U. S. Supreme Court opin-
ion.
Much of the address was de-
voted to taxation.
The governor asked that the
present S3,400,O0O for old age
pensions be boosted to 100000
a year and that 100000 be added
for care of the needy blind and
$500, 900 for dependent children.
In his next sentence he pro-
posed that this extra 100000 be
provided by Strengthening the
enforcement of liquor taxes,
which care for the Welfare De-
partment. He specifically asked
that state, like Federal, officers
be given authority to confiscate
automobiles and other property
used in bootlegging.
On racing, he suggested that
the present three percent tax,
which is divided equally among
the 81 counties, be increased to
five percent. Proceeds from the
extra two estimated to
produce about 100000 a year
would go to the now depleted
general revenue fund from which
state departments and the courts
draw their support.
Again, the governor asked that
the state take about 100000 a
year now going to race track
owners from the odd-cent break
the few pennies on each win
ming pari-mutuel ticket that do
not figure out to an even 10-cent
denominator.
The message emphasized again
and again that enough taxes now
are levied to run the state, if
properly collected and admins
tered. AS one example, he cited
the millage on personal property
which he said ''has been sadly
neglected by the collecting au-
thorities' Then he said:
Il recommend that a law be
passed authorizing the governor
attorneys to collect delinquent
taxes on personal property; that
the salaries of such attorneys be
paid out of the amount so COL
lected, so that the State of Florida
will not have to pay any of the
expense in connection herewith.
For the first time, he asked that
Independent boards and commits
sions which collect their own fees
and spend their own money be
required to operate on two-thirds
of what they receive and give the
other third to general costs of
government. He did not estimate
what this would produce for the
state.
The message strongly empha-
sized the governors intention to
keep after his search for untaxed
intangibles and his belief the
present 100000 from this source
can be increased to "at least ST.
100000 or 81, 100000.
He recommended that this two
mill levy be increased to four
mills, and added:
Practically all these intangible
taxes are collected from people
who live beyond the confines of
Florida but who take advantage
of our liberal laws and become
citizen of this state for the pur-
pose of evading higher taxes on
their incomes as levied in their
former homes.
The governor urged co-opera-
ton with the New Deal program
Of President Roosevelt ''for hui
manitarian purposes as many of
our under-privileged would have
suffered hardships had it not
been for the aid granted through

Der of property holders who have
said they intended to have their

new MEASURE
ON TAXATION
WOULD ELIMINATE DIS
ELIMINATION AGAINST
FLORIDA RESIDENTS
Especial to The CitizenN

TALLAHASSEE. May Ito
eliminate tax discrimination that
now exists against Florida tax
payers who bid on sales of sup
plies to or projects for State,
County and municipal agencies,
Senator VIM. c. Hodges intro
duced bill in the Senate today
requiring persons selling supplies
or bidding on projects or fur
nishing of such supplies to the
State or its political subdivisions
to pay such business excise and
license taxes as are levied under
the laws of Florida and prohibit
ing the fiscal officers of the State
and its political subdivisions from
paying for any supplies furnished
by or work done by any concern
that has not paid all of its bust
ness excise and license taxes up
to date. .....s
Senator Hodges explained that
the law is not intended to erect a
trade barrier but merely requires
all who bid for public business to
pay the same occupational and
excise taxes so that out of State
businesses or tax lodging resi-
dent businesses will not be able
to have an unfair advantage in
quoting prices-the law will
eliminate such situations as for
instance, come up when a State
concern is required to pay one
half of one per cent gross re-
ceipts tax and while an out of
State concern does not at the
present time have to pay such
tax and, therefore, is able to re-
duce its bid one-half of one per
cent, giving such out of State
concern that much of an unfair
margin. raj -,,,-.

OPPORTUNITIES
BEING OFFERED
AT NYA CAMPS
VARIOUS YOUTHS ARE GIVEN
CHANCE TO SECURE MUCH
EXPERIENCE IN, DIFFER
EMIT LINES OF WORK

Federal government, through
the National Youth Administra-
ton, is offering many oppor-
tunities for work experience that
will fit youths to enter private
industry whenever the opening
occurs.
Victor Lowe, supervisor in
this area said yesterday there is
in operation at Ocala, Camp
Roosevelt, where white girls are
receiving educations and train
ing in several essential subjects.
At Cherry Lake white boys are
being trained in mechanical work
and agricultureS1
Recently camp was opened
at Sulphur Springs and several
youths from Key West are as
signed to the camp where three
weeks of training is being given
in carpentry work, three weeks
in mechanical work and three
weeks in metal work. After three
weeks in this preliminary work
the youth is then selected for
the work for which he has been
chosen, and completes the five
months training, which, it is ex-
pected fits him to enter private
industry as fist class apprentice,
and the ground work for their
future lives will be started.
There are at this time in Key
West 125 youths distributed on
various projects Results during
the past year have shown that
the training received has en-
abled youths to accept private
employment in classes of work
with which they were entirely
unfamiliar previous to their as
signment.
AT the present time there are
nine youths from Key West at
tending the camps mentioned
above, including that at Talla-
hassee where negro girls are
trained IN hornan1aking and boys
trained in electrical work, auto
mechanics and radio repair and
plumbing. HF11s
Y Conditions at FALL of the camps
are the best. Food is excellent,
sanitation in all forms is stressed,
obedience and regular habits
strictly observed. All members
of the camps have instilled into
them the old maxim that I'm
sowing an act they reap a habit
and in sowing a habit they reap
a character" and that great care
should be taken in the sowing of
these acts.

Sitting In With The Lawmakers
BY GILBERT D. LEACH

so wouldn't the Legislature please
cut their salaries so they could
collect? Reminded me of the old
negro who didn't want two dol
lars a day; rather have dollar
a day SO if. he happened not to
be paid he wouldn't lose SO
much.
These Legislators ought to get
free room and board at Tallahas-
sees hotels for they certainly can
drum up trade in a hurry. That
proposal to tax intangibles at
their face value brought caravans
of bankers, chamber of commerce
men, tax experts and plain citi-
zens, and the Senate committee
headed by Spessard Holland got
"a mass of data that made it look

school laws were two and three

finding out how much money
will be available and where it is
coming from.
That's an easy one. The mem
bers are just like you and me.
When we want something we go
and buy it on the easy payment
plan. After we get it we begin
to wonder just how we're going
to pay for it and we begin to
scratch around on the old budget

we can meet the monthly pay

sets in.
