conditions in business and religious
life.
Expected to arrive in Wilmington

Characterized by one Senator as IAN
imponderable mess the new excess
profits and amortization bill recently
passed by Congress is one of the most COM
plicated and unintelligible measures ever
perpetrated on the nation.
Delay in passing some kind of bill
on this vital subject has done more to re-
tard the defense program than anything
that has happened, and the monstrosity
which finally emerged as law has not
helped matters very much. Few mem
bers of Congress really read the bill. ac-
cording to their own admission, and still
fewer pretend to understand it.

BLOCKADE MAY DECIDE WAR

The unrelenting blockade of Germany
and occupied territories is not spectacular
but the steady pressure of British naval
supremacy is having some effect on Ger
many. =
British strategists continue to believe
that eventually the blockade will bring
Hitler to his knees just as it brought the
Kaiser to a collapse some twenty-five years
ago.
1t is impossible to estimate German
supplies OF oil, alloys, rubber, lead, copper
and other necessary war materials. What
ever the situation may be, it is intensified
by the tight blockade which stops imports
of these supplies. There is every indica-
ton that an effort will be made to per-
suade the people of this country to send
food to the peoples of Europe this winter.
While there may be a scarcity of food in
certain areas, British officials assert that
there will be plenty of food to go around
if it is equitably distributed and not carted
off to Germany.

AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE!

The first of six constitutional amend
merits that registered voters of Florida will
vote on at the November 9Th election is
worded thusly:
After December 31st, 1910, no levy
OF advalorem taxes upon real or personal
property, except tangible property, shall
be made for any purpose whatsoever, and
section of article II. be and the same is
hereby repealed.
The effect of this amendment would
be to permanently remove the state from
the field in levying direct taxes upon real
ard personal prOperty-and with this, The
Citizen is in accord and would recommend
that all voters in Monroe County approve
CT the measure.
In d most comprehensive and alto
gether excellent brochure on the subject
of this amendment, the Florida Tax Equal
iZers Association, of Orlando, covers all of
the many reasons why voters should ap-
prove of this change in the taxing ma
chinery Of the state. Included in the paper
are these statements:
The sentiment for removing the state
entirely from the advalorem field has been
growing steadily for years. Legislative
experience showed members of the Legis-
lature CAST SESSION. the wisdom Of re-
moving from their Owr control the power
to establish a millaee for state purposes,
uton property"
Now, for once, the taxpayers have
the opportunity to vote OFF tax, and to
make it forever impossible for the Legis-
lature to levy this kind of tax
''Since it has proved an absolute i'm
possibility to equalize tax assessments
throughout Florida for state purposes,
then such a system, admittedly unfair and
inequtable, should be abolished'
when the state gets into the field Of
advalOrem taxes, it trespasses upon the
limited field of revenue of the other taxing
units. such as the county and municipali-
ties
Lets bring the matter of direct taxa
tion closer home-it's the democratic
way
The way to begin saving in tax
tickets in Florida is to wipe off the state
millage, and begin a program of economy
in state expenditures
Governor-rCminate Spessard Holland
favors this amendment, as the brochure
points out, and continually fought for it in
four different state assemblies. He is
quoted as saying -'the measure gives ma
terial tax relief TO DrOperty owners in the
state. the best method of equalizing as
sessments could then be worked out.
There will be no uniformity in school terms
until something is done in this field.
And that, as The Citizen thinks, just
about covers the subject.
