the IsraeliteS for making bricks

teal meaning. Taking the injunc-
ton to eat bitter herbs at the Sc
der table literally, m any Jews
would seriously burn their tongues
on the sharp condiments. To allay
the burn, a preparation of apple,
nuts, wine and cinnamon - our

Sephardic Jews do not hide the

When Thomas jefferson, Ben
jamin Franklin and John Adams
were appointed to prepare a de-
sign for the seal of the United
States on the same day that the
Declaration of independence was
adopted, they first proposed a de-
vice showing PharOah sitting in
an open chariot, a crown on his
head and a sword in his hand,
passing through the dividing wa
tiers of the Red Sea in pursuit of
the IsraeIites; with rays from a
pillar of fire beaming on Moses,
who was represented as standing
on the shore extending his hand
over the sea, causing it to over
Whelm PharOah.
Musicologists claim that the
melody for Had Gadya, one of
the important Passover songs, was
borrowed from a famous French
folk song which used to be sung
in the Province.
The earliest artists who en-
graved or painted Passover scenes
were not Jews but Christians.
The first Passover service to be
broadcast by television came from
New York City in 1910.
Jews already living in Pales-
tine still utter the hopeful phrase,
''Next Year in Jerusalem" as part
of the Passover service.

Summary Of Legislative Activity


| in 1889, giving any surplus to the
State Road Department, and
would submit a constitutional
amendment to the voters in 1912
to change the present diStribu-
ton of three cents to the coun-
ties and three cents to the Road
Department to four cents to the
Road Department and two cents
to the counties for the next fifty
years.
The first reaction to the pro-
posed constitutional amendment
! is that the counties and bond
holders would welcome such ac-
ton. 1t would assure the con-
tinuation of this tax for half a
century without the necessity OF
going through a legislative battle
every two years, and would raise
more revenue for the counties
than will be needed for bond pay
mentS even at the present rate OF
gasoline consumption.
| However, some political stu
dents are reluctant to give this
proposed constitutional amend
ment their approval without fur
Their study. They point out that
one of the special complaints OF
the Brookings Institution report
is that the State Constitution
adopted in 1885 is now outmoded
and insufficient to meet tOday's
needs. If our Constitution has be-
come a burden in the space of SIS
years, they say, this provision
which would continue the present
gas tax now one of the highest
in the country, for the next so
years, offers no possible relief for
motorists and may also become a
burden in future years. They
believe it would be wiser to leave
the question of the amount of gas
taxes to be levied to future legis-
latures which can adjust the tax
to meet changing needs and in
accordance with the revenue re-
ceiVed.
On the face of things, Cover
nor Hollands proposed legisla-
ton raising the tax on horse race
betting five percent and taking
the odd-cent break at the tracks
to increase old age pensions from
$12 to $23 per month, seems as
sured of enactment. Fifty-two
representatives sponsored the bill
in the House and twenty-five
senators signed as co-sponsors in
the Senate, which is sufficient to
pass the bill in both divisions of
the legislature. But this increase
of the states take from betting
at the horse racing track will not
be passed without the lower east
coast being heard from. That is
where the horse racing establish
ments are located, and they have
the example of what happened
to the tourist trade in California
when that state passed a similar
act. California found that a Is
percent tax decreased the states
income rather than raised it and
has now gone back TO the old
percentage. If that proves true
in Florida. the small counties,
which depend upon their share of
race-track revenue to meet coun-
ty expenses, will be hard hit.
Many also fear that too large a
tax will increase bootleg book
making from which the state re-
ceiveS no revenue at all. With

TALLAHASSEE, April 18.-
j The opening of the second week
of the 1941 session of the legisla-
ture centered the attention of po-
/ litical observers on the Senate
which in the first week confirm
ed the procession forecast that
this august body would cOnsti-
tute the big question mark of the
Spring festivities.
The first week pretty clearly
/ demonstrated that the House Of
/ Representatives is well organized
and practically unanimous in its
support of the program presented
by Governor Holland in his first
message and undoubtedly will
give equal support to- further
recommendations to be made by
the governor later on.
The House speedily completed
the formalities of organization
voted to limit the number of at
tacheS in the interest of economy
voted to outlaw salary buying,
adopted a memorial to Congress
asking for legislation to outlaw
strikes on national defense prof.
ects, approved bill establishing
safeguards against sabotage and
including a death penalty for
saboteurs, passed a bill regulat-
ing handling and storage Of eX-
plosives, established a state de-
Tense council with an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for its expenses,
and provided for establishment
of a state defense force to take
the place of the National Guard
which has been called into serv-
ice as a part of the national de-
Tense force.
In contrast with the speedy
House action, the Senate spent
nearly all of the first week de-
batting the adoption of new rules.
Discussion of these rules became
acrimonious at times and provok-
ed the charge by administration
leaders that call this vancouver
ing was designed to block part of
Governor Hollands program"
This charge was promptly denied
by President Beacham and Chair
man Dye of the Rules Commit
tee.
While there was no clear-cut
division of Senate membership
evidenced on the roll call, it is
apparent that a division exists,
and that unless Governor Hol-
land can rally sufficient Senate
support by labelling his program
with the magic words of ma
tional Defense" or acquire such
support by emulating the we'll
known tactics of David Harum"
some parts of his program may
encounter adverse winds and
stormy weather in the Senate.
The fight over distribution of
the gas tax will probably either
be settled this week or revolve
into a bitter contest which may
affect the entire program for the
remainder of the session. Pros
poets for a settlement revolved
around a compromise proposal
which has been submitted by
Governor Holland to the Associa-
ton of County Commissioners.
This compromise provides for the
extension of credits to counties
which have not yet paid off their
bonds. limits payments to coun-
ties to the amounts they received
