wants to recognize and express
our appreciation to the merchant
members of the 1941 Legislature,
all of whom used their best eff
forts for Repeal of the Gross Re-
ceipts Tax and in support of other
legislation in the interest of Flo
rida merchants. These were:
Senator Ernest Graham, dairyman
of Miami; Senator A. L. Wilson,
retail merchant of Quincy; Re-
preventative Newman Brackin,
druggist of Crestview; Repre-
sentative G. Frank Andrews, re-
tail merchant of Greenville: and
Representative Van H. Priest, re-
tail merchant of Madison. All of
the above, including Mr.. Over
street, E. T. Lay, Secretary
Manager of the Florida Merchants
Association and Senator Dewey
Johnson, attorney and introducer
of the Senate Bill, attended the
Governors signing of the Bill.
ITO all these, Mr.. Zacharias said,
1--WE extend our thanks"
Other Legislation Also
Appreciated
In addition to Repeal of the
Gross Receipts Tax, MIR. Zacharias
continued, a number of other
Bills were passed by the 194l Lee
gislature beneficial to and greatly
appreciated by Florida Merchants.
Principal among these were (a)
amendment of the Unemployment
Compensation Law to provide for
Experience Rating of this tax for
individual employers permitting
a tax reduction of one percent
starting in 1912: CD approval of a
constitutional amendment on
wage punishment; (c) amendment
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1941-06-17

of the Law protecting merchants
against bad checks: I'D reduction
and equalization of wholesale and
other occupational license taxes.
All together, Mr.. Zacharias con-
cluded, the Florida Merchants As
ISOLATION feels that the 194l Lee
gislature was one of the most
economically and efficiently
operated as well as one of the
most constructive sessions we have
had in great many years. Presi-
dent John Beachman of the Senate
and Speaker Dan McCarty are
entitled to great deal of credit
for this fine record, he said.

Ease Restriction
0nArmyHousing
Times stan Correspondent

FORT CUSTER, May 31.-All
married enlisted men may make
applications for quarters in the
new defense housing units in
Lakeview it was announced today
as fort officials eased restrictions
on tenancy in the partially COM
pleted building project.
Previously officers said only en-
listed men of the first three grades
would be considered as tenants in
the structure which was built to
house $50 families. The addition
of men below that rank will be
only a temporary measure. off,
GERS declared, and prospective
tenants will be warned that as
non-commissioned officers desire
housing, men of lower rank may
be moved to make room for them.
The new rule was laid down
when il was found that only
100 non-commissioned officers had
filed application for quarters in
the new buildings.

Retail
Volume
Steady

Retail sales held even with the
previous week as a wave of holi-
day buying, especially in the APP
parel line, offset the shorter work
week. says Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
Volume remains from 7 per cent
TO 10 per cent over the corre-
spending week last year and most
merchants expect to close the
month with the same percentage
of gain which. incidently. repre-
sents smaller margin of increase
than in any previous month this
year.. A notable exception was
the mems furnishings line which
finished strong in the last two
months of May and is expected to
better 1910 totals by over 20 per
cent.
Wholesale distribution likewise
held even with the previous week.
For the month. increases are ex-
pected TO total approximately Is
per cent to 20 per cent. Collec-
lions remain above last year by
several points.
Price advances on practically all
consumers goods are reported as
unacceptable on next Falls pur-
chases. The margin of increase
will depend on the particular item
but an overall average of 10 per
cent is considered likely.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-31
Only ~ Per Cent

During the same u months
the cost of living is estimated To
have risen only % per cent, re-
tail prices about 5 per cent.
In some respects the most sig
nificant figure bearing on the
position of labor in the defense
program is 10 be found in fac
tory pay rolls.
First. il may be noted that
the relation between pay rolls
and number of employees is an
important barometer of business
cycles. and usually shows infia-
ton about as clearly as can be.
The ratio of pay rolls to employ
ment always rises in booms. and
IS relatively high al cycle peaks.
In 1920, for example, the pay
rolls ratio was 6 per cent higher
than average: that is. the pay
rolls were 6 per cent above their
usual ratio 20 number Of en-
ployes. Similarly, In June. 1920
the pay roll-employe ratio was
ID per cent above average. Even
in the moderate initiation periods
Of 1923 and 1897 the ratio was
about , per cent above.

Having declared a full emer-
gency, President Roosevelt has
pledged that the American way
would be preserved. despite tenn
porary interferences essential to
national mobilization.
Men of business are now SOL
diers in the ranks. but their
morale would be heightened il
they felt confident that for the
duration long term trends to-
ward collectivization would be
suspended.
Merle Thorpe. editor OF the
Nations Business, astutely OBJ
serves that deeds will be more
comforting during this period
than mere words.
He delineates four categories
of action which would promote
national unity. He recommends
the following groups of acts
which will demonstrate:

are entering. The exigencies Of
the period seriously threaten
successful effort by prudent
breadwinners TO assure their
own financial independence.
And speaking of taxes. %
states and several cities, includ-
ing New York and New Orleans.
are collecting retail sales taxes.
In California. where the per cap
tia collections are the largest,
the sales tax has become the
states chief source of revenue.
In the last fiscal year, California
collected SAT- for each inhab-
liant at the 3 per cent rate. get
ting a substantially bigger yield
than Illinois, Michigan and Ohio,
which taxes its residents at the
same rate.

Tourists Help

The substantial floating tour
list population in California I'M
doubtedly swells the total re-
ceipts, but perhaps an even more
significant factor behind the SUI
perior performance lies in the
fact that California employs
more auditors than other states.
Dixwell L. Pierce of the Cali
fornia tax department reveals
that the state keeps its admins
trative expense at less than 2.75
per cent Of its collections and
gets at least $3.50 in additional
taxes for each dollar spent in
field alIdits.

Improved Position

The improved position Of fac
tory labor is further indicated
by comparison with earlier pc
J.. RODS. Back in. 1928 pay rolls
&ere Tx Mis- conparcR' with
employment at LOT prices at
over 100, and value of industrial
output at 122.
Similar comparisons for other
boom periods show conclusively
that this time labor is getting
an extraordinarily large slice of
the pie.
The problem of the social
planners, therefore, now seems
10 be TO let prices of manufac-
tured products rise sufficiently
10 allow profits that will be
large enough 10 encourage enter
prise. If labor is 10 prosper long.
capital and enterprise must be
allowed TO prosper, too.

declines were incurred by General
Motors, Youngstown Sheet and
Tube. General Electric, American
Telephone. New York Central and
Union Pacific.

among the stocks to open I'M

Finance Defense

Henry F. Long. Massachusetts
tax official, concerned over the
need of financing a prodigious
armament effort at the time
when the normal cost of govern
ment, national. state and local,
is unprecedentedly high. pro-
poses a revaluation of nonmili-
tary governmental activities.
THE answer to the problem
of financing national Defense"
he concludes, may be found In a
complete revision Of attitude to-
ward wealth and at least the
temporary abandonment of some
of the governmental activities
which heretofore have been a
drain upon the creative forces
Of the people of America"
