PRESENT TAXES ENOUGH

The declaration of the Florida Tax
payers association that state finances
could be put in a healthy condition without
additional taxes if the present levies were
collected and intelligently spent is in line
with the stand The Citizen has taken for
years.
As the association president, Fred j.
Collins, has pointed out in discussing talk
about the need for "relief of real estate"
the real need for relief is felt by those who
have paid their taxes promptly. The only
way to provide that relief is to tighten col
lection of taxes on all property, including
personal and intangible property, and to
curb the policy of granting tax exemptions.
The Brookings Institution report,
which bears out the suggestions of the tax
payers group, also recommends establish
ment of a proper budget system and calls
the lack of such system the real reason for
Floridas growing financial deficit.
The present system, the report con-
tinues, 'fais to control in any way the ex-
penditure of IS per cent of the states
funds" and has inadequate control of the
other Is per cent.
Leaders of the taxpayers association
.cxpress the earnest hope" that Governor
Holland and Comptroller Lee will have
taxation and finance program ready to sub
NIT to the legislature during this session. 1t
is a hope that is echoed by most paying tax
payers of the state.
The taxpayers statement concludes:
'There is no question of the earnest
ess of most members of the legislature,
many of them young men just beginning
their careers of public service; but unless a
definite, strongly supported program is
submitted to them, they may be helpless to
prevent this session from degenerating into
a madhouse of conflicting special interests,
like others before it, in which the taxpayers
will again be the Victims
In the weller of argument over new
ferns of TAXATION national and state, the
legislature could do nothing better than
give present taxes chance to produce.
Collect them and spend them wisely.

OUR CHIEF JUSTICES

Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
will be 70 years old on April IL, and it is
rumore1 that he may retire from the Of
flee, which he has so capably filled within
few months, but this has not been con-
iirmed publicly by the jurist himself.
1t is interesting to note that while 81
citizens of the United States have been
elevated to the presidency, only II have
beer appointed chief justice since the
foundation of our government under the
constitution-Jay Rutledge, Ellsworth,
Marshall fancy, Chase, Waite, Fuller,
White, Taft and Hughes.
In fact, only 10 have served as chief
justice, for one of the appointees, John
Rutledge, was never confirmed by the
Senate He developed evidences of APP
preaching insanity about the time of his APP
pointment by President Washington in
1895, and Ellsworth was named in his stead
a few months later.
John Marshall served longer than any
other chief justice, 81 years, and died in
office at the age of 80. Roger B, fancy
served to a greater age than any other, re-
naming in office until his death at the age
of 81 having been head of the highest court
for % years.
John Jay, the first chief justice, was
the youngest at the time of his appointment
to that office. being only ID. John Mar
shall was appointed at the age of DC.
Among associate justices of the Su-
preme Court, the youngest at the time of
his appointment was Joseph Story, who
was 80. The next youngest was William
Johnson, who was 33 when he took office
The youngest associate justice of the pres
ent court is William o. Douglas who was 40
at the time of his appointment two years
ago

phatically that unnecessary strikes cannot
be tolerated. Total defense can never be
attained so long as few INSCRIPTIONS labor
leaders seem to have no other ambition
than to exploit the emergency to the limit,
ard while at it they are also exploiting
labor itself. Honest labor should keep this
in mind. The man who delays defense

LACK OF LOGIC

Editor, The Citizen: &
Our isolationists get them
