DAY or RECKONING

|. News from Tallahassee
Indicates that what The
Citizen predicted about IN
creased taxation in Florida
h turning out to be true.
The Citizen remarked fur
Their that there would be
little likelihood Of the legis-
lature seeking ways to re-
duce taxation, which has
become more and more bur-
dens0me in Florida since the
turn Of the century. And
that observation also is turn
ins out to be true.
More taxes, not greater
economies, is the subject Of
discussion. A bill has been
introduced IN the house to
set up = transaction tax, !
designed TO raise 100 million
dollars . year, and to abol-
ism al ad valorem taxes.
Transaction tax is the
name that the Townsedites
gave to their proposed taxes
to create a panacea Of 5000
. month in pensions to every
citizen of the United States.
IS years of age or Older.
The intr0ducer of the bill
might have borrowed the
term transaction from the
Townsend folks. who avoid
ed using the term sales
tax" because it was general-
" unpopular. But the chang
ing Of the name to "transac-
tior" does not alter the man
ner in which the tax is APP
piled.
In the senate a bill h a s
been introduced that IS
frankly called a sales tax.
II would impose a three-cent
tax on retail sales, rentals,
admissions and real estate
sales. The transaction tax
not only includes those
items but also imposes three
per cent collections on in
terest on loans. transporta-
ton and communication,
storage and value of forest
and mineral products.
Leave nothing for the
taxpayer, tax him at every
turn, take away from him
the bulk of the money he
earns through his work and
ingenuity! That has b e e n
the trend in Florida, as state
taxes have increased more
and more every year since
1901.
But the day of reckoning
must come, and when it does
Tallahassee will shudder.

Editor, The Citizen:
Please allow me space in this
column that I may express my
views. feel that in this instance,
i am expressing the views OF
every lady il our community, in
regards to our police officers ar
resting these women who are
constantly parading on our streets
with almost nothing on 10 cover
their God-Given bodies.
II our law enforcement officers
do not start enforcing the laws Of
our city, pretty soon some Of these
females win be out on our streets
with nothing on at ALL,
! have at various times seen
some Of these sights and heard
some real ladies. who happened
to be near at the time, say. that
they sometimes feel ashamed that
they are of the same sex. I sure
can't blame them, for I am
ashamed myself for our good la
dies TO have TO see such things
walking along on the streets Of
our city. Not only are the wom-
en- now going without enough
clothes on, but we have some
supposed-tO-be men who are pa
rading up and down the streets
with nothing else on but a very
short pair of shorts and no shirts
at all. think that they are just
as much of disgrace ON our
streets as these women are, so l
say, Go ahead, officer. and ar
rest every man or woman that
comes out ON the streets without
having on their. proper clothing
that becomes their SEX"
If your city judge doesn't back
you up. then take them to the
county. You will find some juries
that will back you up.

VET LAuDs RED CROSS

VET LAUDS RED CROSS
Editor. The Citizen:
Through the efforts of the To-
cal Chapter of the American Red
Cross, l was able to reach my
sick mothers bedside within a
short time and gave her a pint of
my blood, which helped to- save
her life. It was expedient that
my mother be given Type B
blood, the same type as mine.
When attempts to reach me
were futile, it was the Red
Cross who stepped in and reach
ed me within a short time. At
that time, transportation was
difficult to procure; however, the
Red Cross obtained air transpor-
tation for me Immediately.
Z This aid increased the respect
l already had for the Red Cross,
a profound respect which was
gained when l personally saw the
good that this organization did
for my war buddies in Africa,
Sicily and England, during World
War II.

CITES RED CROSS HELP

CITES AEV CnOo0 nELP
Editor, The Citizen:
At time when composure and
clarity of mind were most essen
tial to me, the American Red
Cross alleviated my distress over
my family resulting from the
publicity given the tropical hur-
ricane that hit Richmond, Flog--
ida, in 1945. l had been trying
for days to receive some word
from my family in Key West.
After the hurricane, however, all
efforts were to no avail. Six
hours after contracting the Red
Cross requesting aid in obtaining
information relative to the well
fare of my family, had reply
that all was well.
From my first hand observa-
ton, the American Red Cross
during World War II in Eng
land, Scotland, France, Belgium,
Holland and Germany, deserves
the lions share of credit. At a
time when morale was lowest, it
was the American Red Cross
workers who stepped in and
helped us boys carry the load.

LEvIES MAY BE. SLA5HED,
 SENATE BILL
Would Be Retroactive July 1 Instead of Last
 Jdnudryt
By FRANCIS J. KELLY

WASHINGTON, May l0.-tR- Senator George D-Ga) declared today $4,000. .000, ,000- year income tax cut approved by the Senate Fi- nance Committee would leave no surplus to pay on the $258, ,0OO 0o0,- 900 public debt.
 The measure, slashing levies 30 to l0.5 percent, was voted over Georges protest that action should be delay ed until Congress has a better idea what next years government spend- ing will be.
 It would be effective July l in- stead of retroactive to last Jan. 1, the date fixed in the House bill, and would limit the cut on incomes in the range of s79.728 to S302 ,396 to Is percent instead of the House versions 20 percent.
 George was defeated in a motion to delay the effective date until next Jan. l and finally joined the committees seven Republican mem- bers yesterday in voting to send the bill to the floor, where he reserved the right to oppose it.
 The other five Democrats on the committee voted against the bill.
 The measure is an amended ver- sion of House bill No. 1, which started out as 20 percent across the-board reduction sponsored by Ways and Means Committee chair man Knutson Minn). The House finally approved a bill with grad uated reductions ranging from 30 to 10.5 percent, and retroactive to last Jan. l.
 The most important change made by the Senate Committee was delaying the effective date six months.
 New withholding rates would take effect July 1 if the Senate version becomes law. The withheld tax for most wage and salary earners would go down 30 to 20 percent then, depending on the income bracket. Out next March, when the taxpayer makes out his return for calendar l947, he would find his cut over the whole year figures out only Is or 10 percent.
 In his return for 1948, however, he would get the full 20 or 30 per- cent benefit
 This is the schedule of rate cuts voted by the Senators:
 30 percent off for persons with net incomes, after exemptions and deductions, of $l.000 or less; 30 to 20 percent on incomes from $1,O00 to $l.396; 20 percent on incomes from s1,396 to $79,728; 15 percent on incomes from $79,718 to $302,- 396; l05 percent on all above $302,- 396.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = President Tru- man made a startling and highly important statement to Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington the other day on Republican knif- ing of reclamation funds.
 In brief, what the President told Magnuson was
 Budget slashes in money for
 western reclamation, irrigation
 and public power may harm the
 security of the Nation more
 than comparable cuts in the
 budgets of the Army and Navy.
 Truman went on to explain that this was due to the fact that atomic energy development depend- ed on the Governments giant pow CT projects. (One atomic plant is at Hanford, Wash, and gets its power from Grand Coulee. The other is at Oak Ridge, Tenn, and gets it's power from IVA. The War Depart ment has said if these Government power projects had not been in ex- istence. development of the A bomb would have taken several years.)
 Truman added that his military advisers shared his view and are every bit as concerned as he about the scuttling of western reclama- tion and power projects by east ern Republicans.
 The President also indicated that he might send message to Con

UNEMPLOYED IN
 TERR. up 12h%
 OVER LAST YEAR

i An increase or 1912 percent, over
 last year, in the total number of unemployed persons in the Terri tory, was revealed today in the
 monthly report of A. A. Hedges, Director of the Alaska Territorial
 Employment Service. His report revealed that there were l,142 per- sons out of work in Alaska dur ing the month of April.
 Included in his report, Hedges pointed out that the number of
 unemployed veterans had increas- ed 157 percent this year, from the same month last year, but has decreased 52 percent from March of this year. He said that the numbers of both unemployed vet erans and women have increased to great extent despite a con- siderable increase of the placement of these persons by the ATES Hedges reported that his office interviewed 10,444 persons during April, an increase of 14.3 percent over last year. 1,260 of these were successfully placed on jobs. This represents 69.8 percent of those referred to prospective employers.
 The ATES head pointed out that there was a 140.5 percent increase in the numbers of unskilled work CTS placed through his office with increases ranging from 35.3 to 100 percent for professional, manager ial, clerical and sales personnel. However, he said, there were also decreases registered, ranging from 7ha to 24.6 percent, for place ment of skilled, service and semi skilled workers.
 The percentage of placements for non- whites was up 324 percent and veterans placement was 34.8 percent. The report stated, how ever, that the placement of handi- capped workers was down 1883 percent.

NEW LABOR
 BILL NOW COMING up
Murray Sponsors Legis|d- lion that May Get Tru-
 mans Approval

WASHINGTON, May 10.-tRl- Senator Taft (R-Ohio) today clune to hope the Senate can reach a final vote Monday on Labol legislation, including a brand new till fashioned by Democrats te win President Truman's approval
 The new measure is sponsored by Senator Murray (D-Mont and 10 other Democrats. He offered it at a Senate session last night as a substitute for the more stringent labor disputes bill back ed by Taft, chairman of the Sen ate Labor committee.
 Murray, leader of the thus far unsuccessful fight against the Taft Bill, told the Senate the new measure carries out "all the recommendations" of MT. Truman on labor legislation, and covers some other matters as well. It is considered milder than the committee bill, which several Dem- ccrats have predicted the President would veto.
 Introduction of the Murray bill bibught an angry protest from Taft xifoS accused it's sponsors of com pletely dnatory" tactics in wait ing through II days of Senate debate on Labor legislation to in- troduce the measure.
 The Senate took this action on major amendments to the Taft bill.
 l. Defeated, 62 to 28, a proposal by Senator Ball tR-Minn) to let private employers seek injunctions against jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts.
 g. Adopted, e62 to 26, a Taft backed proposal allowing employ CTS to sue unions for damages re- sulting from jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts.
 CA secondary boycott is a union attempt to hit indirectly as an em- ployer by forcing other employ CTS to quit dealing with him. The most common type of jurisdictional strike stems from a dispute be- tween unions as to which should do certain Work)

DR. DAWBER
 GIVES VIEWS
 AFTER TOUR
Critieizes Army Authorities for DepIordbIe Vice
 Conditions

NEW YORK, May 10.-tR-Fear of war with Russia is severely hampering the development of AL aska, whose western shoreline has been turned into an armed fort ress,' a prominent churchman said here.
 Dr. Mark A. Dawber, Executive Secretary of the Home Missions Council of North America, told the Councils executive committee:
 Huge concrete structures have been erected in rocky wastelands for air bases and military service. all along the Alaska coastline from Nome to Point Barrow there is evidence of military preparation. "
 pr. Dawhers remarks Bought a quick response from a War De- partment official in Washington that reference apparently had been made to Task Force Williwaw" which has been testing men and equipment in Alaska for some time.
 The council secretary, who just returned from a three-week air tour of the Territory, said that un- til the fear of war with the USER is eradicated the settlement and growth of Alaska would be retard- ed.
 Dr. Dawber also criticized Army authorities for the most deplor- able vice conditions I have seen anywhere" He declared that Ketch- ikan, with a population of 5000 spends nearly S5,000,0Oo year for liquor and approximately s130,000 for education, with similar condi- tions existing in other cities.
 Only by granting statehood to Alaska will it's people take them selves seriously and assume respon- sibility," he asserted.
 The War Department official who replied to the mission executives statement concerning Alaska for tifications declined to make any immediate comment on the vice situation in the Territory.
