Eight of these fifteen taxes
would be paid by sources not now
paying any state taxes. The other
seven would be paid by sources
which now are paying very light
taxes - so small as to be little more
than token taxes. Much of the taxes
/ recommended would be paid by
wealthy visitors to Florida. Much
would be paid by businesses making
enormous profits in Florida. but
having their headquarters out of the
state. One OF these taxes, the sever
ance tax, would be paid by a firm
which according to the Testimony Of
its president, too kin s2S, 600, 900 last
year and paid no state taxes at all
The utility tax would be paid
largely by three power companies
which charge their customers about
20 per cent more than Is paid in
Georgia. One Of these power com.
panies makes so much money by
over-charging its customers that II
seems ashamed to reveal the many
millions OF dollars Il gouged them
for last year. These fabulously rich
power companies now pay one Of
the very lowest utility taxes in the
entire United States.
II have recommended that insur-

the very lowest taxes levied by any
State in the Union. pay little
more to help the schools. the col

By REP. GEORGE sMATHERs

November 18th marked another
Armistice Day, the anniversary
date of that day in 1918 when
the Allies and Central Powers
ceased fire and the world looked
forward to a new era Of peace
and goodwill among men.
It Is customary each Armistiee
Day to set aside few minutes of
silence as a national observance
of the sacrifice paid by those who
lost their lives defending their
homes and loved ones. Such a
tribute is laudatory, but it is not
enough. When the werld was en-
quilted in World War III the living
had failed the dead of World War
/, and il we again plunge into a
cataclysm of catastrophe, we will
have failed the dead of both
wars. The greatest and only real
tribute that we can render our
past heroes is to construct mon
ument of lasting peace so that
bur children and grandchildren
will escape the horrors of war.
On this Armistice Day, as in
years before, diplomats paid
homage to the cause of peace and
politicians will deliver beautiful
but Intellectual eulogies. But the
solution to the problems of wars
will not be found in top level
scircles; it must come from the
real desires of citizens every
where to seek peaceful solutions
to their difficulties. Since every
Ewhere" includes the Soviet Union
lit is unfortunate that the people
in that country are regimented in
thought and controlled in expires
sion by group of men dedicated
to Goddess concept of life.

be bi-lat raj and emanate from
unfettered peoples who recognize

AID TO CHOIR.

| fFfOm MRS. u. +. L., ITeeHoetC/
To Mrs. j. D. H., Washington:
This work with the church choir
| is most worth while and hope
will be very rewarding.
Perhaps you could make start
In buying music for this by get
ting up a music social to make
money. There are many music
games and stunts that can be
used. Then have refreshments
and charge for the evening.
Choir Herald is good and often
has excellent pieces to use (not
always, I would say). They can
be addressed Lorenz Publishing
House. Dayton, Ohio.
One tried and found satisfac-
tory method Is to f1nd q church
with q choir comparable to yours
and exchange music. II some
thing has been found delightful
and not too difficult for another
choir you know Of you would
have greater assurance in putting
work into 1t. We have tried this
way and another church is just
as glad to borrow music that we
had used and found excellent as
we were to use what they had to
lend and to recommend. We re-
turned promptly after we were
through with the music and paid
for any that had been lost.
Let the leader study the work
for the next rehearsal till it is
beautiful to her. Then she will
lead with happy assurance. Reg
ular hours for rehearsal and stick
ing to them are most necessary.
Your singers will have respect
for the work and the late comers
will ind they not only lose If not
on time, but hold back the
prompt ones.
A Christmas and an Easter can
tata are very good. This makes
something special to be working
for all the time except summer
time. We have found that the
rehearsals in themselves had their
social value, and I mean value.
In one church we had q group of
boys who loved singing. They did
not take parts. tenor and bass
but there were places in the
Cantata well suited to them.
We had canon boards and when
q certain group were not sing
ing they would play a game. II
needed In the midst OF q game
the board was left and no delay,
and the players could go back
to it after their special work.
That was very enjoyable win
ter and the Easter Cantata was
a joy and inspiration. We gave
it again at a neighboring church,
and after two or three years gave
it again in ours.
May you be rewarded in your
work and may it grow with much
satisfaction.
