The measure previously had
been passed by the Senate.
Under the bill, law enforcement
officers at these reservations, such
as National Airport. would be
given specific authority to take
into custody persons believed to
be of unsound mind. United States
commissioner would be author
lied to SEND such persons to st.
Elizabeths Hospital for examina-
ton for not to exceed 80 days
after a hearing. with testimony
under oath of two persons and
affidavits of two physicians.
In the absence of an imme-
diate hearing, detention for eX-
animation at st. Elizabeths for
not more than 72 hours would be
authorized.

SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH

The churches of the world are institu-
tions of man, designed to = help human
beings toward perfection, the goal of
most religious. f
Intelligent men and women, for hun
dreds Of years, have supported the church
of their choice. Sometimes, superstition
and ignorance have egged individuals to
do great things in the name of religion
but, more and more, people support
churches from an intelligent appreciation
of their functions.
We are not particularly interested in
the church to which any individual be-
longs. This is a matter for each person
to decide for himself Some human be-
ings like religion served in one way and
some like it otherwise. The variety of style,
treatment and types can only be explain
ed by the varied nature of the men and
women who must be served.
Just as adults give their time. and
money to support other worthwhile UNI
dertakings, they should deliberately plan
to give of their time and money to the
church to which they belong. 1t takes
money to run any organization and while
the church hasa divine mission, it has
certain very definite human needs, which
must be met by those who belong to
it, if it is to function in a material world.

OUT OF OUR POCKETS

Recently, Russell Kay in his column
in The Citizen, remarked that the Florida
legislature does the bulk of its business,
particularly that part of it pertaining to
taxation. in the last two or three days Of
the session
Legislators have been working under
forced draught since Wednesday in at
tempts TO conclude their activities today,
which is scheduled as the last day Of the
session.
It is difficult to determine by the
latest news received from Tallahassee
whether or not Governor Warren will find
it necessary to call special session Of the
Legislature to enact bills that will assure
sufficient revenue for the state to operate
for the next two fiscal years.
Possibly the clock will be pushed
back as has been done many time, In
order to give the house and the senate
time to agree on an acceptable tax struc-
ture.
The Citizen maintains that whatever
may be the nature Of tax bills enacted into
law, the ultimate consumer will pay In the
long run. It may appear that he won't be
affected adversely by taxing this or that
product or convenience, but were he able
to follow it through allits ramifications Ne
would discover that the MONEY comes out
Of his pocket just the same. @
As The Citizen remarked week ago,
most of the taxes we pay we are not aware
Of their existence. They are the hidden
taxes. They run through every business or
trade and are passed on by producers or
business men to the ultimate consumer
For instance, the manufacturers of ciga-
rettes do not pay a tax on their product;
the producers of gasoline do not pay a tax
In each instance the tax is passed on to the
man who purchases those products.
In view of those facts, we, as con-
sumers, should neither complain nor re-
joice over the type of the states tax struc-
ture, for, whatever it is, the money will
come out of our pockets -
