Dion Threatens City With
Law Suit Over Way Tax
Rolls Are Being Prepared
BUSINESSMAN
LISTS SIX
SPECIFIC
INSTANCES

At the final meeting of the Equal
l. ton Board held last night in
City Hall, Fred J, Dion and Will
liam Neblett submitted strongly
Worded letters denouncing the pre-
sent method Of preparing city tax
rolls.
Said Dion: Having been advised
by competent tax authorities that
the rolls, City and County, are lille
gally prepared, l propose, il, moth
ing is done, to take legal action
looking toward corrections.
Dion's general reasons for OBJ
lection to the acceptance of the
1852 tax roll we're based on six
specific instances:
~ The roll is not prepared on
the 100 percent value basis re-
quired by law
q. Personal property in the
homes is not on the tax rolls. The
exemption of $500. per family ere
ates an unfair situation in which
the newer and richer homes do not
pay their prOportionate share.
80 Individual buildings are rent.
ed in competition with apartments.
The latter carry an unequal burden
because they must pay occupation
al licenses and personal property
tax. Buildings do not pay either
one.
ca Sigsbee Park and Peary
Court are not shown on the tax
rolls at all, even though the law
REQUIRES that new construction
shall be assessed at the percent
age of completion. Rental income
was commenced in March OF this
year in this connection. says Dion.
81 New business areas such as
Truman. White and POinciana are
not being increased in assess
ments in line with new conditions.
The area around Flagler and lst.
Street is a case IN point. Either
the new sections should be in
creased or the downtown sections
decreased since the latter are los
ing in value to the new areas.
90 Yachts, pleasure boats, fish
ing and charter boats. pay neither
personal property taxes as re
quired By Law. nor do the boats
in business pay an occupation IL

a dozen congressman took the
floor in opposition to the two

thing unusual in these times.
In the face of the declining
farm income, food prices are

powerless to prevent it under

Miss Kellems asserts that the
Income Tax Amendment was slip
ped over on the unWary Ameri-
can taxpayer and is an instru-
ment used by the followers of
the Marx -Engels doctrine which
advocates the use of a progressive
income tax to destroy the capital
istic system.
AS for the Withholding Tax,
Miss Kellems charges that it COM
handlers every employer into
involuntary servitude, assumes
that every American worker is
unfit to administer his own af-
fairs, sows seeds of dissension be-
tween employer and employee
and conceals the hold which the
politicians have acquired on every

Make Life Beautiful 80.
James w. Sullivan

How good is your imagination?
Many of us have been using
our imagination too much these
many years, without realizing its
value. Many of us have imagined
what we wanted our life to be,
but have supposed it was too
good to be true.
There is where we have been
wrong. We have the power with
in us to be what we want to be.
1t only takes effort. We have to
be persistent in our efforts.
Whether we realize it or not,
we are always forming pictures
in our minds. Every thought we
think is a picture of an idea held
within our mind. When we hold
an objective (idea) within our
mind, Cor we imagine it) we
build our lives around this
image of what we desire.
When we begin to understand
the proverb: "as a man thinketh
in his heart (mind), so is he"
We can understand how we can
change our lives as we desire.
No one can build a house with
out a blue print and neither can
We build a career or set a goal
and expect to reach it.
We have the power to imagine
success and achieve it. We might
say that an education in school
teaches US to think and is basis
for us to draw from.
When we set a definite goal,
we must see it as a whole. Be-
ginnings are easy but it's the
finish that counts.
Draw the picture in your mind
that you want to see in life, you
can make it reality if it is
worth while. No one has ever
failed as long as he is trying.
