But Milton also was blind; however he wasn’t a Boston poet. The nation is going juicy. We have grape juice, ovange juice, tomato juice, and now comes prune juice. Then there is juice of the forbidden fruit, and last but uot least electric juice. Leading universities are now opening courses for the unemployed with degrees to be conferred. But with the present worth of a diploma, those out of jobs shouldn't be too optimistic. The word sincerity is taken from the Latin meaning “without wax,” and it is said that originally it was used for honey, which has been strained of all foreign matter, including wax, as the best and fin- est honey should be. Similarly, the sin- cere mind is one which hes been strained of all falsity. THE FUTCH LAW The Futch law, which prohibits. the issuing of tax deeds for the next five years, will save tens of thousands of hard-pressed property owners in Florida from losing their real estate. persons will-pay their taxes when they are able to do go, and, should that be true, the law surely is a deserved blessing for many worthy landowners. Qf course, the deliberate tax dodger is aecorded the same protection as he who would pay his taxes if he had the money, but that condition of good and bad applies to all classes of people in every field of endeavor. Proponents of the law believe that it will result in the collection of more de- linquent taxes than had been done under the former procedure. Before the Futch law went into effect, if a delinquent owed taxes for two years, he was compelled to pay the entire amount, regardless of how long a period they ex- tended over, and for that reason thousands who had been in a position to pay for a year or more had been forced to forego paying anything. At present, however, if a person owes four or five years’ taxes, or 40 or 50, for that matter, he can pay for only one year, if he so wishes. In that way, which may be termed an installment plan, many will manage, before the expiration of the five- year period, to clear their real estate of all tax encumbrances. Because of that provision, Senator Futch and other proponents are firm in their conviction that the law will prove to be an impetus to the collection vf delin- quent taxes. Another incentive to the payment. of delinquent taxes is the provision of the law which permits delinquents to satisfy their back taxes in bonds of the county in which the land is located, excepting the clerk’s fees and the cost of advertising the tax sales, which must be paid ip cash. The fees and the advertising eosts amount to very small percentages of the amounts for taxes. Many prominent men throughout the state believe that the Futch law will lead to the creation of a sales tax in Flor-y ida. ‘ Nobody, with certainty, can declare that such will be the:outcome. It will not be so, if the hope of Senator Futch and many others become a reality: accelera- tion of payments of delinquent taxes, due to the far easier methods of payment. Time is the only answer to that phase of the law; one must wait for several months to npte its effects on the volume of taxes paid. But it may require several years to learn the full benefits of the law, because of a provision that gives a delinquent a fur- ther breathing spell of 15 years should he pay all his current taxes between now and July 1, 1988, the end of the five-year pe- riod. Finally the burden of over-mounting taxation in this country has been borne far more hy rea! estate than anything else, so that if it is given relief in Florida through the operation of the Futch law it will be getting only what is justly due it, regard- less of whether or not it results in the crea- tion of a a“ tax. SAVE THE TAXPAYERS $10,000,000 “The taxpayers can be saved $100,- 000,000 annually by abandoning waterway enterprises, and at the same time the fi- nancial condition of distressed railroads will be materially improved,” said Harold G. Moulton, President, the Brookings Insti- tute, in a new book on the transportation problem. ‘‘Morever, it will be much eas- ier to effect a reduction in freight cars if we cease to divide an insufficient volume of tonnage between duplicating transpor- tation systems.” it would be difficult to find a more un- sound vgnture than the average waterway. It can take care of but small proportion of the freight of its area, and is useless in transporting perishables or fast freight. Its operation is dependent, very often, upon climatic conditions. It is unable to pay its own way—indeed, in the case of one of the largest waterways, the shipper pays only about half the cost, while the balance is paid by the taxpayers, in the form of a subsidy. It contributes nothing to goy- ernment in taxes. And it is a heavy bur- den on taxpaying railroads. If relief measures for the railroads are to succeed, the problem of inequitable, sub- sidized waterway competition must be given decisive treatment. t It has been said that nine out of ‘ait Beecesoecccccescveccesesssesccoeoues egeee ereveceocoosanssesccegs ACROSS lution of i Gae or woe’ Mmatlon of Vootergar’s =a 4 Diminish 9.
