Ladd is publishing in The Citizen today} official notice of the last date on which licenses for automobiles jand trucks can be purchased. The date announced is January 15. Hence any motor vehicles found without license after that date will be considered as being il- legally operated and the owner} will be subjected to arrest and! punishment as provided by law. At the last session of the legis-| lature it was provided that Jan- uary 15 would be the last day for the purchase of motor vehicle li-| censes, but the governor was em- powered to extend the time one month if, it his opinion, it was! desirable to do so. Several weeks ago Governor Sholtz sent communications to all’ tax collectors in the state advis- ing that the monies accruing from automobile and truck licenses went to the schools, and at this! time the schools were badly in| need of funds. | ~ Im the; communications he im-| pressed on the people of the state the necessity for immediate pur- chase of tags and warned all own-| ers that even though he was grant- | ed the right to extend the time} one month, he did not intend to do| this, but would hold all owners to} the purchase of tags by January} 15, as the law provides. To. preclude the possibility. of owners of more than one car changing the license from one to i,another, and also to guard against} theft of the license, a new inter- locking tag was devised and this is the license plate that is now on sale at the offices of tax collectors in Florida. \ \ LAST OF CHECKS AND CASH FOR WEEK DISTRIBUT- ED: YESTERDAY The last of the pay checks and| cash for employes of the Civil Works Administration and the| Federal Emergency Relief Admin-| istration were distributed at the| | city hall yesterday afternoon for| the past week. | The estimated amount for dis-| tribution was given as about $13,-/ 000, The actual figures in the; | office of Paymaster Eugene Rob-| jerts show that disbursements amounted to $14,378.54.

The senate and house had. brief -\separate meetings before sitting ina joint. session in the massive house chamber. Fresh from party conferences among pre- dominant democratic majorities, Vice-President Garner and Speaker Rainey arranged to be side by side on the dais, presiding over the first joint session to be addressed personally since the days of Coolidge. ‘ ADDRESS COVERS PROGRAM, GENERALLY WASHINGTON, January 3.—President Roosevelt, in his message to a joint session of congress today, refrained from detailed specific recommendations of legislation, but dealt in general with his recovery program and its progress during the past six months. Addressing congress personally, he asked cooperation “to continue restoration of our national well being and equally important to build on the ruins of the past, the new structure designed better ‘to meet present problems of modern civilization. . We. have ploughed the furrow and planted good seed.” He said, “The hard beginning is over. If we would reap a full harvest, we must cultivate the soil where good seed is sprouting, and the plant is reaching up to mature growth.” Roosevelt apparently planned to deal later with exact legislation he proposes to recomniend in line with the prac- tice inaugurated at a special session last March. He congratulated congress for work done in that ses- sicn, and called for a continuation of the program then enacted. TO REPORT LATER ON DEBT MATTERS The president disclosed his intention to report later to legislators on “debts owed the government and people of this country by governments and peoples of other coun- tries. “Several nations acknowledging debt have paid in small part, others have failed to pay. One nation, Fin- land, has paid installments due this country in full.” Returning to home problems, he said, “We have been shocked by many notorious examples of injuries done our citizens ‘by persoris of gréups who have been living off their neighbors by, use of methods either unethical or crim: inal. ; , “In the first category, a field which does not involve violations of the letter of our laws and practices have been brought to light which have shocked those who believed we were in the past generation raising ethical standards of business. “They call for stringent, preventive or regulatory measures. 1 am speaking of those who have evaded the spirit and purpose of our tax laws of those high officials of banks or corporations who have grown rich at the expense of their stockholders or the public, of those reckless specu- lators with their own or other people’s money whose op- erations have injured the values of farmers’ crops and the savings of the poor.” Reviewing his stewardship, Mr. Roosevelt referred to his gold control monetary program as having a two-fold purpose of “strengthening the whole financial structure, and arriving eventually at'a medium of exchange which will have over the years a less variable purchasing and ian X for diplomatic and} there will be no delays in the|states “The operation of any! debt * ” i ‘ A paying power for our people. | work as far as the forces are con-| motor vehicle after the 15th of; ste: Sesecoooseoressoes tenance are greater than the An Associated Press dispatch) tend. average for the preceding five years,” says the report, “because better maintenance / received today by The Citizen)... 1, of the northwest entrance {ftom Tallahassee shows that Mon-) __ the first time of a woman ch ele templated.” roe County has been apportioned) gE =——ee | cust. $2,169.19 of state school funds A Marked F No funds for new work toward taking care of operations Cotee ew na are asked, the report adds,/for the month of December just for the reason that the com-}¢lesed. : ay merce at present dees not| Ths amount is in addition to eae MACHIN |“ wuere To co [ Seesecesecovosseeressees | TONIGHT The only obstacle to progress| rent year shall subject the opera- J.
