We have also heard that the ap- pointments in each case have met with pepular approval. At this early stage the race for demo- cratic nomination to the U. S. senate threatens to end in a love feast. Claude Pepper began it by assuring everyone he wouldn't say anything mean about Senator Trammell. Next, Claude was dancing with Mrs. Hortense K. Wells at Bartow, to-use his campaign headquarters during a campaign visit at Vero Beach. John Page is.a fellow townsman of Mrs. Wells and she and Senator Trammell are old and cer- dial acquaintances. It seems each regret having to oppose the others, but their friends, no doubt, just forced them into it. —Miami News. SHE HAD AN IDEA! Trust the American woman to think something different and interesting even in her welfare work, as well as something that is practical. Members of the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary have announced their intention of making one million glasses of | jelly for the needy and unfortunate by Oc- tober 1—and thereby hangs a tale. | delphia named Mrs. William H. Biester, Jr., last year was national rehabilitation chair-~ fice, she came face to face with the urgent welfare needs in communities all over the country. And, at the same time, she met so willing—to help but couldn’t seem to get started on anything worthwhile and prac- tical. That set Mrs. Biester to the poor! Food! What kind of food should women make? Something that could be made easily and inexpensively, something close to the “staff of life,” and something that would keep indefinitely. Then the an- swer came to her. And jams. The whole preserved fruit family. Why shouldn’t the half million members of the Auxiliary make thousands upon thousands of glasses of these nourish- ing, wholesome energy foods for Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter baskets? To distribute in orphanages, in veterans’ hos- pitals, to the needy in communities every- where—right where the jellies were made | in fact. Mrs, Biester’s idea grew roots and now the Auxiliary is launching a nation-wide jelly making project with a million glasses as its goal. Z And so, next fall and winter, many a child who would have had to eat his bread | with no accompaniment will have delicious jams and jellies to spread upon it. TAX EVASION {Sanford Herald) Having decided against the advisabili- ty of levying a municipal sales tax in order to increase necessary operating revenues, the powers that be in Miami are now plan- ning to promote a “Pay Your Taxes” cam- paign. It is disclosed that the City of Miami has more than nine million dollars in delinquent taxes on its books, an amount sufficient, if collected, to make unneces- sary any additional tax levies. No doubt what is true in Miami _ is equally true in many other Florida muni- cipalities. It has become to a large extent unfashionable to pay taxes, and even those who are in a position to pay refuse to do so. | Just why it:is any more moral or less crimi- nal to dodge or evade city taxes than fed- eral income taxes is difficult to explain and yet the very people that allow their real estate taxes to go unpaid year after year complain the loudest against those “malefactors of great wealth” who have evaded income taxes. The point is that everyone who is able ought to pay all the taxes levied against, and the governing authorities ought to see to it that all taxes are collected. For it is just as sure as death that those who do not pay their taxes simply make the load which others have to bear all the heavier. The operating expenses of a city require certain fixed sums and jf half the property owners do not pay their taxes the assess- ments have to be doubled against those who do. We do not believe the widows and or- phans ought to be driven from their homes because of an inability to pay taxes, nor do we think it just to deprive any man of his | property who during a temporary emer- j gency can demonstrate his incapacity to pay, but we are convinced that in some in- stances comparatively wealthy persons are taking advantage of official hesitancy to enforce collections in order to escape their j ' property responsibility to the city’s finan- | | cial support. Cases such as these should not be al- | lowed to increase the burdens of the hon- | est taxpayers. { os Guseneoneoe j “Advertourist” is the name coined by | the Winter Park Herald te describe the lications of mythical circulation and short | life. The name is entirely too compli- } mentary. They should not be associated | with tourists at all. Untila better word | bobs up, we shall be content to call them,/ | as did the Lake Worth Herald recently, just plain “chiseler.” Webster has recog- nized “chiseling” as slang for “cheating.” —Miami News.
