There was some honest to goodness competitive bidding on a big tax certificate ~ auction sale in Manatee county. Up were = certificates sovering 55,000 acres of Con- = solidated Naval Stores Corp. land in that E agricultural county. (Popular belief tener isethatthe Consolidated Land interests in- stigated the so-called certificate auction law, usually called bill 396, under which the (@ifttificates. were being sold.) To the consternation of Consolidated Lawyers who had bid $1,440 which just about covered legal costs on the some $60,000 of taxes nd Q, B. Mueller stepped up with a bid of $11,457 and walked off with the certifi- eates.

Perhaps that might have been true then, but current per capita tax figures show how tinquestionably that we Ameri- | eatis—at long last, perhaps—pride our- | selves in having lifted the tax paying lau- rels from our British cousins. Along about the time when we were béing reassured by this man of government Position that ours was indeed a lighter burden, the per capita tax rate in the Unit- ed Kingdom was $92 per year, as compar- | ed to our per capita rate of $75 per year. But that was some few years ago. Today the approximately 183,000 sep- arate taxing agencfes of government in | America drain a yearly average of about | $104 from the pockets of every man, wom- an and child in America. The crown of thorns is now ours! VACATIONS AND TAXES The American Automobile Association | estimates that 42,000,000 persons in this | country annually take a vacation motor | trip at a cost of about $100 per individual.

It is well to realize this and to remember that taxation is not vieious if the proceeds are wisely and in- telligently expended in the’ public interest. | SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen { The recent death of Jake Kilrain, at | the age of 78, recalls one of the most sav- | age and prolonged prize-fights in which | Kilrain was beaten by John L.
