An auspici tal an hout the cor but not much more than iper headline to the busy ile, the sweating riveter, ied executive or his weary clerk. Legisla‘ors tackled their job in a! businesslike manner. Both House and Senate pushed through the opening routine and were organ- ized for action in remarkable time. | Senate.President Beall and Housi Speaker Simpson inspired thei colleagues from the start with their brisk .and competent conduct of proceedings that kept things mov- ing and yet sacrificed neither courtesy nor consideration.

Among’the first batch of bills to choke the yawning hopper were several that would abolish various boards and bureaus and prevent the employing of special attorneys. Following the Chief Executive's urge for action on public health measures that would piace a strict curb on venereal disease, several legislators introduced bills de- signed to solve this problem and remove the sitgma that now rests. on this state in that connection.

While‘ the Governor's recommendation offers an casy way out, a great many members of both the House and Senate are not satisfied that sueh action is either justified or necessary. Those from the state’s tobacco growing areas were quick to express their opposition, while similar opinion was expressed by leaders from every section who look on_it in the light of an ex- cessive-tax burden on the luckless cigarefte smoker rather than on the commodity itself. The ghost of Governor Fred stalked.through legislative corri- dors as the old familiar, “We don’t need no more taxes” rang out as a challenge to administrative sug-, gestions and legislators began prying into governmental costs with the thought that substantial’ savings may be found possible through the elimination of unnec- essary activities and services and stopping the practice of employ- ing special at‘orneys to perform: tasks which the people pay their Attorney General to handle as a Part of his constitutional duties. £enator Beacham of Palm Beach disclosed that with the settlement of an estate in Palm Beach, Fior- ida would fall heir to approxi- mately four and a half million dol- lars. Such a windfall at this time ought to ease the situation consid- erably and make any new taxes unnecessary, since Governor Hol- land in his message asserted that GIVES THIS RATION BOOK CHART that “The Legislature shall by gen- eral laws classify their cities and towns according to population, and shall by general laws provide for their incorporation, govern- Ment, jurisdiction, powers, duties and privileges under such classi- fications and no special or local laws of such nature shall be passed by the Legislature.” Despite this mandate of the peo- ple, four Legislatures have failed to perform their duty.and by gen- eral law provide a uniform sys- tem of government. At the present time municipali- ties are governed under the au- thority of special charters granted by the legislature in the form oi special acts, and we have about as many forms of municipal gov- ernment as there are municipali- ties. And to make matters worse, thesy charters are being constant- ly changed to meet the whim, fancy or designs of the group that happens to be in power at each legislative session. Representative Walker of Vo- lusia would have the 1943 Legisla- ture act in the matter without further delay, and he has intro- duced a bill for a uniform system of mynicipal government as man- dated by the people by a vote of better than two to one nearly ten years ago. Its passage would mess up a lot of play-houses, and in view of that fect it will have a rough and rug- ged road to travel before it reaches the Governor’s desk: NEW FOOD POINTS It Fits The Inside Cover Of Your OPA Book No. Two BLUE STAMP Rationed Foods + ++ Effective Mar. 29, 1943.

DR. KINGDON OPENS: Want can be abolished! Our technological so- ciety can create enough wealth to supply the necessities of life for all our people. The problem is how to distribute wealth to get this result. The Beveridge Plan is a program for social security based on children’s al- lowances, health and rehabilitation services, and maintenance of employ- ment. The question arises: can we have such planning and preserve individual freedom? The Beveridge Plan overtly faces this issue, and never subordi- nates freedom to security. It main- tains the contributory principle, not only as sound finance, but as a guar- antee of individual self-respect. It emphasizes the value of voluntary agencies, for while it provides a min- imum for everybody, it leaves indi- viduals free to provide for themselves beyond this minimum. It sets no limit to initiative! It is not revolutionary. It takes the principle of social security, which has been applied unevenly, and ap- plies it consistently throughout the social order. It plugs present gaps. It does not make the government give the people a, higher standard of liv- ing. It gives the people an opportu- nity to share in raising their own standards. % It can be applied to the United States even more effectively than to Great Britain in proportion as our per capita wealth is greater than theirs. MR. HALL CHALLENGES: The Beveridge Plan would be revolution- ary if applied to the United States. In Sir William’s own words “the im- portant thing is that the plan is part of a policy of a national minimum, of giving benefits as a right which are adequate in amount (enough for sub- sistence without other resources) and adequate in time (last as long as the need lasts) and do not vary with pre- vious earnings of the person insured. In other words irrespective of what he does for society, society must give every man a minimum to live on. Could anything be more unAmeri- can? | DR. KINGDON REPLIES: It would | be unAmerican to allow any person, adult or child, to go hungry or home- less if we can devise a way.to pre- vent it The American minimum of rights consists of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” A man cannot enjoy life without enough to keep bim alive, or liberty without minimum decencies of experience. He cannot pursue piness if he is starving. The Bev Plan is a program for mobilizing the energy and wealth of the community to safe- guard the well-being of all. It is not revolutionary. It is the explicit ap- plication of the principle implicit in !an extraordinary contribution to ted by Henry Noble Hall Veteran British and American Newspaperman, Authority on International Affairs, MR. HALL OPENS: The question is not whether want can be abolished. In a country as blessed by nature as the United States, if everybody con- tributed his maximum in goods and | services to the community, without — interference from the Government, there would probably be less want j than anywhere on earth. The ques- { tion is whether the Beveridge Plan | can be applied to the United States. The idea that a plan, scientifically | worked out in great detail to give | sogial security and provide free med- ical care from the cradle to the grave | and irrespective of the reeipient’s | ability to pay, for a highly industrial- i ized community: of 46,000,000 people | dependent on “imports for nearly ai! | their food and living on a tiny island, : so small that nowhere can a man Stand on it more than 78 miles trom | the sea, that such-a plan could be | adopted to the United States where | economic conditions and the way of | life are almost diametrically opposed, | simply does not seem to make sense. The per capita wealth of the two | countries does not enter into the | question. If it could be applied to the United States, where earnings are higher and distances greater, the Beveridge Plan would cost upwards of one billion dollars a month! DR. KINGDON CHALLENGES: Mr. zen rightly says: “If everybody contrfbuted his maximum.” The point is that many people are prevented from doing so through no fault of their own. They face periodic unem- ployrhent from causes beyond their control Has society a responsibility for them? Yes! To a hungry man the question is decidedly the abolition of want—his want—and the way to abolish his want is for the commu- nity to pool its resources to provide a minimum of life for everybody. The Beveridge Plan points the way. The hungry man’s hunger is the same whether he is 75 miles from the sea or 1,500 miles. MR. HALL REPLIES: No civilized community allows a hungry man to die of starvation, but ‘responsibility for those who “face periodic un- employment from causes beyond their control” has nothing on earth to do with the question “Could the Beveridge Plan Be Applied to the United States?” Apart from the fact that there is no need for it in Amer- ica, that it would be repugnant to American traditions and the Ameri- can way of life, it could NOT be ap- plied here because it's drawn up to "ARMY SON INSPI RES PRODUCTION SOLDIER | Buying ‘Bonds and Paying War | Taxes’ May Be Difference Be- tween Life and Death By STANLEY CRAWFORD |fish loaves, and sauces.
