The Florida idea is to attract In

be subjected to a state Income tax
on top of the federal income tax.
This assurance bus been voted In
to tho constitution of Florida. It
carried at the rocent 1924 election
by a five to one vote, and the en
tiro state Is alive with the spirit
of encouragement of Investment.
