In | thas years it has given to the Soviet Republic 150 | sirplanes, 25 airdromes and 25 hangars, together with much equipment for fighting farm pests and forpet fires. { The Aviakhim offered the American travelers | the facilities of its scores of stations stretching | setpes the country between Moscow and Onisk, a | disfarike of 1,500 miles, and sent.as their pilot the | é Korpilef, who though only 29 is a veteran | ef World War and considered one of the | government was spending for ordinary purposes || Fer Plastering, Stacee end | before it entered the war. = foremost airmen. = spite of the conflicting and usually unfav- | orable reports which come to America concerning conditions in Russia, it appears that there has been | a great awakening in that hitherto unhappy coun- bi At least, such a conclusion must be drawn | from the great zeal and activity shown by the Avi- | MR. LOVERING FOR MAYOR OF MEDFORD Information received here from the North is to the effect that leading citizens of Medford, Mas- sachusetts, are urging Frank W. Lovering of that city to stand as a candidate for Mayor. Mr. Lov- ering’s father was’ one of the earliest incumbents of the office, the second one, in fact, after the city charter was adopted. A Well known here from both 9 business stand- point and as an ardent sponsor of better things for Key West through his firm advocacy of a planning and zoning program, Mr. Lovering has been a fre- quent visitor here during the past several winters. Many valuable articles boosting this city have been prepared by him especially for The Citizen, and following their publication, have appeared in advertising pamphlets issued by different civic bodies. : Mr. Lovering’s many friends here will be in- terested to.know of the opportunity which has been offered him, and will be further interested to know that he has no sentiment whatever towards the position of Mayor in his home city of 51,000 people, - For three years he was a member of the Plan- ning Board there, and in a chat with The Citizen editor last winter he said that was a job which was non-political, non-paying, and yet of such a gen- uine future value to his city that he had disliked to refuse the appointment, though he begrudged the time it would require. i Key West had keenly contemplated Mr. Lov- ‘ering becoming a:valuable and leading citizen of this city in the not far distant future and that he might some day become chief executive of this charming metropolis of the Florida Keys. He has done a great deal for this community in ‘many ways.’ The people here appreciate it, and would be pleased to demonstrate their gratitude in a sub- stantial way some day.” Medford, Massachusetts, would have a model mayor in the congenial and) progressive person of Frank W. Lovering if he should offer for election, but Key West yet has hope that he will some day cast his lot permanently with the. peeple ‘here, where he is held in highest esteem, and every one knows that he loves Key West, for “actions speak louder than words.” ; A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY It has been claimed in,past years ‘that the Re- publican party was a patty of business, like. effi- ciency, which could be depended upon \to take charge of the govefriment, and lovk' outi for the te terests of the people in # systematic way. Whether or not that idea is true, is a fair theme for argument, but whatever force there ever was in it has largely disappeared during re- cent years, owing to certain divisions that have split the Republican party wide>: open and -pre- vented its acting as a unit. ‘ Even if the Republican party is given a large majority in congress, it can not control that as- sembly of lawmakers. There is no party coher- ence. The party is largely dominated: by impor- tant business interests which run the affairs of the country, or try to run them, in a way to protect those big business interests, but which fail to give due regard to the interests of the aa of the people. That leaves a great mass of Republican voters, particularly through the agriculturat states, unpro- tected from the evils that afflict them, and they aré now in a condition of obstinate revolt, and are constantly getting more indignant at, the failure to consider their needs and interests. “In this con- dition of division, the Republican party ceases to be an effective agent for accomplishing any kind of useful results. It can not put through a con- sistent program of measures to benefit the people. It is of course true that if we should elect a Democratic congress this fall, such a could not do very much, it was large encugh Democratic majority to pass measures over the presidential veto. But such a Democratic. vic- tory would go a long way to assure Democratic unless suecess in 1928, as a result of which those great | inequalities that work against the interest of the | masses of the people, could be removed. TAX REDUCTION PROSPECTS While President Coolidge expressed consider- ; able doubt a few days ago, whether a further re- dugtion in taxes could be made at present, hopes are expressed at Washington that the congress to be elected this fall will be able to make an addi- tional cut.
