LE PRESIDENTIAL HUGH C. SPARKMAN, W. B. LANIDR ELECTORS 2 3 4 8 After such a long suspense, they may aptly be called the suspension bridges. An Outlaw is captain of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad police at Tampa, Flor- ida. Not even a devine can devine whether the R. F. C. will grant the loan for the bridges. Printing of advertisements in any newspaper that have not been ordered as a come-on to bait others is just a plain case of fraud. The United Lutheran Church in Amer- ica condemns ecard parties, dancing and games of chance as a means of raising church funds. While the diversions them- selves were not officially criticised their use for such purpose was censured. What Howey doesn't know about Florida state affairs is aplenty. In his campaigning he promsied to reduce salaries of circuit judges $600,000, The state pays less than $300,000 now. reduce the number of the grand jury from 18 to 1 and save $600,000. The grand jury costs only $200,000 now, and ad nauseam. so The Camden Evening Courier and the Morning ‘Post, of New Jersey, which in their 60 years of existence have never sup- ported a democrat for president, have an- nounced editorially their support of Frank- lin D. Roosevelt. That news will not be read with non-chalance in Washington for! those papers are very influential in New Jersey and their defection means an Then he would | the expenditures being for special services to. a limited number of persons from which services the general taxpayer, who must pay for them, can derive no benefit. { 2. It creates new classes of political | to incur debts, levy taxes and spend public | money. 3. | vents the investment of private capital in new enterprises because a private citizen eannot compete with tax-free, government- owned projects. 4. It invites the worst kind of poli- tical gerrymanding for promotional schemes at public expense. 5. Each time the government goes into business, it removes taxable property from the tax rolls and loads the taxes thus lost onto remaining taxable property, plus additional taxes for new governmental ven- tures into the field of industry. The question of the government in business in compétition with its private citizens should be considered from the standpoint of the principle involved, rather than from the interest of any particular line of business. The business itself is inciden- tal to the principle. If we subscribe to the theory that public ownership is good for any business, even in a small degree, we should be honest enough to go all the way and sanction complete prblic ownership and control of the means .. production and distribution. We should not single out one line of business to stand the brunt of such unfair and killing competition. Government competition might better apply to the local meat. market, grocery store, or clothing store, than to oc an ship- ping, insurance, public utilities, railroads and banking, for it is much more important that the average family get the first three items at cost than it is that they get the lat- ter items at cost. a THAT TARIFF COMMISSION President Hoover in his Des Moines speech, complained of the democratic at- tempt to deprive the president of the power to revise the tariff rates upward or down- ward on the report of the Tariff Commis- sion and gave to his listeners the impression that the democrats wanted to.destroy this power of revision. What the legislation was intended to affect was not the curtailment of this presi- dential power, but its transmission from the president to the congress. The country may well recall the most important suggestion of the tariff commis- sion, that of a reduction of the tariff on sugar, ata time when such a_ reduction would have effected a saving of upward of one hundred million of dollars to our peo- ple. The suggestion was opposed by the great financial powers which control the machinery of the republican party and Calvin Coolidge refvsed to act on the recommendations of the commission. The country has a vivid recollection of what happened to those members of the tariff commission who criticised the presi- dential action in this instance. One commissioner was sent as minister to Norway and the others were summarily diseiplined. President Hoover made a very unhappy eeierence in this instance. FLYING TO MECCA | Tt was with onshie like a shock | | that the Christian world heard of the ad- vent of the railroad into Jerusalem some years ago. Somehow it seemed almost like sacrilege to invade the Holy Land with such ; on innovation. Now the Mohammedan world is about | to experience a similar upset of its tradi- tions, The airplane is to replace the camel as a means of transporting faithful pilgrims to Mecca. i A pilgrims’ transport agency of British India is seeking a dozen airplanes to carry 20 or more persons each for the use of the | pilgrims. Several ships are also desired for the sea portion of the journey, frem; India to the port of Jeddgj. Thence they desire to go by airplane to Mecca. Tt would be interesting to know what [Mekanmned, himself once a camel driver, would think of the abandonment by pil- 1 agencies and gives them unlimited power It discourages industry and pre- “My People!” = KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happexings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen if you were born on this date 10 years ago, your birth- day fell on Saturday. | On vote of city council at their} mecting last night it was decided to appropriate $50 monthly for one year to aid the work of the Red Cross chapter.
