Hoover has’one songolltion in his re- cent defeat; he got more yotes than any LOSING candidate ever got before. On the other band, President-elect Roosevelt got more votes than any WINNING candi- date ever got before. When newspapers gece from . the -Times-Unibn, everyone knows it is the splendid paper printed in Jacksonville, byt to identify the other larger papers in Flor- ida one must add the name of the city where they are published. Come on, you others, what’s the defense? ag eS ee Rev. Robert P. Shuler of Los Angeles, who made himself obnoxious on accoyrt of his tirades against’peligion other than his, Roman Catholie and Jewish, and public officials, was ruled off the air by the radio commission. So the rantings of this preacher with the crue] mouth will offend no more. Cellini’s Jife was tempestuous. In his autobiography he boasts pf his many murders and his sensuality, besides his many aceomplishmepts and the beautiful works of art he wrought. But he main- tained an unbounding faith in God and his crowning work of those living through the conturies was The Crucifix. A QUESTIONABLE PLAN Considergbje diseussion is going on concerning the St. Lawrence waterway } project, on which it is proposed to spend { United States treasury to assist Canada in building a canal, much of it cought that country’s territory. Thoughtful students of the situation are coming to look pon this plan as one which is against the best interests of the people of the United States, for seyeral reasons. First of all, there is no need for it at the present time. Besides, if our govern- ment has money to spend for such de- velopments it had better be spent entirely’ in our own gountry, rather than on a ditch i which would be closed to traffic half the year because of ice. Another reason for opposing the plan is that it would tend to further cripple our railroads and our own seaports, by diyert- ing traffie whicn they sorely aeed. As M. E. Tracy of the Scripps-Howard news- papers recently wrote: “As a ganal which runs through the territory of a foreign government, but for which we are to pay one-half the cost, it involyes a certain degree of risk: -As a means of diverting trade fror*%old estab- lished centers, it threatens ta become more of a liability than an asset. Ag gn ovr ori- ment calling for the outlay of many mil- lions of dollars, it should not be under- taken at this time. Under existing condi- tions we have no money to spare for enter- prises which threaten to injure our hard- ; several hundred million dollars from the | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN {[ @@evecessesovcccesoooses eecceee Daily Cross-word Puzzle 260 OCCOLOLP RED COR PLE ROOL >A ER Solution of Yesterday's Puzzie ACROSS 4, Metric jana + measures 5. adap cherie | 10.

Qn): an aroused public sentiment, vigorcusiy” ex- pressed, will avert this further waste of public funds. « COST AND WORTH What a thing costs is often much higher or lower than its real worth. This was illustrated in an address by a leading engineer who took as an example the cost and worth of that highiy useful metal, tuagsten. While tungsten costs only about a-dol- lar a pound, this engineer declared that its value in reducing electric light bills would’ make it reasonably priced at $338,000 a pound for use in electric bulb filament, in- stead of the old carbon filament exclusive- ly used up to about 25 years ago, The nation’s electric light bill of ap- proximately 800 millions of dollars a year would be 2,909 millions if the same amount of light were produced with earbon lamps, as the tungsten filament gives about four times as much light from a given amount of current as was obtained by the carbon filament. Through hundreds of scientific dis- coveries and inventions we are enabled to enjoy comforts and luxuries which would have been entirely beyond the reach of the average person without the patient -re- search and experimentation which have made them possible at a low price. When we are disposed to complain about the cost of some useful commodity or. service it would he well to reflect upon its‘worth as well as its eost. A 25 PER CENT REDUCTION President-elect Roosevelt, during his campaign, did promise to effect a 25 per cent reduction in governmental expenses. This would mean, of course, a 25 per cent reduction of the variable charges. The variable charges -will amount to about §$1,- 400,000,000. Thus a saving of 25 per cent, which would be a redemption the promise, would involve a saving of about $350,000,000. if this saving is made during the first | year of the new administration, it will be areal achievement. Th2 yew budget to be adopted, therefore, which will be form- ulated -by the officials of the present ad- ministration, should contain a reduction of not more than this $850,000,000. Any proposed budget which would eontain @ greater reduction we'd he an apparent attempt te put the new president and the new‘congress in g false pasition be- fore the people and would be political maneuvering and nothing else. ou Any reduction ihat is suggested in the | budget must be ratified by congress. The! country must maintain jts serviee to the people and it must pay its bills. It can — do so by having sufficient funds avail- able. | oar eee 14, insects imber 22.
