Cellini was a master of nattative, and his autobiography is so absorbingly eriter- taining that the beok when finished is laid down with the regret that the creator of “Perseus” had but one life to portray. He should have led a double life. When Mrs. Ruth B. Owen was dp- pointed tag agent in Okeechgbee county a Fort Myers resident assumed the job had gone to Ruth Bryan Owen and “pointed it out as a sign that Dave Sholtz was going to be just anether gevernor,” says the Moore Haven Democrat. It should? be um! necessary to explain that the appointee | BANK GUARANTSES It wotd be @ very fine thing if sortie practical means of guaranteeing bank de- posits could be devised, but former ex- periments in that line by individual states have invariably proved disastrous. Here is a partial record of the results of state legislation on the subject: Oklahoma: Law enacted in 1907, re- pealed in 2923, deficit $7,000,000. Kansas: Enacted im 14909, repealed 1929, defieit $7,000,000. Nebraska: Enacted 1930, deficit $20,000,000. Mississippi: Enacted 1914, suspended 1930, deficit over $3,000,000. South Dakota: (Most;disastrous ex- periment of all so far) Enacted 1915, re- pealed 1927, deficit $32,000,000. North Dakota: Enacted 1915, repeal- ed 1929, deficit $14,000,000. ‘ Washington: Enacted 1917, cancelled after $9,000,000 Seattle bank failure, in- operative since 1921. Texas: Enacted 1915, repealed 1927, deficit $16,000,000. There is now pending in Congress the Steagall bill, which seeks to guarantee bank deposits on a national scale; in fact, the bill has been passed already by the House. In view of the disastrous ex- perience of the states with this kind of leg- islation, it would be well for the Senate to consider it very earefully before commit- ting the government to such a hazardous scheme. As a recent writer said: “What America needs is not .the guarantee of bank deposits, but laws which will make the issuing of new bank charters more difficult, and which will not encourage competitive banking to the point at which it may endanger the wel- 1911, repealed } fare of a community,” THE COURT STATUS Of course, the Eighteenth Amendment absolutely prohibits the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages and until the repeal of the amendment to . beverages which are legally intoxicating can be manufactured or sold in any part of the United States, no matter what the laws or opinions of these states may be. The Volstead law, however, fixed the percentage that might be intoxicating at one-half of one per cent. This was mani- festly a ridiculous @efinition.and it was attacked in the courts. In at Iéast two in- stances, there are high eourt decisions to thé effect that beers an@ ales of 4 2.75 aleoholie percentage are not intoxicating. These decisions, when brought before the supreme court on appeal, brought.the decision of the highest court of the land that although this alcoholic percentage might not be intoxicating, it was within the right of the congress to détermine that any amount it might specify might be ac- cepted. The supreme cout, therefore, has opened wide the gate for congress to de- fine as non-intoxicating, am alcoholic con- tent that it might itself consider intoxicat- ing. Thus a beer of high aleoholie content and a wine of fairly high alcoholic con- tent, might be definéd as non-intoxicating by congress in accord with -the United? States supreme court decisior, OUR REAL NEEDS At this time, all petty politics aside, our real needs are’ economies where the public funds have been wasted or ex- travagantly misused, and larger fax revertes Where they can be obtained with- out undte hardships on business and private interests. There will undoubtedly be a tre- mendous cutting down of the appropria- tions for prohibition enforcement. This will be a real saving. ’ THE KEY WEST CITIZEN 1 AcCROss Equiné aninia - Rub out explosive _ Daily Cross-word Puzzle 3 00 0 0c che bSebe sede dsocdenss Siccccccndeddosedécede Soltition of Yesterday’s Puzzle [AIRTETS DIRTAIC IO} ARIA 1.
