We hold this to be a fundamental principl¢ of democratic government.” How did the glorification of prostitu- tion, the theme of a recent moving picture, ever get by Czar Hayes?’ Maybe he’s be- coming broedminded, If you want some advice on how to conduct a newspaper, don’t go to the editor, see one of his subscribers.—Times-Union. No comment necessary. We can readily believe the report that a Georgia gentleman who is about to be confronied..by. five alleged wives is “in a highly nervous condition.” A physician says boys shouldn’t smoke before they are 21. By which time motier and little sister will have demonstrated how to do it gracefully. Jonah, The Citizen porter, was. all swelled up yesterday after he got editorial mention in The Citizen along with Leonardo Da Vinci, one of the greatest masters of the Renaissance. Major Ernest Brown has adopted the Weyler “reconcentrado” methods in herd- ing the hunger marchers into a certain strategic position where they can be con- trolled. Of course with the Weyler brutalityrelinrinated. “tis. an - effective military maneuver, It is impossible to please some folks all the time. Tallulah Bankhead, the actress, sojourning briefly in New York, says Hollywood is alright but the climate gets on her nerves. “Just let it trade some sunshine for a couple of fogs from Picadilly circus and the place will be God’s country,” nasty, cloudy, rainy, gusty weather for which ashe seems to crave. es She says. Well, Florida wouldn't suit her | county and municipal governments—which either, pronounced “eyther”, (she’s been } are the most expegsive of all—and public in London, you know), since we have no | Officials, to observe the example. In short, { A BUSINESS ISSUE The Garner resoluiion to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment presented Mon- ‘West, Florida, as second class matter ' day on the first day of the “lame duck’ session, and although the congressmen were elected by the “drys” the defection resolution was lost by only five votes. Now the Volstead Act must appear befoxe the bar (no pun intended) and | hear its sentence. In its consideration of the beer ques- tion, congress should realize that the ques- tion is one of business and not personal conduct. The moralists have had their oppor- tunity and a sorry mess they have made of it. Instead of improving the morals of the country and weaning the peomle 1.om the evils of intemperance and Crunkenness, they have bred an age of criminals and criminal offenses that cannot be matched in any period of recen* history. Congress must act intelligently and must regard its action in the light of re- viving a business which needs government aid and encouragement. At the same time, congress must realize that any legis- lation it may enact should protect the busi- ness it is reviving. It should not impose restrictions in the way of either taxes or method of distribution that will prove a temptation to any profitable violation of the legislation adopted. Just how quickly the brewing business can be restored, revenue realized and idle workmen employed, just how soon the farmer will find a new market for his bar- ley, corn and hops, just how soon all these benefits will result from the legalization of the brewing of beer, will depend largely on the manner in which the legalization is accomplished. If our legislators make the error of throwing obstacles in the way of the revival of the business, the results are certein to be disappointing. The present attitude of the country in regard to the legalization of the brewing of beer is one of hopefulness that the step will mean revenue in sufficient amount to materially reduce the tax burden. The country now realizes that it could not afford to destroy one of the greatest in- dustries it possessed. Prohibiting the brew- ing of beer and destroying the business de- pendent on it was a hit of national ex- travagance that was not realized at the time because of our great prosperity fol- lowing the war. The brewing industry died a slow and expensive death, a death which cost the country a tremendous amount of money. It cost the farmers, the workingmen, the owners of real estate, the hotels and res- taurants of the country, as well as those directly engaged in the business, amounts of money which simply cannot be cal- culated. Such a loss of capital, even though it has been spread over a term of almost fourteen years, has naturally had an ad- verse effect on our national business and our national prosperity. MUST FORCE TAX REDUCTION One. of the most encouraging phases of the late campaign was the attitude taken by the majority of candidates for public offiee toward the cost of govern- ment and the need for tax reduction. President-elect Roosevelt has stated that a 25 per cent cut is esscntial and has pledged his efforts toward achieving that. Those elected with him have echoed his views. If such a reduction is made it will have an amazingly fine effect on the coun- try—not only in the money that will be saved, but in psychological result. There is no question but what the specter of still higher taxes frightens thousands of in- vestors and shoves money into safe-deposit vaults and tea pots; that it prevents busi- ness from going ahead and expanding ; that it discourages home building and sav- ings; that, in this time of unemployment, it creates more unemployment, more hard- ships, more distress. Every citizen should demand a sound program to lower taxes. We can do this by not asking for expenditures that touch only a small part of the country at the ex- pense of the whole; by taking the broad, rather than the local, view. We can fol- low up federal reductions by forcing state, the tme and the opportunity for tax re- duction are here—and it must be had, a THE KEY WEST CITIZEN "EY WEST | IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 19 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 Thursday.
