DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen When the Federal Farm Board was established it was giveii half a billion dol- lars to be used us a revolving fund in aid of agriculture. It looked like a fine idea. But im practice it hasn't worke:! out very well. The half billion has been squandered in a futile effort:to “stabilize” the price of -farm products. In other words, the ré- volving fund revolved only once. A receht survey disclosed that among 306 former graduates of City College, New York, the honor students earned: an aver- age of $184 a month, while others earned only $147.60. The advantage of the bright group was somewhat offset, however, by the fact that they had more children, wor- ried more and were consequently more susceptible to nervous breakdowns. So maybe it’s just ds well not to be so smart, after all. Speaker Garner, now vice-president- elect, is quite modest, and his biographies in the Congressional Directory and in Who’s Who are very meager. Neither men- tions the fact, recently related by the Path- finder, that fits first public office was a minor judgeship, for which place he was opposed by Miss Bttie Rheiner, whom he later tiatried. (Durhig | his 80 years in congress, Mrs. Garner has been his secre- tary. Murderers Nathan Leopold and Rich- ard Loeb, iow serving life sentences in the penitentiary at Joliet, Ill., have appeared in the new rolé of pedagogue. Their pro- posal t6 conduct a high school correspond- ence course for inmates of the prison was approved by the officials. ‘Professors” Leopold ahd Loeb, it will be remembered, killed little Bobby Franks for the thrill of it, and were saved from execution through the skillful pleading of Attorney Clarence ~-Democratic jubilation over the elec- tion was capitalized by Boston crooks, who sold ticketé fot a “Democratic Victory Banquet” at $25 a plate Lut failed to pro- vide any banquet. Among their victims twas Mrs. Jessie Wilson Sayre, daughter of the late President Wilson. For the benefit of those who may be wondering about little Charles Bernard St. John, Kansas Cit} baby who weighed only | one pound at his birth some eight months ago, it may be said that he is doing fine and has added 18 potnds to his original weight, : to the attention of The Citizen ; annual national income is satisfy the demand of thi every $30 fiftecn years ago. THE RACKETEER KING One of the most pointed articles on | the subject of governmental wasie to come | : | ACROSS lately from the Public Service News of Kansa City, which declares that the high cost o government has now become our greatest‘ racketeer, which makes Al Capone ; others of his ilk look like pikers. It declares that 26 per cent of the required to super-racketeer. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | ecccccccateseascesos i, .

This staggering burden is not borne; g Every man, Wo- | } by any particular class. man and child in the nation must pay a share of tribute to the ogre of govern- mental waste. This 14 billion dollars comes out of capital, savings and payrolls. It re- sults in decreased earnings and increased | cost of living for each of us, no matter how rich or poor. It is one of the reasons why business and employment do not improve. An aroused public Capone away. of all public enemies—the high cost of government—it, too, can be suppressed. All over this country the voters and taxpayers are organizing to put a stop to the encroachments of this king racketeers. Public officials who fail to heed the growing demand for economy in government are on the road to oblivion. THINK 3 THIS OVER Congress is now in session. There will be a hundred and one suggestions for farm relief, unemployment relief, ete. Most of the suggestions will be at the expense of the taxpayer who, in turn, needs relief unless the sources of taxation are to be dried up. * Suppose that instead of new schemes to soak the taxpayer, congress would urge that five million individuals well able to do so—one twenty-fifth of the population of the United States—should spend in the next thirty days, an average of $200 each for needed improvements to their homes or places of business. This would put one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) into im- mediate circulation, would create new tax- able income and property, and start an etidless chain of buying and production. The public should recognize that re- lief for itself can come only from itself. Congress can give no relief exce takes from one person and gives to an- other. Instead of having our money taken from us and getting only a tax receipt in return, why not spend it wisely so as to get value received and at the same time start business going, which, in turn, will return our expenditure through increasing tle business of each of us instead of killing it by exorbitant taxation. POOR HUSBANDS The “Sobsister” of one of the large metropolitan district newspapers is con- ducting a discussion on the part of wives as to just what measure of liberty is proper for a husband. There seems to be a rather liberal dis- position on the part of some of the wives to permit him to go out on any evening they may desire to go out themselves. That is, when the wish is to ramble about alone, or presumably so. The discussion is rather a sad com- mentary on the position of the male animal of today. Where once man was the head of the household, he apparently has no rights today except as to his right to pay the bills. We can’t believe that. Any man who is worth his salt rebel at any attempt at feminine domina- tion. We have had a great deal of it in this country and it hasn’t done the cotintry very much good If we had fewer masculine women, fewer sexless individuals in trousers and less male fear of tears, beratings and hys- teria, we would all be more happy and prosperous. And every real man would do every- thing in his power to make “the little wo-} man” happier than she is now. of } Fourteen bil- | 3x principal { finally put Al!
