Béfore criticising conditions in Key West,.how about pointing the accusing fingerAt yourself; you have probably helped; to create these undesirable condi- tions through your own fault, IfKey West is good enough to live in, it is geod enough to support by giving its | storessyour patronage when you buy your! supplies.

It takes a dollar off the property tax and puts another dollar on the income tax. It shifts burdens from an inheritance tax to a sales tax. It discovers intangibles taxes—supposed to lower some other tax, but increases the total volume of tax money taken from individuals and indus- | try. And so it goes. The average tax reduction program is afarce and misrepresentation. It robs | Peter to pay Paul. It does not recognize the fact that there is but one way to lower taxesto spend less money. Keep the pocket illustration in mind next time your public officials announce an economy drive. See if they actually do lower the cost of running the govern- ment, or simply dip into your other pocket. Then act econo aly, QUELLING THE FEAR OF THE FUTURE Thousands of Americans have lost their savings, their estates, and their ° in- vestment income—but their life insurance holdings are as valuable as in the days of ! the boom. In many instances that is all they have left.

BEER BILL COURSE With the Collier beer bill now under consideration by the senate and the prob- ability of its passage, interest centers in what President Hoover will do with it. Congressman Britton of Illinois, after a conference with the president, intimated that he would sign it. Almost immediately with this announcement by the press, came the statement of one of the White House secretaries that the president would do nothing of the kind. Supporters of the bill assert that it will be signed, while opponents declare that it will be vetoed. ; The probability is that the beer bill, if it reaches the White House, will be neither signed nor vetoed. The Constitution provides, in Section 7 of Article 1, that if any bill be passed by both branches of congress and sent to the president, it shall become a law unless it is returned by him within ten days. Presi- dent Hoover can show his disapproval of } the. bill and at the same time aecede to the | demands of the country by adopting this course: It is his probable action. } With a 24 per centum decrease dur- ing the last year, farm wages are the low- Then you begin spending | 8.

Blenus, manager of the Hotel Jefferson, suffered a stroke of paralysis this morning anxt was found by one of the employes in a critical condition. It is an- nounced that he is very ill and has rallied but very little since being stricken. Of the one hundred and three passengers arriving from Tampa this morning, 64 of them were for Key West. Most of these will leave on the trip to Havana later in the season. The others will spend the wifter here. Noble E, L. Hollis, of the Shrine Club of Key West, will leave over the East Coast this evening to meet Imperial Potentate ‘ Jim McCandless and him to the city tomorrow mor The potentate will arrive enroute to Havana and ¥ e entertained by local st during his stay. “IT make it a point to advertise land City. I play up the fish and the fine climate to be found here and I find that more of my parties each trip decide to stop in Key West instead of mak- ing the return trip to the west coast,” this was said to The Citizen | this morning by Mr. DuBois, whose business is giving touring parties the advantage of wide know- ledge in travel matte The military ball given last ing by the enlisted men of the + 3. 3S.
