Time states that it -will contiiue to use the word “tycoon” in referring to the big shots in the business world until’'a bet- ter word’ is found. The Citizen suggests “jotun” ‘ihstead. If The Citizen has a déep-seated con- tempt for anything or anybody it is fora public official who takes graft. When once graft is stopped you will get better men for public office, fiot before. A new regime has brought out a word not frequently used until tevently. “conservator” and pronouiced con-ser- ‘va-tor with the accent on the “¢on.” In the manner of “bulletin” with the accent on the “bull.” ‘The Alabama legislature is said to be establishing new tecords for speed: But legislators shouldy’t start patting them- selves on the back for it’s quite obvious ‘this isn’t hard to do, wnder the preset ) ponderotis movements of the law-making mapehine. Days of great journalistic achieve- ment avenot atanend. The Key West Citizen printed a.story the other day of the theft, of a sick of free flour from a poverty-stricken resident and refrained from calling the thief “the meanest than.” —Miami News. The New York Tribute piiblished ‘April 20, 1874 by Horace Greeley was only four and one-half itiches wide afd six inches deep. The Pathfinder asks “Know ‘Any Smaller.” Yes. The Mustard Seed, publishéa ‘occasionally in Key West. Its size is 8 1-2 by 6 1:2 itches. Germany’s fetish is the miustaclie. Once it worshipped the mustachios of the kaiser, fierce and large and turned up- ward at the ends. Now it*bows to the puny heated hifsute appendage of Hitler, | prived of his bigotes, Hitlér would likely be the erstwhile ‘(paper- hanger of Munich, instead of the dictator of Deutschland Ueber Alles. A few months ago the soldiers in the Sino-Jap controversy declared that the bitterness of winter made it:much too cold to fight. With summer now coming on, they ought to vote it teo warm for active warring. If this is done, the Leagtie of Nations cai once mote assume its former responsible position and everything will be as it ought to be—until _ next time: aa President Roosevelt has declared him- self against the sales tax, so have most penators and representatives, Yet it is the only tax which could be made to feach every citizen; and the rate is so low that it could never prove burdensome to any- one, It is the most equitable tax for every- one from the bootblack to the banker, and it is the most convenient to pay. You are taked only according to the ability to spend. It is the only “income tax” paid by the family earning less than $1,000, and unless the family owns real estate, also, it constitutes the w contribution for all ; government service), Thete seems to be a “nigger in the w le” in regard to the sales tax, it is NOTHING FOR CHARITY When our government was consider- ing resumption of specie payment after the Civil War, Sherman is credited with say- ing that the only way to resume is to re- sume. That applies now. Everywhere the prevalent thought seems to be, What can Ido to cut down? Whom can I fire? and} so on, Commenting oh the statement that “investment and employment are cheaper than charity,’ F. V. Keesling, attotiey of San Francisco, says: “Unless there be continuous investment and employment, there willbe nothing for charity. ° ; “There is an unfortunate attitude among the people. For instance, at? the golf links the other day one of the mem- bers decried the fact that there were sev- eral men employed in planting trees. When he was told that it seemed to be a highly desirable thing under the conditions, 8o long as the club could afford it, a clearer vision gave him a proper reaction.” You can’t pile up public debts, in- crease taxes, discourage industry and create unemployment, without destroying the capital and earning power of the, nation. This destructive procéss has been go- ing on for three years. No good fairy is coming out of the clouds and create em- ployment. The people are going to have to éfeate it for themselves: The good fairy will be theit own desire té do some- thing. Every day that ihipes of us who can} afford to, delay in furnishing employment for needed and necessary work, our ia- tional wealth is reduced, taxes are in- creased for charitable enterprises and the day draws nearer when there will be noth- ing left to give for charity, and govern- ment itself will face bankruptcy through inability to collect taxes. Thete are mil- lions of individuals and industries whose premises are sadly in need of repairs: The time to do that work is now. Delay is ex- pensive “economizing.” SLASH PINE PAPER Experitients which have been in pro- press for several years have finally re- sulted in the production of first-class news- priht paper from southern slash pine, thé latest developments representing a revolu- tionary discovery in papet-making. 2 Such is the assertion of Dr. Charles H. Herty, former president of the Amer- ican Chemical Society, who has been a pioneer in the researches leading to the reeently announced result. Paper “has heeh made from slash pine before, but the latest product is the first to meet all the requirements of standard newsprint, and even exceed them. ‘ Perhaps the most seiisational fact about the new product is its strength aiid light weight. It has a “burst strength” of 10 to 12 pounds to the sqtiare inch, com- pared with only six to 10 pounds for tisual grades of fiewsprint, in addition to being somewhat lighter in weight. Another advantage in sing slash pine is seen in the fact that by a new method of cultivation discovered by a 20- year-old Georgia farm boy, Marion Ren- froe, trees of sufficient size for paper- making can be grown in seven years; | Whereas the average age of Canadian spruce trees now generally used is 50 years. The fact that two-thirds of the print paper used by American fewWspapers is now imported, chiefly from Canada, in- diceates the possibilities of developing a great paper industry in the south. These possibilities should fit in admirably with President Roosevelt’s reforestation pro- gram. EATING us ALIVE The publisher me the Chieago Tribune recently made an address catrying the vivid title of “Tax Eaters, Tax Eating and Tax Eaten.” The first, of course, consists of Fov- ernment officials, the second of | govern- ment and its activities—and the third, of the poor taxpayers. The suggestion is sivt so far-fetched as it may seem. We're reaching a point where the tax eaters are | abeut to sallow everything we've got. i Keep that title in mind when you | meditate upon government. [It describes a situation which you as a voter and a tax- | payer, have allowed to develop—and which you must do your part in putting an end te, unless you and all your possessions | are to be entirely digested by the bureau- erat. | KEY WEST CITIZEN Secceceveccccooeceooevecs Across 1 Low gaitet. 5.
