Which would ~ still not be so bad if there were any bricks to be Jaid.” : Few peogle would know we were off the gold standard if they hadn’t read it “in the papers. Most of us have been off it a good while. Recently the 1,900,00th patent was is- . sued at Washington. Most of them, we guess, were for cigar lighters that wouldn't _light and fountain pens that wouldn't write. e Former Viee President Marshall upon ~ one occasion said that what the country needs most is a good 5-cent cigar. It ap- pears now what the country wants most is . & 5-cent glass of beer. A newspaper alleged or otherwise that wilfully misrepresents and distorts the “facts or manufactures news items out of e@ whole cloth while reflecting discredit reputable newspapers as a whole, liy strengthens the position of the con- porary in the community where it func- ns. . There js a chap going about town _ betting swe hats that the money for * the bridges will be available by July 1, if not sooner. Whether he has inside in- - formation or merely the courage of his J eonvictions is problematic. That he will “either have a lot of surplus headgear or go broke is a certainty, but news stories _®oncerning the paramount thought of this community in The Citizen from its Wash- ~ ington correspondent indicate that he will _ be plentifully supplied with chapeaux. “BACK TO WASHINGTON” The latest news from Washington about the proposed long bridges, published by The Citizen yesterday, should strength- en the confidence of Key Westers in the belief that a loan will be obtained from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to con- struct the proposed bridges. The commission, to which the story referred, is the proposed organization that was specified in a series of legal notices that was published in The Citizen several weeks ago. These notices were required by law, as the measure before the legislature is a} local bill. Not only will the bill, when it becomes a law, form a more compact organization to handle the building of the bridges, but it will also give to the commission a more substantial standing, because of the state’s moral support, in the estimation of the R. F. C. directors than has or had the Overseas Bridge Corporation, which will cease to function further when the commission as- sumes a legal satus. Further (this will immensely please every Key Wester), when the commission is’created, George J. Rosenthal, who has tried to block every effort of the Overseas Bridge Corporation to get a loan, will be without that proverbial leg on which to stand. As the supreme court has invalidated Rosenthal’s so-called contact with the Mon- roe county commissioners to construct the bridges, it would be foolhardy for him to try to question the right of the legislature to create the commission and to grant it an exclusive franchise to build and operate the bridges. “Back to Washington!” That is the impelling slogan of the bridge advocates who are now on their way to Tallahassee to have the bill creating. the commission become alaw. And back they will go to make forma! application to the R. F. C. for a loan of $11,000,000 to finance the project. There is no question about the bill’s receiving the approval of the legislature, beeause it is a local bill, and all measures of that nature are passed, generally with- out an>-opposing vote, due to legislative courtesy. And Governor Sholtz has assured the advocates that he will sign the bill. Indeed, he has favored the proposed bridges for several years and has declared that their construction will result in the rapid deve- lopment of the Florida Keys, particularly Key West. Congressman Mark Wilcox, from this district, also has a plan to obtain a fund for the construction of the bridges, which does not in’ any way conflict with the ef- forts of the commission. Mr. Wiicox’s aim is to have money provided for the bridges in President Roosevelt’s public works program, a bill outlining which is now. being prepared. As Mr. Wilcox explains, what’ action he will take depends on the way in which the proposed bill is drawn up. “Back to Washington!” and then— well, The Citizen is unshaken in its confi- dence that the R. F. C. will grant the loan to build the bridges. AN ANTIQUATED STANDARD? Here are a couple of. college profes- sors’ frank opinions about the gold standard which are given for what they may be worth—in the realization that col- lege economists are rated higher lately in the opinion market than they used to be. Prof. Frank T. Carlton of Case School of Applied Science; one of the country’s leading technical colleges: “To say that anything is good because it is old is foolish. I sometimes think we ought to revalue our institutions every ten years. We are living in an era of extraordinarily rapid change. The prestige that surrounds gold may be the prestige of the past and not of the present. The gold standard was adapted to the wagon road, tallow candle period. It may be a worn-out tool, an obsolete sys- tem, in this technological era.” Prof. Harvey A. Wooster of Oberlin College: “A good many of us—President Roosevelt included—question the desir- ability of trying to keep on any sort of gold standard. We cannot possibly go back to a gold coin standard unless vast new sup- plies of gold are discovered, which is not likely. Our demand for gold is increasing at the rate of 3 to 5 per cent a year, and the supply at only 2 per cent. These two lines have been diverging for years.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Pe PeeerecccesseacessseSeNsenevecooscsoee Daily Cross-word Puzzle 9 0000000500000000000000050000000R8808080K 0000008 ACROSS 1.
