COUNTY DELINQUENT TAX LIST (Editorial) No county in Florida, so The Citizen has been authoritatively informed, has awarded the publica- tion of the delinquent tax list on bids, and, so far as can be learned, it has never been given out on bids in the history of the state. & One of the informants, Russell Kay, secretary of the Florida Press Association, wired The Citizen that it ts illegal to have the list published for an amount less than that provided by law. Secretary McEwen, of the Associated Dailies of Florida, also advised The Citizen that nowhere in the state are bids to print the delinquent tax list called for, but in every instance the newspaper is designated for that purpose. The purpose of the phrase, “not more than,” used in the law was, and still is, to prevent any paper from charging more than that sum. The result has been that a uniform rate has al- ways been charged in Florida since that law has been on the statute books. : Whether it would be legal to charge less than that sum is a question that has never been decided, because no newspaper has ever charged less. How- ever, Mr. Kay is not alone in believing that a lower rate would be illegal. ‘The procedure always has been for the board of county commissioners to designate an official organ for the county and to have the delinquent tax list published in that organ at the legal rate. In counties where there are two or more DAILY newspapers, commissioners alternate in the designa- tion of the official organ. Not even daily papers have had to bid against each other or one another, as the case may be, and the proposal to compel a DAILY to bid against a weekly had never been broached until the Monroe county commissioners, at their last regular meeting, decided to ask for bids—something that had never been done in the state before—from The Citizen, a DAILY paper, and from one of the weeklies pub- lished in Key West— a disadvantage in. which no other daily newspaper.in the state has ever been Here are some of the disadvantages: The Citizen is published every day in the week, except Sunday; the weekly, of course, is published once a week; é The Citizen has the expense of the Associated Press news service, the best in the world; the weekly has no expense in that regard; The Citizen has TWENTY-FIVE persons on its payroll; the weekly has three; The Citizen is an institution in Key West—it has been published here for FIFTY-FOUR years; the weekly has been published three and one-half years, and is the THIRD paper in the field. Incidentally, The Citizen was among the last corporations in the country.to reduce wages. It held out as long as it could, but, with two weekly papers as competitors, it was forced to cut its payroll to survive. i However, before The Citizen took that action it tried in every way possible to keep in effect the same salaries it paid during the boom years: One of its first acts was to reduce the size of the paper - from eight to six pages, and later on, with the competition of the weeklies still continuing, to four pages. Finaliy, the cut in salaries had to come, or The Citi- zen would have had to become a weekly also. With only the advertising patronage accorded it in Key West to depend on, The Citizen, long since, would have had to go into the weekly field. It was possible for it to continue in the daily field because of the foreign and legal advertising it received, but now, with the threat of its losing the largest of its “legals” for which it is paid—it has been more than five years since the city of Key West has paid The ~ Citizen for publishing the delinquent tax list—, its survival as a daily hangs in the balance. Getting the delinquent tax list published at a rate less than that provided by law is not an economy measure, so far as the taxpayer is concerned. It does not cost him a penny. The money is advanced by the state and is later collected by it from the DELIN- QUENT taxpayer when he redeems his real estate, NOT from the taxpayer. Finally, is it fair to compel The Citizen, a DAILY, to bid against a WEEKLY; to compel The Citizen, which has been the Official Organ of Monroe county for many years, to be the ONLY newspaper in the state to bid for the publication of the deifnquent tax list?
