Consolidation of County and City Governments, “Every governmental officer or board that handles public money should publish at regular intervals an accounting of it, showing where and how each dollar is spent.. We hold this to be a fundamental principle of democratic government.” When the average business man looks blue, he’s usually in the red.

A New York doctor says old age needs whiskey. But not as much as present day whiskey needs age. Excessive tidiness is said to indicate a peculiar kind of insanity—from which most me PRICES ARE GOING UP Everyone knows that prices are going up. A penny here, a nickel there, dollars more in the case of higher-priced articles. Things are going to cost still more, too, and we can get more now for our dollar than we will be able to later on. Washington wants to see millions of men go back to work, and wants no one to work for less than a living wage. Indus- tries are getting together to make these things possible, but as wages go up, prices have to go up, too, of course. Take the household washer as a fam- iliar example, because it is used in 9,000,- 000 electrified homes, and in half of all the farm houses. Practically everything that goes into the making of it has been ad- vanced. Makers of the parts and of the finished machine’ know improved wage scales will help their own employes; give them more buying power. This is going on eyerywhere and‘it is designed to help everyone. The factory hand in the washer factory will be able to buy the carpet he wants and the worker in the carpet mill will be able to buy the washer he wants. As for the farmer, his “wages” in the form of higher commodity prices give him better buying power, too. This explains why washers and other labor-saving equipment probably never again will be as cheap as they are now. But it also explains why such a state of general affairs willbe better for all of us. MOVIE STARS’ SALARIES From what appears to be a reliable source, we are informed that some rather drastic cuts have been made in the salaries of movie stars of late. In fact some have had to take two or three cuts, even as you and we. A table receutly publisned shows the actual weekly salary figures for some of the Metro stars. Weekly, mind you, not monthly or yearly salaries. We quote a few: Marion Davies and Marie Dressler have been cut from $6,000 a week to $3,- 900; Norma Shearer from $5,000 to $3,- 250; Joan Crawford from $3,000 to $1,950; John Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore and Wallace Beery from $2,500 to $1,625; Jackie Cooper, John Gilbert and Ramon Navarro from $2,000 to $1,200; Jean Har- low, Jimmy Durante, Buster Keaton, Rob- ert Montgomery and Lewis Stone are slash- ed from $1,500 a week to only $975. The above list includes only the head- liners of one producing company, but it may be assumed that it fairly represents the salary range of other producers. It has been said that in their prime, Gloria Swan- son, Mary Pickford and several others re- ceived salaries much higher than the high- est quoted in the foregoing, and at one time . i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle OP CCCDCODOADALOCODECOOCOLOMIOE Solution of Yesterday’s Puzzie ACROSS .

Paid for write-ups in Japanese news- papers are not labelled as such as is the custom in the United States, nevertheless they are recognized by the readers and evaluated accordingly. These write-ups are known as “kiji-no-ko-ko-ku.” Evidently that describes them accurately, your favorite stars on the screen, remem- ber that they may be doing their best to appear happy and gay, while in real life they are worrking along on salaries rang- ing from only $975°to $3,900 a week. THE PERFECT NEWSPAPER (United States Publisher) Persons who find a peculiar satisfac- tion in pointing out the faults of our present day newspapers and showing them what they ought to be apparently are motived by the mental processes of the individual who sits for the photographer and then blames him that the likeness is not a thing of beauty. The American newspaper can not re- flect either Mars or Elysium and be a news- paper. The true newspaper approaches perfection when it presents the news of the day rightly evaluated, each item des- ignated its proportion of space, properly placed and typographically treated. The editor may not arbitrarily exclude news matter, play it up or play it down. So far as he does, he distorts the picture. Rel- atively social values should determine relative newspaper values, The place for the newspaper reformer to begin is with the society that the news- |« paper serves. Education is his weapon Says M. V. Atwood, associate editor of the Gannett group of newspapers: “There is little chance for the ideal newspaper until a golden age, a new age of culture and beauty, has been ushered in. There are indications that the tide is turning, but not} until it does will the newspapers take their color from the culture and beauty of the} age.” | the terms and officers and me | British bat- ip. is due to al ow for a stay of 10 days. 1 »| has recently been at Ha- Judge H.
