ELIMINATING COMPETITION The recent depression has . revealed “THE KEY WEST CITIZEN POC OCHO CSCC CCOEDETSOTSOCLOUSEOROUSESEOOSESSOOSEEE many business fallacies, and none more | ##¢ plainly than the belief that “competition is the life of business.” Competition stands revealed as a Waster. Not content with beating down commodity prices, competition has reduc- ed wages, increased unemployment, de- preciated stocks and bonds, wiped out for- tunes, and reduced millions to misery. Competition has multiplied businesses but decimated workers. President Roosevelt was given by con- gress broad powers to reorganize industry |- of every sort. The aim will be to allow every needed business to make a fair prof- it and to pay living wages by protecting it from the would-be competitor whose meth- ods are price-cutting, sharp practices, and foolish duplication of effort. The new business, opened in competi- tion with an established busjness which is already adequate to serve its community, is no longer to be left to bear the consequen- ces of its own error; for its consequences now stand revealed as affecting the entire community. Happy is the outlook now for the bus- iness which has demonstrated its economic necessity for existence; but the horizon is lowering for the business which must con- fess itself as belonging to the classification “surplus-age.” EYES ON LONDON It is not an unfair criticism to say that the World Economic Conference. has dis- appointed the progressive peoples of the world. It has revealed a nationalistic at- titude of mind, on the part of many of the delegates, that almost belongs in the dark ages—that would exclude foreign products from a country—even suppress alien thought. That would destroy books be- cause they did not agree with a ruling pow- er. The extension of this policy would mean more distrust among nations, commerce, unfriendly contacts and organ- ized destruction called war. The great nations must transform con- | ACROSS Ceremony .

The higher a “high hatter” is the lower he falls when the wind is taken out * of his sails, Tampa hospitality does not extend to gunmea who pull off daylight stick-ups.— Tampa Tribune. Hospitality evidently is limited to stick-ups in the night. It is gratifying to the county commis- sioners to have the governor's office com- mend them for handling the disposition of printing the delinquent tax list in a legal ™manner. News that a pig was to make a para- chute drop from an airplane in Baltimore doubtless tailed to thrill Iowa farmers. They watched pork drop for three years.— The Rocky Mountain News (Denver). + The delinquent tax list in the Florida Times-Union occupied 32 pages. Fully 95 per centum of the. property advertised was owned by Unknown. That’s too much property for one man to own; it should be confiscated. It costs big money to keep the read- ers of The Citizen informed through its Washington correspondent concerning af- fairs of loca] interest, particularly with reference to matters about the application of the bridge loan. Reputable newspapers do not run ad- vertisements after they have been ordered out. When this is done the advertisements Serve as a decoy or “come-on” to induce others to come in. “Holier-than-thou” newspapers are the chief offenders. When President Roosevelt summoned his cabinet to the U. S. S. Indianapolis re- cently. Sec. of the Intérior Ickes, who is a wretched or rather rechet sailor, demurred vigorously. He is quoted as saying, “I'll die for my president, but I'll be damned if Til get seasick for him.” Poor sailors who have suffered from the ravages of mal de mer will sympathize with the recalcitrant cabinet officer. Nevertheless, the presi- dent should not have selected a man with a weak stomach as his secretary of the in- terior. tional understanding and good will. thinking people of the world are looking for peaceful progress—and they tives—nothing else will be accepted.

WHY SILVER STABILIZATION There seems to be a good deal of mis- understanding of silver stabilization. It is feared that it simply means that silver will be given an artificial standard value, at the | barracks and will expense of gold. It doesn’t mean this at all,. As a mat- ter of fact, silver has an artificial standard of value now—it is far below any reason- | Lowe entered the ring at Knowles} able level. And silver should have as definite a value as gold—to half they know. It has been their medium of exchange for centuries, precisely as gold has to some of the western nations.
